With the big event only a few months
away, the 50th Reunion Planning Committee
remains very busy in preparing
what promises to be a truly wonderful
experience for all returning members
of the class. Co-chairs Tom Baxter and
Bob Bishop report that great progress
has been made on the reunion yearbook
and the class gift, two major priorities
facing the committee with deadlines fast
approaching. Tom and Bob, along with
Steve Carmick, Ralph DeOrsay, Morrie
Heckscher, John Hill, Bill Lamb,
Rich Liversidge, Hunter McMullin, and
Jim Zug have been convening in person
and by phone monthly, and all are
excited about celebrating this fantastic
milestone for the class at the same time
as the school bids adieu to the Merion
and Devon Campuses. The class gift has
been earmarked for a scholarship fund
honoring the deceased members of the
Great Class of 1958, and we are hoping
that each and every classmate will want
to be part of this project.
It seems somehow appropriate that the
class which was the first to graduate in
the Jim Quinn era (following the iconic
Greville Haslam’s 36-year run as head of
school) should be the last class to have
its 50th Reunion at Merion. We hope
and trust that everyone has marked
May 2-4, 2008 on their calendars and
will join in the tribute to 87 years along
City Line Avenue, and perhaps even
more important, 50 years since the commencement
ceremonies of one of EA’s
most distinguished classes!
We encourage you to check the class
reunion Web page regularly at www.
episcopalacademy.org/reunions, where
you can see details of the activities on
reunion weekend, and to see who has
committed to coming back. We’d like to
see your name on this list!
