Reunion Weekend 2004
Late May in Annandale, and more than three
hundred alumni/ae and their spouses, partners,
friends, and children gathered at Bard for Reunion
Weekend 2004. They came from as far away as
London and Hong Kong to renew old friendships
and catch up with the Bard of today. The annual
dinner, dance, and fireworks on the Blithewood
main lawn drew a record 1,200 partygoers, includ-
ing faculty and graduating seniors and their fami-
lies, even as a smaller reunion group (Classes of
1939 through 1954) dined in the Olin Atrium, and
the Classes of 1964 and 1969 held their party at
Ward Manor.
