About a dozen alumni spanning the first four years of the documentary journalism project came to the reunion, held at Brewski's Pub & Grill in the Riverport Inn.
"The reunion was put together in a hurry," Tom Grier, NOH director, said. "Often people who have been involved in the project ask why we don't get together more often, so I just planned an opportunity for a social time."
People gathered, enjoyed snacks or a meal and watched a rotating slide show with hundreds of candid photos from all the years of the student journalism projects. There was a lot of laughter and memories of fun moments of days spent on the Navajo Nation with classmates from Diné College.
Door prizes were given to most who attended, including caps embroidered with the Navajo Oral History project logo, and some tall pilsner glasses from the WSU Alumni Society.
