Class of 1969, you have an exciting opportunity awaiting you on Reunion Weekend this June! Your Reunion Committee co-chairs have planned a dinner and boat cruise the night of Friday, June 5 for you and your classmates to reminisce. Dinner will take place at the Waterfront Grille, in Herkimer, which features casual American dining followed by a boat cruise along the Erie Canal. Shuttle service will run guests from Hamilton to the restaurant and then return to Hamilton at the end of the evening. For only $16 dollars with a two- or three-night reunion registration package, you have the chance to enjoy a special evening with your classmates and take in the beauty of the Erie Canal. Steve Kenny is greatly looking forward to a rousing rendition of "Dear Old Sal"!

"Dear Old Sal"
I've got an old mule and her name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good old worker and a good old pal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal, and hay
And every inch of the way we know
From Albany to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal

We'd better get along on our way, old gal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal
'Cause you bet your life I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal

Git up there mule, here comes a lock
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock
One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo

Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
And you'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on
The Erie Canal
