They danced, they ate, they learned -- and they reconnected with classmates and a campus they once called home. For four days in October, some 5,300 alums, spouses, children and friends of the University assembled for Reunion Homecoming 1998. True, the Cardinal lost on the gridiron. But that didn’t seem to matter to the packed crowd who listened to a lively group of panelists debate the pros and cons of technology. Or to those lifelong learners who attended Classes Without Quizzes. Or to the 2,200 -- current students and alums -- who filled the Quad for the first annual All Right Now Swing Dance. “How do you catch up on 20 years in 20 minutes? Somehow Stanford friendships made that possible,” says Scott Canel, ‘78, JD ‘80. “This is an amazing place.”
