Reunions 2024

First year, Page Dorm, 1974

Third floor Page Dorm, 1974

Moving one foot in front of the other to make it to the coveted graduation. Lucky to have my Nursing School cohort in the sea of Schools graduating!

I attended the college then the School of Nursing, class of 1974. It was like straddling two worlds – the college where women were making their way depending in large part on each other for guidance (the male ego was all over the place and unpredictable – lover or hater) and McKim Hall/McLeod Hall where women were the majority but a “class system” existed none the less (diploma and BSN RNs). We learned the traditions and, in so learning, were prepared for the work world of the hospital. Pinning was as important as graduating.

Delighted to celebrate Reunions Weekend at UVA in Charlottesville!!! Let the celebration begin!!!

During my undergraduate tenure at UVA from September 1970 through May 1974, large Afro hair styles were the classic norm for most African American students. I did not get a major hair cut during my entire undergraduate years at UVA. Due to my Afro, I and other African Americans students in the Pep Band during that area who proudly sported their Afros were exempted from having to wear the traditional Pep Band straw hat during Pet Band performances at sporting events. Fifty years later, I am often still referred to as “That guy with the big Afro.”

Roommates from Lambeth but in different sororities (or not at all) we called ourselves (and still do) Tri-Lam.

In hindsight, Mid-summers atmosphere was like practice for our reunion weekends to come!

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.

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!
