The Past FULL Class Reunion---> June 2008
"OUR SENSATIONAL 60TH"

. . "You still haven't changed a bit"


President Warren Daniell's  report on the PLANNING :


It started at 10:00 AM Dec. 5, 2007 when John Hatheway, Bud Gedney and I met with Corine Dungey, Assistant Director of Alumni Events, to kick off planning for our 60th, which will take place
June 9-11 2008 (Mon.-Wed.)
. John and Bud have thankfully volunteered to be co-chairmen of the upcoming Reunion. We couldn't have two who are more experienced. One certainty is that rooms for 1948 classmates will be available in the Hanover Inn, along with a central dormitory and off-campus option. John and Bud will be in frequent touch with Corine, who promises to be very helpful. They are also setting up the reunion committee; Bud Munson has agreed to be Treasurer for the event, and many of the rest of you are likely to be contacted.

At our Mini Reunion, John Hatheway announced the current activities and arrangements:
