The alumni photo booth was the place to be during Reunion, and we loved hearing the stories that emerged as friends or families posed together. Here are four favorites.

“Tony is basically the first person I met freshman year,” said Dwight Manning ’95 of Tony Montanez ’95. The two both lived in Swan Cottage, later rooming together in Memorial Hall, and have been close friends ever since. After graduating, the duo maintained their friendship, and both wound up living in Florida, where they now get together for dinner with their spouses or for games of golf. We loved that these two old friends chose to be roomies again at Reunion!

Not only do Curt McLeod ’80 and his son Curt McLeod ’15 share the world’s best alma mater, but their class years mean they always have Reunion together. Amid spending time with classmates, the two made time to walk down memory lane together. “This year, we went to the gym and looked at the team photos,” said Curt Sr. “We found our photos and also those of my two sisters who went here.”

A few weeks before Reunion, Kevin Burke ’00 found an old roll of film and had it developed. “By weird coincidence, it turned out to be photos from senior year!” he said. The photos were a hit with fellow ’00 alums, and here, Burke and Kinsey Robb ’00 recreated a happy moment from their senior year. “What struck me most at Reunion,” said Robb, “Was how quickly we slipped back into old rhythms…proof that the connections forged here are the true magic of Williston.”

We love a good Williston love story! Meg (Griffin) Waidlich ’05 and T.J. Waidlich ’05 first met in Middle School on the dance floor of Megan’s semiformal. That first dance led to a lifetime of friendship and eventually, a marriage and two children. “It was so nice being back and showing the kids the campus,” Megan said of Reunion. “We got to watch them play where we met over 20 years ago!”
