The 55th Reunion With the Branford courtyard as our home base, we reaquainted ourselves with the Yale of today in which so much has changed and yet so much of the Yale we remembered has stayed the same. The University pulled out all the stops in providing us with tours and an outstanding roster of talks by the university's most knowledgable and entertaining professors. We broke up into "interest groups" in which we could compare notes with other classmates who share our interest in hobbies, pastimes and philanthropies.

The 2005 Mini-Reunion in Santa Fe Our classmates who make their homes in Santa Fe (Gerry Hotchkiss, Ed Hastings and Dave Ingalls) put together a Mini-Reunion for us that showed Santa Fe at its best. Indian and folk museums, old Spanish Cathedrals, indian pueblos, a backstage tour of the magnificent open-air Santa Fe Opera House - we savored it all.

The Big Five-Oh  Happy to be alive after all these years, no longer competing in the rat race, our classmates returned to New Haven where "as freshmen first we came to Yale." Where we had studied mightily (or perhaps a little less) and partied some (or perhaps a little more) and practiced all those "coming of age" rituals that shaped our later careers and made us what we are today.

• 50th Reunion Photos There's no doubt that a good time was had by all. These photos offer "proof positive."
• Class of '52 Artists and Authors  Elegantly presented at the Sterling Memorial Library from May 31 to July 31, 2002, this exhibit showcased the intellectual and esthetic achievements of our classmates.
• Class Memorial Service  The Class Memorial Service at Woolsey Hall was conducted by Rev. Dr. Phil Parham and Rev. Anne Kimball (Mrs. Richard Kimball), with readings by several class members or relatives, to remember and to honor those of our class who are no longer with us.
