TOP ROW: (All 3 photos were taken by Hank Bates). LEFT: '44 Honorary Member Ted Thoren who is never caught without a smile and who adds much to every party he attends!

     RIGHT: Ithacan Jeanne Thoren, a co-Honorary Member of '44, chats with Phyllis Evans from Bethesda. MD,

     MIDDLE ROW LEFT: (Both photos by Hank Bates). New Canaan, CT residents Marion and Howy Blose enjoy the Friday Mix and Mingle (Stripping the predominant red hue from Hank's photo turned it into a black and white snapshot).
     RIGHT: "Bottoms up!" Merril and Mitzi Zahler Sands, two enthusiastic Ohioans, enjoy the pre-Banquet reception held at the Statler Hotel.

     BOTTOM ROW: (Both photos by Andy Capi's camcorder). LEFT: Part-time Floridians Hank Bates (Key Largo) and Jim Clark (Palm Beach) discuss Florida voting machines in a very un-Reunion like serious conversation.
     RIGHT: Wearing matching yellow, Nancy and Bud Rundell of Sterling, VA, sartorially offset many of the traditional red "horse blanket" blazers worn by their classmates.
