Class Dinner During ReunionsJoin with your classmates for the second annual off-year Class Dinner at Reunions. Last year a great time was had by all attendees. BUT WE NEED YOUR RSVP ASAP as we have to turn in a count by May 5. The dinner will be in the Wu Hall Dining Room, part of Butler College (just to the west of Wilcox Hall, Wilson College and north of the defunct New New Quad). If you are bringing a guest/spouse, please update the count and include their name(s) in the comment box. RSVP here. |
One item I thought you would find interesting, and perhaps a bit reminiscent of Reunions in our early (?younger) days, appeared in the June issue of Gentleman's Quarterly. No, I don't read this, but my wife was told about it and reported back. Read it here.

A Day in the Vines with '79 Princeton Class of '79 Trip to Napa Valley |
||
As you read in the class letter, classmate David Parker, founder and CEO of Brentwood Wine Company, volunteered to arrange a weekend of winery tours and tasting in Napa Valley, California. This was attended by a number of classmates with spouses and families. A great time was had by all. Benson Tongue sent along an annotated photo album. You should check it out! |
Reunions 2006 |
It may still be cold outside (at least in Princeton), but Reunions are not that far away! Make your plans now to join us in June in Princeton for our 27th Reunion. We are planning a class lunch Saturday before the P-rade, probably on the Wilcox patio as we did last year. Watch this space for further details. Here is the tentative Reunion Activities Schedule for the Class of '81, with whom we are a satellite. As has been our tradition, reunion attendance is free to those classmates whose dues are paid. If you are not sure if you have paid your dues, click here for the list. |
Alumni Day -- February 25, 2006 |
We had a good turnout at Alumni Day this year. The following classmates were present: President Diane Hasling, Hank Lubin, Gary King, Bob Largey and wife Marianne, Greer Phillips, John Courier, Margarite Hadley Vera, Wheezie Sams, Yuan Shih and family, Ellen Lack Wright and family, Mark Hornung and Simone Schloss. Jim Sturm of the Engineering School was a panelist for a session entitled "Critical Issues for Intellectual Property."
As part of the Alumni Day program, the Service of Remembrance in the Chapel honored four of our classmates lost this year. Classmate Phil Rogers suffered a stroke on December 26 and died December 31, 2005. In his memory, Phil's family has created the Phil Rogers Rugby Prize in his honor, to be given each year to the junior member of the team who has done the most for Princeton Rugby. You can donate to the fund by sending contributions to: The Philip Alan Rogers Memorial Rugby Fund, C/0 Andrea Baumann Lustig, Stralem & Company, Inc., 645 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022. Andrea can also be reached by email. Also, Dwight Coleman, David Hackley and Charles Wilson died during the past year and were remembered at the Service. After the Service of Remembrance, we joined with the classes of 1976-1978 in hosting a reception in the Chancellor Green Cafe (formerly the Chancellor Green Student Center). They have done an amazing job renovating all of East Pyne; I did not even recognize the inside of the building. |
