To the Grand Class of 1969:
I thought this weekend might be an opportune time to touch base with the Class since the rivalry with Choate has endured longer than any other school tradition. On the whole, the results on Saturday were excellent. The only fly in the ointment was the loss to an undefeated Choate football team which built an insurmountable lead before the first half ended. That said, the football team had an excellent year, ending the season 6-3.
As you all know, we are approaching our 55th reunion June 7-9. There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen who made the 50th Reunion such a success, and many of them will be doing a reprise next year. I am hopeful that we can organize an independent program with presenters similar to what we did in 2019 and also find a way to recognize those who are no longer with us. There is no unifying class gift that we will be soliciting as there was when we replaced the Union Soldier on Main Street, but I know I will be interested in seeing how the replica has weathered over the past five years.
Please reach out to me or to our indefatigable Attendance Chair Lacey if you have suggestions for what you would like to see at our 55th reunion. In considering reasons why you should attend, you may wish to watch this short video I clipped from the school website: https://vimeo.com/536808625
All the best.

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all in advance.
