40th Reunion HIGHLIGHTS


Welcome to your 40th Reunion, HR1981!

Remember hanging around the dining hall and just chatting? While our reunion this year is all virtual, we are bringing back that connection by taking advantage of the new format to meet up easily and frequently. Long boring Zoom webinars? NOPE! Drop in to hear what our classmates are experiencing on a wide range of topics and meet in small-group breakouts: our virtual dining hall. Rally your ’81 pod and join us!
Warm Regards,
HR1981 Reunion Committee, and Co-Chairs Susan Israel, Barbara Watson, Kate (Elliott) Scherlis, Dan Scherlis, Guy Fish, Patric Verrone
