tags will have larger print this reunion so you can actually see the names; no, you do not need to RSVP to the dive bar on Friday night and no, you don’t need waterproof shoes; yes, there is a rain plan for the tent, and I think there will be heaters on site; and yes, the caterers will still be students who remember ‘college pours’! • Closing with one individual update, as he posted on all forms of BC’89 media, being so sad to miss the reunion: Anthony Boomer Dell (boomerdell@gmail.com), capturing what I think was a shared sentiment heard all weekend, wrote in to say how much he loves hearing how people are doing, what they are up to, and generally staying connected with the community of friends and family from BC’89. I’ll include more details from him—and more individual updates—next quarter! Congrats to all on a great weekend!
