Paula Colizzo Lewinski writes: On October 24, 2015 our class had its 30th reunion. There were lots of laughs, reminiscing and fun had by all. There were some people who were only able to make it during the day to tailgate at Homecoming and others who joined us later at the Bethlehem Brew Works Steelegaarden (where Orr’s Department Store used to be) for more Class of ’85 reunioning.  All who couldn’t make it were missed!

Timothy Law Sr., D.O. writes:  I have six children and since taking the job at Ohio University I have one son in the medical school here and two daughters in the undergraduate program.  One son is still in high school.  My older two girls are now out of school and married with jobs! Woohoo!  And as we celebrate 30 years since graduation I will also be celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary.

From Paula:
Joe and I were unable to attend Moravian’s Homecoming festivities this year because our daughter is a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh and that was when were out there for Family Weekend. Boy, we’ve all come such a long way from our freshman year at Moravian in the fall of 1981! It’s hard to believe that this spring it will be 25 years since we graduated. Which brings me to a very important topic…our 25th Reunion. Our volunteer class committee has already had conference calls to get things underway. The school has changed how it handles reunions for classes under 30 years out and now all reunions will be held in May. That means that our opportunity to get together to celebrate our 25th will take place May 21 and 22, 2010. Between now and then you will hopefully receive mailings, emails, and phone calls with information. If you’d like to take a more proactive approach to getting your information I’m hoping to have a Facebook page in place in the very near future. Really looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in May.
