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

including a final golf cart of the 77th reunion class.

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

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.
