SHP Class of "61" 50th Reunion History

 

Reunion History:

25 Years. In 1986, with Tom Powell as the reunion chairman, we staged our 1st reunion at a North Jersey Hotel. We had a terrific turnout and the entire class owes Tom a debt of gratitude for his initiative and leadership. For pics of the event, click here: 1986 Reunion.

30 Years. In 1991, we reunited for a weekend getaway in the Poconos at the Mountain Laurel Resort. Fr. Joe Sherer was our guest of honor and fellow grad and Maryknoller Ken Moody celebrated Mass. Departing from a more traditional format of a 1 nite affair, the extra time was devoted to strengthening our Prep bond of 35 years. Both Joe Fabricatore and Jeff Gausepohl jetted in from the West Coast. The turnout was small yet the rewards were huge.

35 Years. In 1996, the Prep took the reigns and hosted, at the SHU Student Union Bldg., a reunion for all classes that ended in 1. The turnout for our class was limited but the affair was nicely done by the Prep Alumni office. For a pic of the event, click here: 1996 Reunion.

50 Years. In 2011, on the weekend of June 3-5, the "61" reunion committee in concert with the Prep Alumni Office, conducted a memorable golden anniversary class reunion. Building upon our past reunions, the class of "61" refreshed those great memories, renewed old friendships, and strengthened the lifelong bonds with fellow classmates. It was truly an inspiring and memorable weekend capped with our 50th anniversary graduation ceremony.
