June 2020 Dear Class of 1979, Last weekend, Princeton celebrated Virtual Reunions and the Class of 1979 shined bright once again with Town Hall conversations, a Locomotive for the Class of 2020, production of a Virtual Reggae Band music video and a live dance party / concert. This email provides you links to the public events so you can watch either again or for the first time. • | Our first town hall was a conversation with Steve Redd ’79, Director of CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, moderated by Henry Maguire ’79. This was a very interesting and off the record conversation about the CDC’s response to the Covid 19 pandemic and a look to the future. |
• | Our second town hall was a conversation with Josh Hammer '79, author of two best selling books, The Bad Ass Librarians of Timbuktu and The Falcon Thief. The conversation was moderated by Kathryn Reimann '79, a big fan of Josh’ works. Josh describes his genre as Adventure Non-Fiction and we certainly agree with the “Adventure” description. The conversation is online. Click here to register. |
• | Mimi Chen ’79 produced our Virtual Reggae Band music video of the Class of 1979 rendition of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds. 20 Classmates performed and several others danced (fortunately there were several pros performing). |
• | Yes, there was a Virtual P-rade and the Voice of the P-rade is our own Gary King '79! Watch it and hope for a real P-Rade next year. |
• | The day ended with a dance party featuring Richard Morse '79 and his incredible band RAM Haiti, view their concert. |
Many thanks to all the ‘79ers who participated! We certainly hope for Real Reunions next year and to set a non-major record for attendance. Phil Hueber, Class of 1979 President
