Their house is one of the six remaining farm houses in Georgetown. It was constructed around 1800, as the White House was being completed - a historic home for a historic football outing. The Tigers shut down Georgetown 50-22 and roared away in triumph. A near perfect gridiron road trip: game, setting, and matchless hosting afterwards. It felt then like the start of something big... The class brought numbers - nearly 60 classmates spouses and friends- both to the game and then to the talk of the town afterwards. Seen (and rumored to have been seen) were: Badenoch, Cammerzell, Curtis, Dayton, DuBois, Duesterberg, Extein, Harrison, C. Hughes, G. Johnson, Kimball, Kohl, Maizels, J. Marshall, Merrified, McNealy, M. Morris, Newman, Olezewski, Ondrasik, Rankin, Rice, Rogers, Sethian, Smart, P.Unger, Walsh, and Woodward. Fritz's son, Henry, was way cool in the pool while son Freddy Cammerzell remained higher, drier, and wiser... Special thanks also to Class Scholar Connor Clegg '14 and Matt Strauser '14 for their attentive assistance at the reception. 41st Reunion: May 30 - June 1, 2013  May 2013 and reunions went out in a blaze of heat -- yet our 41st gathering had more than enough sizzle to dispel the notion that the year after a major has the dulled pulse of a hangover. There was plenty of '72 snap, crackle and pop to serve notice that we hang around, not over. On Friday night, Fritz Cammerzell graciously hosted our class dinner attended by Phil Caton, Pam Lloyd Coulter, Daryl English, Don Fletcher, Jim Graf, Randy Harris, Doug Harrison, John Hepburn, Jim Hinton, Charlie Hughes, Ruby Huttner, Brad Johnson, Art Kent, Charlie Kireker, Tad LaFountain, Paul Le Vine, Matt Mancuso, Mark Markiewicz, Elisa Marshall, Jim Marshall, Bruce Merrifield, Nikos Monoyios, Merc Morris, Bob Murley, Skip Rankin, Larry Sanford, Bob Saunders, Mike Schneider, Bill Sharpstone, Rob Smart, and Yaffa Ventura-Beck, who arrived from Israel for her first reunion. Class President Bob Wright welcomed everyone and presented Fritz Cammerzell with an orange apron embroidered Chez Cammerzell as a thank you for his gracious hospitality and service to the class at every reunion. As all found out, the Class of 1972 has a tent big enough for all. The tent got bigger. Joining the Friday night crawlers were Hank Bjorklund, Gene Brissie, Ralph Bulle, Steve Burns, Bob Daniels, Andy Dayton, Norman Flitt, Alfred Glossbrenner, Chris Godfrey, John Hardy, Jim Hart, Kip Hewitt, Dave Jones, Barbara Julius, Dave Kimball, Fred Kurz, Chris Loomis, Rod McNealy, Dennis Murphy, Tom Schrader, Bob Scully, John Sethian, Bob Tate, Tony Tichenor, Al Wen and Art Wood. Classmate of many hats, Ed Strauss earned another as he donned the colorful cap signifying his post as P-rade Marshal. He left early for cat herding rules and graciously marked our station on Cannon Green where only shade was in short supply. Gerry Drum, David Hingston, Cye Newman and John and Chris Van Horne swelled the sweltering ranks. We finished our passage along the P-rade at the reviewing stand with a final locomotive for outgoing President Tilghman and a welcome vintage cheer for incoming President Eisgruber. Sixty-six strong for '72 in 2013; not bad for number 41. Check out photos from Reunions, click on "Trips/Photos", then "Picasa Photos". If you have photos you can contribute, please send them to Doug Harrison at haphar@gmail.com and we will post them.
