Griff is recently returned from a project in Egypt. Ted is remodeling an old farmhouse. Jim consults on public education. Retirement is actively discussed. We all have much living to do.
Final farewells match the warmth of first greetings while carrying a tinge of uncertainty.
Promises of future reunion are genuine, but the realism born of six decades and knowledge of friends not present because of illness or distress tempers our intentions. As we depart, we all share feelings Gus expressed in his carefully crafted Medallion acceptance speech. None of us would have become the people we are without Moravian College. At our 40 th Reunion, with faculties still intact, there is still opportunity to thank Moravian for all it has done for us. We can ponder that fact as we travel away from Bethlehem and savor the joy of a rainy weekend in the Lehigh Valley at the turn of the millenium.
