Reunion Recap!

There's no doubt that everyone who attended had a great time. Many thanks to the folks who worked so hard to make it a rousing success. We missed all that couldn't make it, but there's lots of pictures here to give you some idea of what it was like. Click "Slide Show", then click on the Main Menu button, then choose "40thReunion" and"SaturdayNight". Clicking on any of the pictures will start the slide show at that point, or you can navaigate through the pages of pictures.

A Poem From Larry

I received the following poem from Mark Persall, who wrote: "Jim Swofford brought me a copy of this poem which was hand-written by Larry Sparks and sent to him in 1995. I wanted to share it with those who cared about Larry and appreciated his kindness and intellect."

I had not known that Larry Sparks was a poet, but indeed he was, and a fine one. It seems very appropriate to share his writing with the class as a whole.

Welcome to Paradise Found, my friend
Where life and love still abound, my friend.
Where we cultivate the very best part
And carefully store within the heart
The choicest fruit of the human crop
Emotion wild and free.

Let us know the one behind the name.
Are the two of us quite the same?
Is life what you want it to be?
They’ve tempted me from time to time.
Come join the world, leave yours behind.
But within the recess of the mind,
The idylls of Paradise Found, I find
A wealth that others may never know.
My arms are open wide.

Larry Sparks, 1982
"...and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
