55-year Class Reunion Planning Thoughts
Yes, we have begun planning a Class of 1960 Reunion to commemorate 55 years of life after the Academy. Unlike previous reunions, we are planning to keep this one fairly simple with as little movement as possible.
- We are planning to meet the 1st weekend in October [AF—Navy football game (AWAY)]
- The class will headquarter at the Embassy Suites.
- Arrive Thursday 1 October and check in Happy Hour & Dinner on your own
- Friday, 2 October, morning, lunch, & early afternoon at Arnold Hall with Memorial service at Cadet Chapel at 1500 hrs. dinner at Embassy Suites,
- Saturday, 3 October, early class meeting, Tour of Vietnam/SEA Pavilion, lunch at stadium Press Box with AF-Navy on TV, Dinner at Embassy Suites.
- Sunday, Open House @ Jack & Elaine Brush's home.
- If you plan to come early, let me know. Becke Fries has asked that George's remains be interred during our reunion. We plan to offer Thursday afternoon (1400 hrs. 1 October) for that ceremony.
- We are planning no class gift or registration gift, just the opportunity to re-connect a la most university homecomings.
- We recognize we are not all as mobile as we were so are intentionally holding individual movement and exposure to minimums.
NOTES:
- The main reason to schedule a class meeting is to elect back-ups for the class leadership—so give it some thought. As we age, in an effort to preserve class leadership continuity, we suggest electing a "shadow" for each leadership position to step into any leadership position (President, Vice President, Secretary/Scribe, Treasurer, & Class Senator if left vacant. It will also provide opportunity for your feedback, ideas, and suggestions. Should you have any issue you wish to have considered, please take advantage of this opportunity.
- Although we will attempt to accommodate any and all physical limitations, and we have tried to limit movement as best we can, remember the environment and do what is necessary to allow full participation. (We hope to be able to provide personal auto parking close to Arnold Hall, provide limited golf cart transportation between Arnold Hall and the chapel, and park close to the stadium press box.) You know your limitations better than we do; so, ensure adequate support if you need it, and let us know.
- A tentative reunion agenda has been developed. Further updates and details will be noted on the class website.
