Class of '82 Trip A round half the Class of '82 and our spouses gathered in Nash- ville in late April to renew our friendships, reflect on our glory days and plan our next conquests. Brothers converged from around the country to spend 3 nights frequenting local bars and points of interest. Except for a few truly hearty souls it was perhaps 2 too many nights. Brother Gregor retained his title of Worthy Planner and put all others to shame as he lead the charge back to Broadway each night, after 9 pm, for more live music and one more night cap. It was a far cry from the days of the famed "White Castle Club" when quali- fying trips commenced after midnight. Photo above at the General Jackson River Boat pier on the Cumber- land River.
