The Acacia Bonds are Still Strong, 40 Years Later!

Four members of the Class of 1970 got together for a weekend in Chicago and attended the Penn State-Northwestern football game, where they met Football Letter author John Black ’62 at the Alumni Association tent before the game.

Dick Shiffer sent this note to us, along with the photo: "I’m sure you’ll remember the photo of you with the four guys from the class of 1970  (I actually graduated in 71 though in five year program).  All four of us pledged together in the fall of ‘67 when we moved in the house and we all became fast friends and have remained so for 40+ years.  From left to right the guys are Bob Felsburg, who was our Acacia VD in 1970 and lives in the Denver, Colorado area; Dick Shiffer who also lives in the Denver area; John Black; Floyd McKeag, who lives in Newburg, Indiana; and Vic Colaiaco, who lives in the Pittsburgh area and was our Senior Dean in 1970.  We all went back to the Acacia Reunion in October of 2008 and had such a good time re-uniting that we decided to get together again with our wives this past fall for a weekend in Chicago and the football game at Northwestern.  This October our class will be hosting the 40th Reunion at Acacia and we’re all planning to come back again."
