Dear Classmates, Your Reunion Committee has been meeting by phone throughout the fall, and we hope you will all come back for our 35th Reunion, May 29 - June 1, 2008! Our 35th Reunion Committee Members are: Steve Levenson, Pam McDermott, Jennifer Allen (our class president), Wadi Sawabini (Vice President), Martha Griffin Baker, Gene Beaudoin, Kathryn Boardman, Ted Dudley, Joe Fowler, Deborah Mesce, Nancy Morse, Louise McCormick Sharp, Miles Susskind, and Lynda Darling Waltein. The important message from the Reunion Committee is that we are creating a really fun weekend for our local and out of state classmates. The weekend actually begins on Thursday May 29th and if you can come early, bring your dancing shoes because the UVM Lane Series has booked the Spanish Harlem Orchestra which will play at the new Davis Student Center to open the weekend. There will be a number of other "all-class" activities throughout the weekend, including UVM professor lectures and a visiting lecture by Dr. Miriam Nelson '83, author of the Strong Women book series. Friday night there will be a Taste of Vermont dinner, and on Saturday, we (just '73!) will venture down to Perkins Pier on the Lake for a dockside cocktail reception and a dinner/dancing cruise on Northern Lights (http://www.lakechamplaincruises.com/). Get ready for a wonderful evening cruise on Lake Champlain where we can listen and dance to 60s/70s tunes of our choice throughout the evening. So, come back to Vermont May 29-June 1 for Reunion Weekend and meet up with old friends and discover a new campus and downtown if you haven't been back to Burlington recently.
