Alumni from the Class of ’45 through ’06 we on hand for this year’s Richmond Alumni Social hosted by Doug and Lynn Payne ’84.

It was a great spring day on Saturday for our Richmond FMS alumni social. We had 10 alumni in attendance, plus Bud Oakey, an AMA and Riverside alumnus, along with spouses and significant others. All total, we had 30 attendees including alumni representing a wide range of class years, beginning with George Field ’45 of Bon Air (celebrating his 70th class reunion this year), to alumni from the mid 2000s (including rifle team coach, Jay Spruill ’06). It was also interesting to see so many young children of alumni. Co-hosts, Erik Baines ’98, Sam Knight ’00 and John Jureidini ’83 did a great job of spreading the word and building a crowd.

If you are interested in hosting an Alumni Social, contact Debbie Todd (dtodd@fishburne.org) and FMS can help you make contact with other alumni in your area. Help keep the Fishburne brotherhood strong while having a great time with great folks.
