Day 3, and last day, of our reunion took place on the very date — June 3 — on which we graduated from BC 50 years earlier. Good timing. :)
The schedule for Sunday was light. A “Reunion Jazz Brunch” began at 9 am in the University Conference Center, the building on the Brighton Campus that also includes the McMullen Museum of Art and had been the residence of Boston’s archbishops. Newton alumnae attended Mass in Trinity Chapel on the Newton Campus at 10, followed by a “Garden Party Brunch” on the Stuart/Barat Lawn. Classmates also could have attended an “Agape Latte Grande” at the Cadigan Alumni Center, where they would have joined Karen Kelly Kiefer ’82, associate director, Church in the 21st Century Center, in conversation over coffee about the intersection of faith and everyday life.
I, on the other hand, was on the road. My older daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters picked me up early morning to go south for a visit to my sister and her husband at their home in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. Hence no video from these reunion events.
But there are some pictures from the brunch. The original setup was outside, but I’ve been told there was light rain and many went inside. Here’s a gallery.
I don’t know about you, but overall I didn’t have enough time to spend with enough people. Maybe there would never have been “enough time” in practical terms. I saw old friends and met new ones, which was a pretty good result. I hope you had a similar experience and that those connections continue. Can this blog and the Facebook group page help do that? Please share suggestions you have in how they might.
Go Golden Eagles!
