supplemental ~ Alumni/ae Week 2005
Alumni/ae Week 2005
GTS celebrated Alumni/ae Week 2005 just after Easter with 150 friends old and new returning to the Close for a time of renewal, reflection and fun. The classes of 1955 and 1970 had the highest turnout, and both classes created wonderful biographical booklets for their members. They will make fine keepsakes for all. Of special note was the unveiling of the portrait of Dean Samuel J. Wylie, who led GTS from 1967 to 1972. The project was spearheaded by the Rev. Ned Prevost ’70 and funded largely by the class of 1970, along with others who attended GTS during Dean Wylie’s tenure.
Please scroll through the pictures below to see a few of the highlights. Plans have already begun for Alumni/ae Week ‘06, April 18-21, 2006.
