Several Highlights:

Princeton came from behind to beat Harvard 31-28 in a very exciting game on a picture perfect day. After Princeton scored its game winning touchdown, the Class of 1961 sang Happy Birthday to our new Class President John Graham. The song was repeated at the reception and dinner as host Joe McGinity presented John with a piece of cake with flaming candles.

The Class of 1961 formed the major cheering section on visitor side with some assistance from Patrick Davidson's power megaphone. The Class of 1961 had one of the largest numbers of the classes attending the pre-game tailgate. Rick and Kathy Wall brought their daughter Wendy with husband Jim and grandsons Jacob & Luke. They loved the Princeton victory.

Maureen and Joe McGinity hosted a delightful class reception and dinner at Quadrangle Club. Our classmates and wives had such a good time that they closed up the dining room. Joe has already booked Quadrangle Club for next years reception and dinner after the Yale game.
