Here’s what some of them had to say: “The memory of the weekend and sharing with classmates, many of whom have not been seen for years, will remain with me forever.” — Lou Orban ’61 “Despite life’s busy schedule, make time for your reunion. You’ll appreciate the opportunity to reconnect with the spirit of da’ U, see all the wonderful changes on campus and most importantly have a wonderful weekend with your classmates.” — Patti Clifford ’86 “A great and rewarding experience, well worth the time and effort. It’s amazing how much has changed, yet it’s still the same U of S.” — Drew Von Bergen ’61 “There is something about the spirit in Scranton, something that drew us there when we chose Scranton. The spirit grew within us over the years and we took a part of that when we graduated. As we gathered reunion weekend, I felt that spirit again, standing as a class on the steps. It was almost as each one of us brought that piece of what we took back to where it all began.” — AMDG John Gownley ’06 “I had not been back to a reunion in 35 years. It was awesome! An unbelievably good time and great to see my friends. Now I just can’t wait until the 40th!” — Richard T. Walker ’85 To see more of the fun and fellowship at the 2011 Reunion Weekend, see our Reunion photo spread on page 25.
