It was the day of the P-Rade and so Eve, Jon, Jamie, Sarah, Rik and Suzanne posed in suitable orange
as I also recorded the flowers
bananas
and plants
before Jon, Sarah and Jamie returned from Joe Canal's so that they were stocked
and we could make our way to arrive in the middle of the class of 1985
with the Old Guard soon to appear
led by the class of 1925
and the man with the silver cane which you get if you are 104 and there is no one older here.
Next came the classes of 1930
1934
1935
for their 75th reunion
|
1936
1937
who were aged to perfection
followed by 1938
1939
and 1940 back for their 70th reunion
followed by 1941
1942
1943
1944
and 1945
after which I noted the collection of empty beer containers
and began to photograph people and not reunion classes starting with Genia Dubrovsky and Jeff
and then Genia Dubrovsky, Jeff and !!
and Sarah Unger '08 and Jeff
and Jeff hugging an unknown person
Next, I saw Rachel George, Jane, Morgan, and Genia Dubrovsky
who were joined by Ryan Morrill for this photo
and then Jonathan Newman and Raleigh Allison appeared
followed by Emily and Morgan
and Jane and Ed
who were then joined by Suzanne
as the P-Rade continued with interesting structures
and Alex Dahlen opened beer bottles without twist off tops
much to the amusement of Eve and Sarah
as Jane posed with Suzanne
and Ellen Charles appeared to pose with Jeff
followed by Blaise Latella '08 and Jeff
and Hayley Crowell '08
before Sarah, Jeff and Ellen Charles posed
as Jeff worked the crowd
we admired the beer selections
and Jeff posed with Jenny Monson '11
and then the group of Ingmar Saberi '11, Jeff, Nick Diberardino '11, Jenny Monson '11 and an unknown person posed
before I ran into Will Fisher
and Halcyon Person and Zach Zimmerman
who were joined by Steve Marcus
before John Nelson '10 appeared
before Jane made her way into the crowd
and posed with Cailtin Alev '10
leaving me to capture Caitlin's parents
before we returned to the P-Rade and started recording the class of 2000
and then on to the class of 2005
|
after which James Lanzi of Public Safety appeared
and I returned to the class of 2006
waiting for Sarah, Ed, Eve et al to appear
as the class gave way
to 2007
accompanied by a shirtless Jeff
who helped escort 2008 into view along with Sandie Bermann
as the class of 2008 continued
|
even as class of 2000 beachballs were a big hit
and suddenly 2009 was upon us
|
where Sandie Bermann had a special interest
but it wasn't in the tiger who appeared
but rather in the procession
from which 2010 emerged
|
until we made our way to the fields
and I had a somewhat unusual conversation with this gentlemen whose name might be Ian and who might belong to the class of 2012
after which Suzanne found Jane
and Jane, Eric Domb, and Morgan posed
only to be joined by Charlie '09
and then Emily and Jayne Choi '10 posed
followed by Charlie, Jane, Eric and Morgan
who then were joined by Emily and Jayne
before Jane, Patrick Daurio, Jayne Choi and Emily posed
and were joined by Charlie
as parents continued to click away on cameras
ignoring the words of Eric Domb
but allowing for a complete picture of Morgan's family
before I captured Katie Camille and her parents and Aunt
as Jimmy Joy appeared and joined many of the principals from above in a round of photos
|
followed by pictures of Julie Dickerson, Jake Dale, Zach Balin and Michael Chou, the class officers for the next 5 years
and then Jane and Lauren Wong '09
before we admired the changing Times of 7x5 = 35 and called it a P-Rade experience.
Next we went to the Fisher-Stix reception and my first photo was of Will, Jane and Bartholt Clagett
after which I posed with Jane and Will
and Jane posed with 3 generations of Stix
before Jane and Will acted as though they were Ryan's parents' children
and George posed with his friend from England.
The whole group of graduates posed -- George, Jane, Pat, Emily, Will, Lindsay Gorman, Daniel Appel, Bertholt, Rachel, Dov, Ryan and Andrei Ungureau
for photos taken by the parents present.
After the party broke up, we went to reunions and visited a tent where Suzanne posed with Seva and Peter
and then this person who knew Jane from the music library posed with Peter and Suzanne before we called it a night.
