ReunionWeekend
graduation from Spring
Hill College. To celebrate I made a visit to Mobile, AL and the Spring
Hill campus which has seen a great deal of improvement since my time there.
The sign from
I-65

The Dauphin Street
gate

A female statue on the south lawn
- she seemed as peaked as the dreary
weather

Walking down the Avenue of the
Oaks is a Spring Hill College graduation
tradition

The college’s historic marker on
Old Shell Road

The site of the old Mirror Lake
apartments where I used to live is now a new apartment community

The last time I was in Mobile,
they looked a little different see my entry on January 27,
2004.
Good old Mirror
Lake which will always hold memories for many
us.
The old train depot building in
Mobile, AL.

The Mobile
Register’s press - well more specifically what happens to the papers
after they’re printed.
Lovely little Larkin and
Kelley

In The Cloister, where we used to
spend a lot of time eating chicken fingers are Kelley, Laura, Emily and
Regina.

Five Lambda Chi
Alpha brothers of Delta Delta Zeta: Chris, Frank, Will, Omar and
Alex.

Frank calling up for a pizza and
realizing he can’t lisp like the good old
days.
Does Will remember what Alex and
Frank are thinking about?

Will and his lovely fiancŽ
Celeste

Frank attempting to moon the bar.
Thank the heavens he did not succeed.

Will these people come to their
sen5es and learn to spell senses!

St Joseph’s
Chapel

A statue from 1904. The missing
top part of the cross he is holding was chopped off by the large circular
stained glass structure (seen in the previous picture high above it) when the
original one shattered during a very bad storm. The glass has been restored but
the top piece of his cross wasn’t.

The fountain where my friend
Michelle and I had a midnight picnic

This is the old clock which I
tried unsuccessfully to restore to working order while on the
Hill.

A corner of the
chapel

A new addition to the campus, a
sculpture I’d never seen before

The view of the chapel from The
Barter Room in the new Spring Hill
library

A book I wish had been a part of
Spring Hill’s library when I was a student
here.

A closer view of the fountain
which of course did not exist when I went to school
here.

A statue in the old Jesuit
cemetery. Ten years ago, there were only trees behind where that little fence is
today.

A quiet place on campus where I
spent a lot time thinking

Jesuit
statue

headstone.

A detail of a newer
headstone.

Another statue in the old Jesuit
cemetery.

Featured on the left, is the only
cute cater water at the south lawn picnic - what can I say I like
blondes.

The Stuppy’s: Kelley, Larkin and
Frank (their two sons were home with their
grandparents)

Larkin looking like a little
Quaker - but hey her head is warm right?

The Wyatt’s: Alex and Megan (their
two kids were also in absentia) For the record, it was windy that
day.

Emily and her ‘Grizzly
Man’

Chris with his 3 sons: Fisher,
Harrison and John Kelly saying, “Omar” while I took the
picture.
