Reunion
Recap - September 13, 2003
Thanks
to all those that came...all 48 of
you (plus your guests!). We now have the record for having the highest
turnout of returning alumni for a reunion event at The Webb Schools.
11:00am - Registration
Took place at the Alamo Crossroads where we picked up our own personalized
name badges (senior class photos were on them) along with a Webb Reunion
T-shirt.
11:30am - Alumni
Chapel Program
Several Class of '53 member spoke of fellow classmates that have passed away.
At the end of the program, representatives from each of the classes read
out name of fellow classmates that have passed away. Sam Wray read Tim Kennedy's
name during this service.
12:30pm - BBQ
Lunch at Price Dining Hall
What can I say...Webb Food but Alumni Weekend Style. The dining room,
however, has gotten quite a face lift
1:00pm - Alumni/Student
Water Polo Game
This event was sponsored by the Class of 93 (thanks to Jon Kelber for
making it all happen). Our guys (Jon Kelber, Chris Harmon, Forrest Beanum,
Pat Kouwabunpat and Hank Cho)
played on a team against the current varsity team. It was quite a game and
brought back quite a few memories sitting by the pool. The varsity shouts
of "let's see what you got old man" died down quickly as our guys
played
a pretty good game with a final
score of 9-7.
1:30pm - Varsity
Football
Didn't really pay attention to this game...if anything, more Class of 93ers
got to reunite. Some kind of game was going on in the background but during
halftime, the new scoreboard and some new equipment was inaugurated. The
football field with the new track looked really nice. No more slippery gravel
for the track team!
4:00pm - Reunion
Reception (Poolside)
Among the appetizers and the drinks...the entire Class of 93 finally met
up. It was amazing to see so many people from our class all at once. (Throughout
the morning little groups had gotten together here and there depending upon when
people showed up on campus.)
4:30pm - Class
Picture
Flashbacks to our senior class picture...however, we weren't sure whether
to look over at our spouses/fiancees/significant others with cameras in hand
or the main photographer this time.
5:30pm - Slideshow (Science Lecture Hall)
Forrest and Jon managed to drag everyone away from the food and wine/beer
over to the Science Lecture Hall where Tina was ready to show
the 10 minute slideshow she had been working on. Everyone collected their
10 Year Reunion Mugs along with a copy of the Class of 93 Info Packet (aka
Your Info forms!!!). [See Downloads below]
6:30pm - Alunni
Vinter Wine-Tasting Reception (Chandler Field)
More time drinking and socializing as
7:30pm - Perry
Awards Dinner (Chandler Field)
There were so many of us, we had to scrambled to find tables for dinner and
ended up taking over other alumni tables! Javier (along with three
other faculty
members) received the Les Perry Award this
year. Needless to say, our class gave Javier the recognition he deserved
with all our clapping, screaming, and hooting. :) (According
to Javier, the other two recipients were a tad bit jealous.)
After dinner is
when our reunion really began with wine bottles and conversations flowing...the
rest, well, you just had to be there...but pictures speak volumes so check
them out.
