Class of ’68 Hosts Reunion in Washington, D.C.

"Talk about fun times – the 38 alumni and friends who gathered at the Ecolint ’08 reunion dinner in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 11 enjoyed fine food, drink and each other under the unfurled flags of Switzerland and Geneva.  Most were from the 40^th anniversary class of 1968 but the ’64, ’67, ’69, ’70, 72, ’73, 74, 79 and ’93 class years were also represented. Guests traveled from Switzerland, England, Texas, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, Connecticut, Hawaii and New York to join others from the Washington, D.C. area for the festivities.

Thanks to Bob Lewis ’68, videos of the 1968 graduation procession and ceremony, a trip on the number 12 tram and a visit to the campus along with a slide show of the 1968 yearbook and photos contributed by attendees played through the evening. Hastily arranged lunches, brunches and dinners filled out the weekend.

Hats off and thanks for the new memories to everyone who showed up.

Next stops: Escalade in Washington, D.C. and New York and the 2009 Geneva Reunion Mondiale.”
