Dear Classmates—

For the first time since 2022, when we held our Covid-postponed 65th reunion, we finally have the wonderful opportunity to gather together in person in New Haven for our Yale College Class of 1956 70th Reunion!

While our Class has managed to stay closely connected over the past few years through our Zoom calls and Yale '56 Talks, Class Notes, Class Website, and other outreach, there’s nothing like seeing one another face-to-face.

Register now and plan to join us!
