60th Reunion Info
It's hard to believe that 2026 will be the 60th anniversary of our 1966 graduation from B-CC! Earlier this year the Reunion Committee sent out a survey and put a notice on this website to find out the level of interest among the class for holding a 60th reunion celebration. I am happy to say that we received mostly positive responses expressing a desire to hold a reunion. Numerous classmates expressed an interest in attending.
Therefore, the Reunion Committee has begun the necessary preparations to identify an appropriate venue and date for such an event. At the moment, we are currently looking at next summer, preferably in June. Once the decisions are more finalized later this year, we will be back in touch by email and on this website with the details about the event.
Hope to see you all at the reunion.
Your 60th Reunion Committee
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.
