BTW: Reunion Details And Last Minute Travel/Hotel Deals

ByWayne Willis

The Reunion Committee wants you to have the latest/greatest info on transportation, housing, weather, an updated copy of the program, etc.:

  1. Connecticut Limousine, RIP. For those of you planning on using Connecticut Limousine (vans) to get from NYC airports to New Haven, you’ll have to make other plans.  They just went out of business.  Here are some alternatives.  Leave a comment below with what alternatives you’ve found and cost.  Click on “follow comments” if you want any of these comments/updates sent to you by email.
  2. Last Minute Hotels.  The 4 hotels within walking distance have been booked up for months, but last minute cancellations might open some rooms.  The hotels that offer shuttles to/from Yale (or that are a short Uber/Lyft away) are both available and less expensive.  See this post for phone numbers and details.  Leave a comment below with what alternatives you’ve found and cost.  Click on “follow comments” if you want any of these comments/updates sent to you by email.
  3. Still Room On Campus.  We are in Davenport, and there still are rooms available there.  Here are the details and a  link to booking a room.
  4. Weather and Water.   The forecast looks great.  Perfect temperatures, no rain forecast as of today.  One thing to consider, though: Water.  Yale no longer supplies those cute, little, disposable bottles of water.  I’m bringing one of these bottles:
  5. Venues.   The lectures, seminars, panels and workshops are divided into two categories of “Academic Events”:  Class of ’69 Academic Events, and University Academic Events.  All the Class Academic Events are scheduled for Sprague Hall (College St. and Wall St., if you’ve forgotten).  The University Academic Event are in the locations indicated in the Program (next).
  6. Program.   Here’s a pdf copy of the full program, and here’s a summary version of the program without the “blurbs” (titles only)
  7. Other Reunions. FYI, here are the other classes holding reunions on our weekend:
    • Class of 1964 – Pierson
    • Class of 1974 – Timothy Dwight
    • Class of 1979 – Branford
