Members of the Class of 1982, along with their kids, partners and friends, pose for a photo outside of school
Thirteen alumni, 9 guests, 3 former teachers, 2 pubs, 1 school tour…all on the 4th of July! This past weekend, members of the Class of 1982 gathered in London from all corners of the world to collectively celebrate their 50th birthdays. This much-anticipated reunion, organized by “El Capitan” Bill McCarrick, provided a chance for classmates to return to campus and revisit fond memories (as well as the old stomping grounds). Several alumni brought along their families and partners to partake in the revelry. A tour of ASL on 4 July kicked off the festive weekend. After marveling at the School Center and renovated Farmer Family Gymnasium, the group made their way to the Salt House for a special happy hour. They were joined by former faculty Bob Carter (ASL 1969-2014), Paul Morton (ASL 1963-1997) and Tim Watson (ASL 1973-2007). Visiting with these beloved teachers was the true highlight of the evening.

Following a few hours of talking and toasting, the Class of 1982 continued the party at the Holly Bush in Hampstead. The next day was filled with sightseeing, capped off with a dinner cruise down the Thames. It was a birthday to remember, for America and for these energetic alumni! We are grateful ASL remains such a significant, unifying part of their story.
Cheers to the Class of 1982!
