When alums return for
reunion, they bring with them
memories, stories, photos

California and returned with
the alumnus to Latin during
his 50th reunion in 2011. It's
glad to be home again, though
it doesn't recognize too many
familiar faces…

I was spirited away in a backpack, traveled
around the country for decades, and 50 years later,
found myself at a cocktail party in Germania Place."
