Congratulations as you celebrate your "Virtual 50th Anniversary"
What I didn't know about your class up till this time, I will share with others...
In the wake of the shootings and death of 4 students at Kent State 50 years ago, students across the country "went on strike". Fearing violence, many colleges closed their doors early and sent students home. PC did the same. On account of this, PC's Class of 1970 NEVER COMPLETED THEIR FINAL YEAR!
Rather, the seniors returned to campus some 6-weeks later and convened in the Grotto for graduation ceremonies. In many ways, this is reflective of how the final semester closed out for this year's seniors.

Classes were cancelled but most remained on campus to take part in the protests and finish out the year. We were fortunate enough to have senior week and graduation. I believe you could task your exams if you wanted to improve your grades or you could take the grade you had earned up to the time classes were cancelled.

He was great. I also believe AB would have also thought the world of you like many on Friartown do.

How I love that elegant glass that we have here in the homestead.
Who in the posse will ever forget the night at The Dunk when "Johnny" and Bobby V brought from Upstate NY a full size cardboard Image of The Most Interesting Man In The World that "Johnny" lifted from his liquor store. They plopped it in my seat folded once and sitting up. freaking hilarious...
now who does that ? A true Friar does that and a fellow Class of '70 Friar Brother. When they say once a Friar and you are one for life, they mean it.
Friar 82 ain't no class of '70 guy but he's a Friar Brother and with his family have grown close to Dex the past few years. I hope to call him neighbor someday soon. He understood early the value of being close to The Most Interesting Man In The World.. Love is in the air Friar Brothers

Major coup by Johnny, lifting that sign from a liquor store in Upstate, getting through Dunk Security and over to your seat without a hiccup.

The closest I have ever gotten to the CIA was the Culinary Institute of America.
