The illustrious Reunion Committee unanimously felt that we all wear coats and ties often enough, so the reunion will be casual throughout (leave the ties at home).

There is bound to be a good deal of interest in both golf and tennis-we could use a chairman for each of these sports.

Golf will probably only be available Friday, so think about a Thursday arrival if your plans include a round.

A number of meetings have already been held to flesh out a program. We would love to have suggestions as to speakers, topics, events, etc.

Prepare for the onslaught of Reunionrelated mailings, and start saving now for a great time in a lovely spot with a terrific bunch of folks who know many of your darkest secrets and wildest dreams.

That's all for now. We'll be back in February.
