1984
Durann Williams Archer durann.williams@gmail.com This year our class officially hits the half-century mark, and we all seem to be staying busy and active. Jennifer Ching Creger is one of our class’s biggest UNC fans, especially in the New Orleans area. She returned to Chapel Hill to cheer the Tar Heels on from the Dean Dome and was pictured in the local paper. Chris Verwoerdt writes that he and his wife are preparing for their twin boys’ high school graduation in June. The boys plan to attend UNC-CH this fall. Pat Biggs Porcelli was inducted into the DA Athletic Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held at DA and Sarah Warner Burdick, Serena Russoli Hutcheson, Becky Henegar Gould and myself from our class were able to join her for the celebration. Alex Gourley, son of Heather Griffin Gourley, recently signed to play football at Duke and she is trying to learn the Duke fight song after being raised a Tar Heel. As a reminder, our class has a Facebook page — Durham Academy 1984(ish) — that provides an ongoing connection for us all.
