Greetings,
Another warm and sunny Alumni Weekend was celebrated on our beautiful campus in June.

Children discovered “mommy's college” and declared that the best part of the weekend was feeding the ducks. Young alums slept in until lunchtime, just in time for a bowl of cereal and some ultimate Frisbee on Founders Green. Other alums eagerly soaked up early morning sessions on biological research or pacifism and patriotism, happy to be reminded of the intellectual challenge Haverford always offers. Most importantly, connections (and reconnections) were made between friends. Mark your calendars now to join us next year: May 30- June 1, 2003. Classes ending in a 3 or an 8 will have official reunions, but there are always plenty of activities for anyone wanting to come back for some reminiscing. The quality of activities planned is directly proportional to the energy of volunteers, so please contact the Alumni Office if you would like to join a reunion planning committee.

Another highlight of the weekend was the annual Alumni Awards ceremony. Jim Foster ’50 and his awards committee carefully chose alumni whose accomplishments over the years were shared with a large audience in Marshall Auditorium (see p.7).

Perhaps the most touching moment of the ceremony was when Tom Glasser’s young son came to the stage to accept his father’s award. We were also honored to have Calvin Gooding’s sister as well as Doug Gardner’s parents make the trip to Haverford to accept awards for their loved ones. I think it is particularly Haverfordian to note how reciprocal a Haverford relationship is: the College influenced those men and their life choices, but just as importantly those men profoundly influenced the Haverford community through their active involvement.

On a personal note, I would like to say that it has been an honor to serve the College as President of the Alumni Association over the past two years. I now leave the Alumni Association in the capable hands of President Robert Eisinger ’87 and Vice President Jonathan LeBreton ’79. I once said to someone who asked me to volunteer for Haverford “I never say no to Haverford.” There are many alums who say the same thing and open their homes to social events, volunteer their time to mentor students, keep in touch with classmates, or attend college fairs at local high schools. Feel free to contact any member of the Alumni Association Executive Committee if you’d like to get involved. Staff in the Alumni Office (610-896-1004) will be happy to put you in touch with us.
