The Welcome Back Crab Feast The Baltimore Museum of Industry was the site of the annual crab feast, held on Friday evening, May 6. The temperature dropped to a nippy 47 degrees late in the evening, but the atmosphere was warm and fuzzy for the more than 320 alumni, faculty, students and guests in attendance. Donald Roane, ’65, Hung Cheung, ’85, Michael Riggleman, ’85, and Sylvan Frieman, ’53 Students comprised about one half of attendees at this year’s crab feast.

Dr. Pierpont Invited to Speak at his Symposium In 1994, Ross Pierpont, ’40, created the Ross Z. & Grace S. Pierpont Alumni Symposium. Over the years, the annual public health policy symposium has featured U.S. congressmen, Maryland legislators, the president of the AMA, and national and international experts to speak on the subject of America’s health care system. On this, Dr. Pierpont’s 65th anniversary reunion at Maryland, he was invited to reflect on his 65 years of debating public health policy. Ross Z. Pierpont, ’40, with wife Grace. Alumni Ride the Ducks One of the popular reunion activities, particularly for graduates not living in Baltimore, is the land and sea tour of the city. The 90-minute tour offers visitors a ride through downtown as well as an inner harbor boat ride, as the vintage World War II vehicles are equipped for both land and sea travel. The tours are sponsored by the Discovery Channel. Alumni enjoy the Duck ride through Baltimore.

Davidge Hall Picnic A number of activities kept alumni moving on Saturday, but for those interested in simply visiting with former classmates, a complimentary picnic was held on the lawn of Davidge Hall.

A Visit to Washington’s World War II Memorial This year, for the first time, the MAA sponsored a Saturday morning trip to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. The suggestion came from Stanley W. Henson, Jr., ’50. Dr. Henson, who lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, suggested that many of the surviving World War II veterans would appreciate an opportunity to visit the new memorial. It honors 16 million Americans who served in the Armed Forces as well as the 400,000 who died in the war. Dr. Henson was correct, as our bus filled to capacity for the journey.
