A family affair
Monmouth College celebrated Family Weekend in mid-September. The Homecoming celebration that followed on Sept. 30-Oct. 1 could very well have been dubbed “Family Weekend II.” The theme of family was a thread that ran throughout Homecoming, which was held on two glorious autumn days. Joining the slate of traditional activities was the inaugural Fighting Scots Champions Club ceremony, where members of Monmouth’s undefeated 1972 football team were honored. “These are very special men who became part of our family,” said the team’s coach, Bill Reichow, of the 30 players who attended the ceremony.
