I am just back from New Haven where I attended our 45th Class Reunion. I was delighted to see so many old friends, to meet so many new ones — and to welcome some for whom this was their first-ever Yale reunion attended.
All of us thank co-chairs Ken Freeman and Jean Brenner for the obviously huge amount of thought and work that went into planning and executing this memorable event. Class Secretary-for-Life Andy Kaufman proved a yeoman “head of ceremonies” (no more masters, please!) on Saturday night.
One of the highlights — and there were so many — was the survey conducted by Rick Cech and Barbara Blaine. As those of you who attended their lively and absorbing presentation know, there was simply too much to absorb in one sitting. We will have the full deck posted here soon.
With warm regards,
Tim Powell

I completely agree and thoroughly enjoyed being your roommate for the weekend.

Thanks for your kind words, Tim and Andy. I’m glad you enjoyed yourselves, and I’m sure Ken is, too.
And it was sweet, in the original sense of the word, to reconnect with Tim and so many others. It created a positive glow for all of us there, and those glows can be hard to come by. How many people get to have this kind of experience–learning about the lives of people with whom we shared a common experience in an extraordinary time? And the dancing!! It was just pure fun!
