The semester was winding down and so I headed off to Israel to work for their Council of Higher Education on the evaluation of all computer science departments in Israel. There were many meals on the plane over because it was a bit of an endless journey
I did have a chance to meet up with Napoleon in Jaffa one night.
On a side trip to Nazareth, I saw these not very welcoming signs. Back in Princeton, we met with Kate Norton, the new person in CFR
Reunions began and I met up with Rhoads Hollowell '83 as I was being inducted into their class as an honorary member. Back at home, I met Katie Wong '10 who had arrived with Dennis Zollo '10 and Dennis posed with Katie Camille and Claire Marine which amused Jane as Larry and Janet watched
On Friday, Cami and Scott arrived as did Ed and Sarah as Katie Camille and Jane sat for breakfast and Joey Cheeks awoke as did Claire Marine who showed off various sunglass options before presenting me with this elegant gift noting my new class association with its wonderful contents as Katie Camille enjoyed the Hubba Bubba which was denied to her as a child all of which seemed to amuse Larry and Janet. Claire Marine, Jane and Katie Camille then got ready to go visit campus as did Sarah and Ed and Janet was taking photos perhaps of Suzanne who was sitting on the steps. When we arrived on campus, we ran into Katie Camille who showed us her orange nails before we went to see Ben perform with his Lobster Improv group and I posed with Ben and Preston Kemeny '15. ON our way home, we stopped at Jeff's where we met Raymond Brusca '11 and Buddy Gardineer '11. before returning home to greet Spencer. On our way to see the Triangle Show we ran into Cathy Rampell and Chris Conlon. After the show, we explored the tents and took this wonderful family picture followed by this picture of Ed, Jane and Sarah as Suzanne practiced her camera skills perhaps recording Katie Camille and Ed on the dance floor or Ben and we have evidence that she captured Jane and Sarah.
Saturday morning these were the shoes at our door as I set off to my morning meeting. and then I greeted Chris Ed who posed with Scott Dennis and Katie Zach and Tracy Walsh '10 Charlie Sneath and Janet before Morgan and her mother arrived and Katie Camille appeared as Suzanne and her daughters thought about the day ahead and we admired the Tiggy cup which made its way into the sink as Jane, Morgan, Charlie, Zach and Katie Camille prepared to head off towards the P-Rade and did a step pose as Cami appeared and Janet took her disks before Cathy and Chris prepared to head off with Spencer close behind.
As we marched towards the P-Rade, we saw the attempt to set the Guinness record for people posing in tennis whites. We found a shady spot at the P-Rade as the class of 1988 led the parade along with our new president as the crowds assembled and Tiggy appeared with one of the class bands when Jane arrived with Shirley and Chris pennants and then Jane posed with Katherine and Morgan before the Old Guard arrived along with the class of 1935 including a golf car drinker and driver and then 1936 arrived also undefeated and then came 1937 with some more 1936 including a final golf cart of the 77th reunion class. 1938 appeared followed by 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 with the man in his 66th consecutive P-Rade 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 along with the tiger 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 with this missed photo then 1965 again 1966 with their tiger 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 and 1975 before we ran into Lizzie Harvey who posed with Sarah and as 1976 passed with the stilt people Silviu Pufu '07 and Physics appeared followed by 1977 and 1978 at which point we decided to walk down the path and ran into Kevin holding his sign and then Will Fisher. Either Will or the heat caused my camera to lose focus and with the exception of this 1981 photo I was out of commission for a while until a few photos of Claire Marine rescued me for the class of 1986 followed by 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 before Kelvin and Alexis appeared after which I met John Donovan '86 who provided cold beer and joined this photo in which he and I posed with Suzanne, Jeff and Kelvin after which Rachel George appeared followed by 2001 2002 and 2003 at which point I met with Governor Belcher whose cell phone was a bit out of time as Tiggy attracted gatherers and the empty beer containers were growing while Jane went over to pose with Michael Bachand among others while 2005 passed and in 2006 we saw Sarah and Ed before 2007 appeared followed by this blur and blurry 2009 and 2010 which then came into focus as first signs of 2013 appeared along with Tiggy and 2011 followed by 2012 and the rush with the tiger of 2013. Back at home, we ran into Patrick and Andre after which a representation of 1983 -- David Siegel and Zach, David Kriegman and John Gurian appeared before the crowds began to head for the fireworks led by Cathy and Chris, Ed and Scott and Cami. After the fireworks, I ran into Japie Karis and Sev from 1983 and Mahmoud Zabetian '88 before we went to see Neil Diamond or possibly someone who was impresonating him.
Sunday morning, there were more shoes and more signs as Morgan Ed Larry Cami Jane and Spencer Charlie and Janet appeared as people gathered around the pizza before we admired the collection of cups from the different classes before checkout began for Cathy Cathy and Chris Katie Scott and Cami Cathy and Chris Dennis Katie and Zach. Along the way, Peter took this photo of Ben and Suzanne in orange and black I was inducted into the class of 83 and I eluded White House security
