In Memoriam: Class of 1994 Memorial Service

Since we arrived on campus in the fall of 1990, we have lost seven members of our class:

• Jennifer DelVecchio Gustafson, who lived in Wilson House, majored in Government, and passed away 8/1/2007.
• Deirdre Flaherty, who lived off campus, majored in Spanish, and passed away 8/12/2004.
• Carol Boyer who lived at 150 Elm Street, majored in Government, and passed away 4/17/2001.
• Laura Swymer-Clancy who lived in Wilson House, majored in Art: History, and passed away 10/21/2001.
• Judith Grubbs, who lived off campus, majored in Economics, and passed away 11/20/2000.
• Linda Miller who passed away 10/15/1995.
  
• And Kimberly Tyler who passed away 2/11/1991.

On the exact 15-year anniversary of our commencement, Friday, May 22nd, 2009, we will gather by Paradise Pond to celebrate the lives of these women and to honor their passing.

"In Memoriam," an open-air memorial service will be held 4:45-5:15 p.m. (rain or shine) in a quiet pond-side clearing tucked away on the other side of the crew house. Head to the Boathouse and look for signs.

Anyone wishing to offer remembrance of their loved ones, or of friends or family from other classes who have passed away is welcome. We will also take a moment to honor Bob Nylen, a guest lecturer in the American Studies department who died in December 2008 after a valiant battle with cancer.
