Our 40th reunion was a blast and the weather was great!
I want to thank the entire Class as well as the dedicated Alumni Association for keeping the spirit and Nasson memories alive.
About 35 classmates were able to come to the Campus:) We wore special 40th reunion name tags that had our picture from the 1965 mug book. We may have changed in appearance but we are all still 20:) We were whisked back to our student years on Campus:) We had time for a leisurely walk around the local streets and view remaining dorms.
Thanks to the arrangements by the Alumni Association we were able to have a tour of the renovated gym, the chapel, and the Little Theater which is being completely renovated. The renovation is in progress and it will be the Nasson Legacy
Memories flowed at the restaurant where we gathered for our 40th reunion dinner. We all had a wonderful time looking at pictures that classmates brought. Reminiscing was so much fun:)
Of course there was the after hours get together for those who stayed in the hotel. We met in the coffee room and the laughter and memories lasted into the early morning hours. The bull session was alive and well!
For those who were able to attend and took pictures please e-mail them to me or send them to me and I will do the scanning and I will return the pictures to you. I will get the pictures up on the web site and I will get mine up shortly.
Thanks to all who were able to attend. You made our 40th reunion a success!!
A special THANK YOU to Gordon for being my local connection and for making the hotel and restaurant arrangements.
Thank you to June Gillis and Anna Ashley for making the Alumni Day details and the entire Association for your never ending efforts to keep the Nasson spirit alive. Thanks to the Town and local businesses and all our donations that have supplied the money to fund the renovations.
I’ll close now before writing like an award recipient, but the truth be known I was rewarded by having a wonderful 40th reunion:) My dreams came true!!!! Thank you all:)
Milt (& all), Thank you so much for sharing your photo file with those of us too removed from that amazingly resilient campus to attend the recent reunion. The photos capture the spirit of the event so well that I, for one, regret even more my absence from it. I was delighted to renew, if only via the screen, a number of friendships too long lapsed. I was especially intrigued by the question which captions the amusing shot of Virginia North peering into the basement of the dorm: “Where’s the Den?”. Apart from endless games of bridge and what remains the single best juke box playlist ever assembled, I’d like to know if the place is still there ‘cause one never knows when a second job might be a good idea and I have a great deal of hands-on experience behind that counter as short-order cook/counter staff. . .any chance the Den is hiring? Thanks again for letting us be part of the reunion – the warmth and joy of the event came ringing through. cheers, david
The Reunion was a kick. Missed the 35th as I was guiding a hunt in the Northwoods of Maine that year. Good to see the folks that made the trek. Swap stories. Speak of aging children. Compare medications. Meet other cancer survivors. No other crash survivors noted. Wandering the campus was unique - somewhat different. Looking forward to a future gathering - perhaps sooner than 50th - or - 45th. With most of us retired or retiring - perhaps a motorcoach rendevous in the various national parks. See you on the road.
