September 26 - September 28, 2025

The high school Class of 1975 50th reunion held in Bowie this past weekend was an absolute blast for everyone who attended! The air was buzzing with laughter and happy shouts as we all reconnected with old friends, and in a pleasant surprise, we even made new friends with classmates we hadn't associated with much back in high school. The unofficial opening line of the weekend, repeated with a smile and a hopeful squint across the room, was undoubtedly, "Do I know you?", leading to wonderful rediscoveries and the joyful cementing of half a century of shared history. It was a truly memorable weekend of rekindled camaraderie and fun.

About The Reunion

A block of rooms was reserved at the Comfort Inn Conference Center, located off Crane Highway in Bowie.

Schedule - The weekend started off Thursday with a Golf Tournament at Bowie Golf Course. There were 19 golfers competing for bragging rights. The tournament was won by Brian McTige, Rob Heiling and Jim Critchfield (class of 71). On Friday 128 attended the Meet And Greet and were treated to some great hors d'oeuvres. On Saturday, a large number of us were escorted by John Hutson for a Bowie High School Tour. Looked the same and yet there were many changes. That night 162 people joined us for the Main Event. There was great food, a DJ played all those familiar tunes, and of course there was dancing. Pat Cummings hosted an All-Faith Service in the hotel pool area; 28 attended.

Cost - The cost for the main events—the Friday Meet and Greet and the Saturday Main Event—was a combined $145.00 per person. Payment methods included Venmo, Square (for credit cards/digital payments), and checks.
