The Class of 59 invited Professor and Dean Emeritus Vic Powell H’55 to join them, hoping for moments like these! Professor Powell, who will celebrate his 90th birthday this November, has attended the 50th Reunion Dinner of every 1950s class except for 1951 and 1957 (the latter he missed to attend his grandson's graduation).
