It’s “WHOM are you hoping to see?” Is correct grammar, diction, punctuation, etc., too much to ask of writers nowadays? Of course, we all know what’s meant by “Who are you hoping to see?”, but we also know what’s meant if someone says “I ain’t got no money,” but we immediately form a negative opinion of that speaker’s intelligence and education. Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly are better than their writing in this case makes them out to be.

Authors, including cartoonists, have a responsibility to foster correct grammar.

So, if it’s his 75th reunion that would make him 92 or 93, depending on how old he was when he graduated.
