Class of 1953

Author's

The 55th Reunion of the Class of 1953 will be May 16-18, 2008!

By now, you should have received several mailings about our upcoming 55th Reunion, May 16-18.

As of today, we have received only a few reservations. There were 86 of you at our 50th reunion, and we were hoping to see at least 50 of you this year.

One of the reasons we need your prompt response is to facilitate ordering our class uniforms: the khaki "bucket" hat and pocket patch. The balance of our uniform is the same as our 50th: black (or navy blue) blazer, khaki slacks, light colored shirt, and red and black striped tie.
