Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School
Class of 1966
Over the past 58 years, Mr. Steele's 1965-66 AP physics class has been having reunions of their own every few years. In 2017, over a quarter of the class, along with Mr. Steele and his son Colin Steele III, went out to Wyoming for the solar eclipse. A CBS News clip of that eclipse reunion trip can still be viewed at: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/star-students-hold-special-class-reunion-under-solar-eclipse/. The CBS news piece also includes a mini-reunion of Mr. Steele and five members of the class, visiting the old classroom at B-CC the day before leaving for Wyoming. Between that meeting and the reunion in Wyoming, there were a total of 11 members of the class participating. And counting family members, there were 24 of us watching the eclipse in Wyoming.
Mr. Steele turned 90 this year, and his class of 1966 is still honoring him. On February 18, 2024, 18 of the 29 living members of that class met in person and on Zoom for another "Mr. Steele Reunion" and early birthday celebration at his home in Winchester, VA. View photo collage here.
