Fellow ’78 Classmates:

On behalf of the Class of ’78 officers and reunion committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to our 35th Class Reunion on October 25-26, 2013, in the Holtzman Alumni Center and The Inn at Virginia Tech. This is the Tech vs. Duke University weekend.

Events begin Friday evening after arrival during the day. We are offering a relaxing walking tour of campus, which has changed quite a bit over the past 35 years. You will see some spectacular new buildings and landscaped areas that have never seemed more beautiful. Our Saturday will include a brunch and an afternoon football game against the Duke Blue Devils. Exact ACC game times are set closer to the game date these days – stay tuned!  Here are the highlights of our weekend after arriving on Friday:

• 35th Reunion Reception, Banquet, and Dancing (yes, the DJ has relics called “albums”!)
• Saturday morning brunch and spirit rally with the Hokie Bird
• Hokie Football vs. Blue Devils in Lane Stadium in class seating section
• Enjoy time with classmates back at The Inn or around Blacksburg

The Holtzman Alumni Center adjoining The Inn will serve as our reunion headquarters. Lodging rooms in The Inn and football tickets (if needed) have been reserved especially for our class. These are limited, so register early. Should you have questions about the weekend or need help locating classmates to encourage them to join you, please contact Greg Fansler at the Alumni Office, 540-231-6285 or gfansler@vt.edu.   

Looking forward to you joining us in the Fall,
