I'm not sure how many folks were able to get through the mad rush to reserve commencement tickets this morning, but there are some classmates who didn't and need extra tickets.
Altamarie Burroughs needs one for her mom, who will be accompanying her daughter to our reunion. If you have any extras that you're not planning to use, please contact her at alburrough@hotmail.com.

Commencement Tickets
As you all probably know by now the university has announced its distribution plans for commencement tickets.
Beginning Monday, April 19, at 8 a.m. EST, you can try and get one of the 1,000 tickets that will be available for the general public at commencement.hamptonu.edu on a first-come, first-serve basis. The next opportunity will be for alumni only on May 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST at the Emancipation Oak on campus. The reunion committee is checking to see whether the alumni allotment is for all alums, or just those who are registered with the reunion year classes.
That's the game-plan for now, but all of this could change. It's Hampton, y'all.
What's Happening And When
Our weekend schedule is still pretty much the same. There will be a confirmed list of activities in your registration packets.
Hotel
Our hotel block is full but if any of you with reserved rooms won't be attending please let either Andre DeBose or Michael Byrd know. Adebose@deloitte.com, Michael_Byrd@bellsouth.net.
Women Holding On!
The ladies still lead the Battle of the Sexes! It might be time for the brothers to bring in some ringers from '85! Thanks to Cheryl Dunn Badger for organizing such a successful campaign!
