Over the past two decades I have asserted that my FORDHAM COLLEGE class of 1955, was truly unique and the BEST class in the college's history. This sounded self serving and it was just dismissed.
The weekend of June 4th, my class celebrated it 55th reunion and 35 of a class of 325 attended the GOLDEN RAM festivities at the BEAUTIFUL Rose Hill campus. This represented 10% of the graduating class and 17% of the living class members. Even Father McShane, current President, applauded this unique turnout and it is interesting to note that the class of 1955, equalled the normally highest turnout class, which was celebrating their 50th reunion, the class of 1960.
Over the next few blogs I would like to reflect on the time that this class went to college, their background and their UNIQUE accomplishments.
In the next blog I will discuss the "early times that this class experienced" and how it contributed to their strong commitment and loyalty, not only to FORDHAM, but to their wives, families and contribution to THE UNITED STATES.
The Class of 1955 were the generation that is ignored, since they were stuck between the GREATEST GENERATION and the BABY BOOMERS and never given their proper recognition as how they made the US what is really today..they were those who BONDED..both generations and never were concerned or demanded recognition.
Next blog will be on the SOCIO/POLITICAL environment that the CLASS of 1955 grew up in..
STAY TUNED...
