Lillian Carneglia Affleck writes: “The 75th reunion might be ‘the last hoorah’ but it was one of the best! Unfortunately, several classmates had to bow out at the last minute, leaving three stalwart women (no men) to experience time honored memories. Isabel Howard Alexander arrived from Oklahoma with her entire three generation family. Hope Richards Brothers was accompanied by her daughter-in-law, and I attended with most of my family from near and far. The University is to be commended for planning both informative and elegant venues long to be remembered. Friday and Saturday dinners at the Hope Club were exceptional. Hors d’oeuvres were followed by gourmet dinners that deserve a five-star rating. The luncheon at the University Club on Saturday was just as superior. We took a moment to remember and toast our living and deceased classmates. The 75th joined the 65th and 60th reunion classes to celebrate together at all events and the spirit and jovial camaraderie filled the air. The highlight of the weekend was the commencement procession. Isabel and I were honored to be marshals for the Class of ’44. No other university can match the spirit, pageantry, and emotion of marching down College Hill to the applause and adulation of the alumni, especially the seniors. Tears, cheers, and high fives were shared. We felt like rock stars! After the commencement march, Izzy and I rewarded ourselves and treated our families to a delicious luncheon at the Faculty Club—the Grand Finale!”
