Class Note 1978. Our Sophomore Summer was 50 years ago. I asked you what were the high points: taking a new course, finding love, skinny-dipping off the Ledyard docks? As always, you delivered.
Class Note 1978. Most of us are nearly halfway through our 70th year on the planet. This is no small achievement, and it deserves a celebration, “Carpe D’78” style.
Class Note 1978. Happy New Year, or, more to the point, “Happy Year That Most of the Class of 1978 Turns 70.” I know that celebrations must be in the works, and I’d love to include reports on them in Class Notes, so please keep me in
