Greetings, ’98s! It was wonderful to see so many of you in Hanover the weekend of June 14-16! It is still hard to believe that that was our 15th reunion—where has the time gone? But the reunion was an absolute blast! We had 252 total adults in attendance for our class, and a whopping 134 kids as well. It was so fantastic to see everyone! And, as always, so nice to see our friends in the ’97 and ’99 classes as well. We had absolutely amazing weather (especially amazing given our track record). We had a beautiful dinner catered by the inn on Saturday night down by the river. We had breakfasts catered by Lou’s. There was a lovely memorial service for the classmates who have passed. There was a chaotic, awesome lunch in Leverone with bouncy castles for the kids. And the College put on this fantastic day and night of performances, circus and fireworks on the Green. Not to mention that our tent was obviously the place to be (and the tent with the best bar)!
Thanks to Kate Gold and Javier Garcia for spearheading the reunion effort and for making such a wonderful weekend for us all!
We had a changing of the guard at the reunion. Joan Ai finished her term as vice president, Rachel Drew finished her term as treasurer and I finished my term as secretary. Thank you to Joan and Rachel for the amazing work they did!
The class’s new vice president is Rodrego Byerly, the new treasurer is Stu Davidson and the new secretary is Jeff Beyer. So this is my final column, and from now on you’ll be hearing from Jeff and should send him all your news. And, finally, I’m staying on as president. Thanks to all the new officers. I’m looking forward to the next five years!
We are still in the process of finalizing the executive committee and other appointed posts, so please get in touch with me or with one of the other officers if you’d like to be a part of the class leadership. We would love to have you! And don’t forget to send us your reunion pictures, or post them to our Facebook page!
Finally, thanks for sending me news for the past five years. It’s been fun keeping up with everyone, and I look forward to reading much more about you in the upcoming issues of the magazine!
