My favorite poet, William Butler Yeats, penned a poem which I long ago committed to memory: "When You are Old." It inspires me to this day, and hopefully will reveal to you the purpose and reason behind our 35th Reunion Weekend next summer. It begins, "When you are old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire…"
These lines suggest a comfort in old age. The poem also briefly traces the journey from youth to old age. It suggests we need to gather as many beautiful memories as we can during our short time on this planet. I hope this Reunion becomes just such a recollection for us all.
The Saturday night party will be held at the Marriott in Park Ridge, NJ on July 21st 2012 starting at 7PM.
Tickets are $95 and may be purchased online via our web site with a credit card or a PayPal account.
Rooms for both Friday and Saturday nights are $99.
More details regarding deadlines will be posted on our web site and on Facebook. Hope you all can make it.
