July 7, 2001: The Professors make a triumpant return to Lenfell Hall at Fairleigh Dickinson University. In front of a packed crowd of friends and family, the Professors rocked for over two hours featuring brand new material. Jennifer Lehr returned to join the band for five numbers, including I'm From New Jersey, Five Long Years, and You Oughta Know. Marie Radford made an incredible appearance playing keyboards on the Hawkwind classic Spirit of the Age. The Fairleigh Dickinson gig was performed in front of many distinguished guests, including Gary's parents, Howard and Elsie Radford, and his brother, Mark Radford, who travelled all the way from Sutton-in-Ashfield, England, just to see this show. The Profs also honored Charles and Marion Hein, Marie's parents, who celebrate 60 years of marriage this year. (from The History of The Professors).
