God, can it really be 35 years since I graduated from WPI? Apparently so, and to celebrate our collective shock a crowd gathered in Worcester for a fabulous reunion. I hadn’t been back for these things since the late Disco years, so it was great to see the new versions of some old familiar faces. We all skipped the formal reunion activities and made our own fun with just the members of Sigma Pi Fraternity.
After a few hours of chat, we walked down to the house at 17 Dean Street which is still boarded up after a fire last year. The active brothers opened it up for us so that we could poke through the rubble and revisit the scene of our Nixon-era crimes and triumphs. After that, a meal at The Boynton, drinks and ear damage at Leitrim’s Pub, and dessert at Cafe Dolce.
June and I were only there for essentially one day, but I’m so glad we went. I don’t think we’ll wait another 35 years to do it again.
