CIU Homecoming 2010 - Class of '70 40th Reunion


It's hard to believe that it's been 40 years since we graduated from CIU (aka CBC to us "old timers"!). The last time I was on the campus was for our 20th reunion in 1990, and it was great to see a lot of our classmates, and some of the faculty that was still around. A part of me is very excited to make the trip again for our 40th reunion, to be able to catch up with old friends and hear the stories of the faithfulness of our God through the years. Another part of me is sad knowing there will be many faces missing because they've made the great "Homegoing" and we won't get to see them again until we get Home. I'm thinking fondly of Sarah Petty, Otis Braswell, Frank Sells, Muriel McQuilkin and others that played such an important role in our lives during our time at CBC.

Mark your calendars for September 17-19, 2010. Go directly to the Alumni site at (http://www.ciu.edu/alumni/HC10/index.html) and register for Homecoming 2010. If you are in contact with other classmates, give them a call or an email to make sure they are receiving the information being sent out. We have quite a few classmates who have not updated their contact information, so they may not be receiving communication. Ask them to either call or email Peggy in the Alumni office to update their contact info there, or email me at brownie2201@gmail.com with the info, and I'll make sure Peggy gets it.

The countdown has begun: only 5 1/2 months til Homecoming 2010! Hope to see you then!
