REUNIONS
This page provides information regarding Class Reunions, recent and future. Apologies for whatever blur or fuzzy lies below. Multiple copying/reformatting is the culprit or gremlin for our older eyes. Complaints can be addressed to anybody that will listen, maybe even me!!
REUNION 68-70
Reunion 68-70 was held in Annapolis on 6-8 May 2025. The turnout was something just under 100 including Classmates, Wives, Girlfriends, Children, and various other Hanger-Ons. The Memorial Service and the Supe’s Talk were videographed and links to those videos will be published on this page as soon as they are known. All reports that came the way of your Webmaster were highly indicative of a glorious gathering. Big BZ to Dan Cooper and Peter Junghans for all the work they put in to make the arrangements for a successful Reunion. If this be the last it appears that we made the most of it!!
Here is the photo of the group taken on the steps of the Chapel. What a handsome and beautiful group of people!! Compare the group size to the previous group at the 65th!
Arrangements were made with Matt Buerhaus (Our Class Videographer??) to record the Memorial Service and the Supe’s Talk. Those videos and the Class Photos are now available on line. Next below is Matt’s email explaining the process for viewing and downloading.
Hi Charlie,
The videos from the reunion are completed! I uploaded them over the weekend to the share site, here:
https://editinglife.smugmug.com/Class-of-57-2025
That is going to be the best link to share with folks who want to view the videos.
If you or anyone would like to download them and save them for archive purposes, that can be done at the following link:

You will need at least 30GB of free space on your computer and a high speed internet connection (100mbps + download speed). If you have a Dropbox account and are logged-in, but not enough space in your account to save the files, logout and try the download again to save the files directly to your computer.
If you need more detailed instructions on how to download the files, or to create USB media, visit this page on our website.
Share this email with anyone you’d like to also download these videos.
Let me know if you have any questions!

65th REUNION MEMORIAL SERVICE
The Reunion Memorial Service was held on Wednesday morning at the Chapel (whose dome shines like a Plebe’s spit-shined shoe). We arranged to have that Service filmed by a professional and that worked well. Here is a link to a Youtube channel for viewing the Service:

65th REUNION MEMORIAL SERVICE

The professional (Name on Request!!) who did the filming cleaned up the sound track by reducing the reverberations that the Chapel produces due to the stone walls and tall ceilings. The resulting sound track is easily understood but Closed Caption is available by clicking on the “CC” button at the bottom of the window. The film runs about 45 minutes.
Your WebMeister has copies that can be downloaded for both Mac (.MOV) and PC (.MP4). Those files are HUGE but there is a way to pass them to Classmates that might desire same. Please email me and I’ll arrange to transmit the files.
