Preston Residential College Reunion Follow-up!
So, it happened!! The Preston Residential College reunion went off without a hitch! Although the weather was wet and dreary we still had an fantastic turn out. The staff at Preston were an amazing help and the Preston Ambassadors who helped with set up were invaluable. The guests were an amazing mix of past and current Prestonites. In total, about 90-100 were in attendance. Bob Roller gave a lovely speech and presented a dedication plaque to Jay Jackson's family.
Most people mingled and chit-chatted as they enjoyed the delicious food provided by Carolina Catering.

At the end of the reception a group of remaining guests decided to take a group picture on their beloved couch "Zelda." (The couch was designed by Zelda Fitzgerald, F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife)
All in all the reunion was a success! And I am looking forward to planning Preston's 75th Anniversary this Fall.
