Reunion 2015
It’s your turn to have a great weekend with your classmates.
If 1965 is your graduation year, congratulations on your 50th anniversary!
REKINDLE ∙ REFRESH ∙ REBUILD
What’s in your Michigan memory bank? Furstenburg, M1, mnemonics, Zingerman’s,
Angelo’s, Phi Chi notes, all-nighters, Galen’s Smoker, Netter’s, Match Day; Drs. Abrams,
Burkel or Fantone (Class of 1995)? Each class has its own wonderfully unique personality
and inimitable set of experiences. For some, this free association of words and names brings
to mind a brief encounter or a smile; maybe even the aroma of some delicious bread! For
others, relationships developed that will last a lifetime. For all of us, the single common
thread is a start in medicine on a firm foundation of excellence.
When we were first brought together, our lives crossed paths largely by chance. We have
an opportunity to come together again, this time quite deliberately. It is my distinct pleasure
to invite you to the 2015 University of Michigan Medical School Reunion to rekindle, refresh
and rebuild on a foundation of friendships that were born of a truly unparalleled, shared set
of experiences.
We really look forward to seeing you in October! Go Blue!
Highest Regards,
Louito C. Edje (M.D. 1995)
President, Medical Center Alumni Society
