UNC 50th Reunion of Class of 1959 Galleries

2009.05.07-11 UNC 50th Reunion for Don-Intro : UNC Graduation and Reunion weekend. Don had his (50th) class reunion. There was not a free minute anywhere to be had and I have never seen anything so well-coordinated and easy to maneuver. Buses to everywhere and at all times of day. We stayed in Granville Towers which is a high-grade dormitory. We had basically towels, sheets, a blanket and a pillow per bed provided. No tv. Towels weren't much to brag about. We never did figure out how to get connected to the internet on his Apple. But we didn't need the room much so it didn't matter. It was such a fun weekend. Go to individual days in other Galleries.

2009.05.07 Thursday UNC 50th Reunion : Thursday was check-in with no planned activities. We got there around 6-ish I believe and went to Franklin Street to look around. There was basically a drug store and a few restaurants open. The stores close down at 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. Unbelievable. I wanted to go in Johnny T-Shirt

2009.05.08 Friday UNC 50th Reunion : Early Friday Morning after a healthy breakfast, we went to the Shrunken Head where Linda said she racked up on new Carolina merchandise - a really pretty UNC bracelet , a mug with an Old Well picture, a tasteful throw with UNC on it, and a bunch of post cards. It soothed my Carolina soul and it is my spending fix for a while for Carolina items. I could have found more but time was limited and so was money. The lady who runs the store said she had been in business for 45 years and on a football weekend, they get 20,000+ customers . . . (See Belwo)

2009.05.09 Saturday UNC 50th Reunion : Saturday, we had a 7:30 a.m. breakfast where you could just go through a buffet and get all you wanted. We again visited with former classmates of Don's. Then Don and I went to find a Thomas Wolfe memorial (with an angel sculpture that is hardly recognizable as an angel) near Greenlaw Hall (Greenlaw was Wolfe's favorite professor at UNC in the 1920s.) In the Wolfe seminar the day before, Professor Flora said . . . (See Below)

2009.05.10 Sunday UNC 50th Reunion : Sunday, the 50 year ago alumni were to march in borrowed robes across the football field at graduation. We had to be at the old Kenan Field House by 8:30 and they were to march around 9 a.m. We made it there and talked with Don's classmates for a long time until the guests (me and others with the classmates of 1959) had to go sit in a reserved area to watch them march. Thank goodness, the weather was a little overcast and cool, better for me than hot and sunny or rainy. The 1959 classmates marched as a group across . . (See Below)
