Where Everybody Knows Your Name
The weekend officially kicked off with a
dinner gathering at our old haunt – Cheers.
The slow trickle of arrivals made for an
intimate yet festive atmosphere in which
people slowly identified the many friendly
faces that have been perfected by Father
Time (why doesn’t anyone else look as they
did in 1993?). On balance, the group looked
healthy, vigorous, and excited to be back
in Concord. The crowd dispersed dutifully
before or at closing time, much as though
there was a check-in back at the dormi-
tory. Unlike at past reunions, this group
appeared determined to conserve its
energy for a full Saturday of activities.
Crack, Thud, Splash!
Saturday arrived without a cloud in the
sky, setting the stage for a perfect late-
spring SPS day. After the parade and a
bite to eat in the Matthews Hockey Center,
many opted for a swim at the boat docks
or a quiet stroll to reconnect with all the
places that made the SPS experience so
special.
As in past years, many of our peers rep-
resented the Form of ’93 with honor in
the Alumni Games. On the baseball dia-
mond, Chris Casey and Bill Pietragallo
each scored a run (not surprisingly, Billy
played all nine innings in loafers), leading
the alums to an impressive 3-3 tie with
the varsity squad. Meanwhile, down at
the lacrosse field, Jay Erickson, sporting
his 20-year old cleats, doled out his heavy-
handed defensive stylings to backstop
the Has-Been squad to a very respectable
draw against its youthful opponent.
Of course, all this was prelude to the
main event at the boat docks, where Helene
Lesterlin, Dana Remus, Josh Crosby,
James Jarrett, Matt Miller, and Ed Smith
led the 20th reunion boat to a stirring
upset of the 10th reunion crew. This
storyline quickly became the buzz across
campus – nay, across all of Merrimack
County – as our formmates denied rumors
of a Henley comeback tour.
Fore!
With some daylight remaining, buses
transported us to the Beaver Meadow
Golf Club for a relaxing evening of more
reconnecting with old friends. Jay Erick-
son’s early-90s mix – replete with the
terribly awesome C+C Music Factory –
inspired Beaver Meadow’s first-ever
patio dance party. Adults and kids alike
found themselves cutting a rug, er stone,
until the last bus came calling at 11 p.m.
Thanks to all who returned to Millville to
make this a special weekend. As often the
case at our reunions, the reminiscing
about past days led to making plans for
future get-togethers. I look forward to
seeing all of you, as well as those who
could not make it, in the coming years
and then again at our 25th reunion!
