Reunion 2011
Thanks to those attending in the NYSCAA 2011 regional reunion in Minneapolis. No one fell off the Guthrie balcony, Packers’ fan Michael Stark (MO 1984) was not evicted from the Metrodome as anticipated, and we found that even substandard bottle openers will work when you are desperate. We enjoyed gathering our local alumni to show off their beautiful city and seeing old friends and new from all over the country. The annual meeting was enhanced by brain-stimulating lectures from Steve Blasberg (CA 1968) and Dave Hackleman (OR 1969) and a rather stunning report on the current state of the NYSF endeavors from their executive director Andy Blackwood. Have you checked lately on what all they have accomplished? We had a great time biking, boating, touring and talking. Oh, and then there was all the eating: Hell’s Kitchen, Spoonriver, Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit... Yum. Thanks to Kirby Lee (IN 1993) for leading the charge! We are busily planning our 2012 reunion in the South and anticipate a huge turnout at the 50th in West Virginia. More news on that topic coming soon.
