I was talking to my grandmother, Thelma Farley, who graduated from a college in Buffalo, N. Y., about her 50-year college reunion. She was the valedictorian of her class and when she traveled back to New York for this event, she was asked to make a speech.
My grandma told me that she was excited but also a little nervous because it had been so long since she had seen most of the people she went to school with.
NDNU alumni will have a similar opportunity to relive their time as college students and to revisit the institution that helped make them the people they are today.
NDNU will hold its annual Alumni and Family Weekend on Sept. 29 through Oct. 2.
This four-day event, which will be dedicated to the class of 1966, will give alumni a chance to participate and mingle with old friends as well as make new ones.
Among the members of the class attending will be Theresa Marion, the class president of '66, who received her BA in music. She is currently working with volunteers in the local chapter of the Christ Child Society that serves Catholic elementary schools.
Some of the planned activities include Jazz Night in Ralston Hall, breakfast with President John Oblak, and a reunion lunch.
On Saturday morning, faculty members Shirley Morrison and Don Stannard-Friel and Sr. Roseanne Murphy will speak at Tabard Inn.
Campus tours will be provided along with a lecture on "Lessons for Life"- money management for college students, Cuvilly 1 "Ten Proven Strategies"
Attendees also have been invited to take part in the Twin Pines Art and Wine Festival which will be going on across Ralston Avenue.
Sunday, Oct. 1, will be Celebrate Sr. Veronica Skillin Day to honor the former president of the College of Notre Dame.,
The weekend will be topped off with a golf event at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Millbrae.
