25 at Pub and Kitchen for their 10year reunion. Donning their “EA 10th Reunion” buttons with pride, classmates reconnected over light refreshments and classy beverages. We were excited to catch up with old friends, retell our best high school stories, and meet new spouses, friends, and significant others. Members of the class are producing their own documentary films, working at tech start-ups, getting various advanced degrees, auctioning artwork at Sotheby’s, starting coffee shops, running their own non-profits, teaching high school, and supporting our Vice President Joe Biden—to share a few current callings amongst many. It was great to reconnect with everyone and have an excuse to form an “official” Facebook group. Thanks to all who could make it out to the reunion!
