Pre-50th Reunion Lunches
Taking a lead from several earlier 50th Reunions, your Class leadership decided to hold a number of pre-reunion lunches around the country to rekindle old friendships and develop momentum for the reunion. From January to May approximately 215 classmates and guests attended 18 lunches around the country, providing a solid foundation for a great turnout in New Haven in May. None of this would have happened without the efforts of the event hosts, who devoted considerable time and effort to organizing each luncheon and rounding up classmates to come. Thanks guys! The names of attendees and hosts, and pictures can be seen below. |
