The windows of one of the suites in 122 Maupin, which housed first-year women in the Class of 1974. We had fun with “Day-Glo” paint and never had to remember the building number when giving directions. “Just look for the windows!”

I was a drama major and we had classes, rehearsals and performances in Minor Hall for my first three years. In my senior year, we moved over to the brand new Culbreth Theatre and the smaller black box theatre, the Helms.

When I was accepted to UVA in December 1990, my dad ordered a personalized license plate to celebrate the Class of 1995 before I had even stepped foot into LeFevre dorm for first year. After finding my car missing the prized plate more than once during my four years on Grounds, I had an extra for display. It seemed only fitting to wear the plate on gravitation day for the final walk down the Lawn. My car still bears the 1995 brand, and I often hear a honk and “Wahoowa” from fellow drivers.

What a great day, walking down the lawn with your sorority sisters! We had all been through a lot together, and this was another memory to cherish!

One of the proudest moments—graduation day on The Lawn

43 years apart my son walks the lawn graduating from McIntire as I did in 1980 from the College. Ninth in the family at UVA.

And, no, the NROTC look did not really blend in with the University crowd in 1971. Cover was just on for photo.

True connection and bonds of friendship survive the passage of time. This is why we will continue returning to UVA Black Alumni Weekend.
