CGA CLASS OF '53 MINI-REUNION
"TIMELESS" is the perfect description for the area ....... In 1608 Captain
John Smith sailed up the
uncharted Rappahannock River to Fredericksburg ............ George
Washington's boyhood home is here
as well as his mother, Mary’s home ..... famous Civil
War battles were fought here ....
the F.B.I.
Academy, the
Marine Corps Museum, and the Quantico
Marine Corps base are all nearby.
We visited the Dahlgren
Naval Warfare Center and the Lee
family’s beautiful Stratford
Hall, each followed by delicious Northern Neck lunches and guided tours of Fredericksburg’s with many
interesting features.
Ted Smith and Bill King put together an outstanding reunion package that showed
us the highlights of the area and its fascinating history. It also gave those
who attended the reunion an opportunity to renew the strong friendships and
bonds that we have developed with our classmates over the years.
We had 58 people attend, more than any other mini-reunion. Because of the
unexpected large number, two Inns were used to house our attendees,
The Inn at the Old Silk Mill,
and The Kenmore Inn.
The reunion schedule was a busy one which kept us on the go - so many places to
see in such a short time. The variety was well thought out and very interesting.
Photographs of most attendees are below as are the photos of places visited.
