I love podcasts. I listen to them when walking. I listened to them when driving, before being grounded by stay-at-home orders, that is.
I’m curious, though: What’s YOUR experience with podcasts? Are you a frequent listener? A podcaster?
Are podcasts moving into the mainstream far enough to reach educated Boomers like us?
To that end, please answer the following 2-minute survey. I’ll “close” the survey and […]
Editor’s Note: This is the first instance of organizing a “shared interest group” (SIG) within Yale 1969. (More about SIGs on Yale1969.org here.)
This post is Doug Leonard’s proposal for a discussion (and action!) group of Yale ’69 classmates who want to have a real, positive impact on society. Click through to learn more … and take action!
Editor’s Note: What follows are the minutes of the first meeting.
Still energized by last Spring’s memorable 50th Reunion, the first official post-Reunion Class Council meeting was called to order by Secretary Art Segal at 4:00 PM EST on Saturday, February 15, 2020.
Attending were Andy Schnier, Bruce Mazo, Dan Seiver, Dave Howorth, Derry Allen, Harold Mancusi-Ungaro, John O’Leary, Ken Davis, Mike Folz, Mike […]
Normally, on the Sunday morning of Reunion Weekend, classmates interested in guiding our Class activities for the next 5 years determine membership on our “Class Council.” That Council then selects the leaders for the upcoming year(s). Last summer that did not happen. So, in September, Ken Brown and I called for volunteers to step forward…
Dear Classmates, Am I the only member of our class who is expecting a baby? I don’t know anyone my age who is about to become a father; but I do know that it’s very important for people our age to have a future, and to help shape and preserve that future. Our baby girl…
Classmate Matthew Collins has been found! And guess what? His home address is the one he had when he came to New Haven in 1965, Hurricane Katrina notwithstanding. Please check out his profile page and, if he hasn’t entered anything yet, send him an email. Prodding from classmates is very effective.
When I graduated from Yale with a BS in Physics, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do after that. Period. Grad school in physics? Not likely, wasn’t smart enough, didn’t want to teach, not a good job market, etc. So, I got a job as an engineer programming a computer to design acoustic lenses using ray tracing. It was not a bad job: congenial co-workers, definite applications to oceanography, and I could easily make use of computer programming …
In the course of our 50th Reunion activities, we were reminded in casual but animated conversation during our Class Dinner, that University Commons is being completely renovated into a campus-wide student center, including its traditional role as the principal dining hall for the university. First, some history. University Commons (1902) is part of the Yale…
The final numbers are in from the YAA, and Silliman outpaced everyone, holding off late surges by Morse and Branford. Final results (classmates attending divided by living classmates per college):

70% of the people who have signed up for the reunion are coming on Thursday, most in time for the Thursday afternoon events. That’s VERY smart. Here’s why. And here’s how you can modify your reservation if you were coming on Friday or Saturday and now want to come earlier.
Editor’s Summary: The ONLY way to register for the reunion (and on-campus housing) is to go to the Registration Page and sign up. No smailmail is coming.
The Reunion Committee is delighted with the pace of reservations. According to the statistics from the Yale Alumni Association, we are running at or ahead of recent Yale Classes and their 50th Reunion attendance registrations.
“Yale decided that online registration …
Stephen Herseth and his wife, Mary Jo, hosted a “mini-reunion” in February, and this one had an unusual twist. Steve showcased an impressive collection of trumpets, collected by his late father, who for 54 years was First Trumpet at the Chicago Symphony orchestra. The current Second Trumpet from the CSO attended and played excerpts from some of the better-known trumpet repertoire of the CSO. (Steve plans to donate the collection to Yale for use by current students.)
Attending were John Darrow and Jill Kirk, Terry Light and …
