More than 400 University of Minnesota Medical School alumni and their guests returned to campus last spring to reconnect with classmates.
Reunion Weekend 2006 began on May 19 for eight celebrating classes between 1946 and 1996 with updates on medical education and research at the University. Alumni also toured the cutting-edge McGuire Translational Research Facility
and attended the Alumni Recognition Banquet, which honored distinguished members of the University community.
To wrap up the weekend, each reunion class met for an individual class dinner on May 20.
“Everything was great—the impressive facilities, the wonderful food, and especially the socializing with fellow graduates and their spouses,” says John E. Quast, M.D., Class of 1956. “It was a perfect way to celebrate our special 50th reunion.”
