Come One, Come All - it's reunion time at Yale and this is no ordinary reunion but our 70th. Don't miss it.
JE will be our home base, the place to register, relax and have breakfast and lunch. There will be the usual array of tempting Yale lectures and campus tours as well as two Class of 1953 dinners.
Did we say it's free? You pay for your hotel and travel but otherwise Yale picks up all the other expenses, including the Class dinners. Good, old Mother Yale.
This is a once in a lifetime event. Don't let it slip away (or as Marvin would say, Carpe Diem). Come carouse and reminisce with friends of over 70 years. Make more merrier.
