For some “Old Lions” it’d been 50 years since they last gathered as classmates.More than 530 Bradwell Institute graduates, teachers and administrators poured in from across the Southeast and as far as Pennsylvania on Saturday for a reunion at the Dorchester Village Civic Center in Midway. Some of them attended the school before it was moved from Washington Avenue in 1972.It was a first for some of the classes, since many of that era never had reunions, according to Derrick Duke, organizer, class of 1963. The Statesboro resident and his wife, Patricia, came up with the idea after she suffered a brain aneurysm in March.
Multi-year reunion a first for many BI grads
Old Lions take pride
