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 - information on those will be emailed and posted here..
• We are endeavoring to keep the cost affordable, and as in the past will have some scholarship funds available.
• Classmate Tom Carty is coordinating housing with local classmates - if you can host someone or want a place to stay, email him at tomascarty19@gmail.com 
• The Red Book submission deadline has been extended to December 13 - please respond even if you only want to confirm your address information.  Otherwise, because of privacy regulations,  nothing other than your name and house affiliation will appear.  Go to http://alumni.harvard.edu/55thReport to submit or contact CRO_55thReport@harvard.edu 
• 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.

Compendium of Emails Sent

We now have an email compendium page that collects communications sent to you.  Quickly find any you missed or misplaced! 

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 you 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!

POST-REUNION RESOURCES PAGES

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!

Past Virtual Class Events

A listing of all past virtual classs events is available on the Past Events page.  The brief entries there will take you to separate pages for each where you can learn more and can access the session recordings.  These sessions were very well received, so you should find the recordings interesting and enjoyable to play.
