Our 55th is now!

We are one hundred strong (classmates and companions) as we head toward Williamstown to be born again.

Main events and highlights listed below.

For the trivialistas among us, we've provided a short warmup quiz. You may wish to limber up for the sessions with Bob Heiss and Howard Steinberg.

Can't make it to the reunion? Three of our sessions will be broadcast via Zoom (link to be emailed by Reunion Co-Chair Mike Herlihy). They will also find their way to the Class of 1968 YouTube channel, post Reunion.

Details on those sessions below, but do check our custom crafted Reunion Calendar which can expand to view the entire College schedule. And retract, for more focused viewing ;>.

And please don't go away. We'll have a full Reunion Report together with photos (we believe that journalist John Stickney will be repeating the favor he granted us for the 50th). Beyond that, please be aware that we have much more material to send your way before the end of the year.

Happy Reunion to all from the Williams 68 Web Team!

There will be trivia! Paraphrasing filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, there will be trivia, a lot more, focused on music of our era, at our 55th. Steinberg and Heiss in charge. In the meantime, consider this a warmup exercise, with focus largely on the later Sixties and beyond.
