lumni return to St. Paul’s to renew old
friendships and reconnectwith the School.
Flanked by 2003 formmates Ben Cooley and Quentin
Reeve, Jordan Katz expressed in simple terms exactly
how he feels when he returns to campus.
“I just miss it, mostly,” said Katz, now 28, married,

“We were also on the cross country course this morn-

form was not in a reunion year, Fuller, a student at Bates
College, noted that he stays in close contact with many
of his SPS friends, whether through social media or other
electronic communication or face-to-face. As Lou Hen-
riques lamented the loss of seeing his friends daily, he was
buoyed both by his brother’s maintenance of close con-
nections and by witnessing the camaraderie among other
alumni as they greeted one another outside the Chapel.
