(photo courtesy of Carl Burke)There were nine of us at the 30th reunion of the Class of 1976 at Alumni Weekend on April 22, 2006, including John Banks, Glenn Beeson, Jeff Bowling, Marco Caceres, Chuck Dodson, Fernando Manrique, Bob Richards, Rick Riley, and Bob White.
I was also glad to see David Burke, with whom I played on the soccer team. David was a few years younger than us. Carl Burke, under whom I took chemistry, was also there. Great to see him again.
The reunion was cut short due to rain. The afternoon baseball game, and tennis and golf tournaments were cancelled. The parade at 11 am was moved indoors to the gymnasium, which was okay but it certainly lacked the splendor of having it on the soccer field and being able to march with one's class.
It was nice to see everyone at breakfast in the mess hall. We had lunch under a large tent set up in the middle of the track field.
I was saddened to learn of the death of Richie Huizenga, Hiram Saunders and Jimmy Wheeler. Jimmy died not too long ago... He attended the 25th reunion in 2001.
I spoke at length with Jeff Bowling and Bob White about trying to locate as many 76ers as possible in preparation for the 100th anniversary of Hargrave's founding in three years. It would be great to have a large contingent from our class there. I think we graduated just over 50, so I'd like to aim at mobilizing at 25-30.

At a time when women can enjoy themselves with fashion.
When you wear bright colors like these, keep your accessories simple,
so that the color becomes the focal point to the face
to result in the loss of an eye.
