We are forgoing speeches this year to give classmates more time to socialize with one another, dance to the music of Professor Ed Ratushny and The Wave, and celebrate their reunions. We will also pay tribute to the late Gabriel Tsampalieros (’73), and say a brief word of congratulations to our four new inductees to the Common Law Honour Society: Gregory Kane (’69), Monique Métivier (’77), Lawrence Greenspon (’78), and Claudette Commanda (’97).
We will celebrate milestone reunion years for graduating classes whose years end in 4 or 9, however all Common Law graduates are invited to attend.
