Harvard-Radcliffe Class of 1978

Now and Then

Let's celebrate our Reunion by also celebrating who we are Now and who we were Then. Now and Then. We are preparing a gallery that depends on your sending us those memorable pictures of you as you are Now and and also Then as a student or even at an earlier reunion. It is a fitting tribute to how far we've come. Also we have some highlights to share below of Pre-Reunion events. Take a look and let's all celebrate. Join the Reunion Facebook group for more details on how to send those pictures! Please help us identify everyone.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE REUNION....PRE-REUNION HIGHLIGHTS

July 18: New York

12 intrepid members of the HR Class of 1978 made it across bridges and tunnels and avenues to midtown for dinner at the Harvard Club of New York (July 18), where a special menu had been prepared to tempt us. Although many of us did not know each other before, from the moment we met near the bar, to when we shut the restaurant down, conversation flowed freely. It was a group including internationalists, historians, conversationalists. We were micro-biologists, lawyers, editors, educators, and more. I met Betsy Gootrad – who turned out to have been at the American School of Paris before me, and to have many dear friends in common! The size of the group was ideal, we had gender balance, and were age-relaxed. I think everyone left having had a good time! Many are coming to the reunion, including one or two who were not so sure beforehand.

July 22: Durham, NC
