The Med School Scoop--Houston Reunion


Last weekend, we found ourselves in Houston for Bryan's medical school reunion at Baylor College of Medicine. Although the turnout numbers were low for his class, we had a really great time. It was so fun to see his old stomping grounds--class room buildings, hospitals where he did his clinicals, his apartments, favorite restaurants, etc. The opening mixer was fun (amazing to see those celebrating their 50th med school reunion!); we bumped into classmates and an old professor or two. They had lots of food, sweets, and a bubbling bar--and who could forget the photo booth and caricature artist . . . right. The next day we enjoyed a class breakfast, followed by some time shopping and drowning. Yeah, it rained 5 inches in 48 hours; we got "caught" in some troubling water, which prompted us to return to the hotel. Unfortunately, the rain hindered some of the festivities, such as the campus tour being canceled. The reunion weekend was topped off by a class dinner at a great mexican restaurant. So fun and interesting to hear the "old" stories of med school glory days.  Aside from the humidity, I had a great time and Bryan did too! I'm just happy to have a badge with my name on it that says, "Baylor College of Medicine." I'm so going to attach it my work bag . . . "Yes, that's Dr. Emily Youree. . . ."
