Reunion Notes

Anyone know where the Friday night reception will be held? That's the first event we can attend. See you all there! [Editors Note: The Friday night reception starts at 7 p.m. in one of the two tents on Kagin Lawn.]

My Mac Memories:
Springfest (vaguely), ISO dance parties, The King & I, debating philosophy with Beano and Greg Sawyer in the very smoky union, all-nighters in the new library, my dear adviser Roger Blakely, and mail runs for the English Dept. office.

I have pretty much just kept hanging out around psychology departments, drinking lots of coffee... Kristen Shepherd '86 and I did finally marry and we now have two growing daughters.

My Mac Memories:
Days on grand with Jeffrey... bicycling in the snow and in thunderstorms... talks with Jon and Joe long after the studying ended... muddy Springfest... spring break in the mountains and desert... meetings with Peter on Shakespeare and Skinner and Determinism... first year in Wallace and all the new music... classes with Mark Davis, Walt Mink, Chuck Torrey... the sense of possibility...peanut butter and jelly summer with Joe... and yes, hanging around the Psychology Department, drinking coffee.

I am sorry that I will miss the reunion. I live in the Philippines and it is a bit far. Plus, we will be visiting my cousin in China then.

I keep myself busy here by teaching at the local university and by trying to establish the Philippines', and most likely Southeast Asia's, first foodbank. Hopefully, we will be up and running in a few months. And yes, even in this developing country, safe, edible food is thrown away, every day.

My Mac Memories:
Far more is forgotten, of course.  Remembered: the Portland dorms, late-night study sessions, old and new libraries, Springfest, Scottish Country Fair, CC, late-night visits, debates, activism, snow.  And, where I was when I heard the Berlin Wall fell — strolling across Grand.
