<p>Celebrating their 50th anniversary, PIERCE 1963 graduates met up with former classmates on November 18 during a cocktail reunion held in their honor at PIERCE. <strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>“To the organizing team, our sincere thanks for you kind welcome to our class. We were all delighted to meet our classmates after fifty years&#8230;&#8221; said Heleni Issigoni-Dara (PIERCE ’63), an interior designer.</p>
<p>“It was a wonderful opportunity to helps us remember the happy years we spent at Elliniko with all the photographs you presented to us. Your hospitality was indeed remarkable. You made me extra happy by mentioning the ‘Embry Riddle University’ in Daytona Beach, Florida that my son Kleanthis Daras (PIERCE &#8217;00) graduated from with a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree, and is now working at US Airways as a First Officer. We hope we will all be well to meet in ten years and see you again,” concluded Issigoni-Dara.</p>
<p>Another 1963 graduate, <strong>Anastassia Pehlivanidou-Liakata</strong>, remarked on how both ACG and alumnae always remain innovative: &#8220;in our lives, we must always keep moving so that we stay ahead of the curve,&#8221; she said.</p>
