WBRU alumni from the 1960s era held a reunion in Providence on June 24-26, 2005. By any standard, it was a very memorable and enjoyable occasion. As several folks noted, each of us there knew most of the other attendees due to our common tie to the radio station. Those of us who attended in the second half of the 1960s at least recognized the names of many of those who graduated in the first half and may have even met them on a visit to the radio station during our time at Brown. Many a friendship was renewed, and undoubtedly email and personal invitations to visit will follow. And we're likely to do it all again in five years!
WBRU and BSR hosted visits for us and gave us tours of their facilities, which were very informative -- thank you! And thank you also to John Leistritz, Stu Aaronson, and Art Norwalk for making all the reunion arrangements.
