Reunion photos and update

On October 9, 2008, we had our Greece Trip Reunion at the University of Maine in Orono. It was in the North Pod of the Memorial Union, and quite a few students were able to come. Matt Fields had created a slideshow of the trip, after soliciting phoos from everyone. Izzy Wieck (Elizabeth Wieck on FirstClass) was our caterer, and she provided moussaka, dolmades (grape leaves), honey-cheese pie, spinakopita, and baklava. It was great!

UMaine faculty and staff also present included Ray Pelletier, chair of the Dept. of Modern Languages & Classics, Nancy Ogle, one of our fearless leaders, Tina Passman (moi), Kyriacos Markides, from Sociology, Emily Markides from Peace Studies, Dora Kilimis-Zakis, from Nutrition, and Karen Boucias, head of International Programs. Our Dean, Jeff Hecker, has planned to attend, but was delayed by a school function of his daughter's.

We also had student guests: Ryan, from Honors, Jeremy Swist from Honors and Latin/Secondary Education, Megan Aydelott, from Latin and Math, and Jackie Chiarell, from History.

Our wonderful Erja Lipponen came up from Camden.

Check out the Picasa albums linked to this blog for the photos!

I can honestly say that "a good time was had by all." You can also see the album in the "Travels in the Mediterranean" site on Facebook.
