Exciting news! I am thrilled to confirm that we will be holding our 50th reunion from June 2 through June 5, headquartered at Davenport College. Around the end of the month you will receive an invitation to register online with details about our program and logistics. Keep a lookout for my email.

The YAA has been working closely with the Yale Covid task force to make sure we can gather safely in person. At this time we can envision some Covid protocols being in place including wearing masks. It is certain that vaccinations, including boosters, will be required for all attendees. We do not anticipate any limitations on the capacity of our tent or Sprague Hall, where we will hold our class programming. We will update you about any significant changes in the Yale Covid guidelines.

Personally, I am anticipating a joyful and meaningful gathering not unlike previous reunions–with great conversation, ample food and drink, and terrific music. I am grateful for the hard work of my fellow reunion co-chairs Cynthia Brill, Andrew Capitman, and Connie Royster, together with class officers Frank Krejci and Bill Fowkes and a talented group of classmate volunteers. We have had to deal with all of the uncertainties of the pandemic and are delighted that we have been able to reach this point.

Stay tuned for my email at the end of the month announcing registration.
