Class of ’39 grads remain best friends

Regis University hosted its annual Alumni Weekend July 10-12.

 This year’s theme, “Destination Denver,” was planned by the Regis University Alumni Association and individual reunion classes, including the two surviving members of the class of 1939, Stanley M. Hall and Deacon George J. Reinert, both of Denver.

Hall and Reinert met at Regis University and have been best friends ever since their time together living at Carroll Hall.

While Hall participated in basketball, football and the Delta Sigma fraternity, Reinert was student body president and was editor of the “Ranger” yearbook.

In the 70 years since the pair have graduated, Hall and Reinert both married and raised large families.

In 1975, Reinert was ordained a deacon. At 91, he continues his diaconal services.
