Homecoming 2008a huge success
More than 80 alums, friends, faculty and staff enjoyed Homecoming 2008. JMC had a huge tent along the parade route, and we watched the event on a beautiful day. The traditional brunch followed in the Hall of Fame foyer in Franklin Hall. Winner of the William Taylor Award this year was 1972 grad, Bob Circosta, one of the founders of home shopping and electronic retailing. The first host on the Home Shopping Network, Circosta bills himself as "Television's Billion Dollar Man." Theme of the brunch was "Campaigning for JMC," and red, white and blue hats and bunting were all over the place.
