The lure of David Reed's attendance at EIU Homecoming North was enough to bring out a good crowd.
 |
| Sally was thrilled that a few sober people showed up at the event. |
 |
| Reed, who celebrated his 75th birthday in January, catches up with Jennifer. |
 |
| A rare sighting in the wild - - - the elusive Tom Keefe. |
 |
| "Yeah, I am still the Big Honcho around these parts!" |
 |
| Tim confuses Reed with concepts of data journalism. |
 |
| "Lola. Lola!! Honcho speaking here!" |
 |
| Still retired Ryan retiring another beer. |
 |
| Ashley and Robyn find older alumni humorous. |
 |
| Reed and Madeleine exchange meaningful conversation. |
 |
| While Bill eavesdrops to sharpen his investigative journalism skills. |
 |
| Ted is startled that Jennifer remembers him. |
 |
| Jeff and Ryan find space to talk in the human sardine net called the wine room. |
 |
| Lola shows everyone her matador skills in case EIU decides to make more cut-backs. |
 |
| Tony and the gang listen to a sermon . . . . |
 |
| . . . . from a suburban evangelist . . . . |
 |
| Dann, who reminds everyone that the world needs journalism more than ever. |

The highlight of this reunion was that Ryan and Reed closed TWO bars, the last one at 2:25 a.m., with Mark, Denise, Bill, Nate, Chris and Ski.
