| September 2026 Dear Classmate, Having navigated your 80th birthday (all but a dozen 67 ‘ers have), I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and spirits. This is an especially timely greeting as we launch activities associated with our 60th reunion. But first, I’d like to reflect on our recent accomplishments: ’67 Silicon Valley ’26 – another outstanding mega mini-reunion; continuation of our outstanding webinar series; off-year AG leadership and expanded memorial communication…all aimed at enhancing relationships leading to our 60th reunion (May 2027). Upcoming events ‘67’s 60th Reunion In May we’ll gather for our 60th reunion. While the details will be forthcoming in other communications, we have designed this event to leverage the outstanding experience classmates have enjoyed in our five mega mini reunions. We are hosting a pre-reunion mini at the Nassau Inn Tuesday and Wednesday of reunions (more details forthcoming). Among other highlights of the 60th will be a class reception at the amazing Princeton Art Museum and the award-winning ’67 P-rade final act. Karl (Pepper) Pettit and his team working the major are augmented by Dave Martin and John Clastor working the pre-reunion Class webinars With over 40 events to date, our engaging webinar series continues in excellence and participation. The Fall webinar series: - in October, a panel discussion of the Honor Code featuring student leaders and faculty moderated by Frank Strasburger (read Frank’s insightful article in the September 1st edition of the Princetonian – “Can honor survive the 21st century”).
- In November, Ruthie (Whipple) Hillelson will discuss her recently published – The Right Side of Wrong, Renegades Against the Reich. The gripping saga of her family’s struggles and perseverance in the face of unimageable horror during WWII.
67th Day – Gather Anywhare We will hold a special class webinar (with a nationally recognized speaker) and organize meetings around the week of March 8, 2027. Annual Giving Once again ‘67 has shown how Mighty it is. For our 59th AG we bested last year’s participation and giving … reaching 55.8% and $500,132. This positions us to make our 60th significant…especially in participation. Special thanks to our Class Agents, Marty Eichelberger and Sadler Poe. Class Dues and PICS Please respond to Treasurer Art Bowen’s enclosed letter for dues, and please consider an additional contribution to the great organization that the class has supported for many years – Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS). PICS provides civic service internships, has a very successful record, is well organized, and Marty Eichelberger is a board member. The undergraduates we sponsor have great internships and are very thankful for your support. Finally, please reach out to me with any suggestions or feedback. Stay sane, stay safe and connect with your Class. GO TIGERS!! Tom Amato President, Mighty Class of 1967 [Click to email Tom] Summer 2026 August 7, 2026
Dear Classmate,
Our 60th reunion next May promises to be the first of its kind in Princeton reunion history—and you won’t want to miss it! In this letter, I want to provide you a glimpse of our plans for the week of reunions next May and invite your thoughts.
For the first time, our reunion will begin early—on Tuesday (May 18) of reunions week—with an exclusive series of class-only events centered at the Nassau Inn. We have negotiated an exceptional room rate at the Inn of $277 per night for Tuesday and Wednesday nights (May 18-19, as well as Monday the 17th for early arrivals), giving us three relaxing days to reconnect before the crowds arrive on campus. During Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday you'll enjoy an outstanding lineup of programs designed exclusively for our class. We’ll engage with old friends, renew the remarkable spirit that has always defined the Mighty Class of 1967, and spend time together in a comfortable setting before the University’s official festivities get underway. Beginning on Thursday (May 20), we’ll transition seamlessly into Princeton’s traditional reunion celebration, with on-campus housing and specially arranged hotel accommodations for our class at nearby hotels (more on this later).
Why Start Reunions Early?
This idea grew out of the tremendous success of our series of mini-reunions—in Gettysburg, New York City, Nashville, Washington, D.C., and Silicon Valley. Each one of these gatherings brought classmates and spouses together for stimulating programs, memorable conversations, and the chance to build and strengthen friendships in an intimate setting. We intend to expand on that tradition next May by hosting an event with the proven appeal of a mini-reunion immediately prior to our larger, traditional reunion. Your Class leadership believes this will be the most memorable reunion our Class has ever enjoyed.
Highlights Already Taking Shape
Engaging, class-only presentations by distinguished speakers. Behind-the-scenes perspectives on Princeton's history and today’s campus. Updates on exciting developments shaping the University’s future. Plenty of time to reconnect, reminisce, and make new memories. Perhaps best of all, we’ll have the campus to ourselves before the crowds arrive! I'll be sharing additional details--including the program schedule, reservation information, and the registration process--in the next month. For now, please mark your calendar and plan to arrive a few days early for our mini-reunion.
Making Reunion Housing Easier
We’re equally excited about the plans for our traditional 60th Reunion. Among the special events planned are a reception at the University’s spectacular new Art Museum, our class memorial service at the University Chapel, and the many reunion traditions we’ve enjoyed for decades.
Importantly, we’ve also addressed one of the most challenging aspects of modern reunions: housing.
With alumni attendance continuing to grow while hotel capacity has remained limited, finding affordable accommodations has become increasingly difficult. To address that problem: We have secured a limited block of rooms for Tuesday and Wednesday at our special rate, and they are likely to sell out quickly. We will send you a link to reserve your rooms at the Nass by 9/1. If you wish, you can include Monday night as well. Because Nassau Inn rooms become very expensive for Thursday through Saturday nights and, in fact, are no longer available, we have identified hotels within 25 minutes of campus that offer rates roughly one-third of those charged by their US Route 1 competitors. Reservations are made directly with the hotels and booked before the end of October should ensure the best availability and standard reservation terms. We will continue sharing details as plans develop for what promises to be an extraordinary and truly one-of-a-kind 60th reunion. In the meantime, reserve your rooms now and let us know when you plan to arrive.
I hope you are all doing well. I look forward to seeing you in Princeton next May for what promises to be an unforgettable gathering of the Mighty Class of 1967. |
