Saturday, November 15, 2008: "Tailgate" gathering.  

Princeton-Yale Football Game >>> Go Tigers!

Gametime: Noon.

Classmates will gather in New Haven to attend the football game, and Judy and Hank Sykes will host the group for some post-game libation at their home.

Hank writes:

"Judy and I are looking forward to seeing you at the game and afterwards at our house for good cheer and cocktails. Note that the game is at noon, so we are likely assembling at 76 McKinley Avenue around 3PM. Judy and I will absorb the costs. If there's a desire to order in some famous New Haven pizza, or go somewhere for dinner, we can figure out how to handle it on the fly.

Parking at our house and walking the short distance to the Yale Bowl is a good option. I'll send directions in advance.

So I can place a group order through the Princeton ticket office, I need to know how many tickets to order byMonday, 27 October."  

Tickets are $18 each, and we can pay him when we arrive for the game.                                         Email hank.sykes@comcast.net and let him know!

Who was there?

The game didn't turn out very well, but the rain held off for almost the whole game, and then we had a very pleasant gathering hosted by the Sykes. The wine and the good company easily overcame the football results.
