We are
pleased to report that Reunion 2008 was the best
Reunion
yet with a record number of alumni in attendance.
Below is a description of each event.
The second annual Reunion Lovefeast was a success.
Mr. Theodore A. Rosenberger was honored as a Distinguished
Alumnus for his leadership in the technology business and for his
philanthropic philosophy. Ted
gave the meditation and talked about how we should give gratitude
to everyone deserving because it makes a difference.
Both alumni and students were present.
Other alumni participants were
Chad Decker
‘92, President of the Alumni Association presented Ted with his
Distinguished Alumnus plaque, Freddy Vasta ‘99, Vice President
of the Alumni Association, Zac Cohen ’95 Secretary of the Alumni
Association and Jane Beckel Bannan ‘42.
It was a
perfect fall afternoon for the Alumni Golf Outing.
Foursomes teed off at Northampton Country Club enjoying an
afternoon of fun. Golfers
either put together their own groups or let us take care of it for
them. Golfers enjoyed
a buffet lunch on the terrace before teeing off.
Back by popular demand, the Starters Riverport Cocktail
Party was a huge success with over 170 alumni attending.
Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were enjoyed by alumni from
the classes of 2004 back to 1948.
The feeling of reconnecting was electric as alums met up
with classmates they and not seen for years!
Headmaster George N. King, Jr. and Charliese King joined
the fun and welcomed alumni.
Saturday’s events kicked off with The First Annual
Family 5K Fun Run/Walk For the Trees on the Merle-Smith Campus.
Over 150 alumni, students, parents, past parents and
faculty showed up in the rain to participate.

Project which includes landscaping the Chrin Complex Fields.

the short program, the over 150 alumni and guests enjoyed lunch
together while the
Upper
School
vocal group, Coda Red, sang the three alma maters and entertained
with a few other songs.
After lunch, the second annual alumni field hockey
game took place on the Upper Fields.
Spectators watched as former
Moravian
Academy
field hockey players drove and dribbled the ball down the field.

game.

Green Pond in two locations. The classes of 1958 and earlier
dined in the Snyder House Conference Room, hosted by Headmaster
