Welcome to the Yale Class of 1959 Website.
THURSDAY, MAY 23 to SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2024
Don Watson and his committee have done a great job lining up talent and events for our 65th Reunion next May. Headquarters will be Jonathan Edwards College. Hotel reservations will be available at the Omni, with bus service provided to and from Reunion events and venues.
Here are some of the anticipated highlights:
• Our Kick-Off event will be a talk by Professor Guido Calebresi
• Richard Maltby and David Shire will present a review of their current Pre-Broadway show.
• Anne Applebaum, noted author, cable news analyst and daughter of classmate Harvey Applebaum will be a guest speaker
• Music will be provided by classmate Alki Scopelitis and the Bales & Gitlin Band.
• And of course, the opportunity to connect and re-connect with classmates as we celebrate and enjoy sharing memories of our Yale undergraduate days, and life after Yale.
Be on the lookout for the announcement from Yale with registration and hotel information, and by all means, SAVE THE DATE!
