Reunion has already begun!

In the coming weeks and months you will be contacted by classmates describing themselves as “ambassadors.” They are NOT fundraising. They want you!

These gracious volunteers have a singular mission: to persuade you return to the big one—The 50th Reunion. 

Your presence is really important to them, and to our class. They have all the information you need for registration, housing, travel, and, if necessary, financial and other support. It’s every ambassador’s goal to encourage and guide you back to Williamstown for this momentous life event.

Each ambassador was asked to pick half their contact list from old friends, and half from people they wished they knew better. Not a single name was “assigned“. 

If an ambassador is calling you it’s because they wanted to speak to you. And see you at Reunion, June 12-15, 2025!

A dinner surprise in Costa Rica

From John Berringer '76:

On a recent trip to Costa Rica to celebrate various 70th birthdays, the woman we rented our house from recommended Sunset Catering in Tamarindo. To our great surprise, we discovered it was owned and operated by Richard MacSherry, Class of 1975. Our dinner, prepared by Richard and his wife, was delicious and lots of fun.

Here's a photo of the occasion, with (left to right) John, Rob Cramer '76, Richard, and Peter Larson '74.
