ALUMNI NEWS D&E Alumni Celebrate Lifelong Friendships during the First Post-2020 Party!
The weekend of July 23-24 found 60-plus alumni and friends at the home of Charlie ’75 and Suzanne “Froggy” Hallock Hehn ’75 in Tom’s River, N.J, for a gathering they had begun planning in 2019. At that time, the plan was to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary the weekend of July 26, 2020, with D&E friends. The gathering was dubbed the “Stuart Park Revival,” as they remembered that as D&E students one of their favorite places to go was Stuart Park, just outside of Elkins. However, due to the pandemic the party was pushed to 2021. It was an amazing weekend filled with laughter, tons of food and great music as classmates, teammates, fraternity brothers and sorority sisters came together to renew friendships and remember the “little College on the Hill” where they became family for a lifetime. Those attending were Mark Barber ’75; Barbara Barosa ’77; Diane “Di” Birkbeck ’75; Pam Boyd ’78; Shirley Oorlog Childs ’78; Wendy Cunningham Morgan ’12; Conn ’75 and Debi Behm Davis ’76, and grandson, Christian; the late Pete ’75 and Jan Dougherty; Paul ’77 and Judy Towne Essex ’76; Susan and George Fahoury Jr. ’76; Dirk Finley ’76; Cindy Camp Garvin ’73; Scott Goddard ’96; Bill ’75 and Cindy Kretsinger Harrison ’76; Amy and Ken Hart ’77; Bob “Mouse” ’76 and Judy Gallagher Herman ’75; Connie Howe Hershelman ’74; Jamie and Tom Illmensee ’76; Jo Anne “Josie” Vaccaro Cerven ’78; Kathy and Steven “Mitch” Kendall ’76; Jennifer “Kay” Kirby Jeter ’78; Denise D’Annunzio Klockner ’78; Carolyn Camp Maddox ’75; Toni and Alan McCormick ’77; Susan “Ben” Bennett McGuire ’73; Anne McVey ’77; Sherri Phipps Murphy ’74; Sue Ososki Reich ’77; Michael and Cynthia “Rev” Reilly Scott ’74; Georgie Peiser Shireman ’74; Jay Silverman ’78; Kathy and David Skerbetz ’75; Kate and Christine “Chris” Smith ’73; Jim Walker Giacalone ’82 and Andrea Wilson ’75; Bob Weaner ’77; and Cindi May West ’75.
