ROADTRIP TO THE 40TH REUNION:
DISPATCHES FROM THE TYPEWRITERS OF
HOLDER, WITHERSPOON AND BLAIR
LETTER #1 January 2018
Well,
Wit’s letters were so successful that they motivated long lost roomies
Holder and Blair to return to Old Nassau for the first time for the 35th
reunion. They had such a great time reconnecting with Wit and many
others, they volunteered to help Wit write the dispatches and pose for a
picture as we march first to our 39th Reunion and then our next major
reunion, our 40th!
Each
month, for the next 18 months, we will write to you with memories,
random thoughts and information about both the 39th and 40th reunion.
The three of us will take turns as we march forward. Holder insisted on
drafting the first letter because, as a feline, he has the closest
ancestry to the beloved Princeton Mascot.

Dear Classmates,
Greetings
from Holder! I hope many of you remember seeing me at the 35th Reunion
where I enjoyed roaring (well meowing, I did my best) to the sounds of
great music, prancing in the P-Rade and reconnecting with so many old
friends.
Mark your calendar for our next reunion:
Our 39th Reunion!
May 31 – June 3, 2018
If you haven’t attended an off year reunion, consider doing so this
year. Reconnect with friends from both ’79 and ’78, enjoy the P-Rade and
attend our Class Luncheon that will likely be held at “Old Dial Lodge”.
We had it there last year and it was a wonderful place for about 50 or
so fellow ’79 Tigers. But let’s have 100 this year! Little known fact –
off year reunions are free!!!
Did you know………we are the only class that has a “Theme” for off year reunions – we’ve had one four years in a row!
Spoiler alert……stay tuned for an official launch to the 40th reunion We Are Family!
Finally, and I suppose because I am a feline, one of the fun things I
did at our last reunion was attend a campus tour. I admit I did not
notice when we were in school, there are literally hundreds of tigers on
the Princeton Campus. We all know the regal tigers in front of Nassau
Hall (they kinda look like me, don’t you think?). But did you ever
notice this one?
Meow, Your Classmate,
Holdie (nickname back in the day)
