Image of: We all originally met as freshmen/sophomores at Ohio State, Drackett Tower Dormitory, 9th Floor, East Wing; classes of 1974-75. Bonding was quick, and everlasting! Our first “reunion” was a home in Howe, Ohio in 1980. Since then we have had a summer get-together every year up to 2022 (minus Covid year 2020). A varied handful meet throughout the year, on and off campus; but the entire group is annually in the summer. Very soon after the first party we became “The Drackett Tower Weasels”. There is a story behind this — for a later time. Many of the early meetings were in Dublin, Ohio at one of our homes after a group football game in the ‘Shoe. Then we rented a house in Loudonville, Ohio where we river-rafted and grilled out for 3-4 days each July or August. Since 2013 we have rented a large log cabin in south-central Ohio on 700+ acres with 1 lake and 2 ponds. Activities consist of: laughing, re-telling old stories, Euchre, fishing, corn hole, laughing, grilling/eating, and of course re-telling old stories! The head-count varies slightly every year, as adult schedules create scheduling conflicts (and the grim reaper has stuck his ugly hand into our midst) - from a base of 13 guys, we have always had at least 7 make it annually. Every few years we invite the wives and hold a Weasels & Wives Reunion at some lovely Ohio resort. Our wives have heard the stories at least 75 times and tell them nearly as well as we do. Two things are for sure — there is never a dull moment, and there’s plenty of laughter. We always are planning and looking forward to the next time!
