"Where the Wild Things Went—15 Years Later." Friday, June 15, to Sunday, June 17, 2001. Be there.

One of the class events during the weekend will be nominating the slate of officers for the next five years. Bill Rodgers has kindly volunteered to head the nominating committee. Anyone who would like to run for an office should contact Bill at wmrodg@wm.edu or (757) 221-2398. Offices include: president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, head agents, Alumni Council rep, mini-reunion chair and newsletter editor. Mike Cahn, all the way from Ireland, has volunteered to serve as class Webmaster, beginning immediately. If you have any questions about the "job descriptions," you can contact Bill or any of the current officers. Also, on Saturday night of the reunion (June 16), there will be an open mike event held (the same as occurred at the Top of the Hop at our 10th reunion). The event at our 10th was a huge success, and many of our classmates showed wonderful talent, either singing, playing music, reading poetry, doing standup comedy, etc. If you'd like to share your artistic and performing talent please contact Rick Joyce' 85 at richard.a.joyce@ac.com or (609)497-9365.
