Class Note 1988
Issue
March - April 2024
Hello, ’88s!
Get excited because this column is all about our reunion this June, and it comes to you from reunion co-chairs Cindy Smith Wilson and Stephanie Welsch-Lewin.
They write: “We know for many of us it is cold and snowy outside, but June will be here before we know it and we will be reunited on the Hanover Plain. The entire reunion committee—including Jevin and Janine Eagle, Kim Fasolo-Lomonaco, Mary Flounders Green, Margie Gibson, Regina Glocker, Todd Jackson, Jere Mancini, Gregg “Aldo” Nourjian, John Replogle, Luzmila “Luzi” Robinson, Jacques Steinberg, Tom Ward, and many others—has been working hard to make this the best reunion ever, and we hope you will be inspired to attend, reconnect, and enjoy some time with your wonderful classmates.
“Reunion registration information will be hitting your email soon or feel free to email us with any questions (d88reunion@gmail.com).
“What will be happening at the reunion? We will enjoy a fully packed schedule from Thursday, June 13, through Sunday, June 16, with your survey responses guiding the reunion committee as to what will be offered.
“So far, the plans include yoga, meditation, a scavenger hunt, morning walks, an insider’s look at our class service project with Dartmouth Partners in Community Service, and our class memorial service. And, yes, the storytelling event from our last reunion was such a huge hit that it will be back. We are excited to hear our classmates’ stories about how Dartmouth and our Dartmouth family have enriched their lives. Our stories will be complemented by shared perspectives from Dartmouth faculty. Come share these powerful moments with your classmates. Another popular event from our last reunion was the silent disco, which will be back for this reunion on Saturday night. So pack your dancing shoes or alternatively you can enjoy the quieter seating areas available for those wanting to catch up with classmates.
“We also will eat and drink very well all weekend. The committee is planning wonderful meals and wants to make sure to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and any food allergies. You can note such requests in your registration responses. We will have fantastic swag options as well that we know you will love.
“At least some of us will need to sleep during reunion weekend, and the reunion registration will offer the option to stay in the dorms. We expect to be assigned a prime dorm location close to our tent on the Gold Coast, so you can be at the center of the reunion action.
“We hope you feel as excited about this reunion as we do, and we look forward to seeing you in June, whether you are a veteran reunion attendee or it will be your first time back in Hanover since graduation. Come one and all ’88s—you are most definitely welcome and wanted at this reunion!”
Thanks, Steph and Cindy, for this information and for serving as reunion co-chairs!
