Wickedly Wonderful Reunion Came This Way
 Despite the last-minute cancellation of writer Ray Bradbury, Reunion 2001 activities strove to live up to this year's Bradbury-inspired theme-Something Wicked (-ly Wonderful) This Way Comes. Alumni, seniors, families and friends enjoyed a full weekend of activities ranging from walking tours to boat trips on the Chester River.
The Life After Liberal Arts seminar highlighted the accomplishments of Kevin Noblet '75, a veteran journalist whose teams of international reporters won two Pulitzer Prizes for the Associated Press, and Tammy Tiehel Stedman '86, an Academy Award-winning film producer.
For many, the highlight of the weekend was settling into Tawes Theater to watch "My Mother Dreams the Satan's Disciples in New York," the acclaimed film Stedman produced. Viewers of all ages enjoyed the thrill of holding Stedman's Oscar, which she passed around the audience. "It's always a party favorite," she said.
Chill temperatures and the threat of rain forced the picnic and the dinner/dance into the Johnson Lifetime Fitness Center. Despite the change in venue, both events drew record crowds.
