The Class of '60 mini reunion in Seattle September 4-7, organized by Sam McKinstry and Frank Montgomery, is quickly approaching. Don't miss the opportunity to visit a magnificant part of the country and enjoy a great weekend of events with your classmates. More , including a list of the classmates already registered.

Iliana and Bill Sachs hosted a brunch for Sachs Scholars on the Sunday following Reunions. Pictures

[attendees]
Our class enjoyed a relatively huge turnout at our 48th Reunion, due probably or possibly to Evan Bush's soliciting participation in an early meeting of the 50th Reunion Planning Committee, followed by a Class Lunch at the Nassau Club. Lunch featured a delicious tilapia entree and the presence of several wives, who toned down the occasional rowdiness of the preceding Reunion Planning Meeting. So many people wanted to attend that we were forced to move some into an overflow room. An incredible downpour at noon cleared up before 2pm, allowing a dry and festive P-Rade. Classmates seen somewhere included Becton, Barth, Beaver, Briggs, Bush, Conway, Detjens, Harris, Hopper, Keller, Kramer, Lippincott, McGlynn, Major, Maloney, Seabring, Southwell, Tellander, Williamson, Willard, and Wing, plus Joan Sachs Shaw, along with assorted spouses, partners, children, and even grandchildren.
Tex Harris took many pictures and has made them available here .

Quenby Williamson, wife of our classmate Peter, died on 11 June 2007. Quenby was responsible for designing and producing our 30th Reunion costume, which we have used, with her help, ever since.
[It is Class policy to announce on the website deaths only of classmates, and then only by listing (as at the bottom of this page), leaving comments to the obituaries appearing in PAW. In this case, we have deliberately bypassed that policy.]

Eighteen members of the Class, plus Joan Sachs Shaw and various wives, attended Reunions 2007. More

Our Treasurer, John Cartier, writes soliciting increased support (both financial and otherwise) for the Class. The letter is here ; a PDF version is here .

Philip Detjens reports as follows on Alumni Day:

I was honored and privileged to represent the Class of 1960 at the Service of Remembrance

The 22 November 2006 issue of PAW contains a letter from Webster Wheelock attacking President Tilghman’s characterization of Princeton during President Goheen’s early years (which coincided with our years, admittedly relatively placid) as “a largely homogeneous college of modest aspirations.” His letter is here .

PAW recently profiled President Emeritus Robert Goheen here . An excerpt from a four-hour video interview is here .

Joe Healey, who left our class after Junior Year to go into the Maryknoll Missionary Priesthood, and since then has been in East Africa, was prompted by President Phil Becton’s letter this fall to write and reconnect with the class. You may read his email here .

[More]
