SLIVERFEST ALUMNI WEEKEND
Old Friends, New Memories


Mike McCully, D.O., Frank Belsito, D.O., Jim Lang, D.O. and Tim Crowley enjoy a day on the links.

The MSUCOM family honored its past at the Silverfest Alumni Weekend in September. This year's event celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Class of 1977. The Classes of 1982, 1987 and 1992 were also honored.

The festivites began on Wednesday with the Osteopathic Open. Forest Akers Golf Course hosted a four-person scramble tournament that helped raise money for the Alumni Association and for student loan funds. The Open was sponsored by Metropolitan Hospital.

Friday night featured a dinner dance sponsored by Ingham Regional Medical Center. The band Teen Angels performed classic hits as friends and classmates reunited for a night of food and fun.

Folks came back on Saturday morning for a tailgate party before the Spartan football team's win over Northwestern. The tailgate was held near Demonstration Hall and was sponsored by Fifth Third Bank. The alumni were joined in all the activities by current students as well as faculty and staff.
