Reunions diffuse a nostalgia glow about college and the best years of our lives. There is an element of homecoming in every class reunion. There are also the people who keep the home-fires burning (for example, Bill Reed ’72, who enters the Fifty-Year Club this June after a professional career including 30+ years of service at the University). There are some 150 current UP employees who are also UP Alumni, which is more than the total membership of the first Alumni club (1908!). The University Museum and Archives offer a brief history of the alumni association with some photos in their most recent post on PortLog: https://sites.up.edu/museum/the-best-years-of-our-lives-revisit/
