55th Reunion - 6/4-6/2025 - Planning Underway
The reunion committee is diligently working to make our 55th reunion an event you will relish, find interesting, and remember! Though many specifics are being negotiated and nailed down, they will include a cabaret night, two other evening events, the memorial service, and several symposia. There will be ample time for relaxed conversation. Events will begin at lunch on Wednesday June 4 and continue through dinner Friday evening June 6. Note that Harvard Alumni day is the 6th.
- A hotel room block is being arranged.
- We are planning several pre-reunion Zoom sessions like last time - more information will follow on those soon.
- We are endeavoring to keep the cost affordable, and as in the past will have some scholarship funds available.
- Red Book submissions are due November 12 - please respond even if you only want to confirm your address information. Otherwise nothing other than your name and house affiliation will appear.
- Most communications will be sent via email - so please be sure Harvard has your latest contact information!. (See below for details.)
More details will appear here and in your email inbox in coming weeks and months.
Pre-reunion Zoom: Kathy Cade on October 9, 7PM Eastern
A recording of this event will be posted shortly.
Classmate Kathy Cade played a pivotal role in establishing the modern Office of the First Lady, serving as a key advisor to Rosalynn Carter in the White House and continuing in that role until Mrs. Carter’s death in November 2023. She has been deeply involved in Carter Center activities over the years and still serves on the Carter Center board. While pursuing an investment banking career at the largest regional bank in New England, Kathy also stayed connected to her community as a trustee for organizations working on children’s mental health, public health and reproductive health services. (Early visions of pursuing a career in medicine never materialized, but she managed to engage in a different way!)
Other Zoom events are in the works - stay tuned!

A joint 75th birthday party was held with the class of 1971 on Saturday March 9, 2024 at 7 PM at the Barker Center (that was the Freshman Union in our day). Food, music, and plenty of opportunities to chat made for a great evening together.
EMAIL Messages
We are communicating almost exclusively by email for class-related messages. Very little information will be sent via USMail anymore. If you are not getting emails from us and want to be notified of class events, go to www.hr70.org/email/ to provide us your email address.
Harvard Key - for Protected Pages
You need a "Harvard Key" account with ID and password in order to access many of the materials on this web site. If you don't have one yet you will have to set one up. If have any difficulty at all setting yours up, or using the account you already have, or logging in to access the protected pages, please contact David Siktberg '70 at dsiktberg@post.harvard.edu as a first step in getting help. Harvard also has staff that will help with this. The process can be confusing / tricky, so if anything does not work smoothly for you, please reach out for help sooner rather than later.
52nd Reunion - 2022!
Our delayed 50th reunion brought over 300 classmates and spouses to Cambridge on June 16-19, 2022 for a long weekend of enjoyment, growth, entertainment, and good conversation. Old friendships were renewed and new ones made. Summary materials are being posted on this page over the next few weeks. It currently has a link to a video of the Memorial Service video, a moving occasion. (Other events were not recorded due to technical limitations.) Whether you attended or not, these pages should be informative and useful.
Looking to the future, there was widespread support for continuing our Zoom sessions in coming months and years - stay tuned, and let us know if you have ideas for topics to cover!
