Alumni Return 2003 Brings Friends Together This Fall
Different Strokes for Different Folks
As we've mentioned in a previous issue of This Month @ Moritz, the alumni return will have a slightly different format than in previous years. Be sure that you reserve the right weekend for your class year:
- Friday and Saturday, September 12 and 13, 2003 for the classes of 1953, 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, and 1983, OR
- Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, 2003 for the classes of 1988, 1993 and 1998
Our 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th and 50th Reunion Celebration
The September 12-13 reunion weekend will be held at the Westin Great Southern Hotel in downtown Columbus. If you are coming from out of town, be sure to call the hotel at 1(800) Westin1 or (614) 228-3800 by August 21. A block of rooms has been reserved for us through that date-just mention that you are with the OSU Moritz College of Law reunion to take advantage of discounted accommodations at the center of the action. Activities will be as follows:
| Friday, September 12 | |
| Reception for all classes with Dean Nancy Hardin Rogers | 6:00pm |
| Presentation of the 2003 Outstanding Alumnus Award | 7:00pm |
| Please help us to congratulate Jack Creighton, of the Class of 1957. | |
| Class Dinners | 7:30-??? |
| Saturday, September 13 | |
| Tailgate at the Moritz College of Law | TBA |
| OSU Football vs. North Carolina State | TBA |
Please note that the class of 1953 has special activities planned beyond the scope of the Friday evening events listed here, thanks to committee chair Frank Bazler. You will receive details in the mail. If you are a member of the class of 1953, and have not yet received your save-the-date card, please contact Laura Landy Carr at 614-292-2937 or carr.275@osu.edu.
Celebrating 5, 10 and 15 Years
The November 7-8 reunion weekend is all about being a Buckeye. We've centered the activities for both days at OSU hot spots. On Friday, November 7 we'll start with drinks and hors d'oeuvres at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Café at 6:00 p.m., with dinner to follow. On Saturday, November 8, we'll meet at the Moritz College of Law for a tailgate at which we will honor our 2003 Outstanding Recent Alumnus, Brian Burns '97, followed by one of the best Big Ten match-ups of the season: OSU vs. Michigan State (times to be announced). Watch your mail for your save-the-date card, which will contain information about accommodations.
The Leaders of the Band

It's All About You
The Alumni Return is, and has always been, about friendship. This is your chance to reconnect with those who shared both the good and the tough times with you in law school. It's a great deal-we plan the parties, we arrange for tasty food and drink. All you need to do is to come to the event, and then kick back and relax with friends old and new.
Watch for details in the mail this summer, and visit our web site often for details, include the most current list of who is planning to attend from your class.
As always, contact Laura Landy Carr at (614) 292-2937 or carr.275@osu.edu with your questions and comments. We hope to see you in the fall!
