| 45th Year Class Reunion - October 7th & 8th, 2016 |
| (This section was last updated October 28, 2016.) |
|
Well, our 45th Year Class Reunion has come and gone. We owe a big thank-you to Jamie H. for organizing this reunion as he has done many times before.
The 45th reunion kicked off with he homecoming football game versus McCaskey Friday evening October 7th. Results: Warwick 35, McCaskey 7.
The get-together Friday night at the Waterfront was well attended and fun for all. Much thanks to Bill P. for coordinating this event.
The happy hour and dinner at the Marriott Penn Square was the highlight of the weekend, and was enjoyed by all who attended. Same as for past reunions, Jamie has assembled a reunion souvenir book. Several printed books were sold at the reunion events, but some might still be available for $15 per copy, which includes postage. The book will also be available in pdf format via email for no charge. To request a copy, send a message directly to Jamie, or send a message to Reunion Organizer. Please specify if you want a printed version or the pdf version. Make sure you include the email address that you want us to respond to. |
| 50th Year Class Reunion - 2021 |
| (This section was last updated October 28, 2016.) |
|
The next reunion, our 50th, is coming in 2021. Keep in mind that Jamie's primary means of contact is via email, and he will need your valid email address
as we approach the next reunion. If your email address changes during the next few years, please remember to notify Jamie by June 2021.
If you don't have Jamie's email address, please send a message to
Reunion Organizer
so Jamie gets your current email address. Note: There are no links on this web site to Jamie's personal email address; you must send messages to anonymous
Reunion Organizer and they will be forwarded to Jamie.
