USNA Class of 1963 50th Reunion

On October 23, Georgia & I flew to Annapolis for my 50th college class reunion.  The weekend was filled with a dinner at Bill & Jennifer Earner's home, a gathering of some of the members of the undefeated 1960 plebe crew (We placed 4th in the 1960 Olympic trials and were only beaten that year by our own varsity, who represented the US in Rome; California, the IRA champions; and a good Syracuse alumni boat), a company dinner at the Earner's home, a Friday Brigade parade, a class banquet, the Navy-Pitt football game (Navy won with a field goal with one second left), and a company Sunday brunch, also at the Earner's home. We returned home on Monday after a fabulous week. 

Here are some of the weekend's pictures:

Restaurant Le Jules Verne, Second Level of the Eiffel Tower

We celebrated our visit to Paris with lunch at the Le Jules Verne, a restaurant on the second level(40 stories up) in the Eiffel Tower.  The restaurant was a one star Michelin restaurant and earned its stars.  After lunch we were sad that we had to head for the airport for the trip home.
