Dear alums - What a great Reunion! It was so much fun seeing so many of you have a wonderful time. It makes all our hard work during the year worth it to see your smiles, hear your laughter and watch you run around and dance like you were back in your college days.

The "Calendar Girls" Launch party was incredible! Fourteen models showed up and signed calendars while the champagne flowed and the stories were told. Thank you for having so much fun because we did as well! Below are some comments from those who attended....

Want to Thank You & Officers who planned an excellent Reunion Weekend as I had a wonderful time touring the campus & Bragdon was my Freshman Dorm -which certainly has changed!

Wow! What a difference & new! Even the hill is gone! Enjoyed Pres. de Witt's gathering too. I went for Sat. only but saw Calendar Girls Party, delicious luncheon, Tours, Pres. deWitt's party, lobster fest & dancing. So glad I went back to visit. Don't know where the years go though. Plus visiting with many alums, which I hadn't seen in years! Again Thanks! Best, Bev Kimball Lamburn ‘55

Dear friends - I am writing to you from the class of 1960 who just love our reunions. I want to thank you for a wonderful weekend. hope we were not too loud. We just love each other so and are so bonded. Thank you for making it so wonderful. Everything went off without a hitch and your plans gave us things to do and time to be together. The seminars were great and the tours were wonderful and the food was exceptional.

One great big tribute to all of you who worked so hard to make it all happen. Thank you so much - the class of 1960. Bill and I enjoyed the time we spent at the 60th reunion. It was fun to renew old times with those attending. The concert Friday night was wonderful and the pianist was outstanding. That was a busy time for you and you did a great job organizing and putting everything together. You were on the "go" everywhere.

Thought the staff did a tremendous job of seeing to everyone's needs. Kudos to all who work at Klingbeil!! If I had a lot of money, I’d send everyone on a little vacation. Don't plan on it, though, ‘cause my pockets are near empty!

I was lucky enough to win two of the raffle prizes. My only suggestion would be to have those wonderful name tags with big letters in different colors for each class. Good job!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the reunion weekend was a huge success. Everyone, and I do mean everyone worked very hard at making it the success that it was. Briefly, Karen, Patty, Cathy, Ruth, Noni, amongst others, put their all into making everyone comfortable and seeing that we were taken care of at all times. They all are to be commended for a great effort. It was most appreciated.
