"My family and I had a wonderful time at my 60^th reunion. GW has always done such a great job with the reunion events and I was excited to have my family join me as well. The events were well-planned and I had a chance to bring my wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson to the baseball ball game, which was great, since my daughter is also an alum, class of 2005. The staff were all very gracious and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."
