Reunions 2026

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!

This is a photo of Mark (Col ’86) and Carolyn (Boggs) Patrick (Col ’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!
