UVA Alumni Memory Wall

CLAS 2002 mini-reunion. We all met in Balz 410 & 420. Still great friends over 25 years later

YAR dance edition

Ran into an old dance teammate!

I lived in Munford as a first year at UVA. I had the best hallmates and this is one of those random moments we were hanging out in my dorm, and someone snapped a picture. Miss it so much!

Final Exercises UVA 2001. Walking the Lawn. I remember thinking how did 4 years fly by so quickly! And the feeling of walking down the Lawn with everyone was exhilarating!

Capturing a quick moment with everyone during Final Exercises on the Lawn 2001, in front of Thomas Jefferson.

I remember a wonderful, beautiful day that graduation of 1986. I was not sad, because I knew I would be staying at UVA for another 4 years to attend medical school. I was not thinking that day about where my parents would find parking or other crucial details. Somehow, they were right where they needed to be for the ceremony! I see photos of current UVA graduations with all the colorful balloons! I would definitely have been a fan if someone had only thought of balloons back when we graduated!

Letter home

This is a photo of Mark (Col class of ’86) and Carolyn (Boggs) Patrick (Col class of ’88) in Dabney 2nd Right on Carolyn’s birthday. Married in 1988 following Carolyn’s graduation, we both served in the Navy (via UVA NROTC) and in August 2026, will have been married 38 years. Two of our three adult children are also UVA graduates, and we now live near Charlottesville, having chosen Central VA as forever home!

I remember a wonderful, beautiful day on the Lawn for our graduation. I was not sad, because I knew I would be at UVA another 4 years for medical school. That day, I was not thinking – where will my parents find parking – or other crucial details. But somehow they were right where they needed to be! I see photos from current graduations with all the colorful balloons – I would have so been a fan of that if someone had only thought of it back then!

Shawn, Dan, Zach, Dan, Ivan, and Hank still supporting UVA Athletics floor side at a basketball game 20 years later thanks to Zach’s generous donation to the program. All of them graduated in the class of 2005.

Taylor, Todd, Jamie, Shawn, and Jack all lived in Page Old Dorms 1st year. Four years later, they walked Lawn to graduate from UVA, saying goodbye to 4 of the best years of their lives.

Shawn Roe and Drew Cohan were 1st year roommates in old dorms. Their hall mates formed a crew and called themselves PFL for Page First (floor) Left (side). They’d write PFL on the whiteboard outside of O Hill cafeteria to let their friends know if they were eating there. And at the Tom Deluca show back in 2001, Shawn and Drew wrote PFL on their arms. Proud Hoos and hall mates from day 1—and still good friends today.

Here’s one way to get around Charlottesville! Lawn chairs before the Lawn.

UVA Semester Abroad Valencia Spain 1984

Spring 1984 was UVA’s first year for their Study Abroad Program in Valencia, Spain. Small group! Great fun!

UVA Ultimate Frisbee 1984/85.

At a fraternity formal end of my first year with my then-boyfriend (now my husband of 35 years).

December 1976, 3rd floor Kent dorm (south end). Our hallway was an extension of our dorm rooms. The payphone mounted next to the bathroom entrance was mostly used for incoming calls. We could place long distance outgoing calls on the RA’s telephone whenever she put it in the hallway outside her door (we paid for our calls when the monthly bill arrived). The popcorn maker was often in use outside the RA’s room (where it was plugged in), especially during midterms and finals week. This photo shows us gathering together at the end of our 1st college semester.

Fall 1976. Gatherings were common in my dorm room. On this particular evening, everyone huddled in close as one of my hallmates read aloud from the Playgirl magazine that my roommate had just received from us for her 18th birthday.

So I went to a football game accidentally wearing the other team’s colors oops. I then bought the flag you see in the middle of the photo to demonstrate that I was a UVA fan. Long story short bought the flag back to Maryland and the club loved it!
