I met Mr. Decker once. What I remember the most was his seer-sucker suit and his slight stature. It was hard to imagine he headed the company that invented the Dust Buster!
Reunion
I can’t make it to Chestertown tomorrow as I am going to the Radnor Hunt!
I almost ditched the horses when I found my friend Giles Beale ‘95 will be going down for the day to celebrate with the class of 1998.
Wish I could be there! Please take some a pix of yourself hugging the GW statue.
I love WC!
I'll be there tomorrow night into Sunday...

Chestertown Tumblr Meetup??
It’s reunion weekend and I’ll be at WC because I work there so it’s a requirement. If any other alumni/Tumblrs in town, we should get together…I always get so jealous of the NYC and LA meetups because, let’s face it, Ctown just isn’t cool enough for meetups on a regular basis.
Happy May Day!
WCAlumnet
Yes, I am registered, and I never use it, primarily because I forget it exists. I agree with Paula’s comments, and add that the format is really odd. If they would just duplicate a basic page layout it would be much easier to navigate.
WCAlumnet
Hi there
Yes, I am registered to use WCAlumnet. When it first debuted I was very excited about it but then I noticed that it was not being updated regularly and not many people from my class year had even signed up. It is also extremely clunky to use…I am not even sure how I can go about changing the photos I have submitted there!
It would be helpful if there were notifications as to new postings or when classmates activate accounts.
Perhaps younger graduates (1980s-Present) should be encouraged to view the Washington College Magazine via WCAlumnet…that would save some money on mailing and printing costs and encourage its use. I also just paged through said magazine and I do not believe there is even one blurb about WCAlumnet…maybe there should be a highlight taken from the alumni site included in each classnotes to make people more aware.
BTW do you know why Wilmington Alumni have now been lumped in with Philadelphia. There are a lot of us here in Wilmo and we are all very perplexed as to how and why this happened.
Thanks!

WCAlumnet
Hi everyone!
I’m an alum from ‘07 but I’m also on staff working with the WC website, and I’m hoping you can help me out (though giving me a “legit” reason to be on Tumblr in the office is already a big help!).
Since you’re on Tumblr, you’re obviously awesome, Internet-savvy people so I’d like to know if you’re registered on Alumnet - if you are, how much you use it and if not, why, and what (if anything) would entice you to use it (or use it more).
Thanks!
Hello.
This is about of as niche a Tumblr group as I’ve imagined.
I’ve written a lot for the Collegian and Elm. Here’s a link to those articles.
Also, I’ve invited the only other WAC Tumblr I know, Justine.
