Jamie Pagano, BA’91, of Stokesdale, North Carolina, reports on an informal reunion that the class of 1991 (and grads from several other classes) held in Hyannis, Massachusetts, in August. In attendance were Ray Clark, R. J. D’Agostino, Tom Deluca, Tom Diadamo, Bill Greene, Mark Kenney, Brett Lehman, Mike MacDonald, Joe Moceri, Steve Petz, Al Powell, Chris Powers, and Pagano. “Our five years at Northeastern helped forge wonderful, long-lasting friendships with really loyal people,” writes Pagano. “It is hard to believe that it has been fifteen years since we began what was to be a terrific college experience. It seems funny that I used to hear it was hard to make friends because of co-op schedules. These so-called challenges actually helped us build a more solid foundation of experiences and good times. I can still honestly say that choosing Northeastern was one of the best decisions I made in my life.”
