About
This Website
This
website is built to support and document the lives
of a group of King's College Alumni and their friends.
It acts as both a living testament to the enduring
bonds of friendship of this fellowship, as well
as a hub of information sharing and support. |

This
group of Alumni graduated in the 1975-1976 time frame from
King's College of Wilkes-barre, Pa. and boasts such names
as Frank, Mark, Kevin, Scott, Paul, John, Randy, Fitzy, Mike,
Joanne, Ed, Duane, Vandy, Gallagher, Jake, Harvey, Curt and
others.
The
group started this tradition from a campout in the woods and
grew through the years to be a defining point for many lives.
The attendees of these parties varied with a few stalwart
individuals , and friends came and enjoyed the convivial atmosphere
and came back again and again.
The
attachment to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien grew during our
school years. The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
struck a cord of popularity to the extent that individuals
of our group were named after characters - John being Bilbo,
Frank as Frodo, Gos as Gandalf, Scott as Aragorn, Curt as
Beorn, Mark as Tom Bombadil etc. The truth be told, our lives
at the time would parallel that of the Hobbits who also shared
the simple enjoyments of brew, song and adventures.
Every
year, toward the waning of summer, the fellowship of the King's
converge together and enjoy a weekend of merriment. The festivities
have grown to such an extent that a rock band has become the
soul of the celebration and produces the mood that gladdens
the hearts of those that journeyed from afar. A pageant takes
place that features the raw and seasoned talents of those
that dare to trip the boards.
This
website will grow and develop as our fellowship has done.
Its intent is to communicate past, present and future interests
and needs of our circle of friends.
