November saw alumni dinners in Chicago and Los Angeles as well as the first ever alumni hike in Percy Warner Park.
These dinners are a chance for alumni in cities around the country to meet each other and with USN's Director Vince Durnan. The alumni who come to the dinners are from many different class years and posses just as many unique life stories. But they all have that PDS/USN spirit and camaraderie that makes conversations natural and easy. A special note of recognition goes out to Edward Shaw from the class of 1939, who charmed all of us at the Los Angeles dinner.
