50th Reunion Reminisces, Medals, Awards

The 50 Reunion Dinner was held in the "W" Club
at the top of the new (2020) Wabash College Football Stadium.
Although a bit wet outside, the view of the Campus was great. 

The wrap up for the Big Bash Reunion Weekend for those celebrating 50 Years was our magnificent dinner at the "W" Club.

After the invocation by Pastor Mike Uhl '76, and a few words from College President, Scott Feller, the conversations filled the room with joy, stories, laughter, missing friends, and quiet nods.

A wonderful aspect of the dinner were the stories
and memories shared by each class member as
we reminisced about our Wabash Experiences
and the impact they had on our lives.

The Class of '76 presented six well-earned
citations of gratitude to six highly respected classmates. 
Sadly, Dick Sword, Class Agent for 50 years was still
recovering from a recent surgery and could not attend
in person.  Yet he did join us for a few minutes via
audio and spoke from Wyoming with his classmates.
