“It wouldn’t feel like a true Keene experience without some rain!” one alumna stated during Reunion 2012, which occurred June 1–3. And the weekend saw plenty of rain. Spirits undaunted, attendees still enjoyed their weekend visiting with classmates and fellow alumni.

The Class of 1962 was inducted into the Golden Circle as they celebrated their 50th class reunion. Other classes participated in their own class reunions, including the class of 1987, who brought their 25th reunion celebration banner to all events around campus!

Starting the weekend was the welcome back social at Centennial Hall, where Mark Polifrone ’83 performed on the piano, followed by Zach Benton & the Pace (featuring Zach Benton ’11, Ian Galipeau ’10, Samuel Vendt ’11, and Jon Braught). The next morning, alums gathered with their classes, held meetings, and took and posed for photographs. Because of the rain, the traditional Parade of Classes did not march down Appian Way, but instead paraded through the Student Center and across to the Zorn Dining hall to the big Reunion luncheon.

The fun continued throughout the afternoon and evening. David Westover ’72 provided ice cream and toppings from Walpole Creamery for the Ice Cream Social. Saturday evening, everyone gathered in the Mabel Brown Room for a new program, Dueling Pianos. A group of pianists took requests from the audience and performed music from all decades. Their music inspired several alums to get up and dance along!

Of course, we took lots of pictures! Look for yourself and your friends among all the pix posted on the Keene State College Alumni Facebook page and on KSC’s SmugMug page.
