More than 150 alums spanning 45 years of the Freeman School turned out on May 4 for Freeman’s second annual Graduate Alumni Reunion Party.
From left to right, Class of ’67 grads Bill Gibbons, George Adams, Eric Smith, John Davis and Hardee Kilgore.
The party was a chance for the Freeman School to recognize alumni of graduate programs (MBA, MFIN and MACCT) celebrating milestone graduation anniversaries. This year’s reunion honored graduates from ’07, ’02, ’97, ’92, ’87, ’82, ’77, ’72, ’67 and ’62.
In addition to alumni, a number of Freeman School faculty attended the reunion, including Dean Ira Solomon, John Elstrott, Frank Jaster, Jim Murphy, Eric Smith (MBA ’67), Kel Riess, Paul Spindt, Robin Desman Spindt (MBA ’97), Greg Thurnher (E ’02, MBA ’07) and Linda Baynham (MBA ’02).
While the party was decidedly casual and unstructured— it was scheduled to coincide with Jazz Fest after all—Dean Solomon delivered a brief update on the school and recognized the reunion chairs who organized the event, and Richie Gray (MBA ’12, MGM ’12), gave alumni an update on school programs from a student’s perspective.

After Dean Solomon spoke, Hardee Kilgore (MBA ’67), chair of the reunion committee for the 1967 class, took the floor and presented Dean Solomon with a check for $207,597, representing the collective gifts all of this year’s reunion classes.
