Class of 1964 Fiftieth Reunion May 16–18, 2014 “One of the highlights for me was seeing my old economics classmate, Richard Vangermeersch, who went on to be a prominent professor of accounting in the College of Business.

Another nostalgic event was trying to find Iggy’s bar (down the line); although I didn’t succeed, I relished the chance to search and revisit my old stomping grounds!” —Ray Acciardo ’64
