1/16/16 Dear Classmates and Associates, Happy New Year from your 55th Reunion committee! 2016 is upon us and May 26 is just a few months away - when we expect an excellent turnout for our next major. Registrations are arriving at a good clip, as listed on the "Who's Coming?" page of our class website, www.princeton61.org. Our November letter and registration forms contain all you need to know about the reunion, and the registration process is easy, using the paper forms or on the website. On line registrations are easiest for us to process, and payment options include your personal check, but if you prefer hard copy, fine. Call Lee Blyler (908-672-8505) if you need a registration form. Early registration is most helpful, as it allows time to order clothing items in the right sizes! 1. New Blazers - If you need a new blazer, please
order by February 15th latest to allow time for custom manufacturing. You
can supply your size and make the payment through the registration system. It
will be shipped directly to your home address, so please make sure it is entered
correctly when you register. 2. Housing - We encourage you to book early, as
relatively inexpensive housing is limited. As mentioned above, details are
available in our November letter and on the 55th reunion housing
page on the class website. 24 beds on campus are still available, and 14
more at the nearby Princeton Theological seminary. These are the most economical
housing options. Route 1 motel rooms, served by the "Tiger Transit" shuttle bus,
are also available at market prices, but our hold on these rooms begins to
expire on Feb. 1. So please book early to ensure convenient housing for
reunions. Call Joe McGinity (215-595-6995) with any housing
questions. 3. Lottery for waiver of reunion fees - If you
register on or before Feb. 29, you will be entered in our "free reunion"
lottery. The lottery drawing will be held Friday night of reunions, May 27, and
the winner will have all his reunion fees refunded. (It's not the Power Ball
Jackpot, but it helps!) 4. Our class forum - On Friday afternoon of reunions we plan to hold a '61 forum on living a fulfilling life in our '70's and 80's. Our initial focus is on how in various ways we and our spouses find fulfillment in our activities, our teaching or studies, and our charitable endeavors. We are looking for thoughts and comments on the theme and sub-topics. Also, we need classmates to serve as panelists and a moderator. Please address your suggestions and questions to George Barker '61, 10313 Wild Lake Terrace, Columbia MD, 21044, or geebark@aol.com. We expect the forum to be lively and engaging for all, including associates, spouses and guests. We hope to see you in May! Peter Pettibone
Better Site For UsOctober 22, 2015  The headquarters site for the last two 55th reunions had been located in
the space between Campbell and Richardson Halls. While this site had the
advantage of being close to the start of the P-rade, many on the reunion
committee felt it was cramped and suggested that we should move the site to a
location that would give us more room and would be better laid out. The Office
of Alumni Affairs has granted our request and has assigned us Scully Courtyard
as our headquarters site for our 55th. Scully was the 55th reunion site
for the class of 1958, and it was also the headquarters site for our 40th
reunion. Scully is located near the end of the P-rade, and is just a short walk
to a shuttle bus stop for access to all reunion events. It is reasonably close
to parking, and for those staying on-campus, the rooms in Scully are air
conditioned.
