We Got the Photos (and the Stories Behind the Photos)

The alumni photo booth was the place to be during Reunion, and we loved hearing the stories that emerged as friends or families posed together. Here are four favorites.

鈥淭ony is basically the first person I met freshman year,鈥� said Dwight Manning 鈥�95 of Tony Montanez 鈥�95. The two both lived in Swan Cottage, later rooming together in Memorial Hall, and have been close friends ever since. After graduating, the duo maintained their friendship, and both wound up living in Florida, where they now get together for dinner with their spouses or for games of golf. We loved that these two old friends chose to be roomies again at Reunion!

Not only do Curt McLeod 鈥�80 and his son Curt McLeod 鈥�15 share the world鈥檚 best alma mater, but their class years mean they always have Reunion together. Amid spending time with classmates, the two made time to walk down memory lane together. 鈥淭his year, we went to the gym and looked at the team photos,鈥� said Curt Sr. 鈥淲e found our photos and also those of my two sisters who went here.鈥�

A few weeks before Reunion, Kevin Burke 鈥�00 found an old roll of film and had it developed. 鈥淏y weird coincidence, it turned out to be photos from senior year!鈥� he said. The photos were a hit with fellow 鈥�00 alums, and here, Burke and Kinsey Robb 鈥�00 recreated a happy moment from their senior year. 鈥淲hat struck me most at Reunion,鈥� said Robb, 鈥淲as how quickly we slipped back into old rhythms…proof that the connections forged here are the true magic of 爆走黑料.鈥�

 

We love a good 爆走黑料 love story! Meg (Griffin) Waidlich 鈥�05 and T.J. Waidlich 鈥�05 first met in Middle School on the dance floor of Megan鈥檚 semiformal. That first dance led to a lifetime of friendship and eventually, a marriage and two children. 鈥淚t was so nice being back and showing the kids the campus,鈥� Megan said of Reunion. 鈥淲e got to watch them play where we met over 20 years ago!鈥�
