Our 50th reunion was held at the
Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites — the same site of our successful 45th reunion
in 2003. A block of rooms were held at the hotel for those who wished to stay
on the premises. The room rate was $119 (plus applicable taxes and fees) per
night, single or double. Reservations were made directly with the hotel
and mention was made of the GW/Hammond Class Reunion to take advantage of the reduced rate.
