After a relatively quiet summer, school has started with a bang and the halls are bustling once again. You may recall that my last alumni newsletter in June featured not only commencement, but also Reunion weekend. Well, the Alumni Office has not been idle, as we begin this, our September issue, with one more Reunion weekend. This one was celebrated by the Classes of 1964, 1974, and 1989 as they were unable to attend our official Reunion in June.
Welcome back to another edition of The Harley School Alumni newsletter!

Alumni in Town
| 
Filmmakers Sam Hampton '77 and Kirsten Hampton came to town in July with their documentary, "Hidden Books - The Art of Kumi Korf," winner of the CINE 2011 Golden Eagle Award for documentary short. The film was shown as part of the Memorial Art Gallery's Biennial Exhibitions. Sam, Kirsten, Kumi Korf, and musician, Robby Aceto, stayed following the viewing to answer questions from the audience. Go to www.hiddenbooksmovie.com for more information about the documentary.  Jim McCollum '52 (a non-graduate that attended Harley from 1947-1948) and his wife, Betty Grace, stopped by to take a look at the School this summer.
 
Sam Havens '60 was in town from Arizona and stopped by Harley to get some contact information on a classmate. He was able to connect with both his cousin, Jim Havens '60 (pictured on the left) and his friend, Barry Palum '60 (pictured on the right). 
John Mills '57 stopped into School for lunch and a tour of The Commons. He was in town all the way from Australia visiting his family.
