Scott Belanger writes, “Funny how those old Greek life stories have remained perfectly etched in our minds but we’ve somehow forgotten the minor details of Prof. Leinster’s Western Civilization class. The group is looking to meet back up again in 2015 and the offer by John Hornyak to visit him in Key West looks extremely inviting.” From left to right; John “Yaks” Hornyak ’88, Mike “Corky” Flanagan ’89, Phil “Sal” Coco ’90, Tom “Cookie” Cook ’88, Jim Parsons ’91, Tom “Mac” MacDonald ’90, Jim “Tuna” Shauck, Paul “Bobby the Brain” Bransfield, Scott “Boy” Belanger. Missing from photo are Alan “Birdie” Burbank ’89 and Mik “Miko” Ojamaa ’88. Chris “McD” McDermott ’89 was in attendance electronically and Chelsea the Alpha dog was there spiritually.
