Notes from Peter Otis (15 March 2016)
Here are some specifics that may help.
  1. Reunion website

    Our reunion website can get you started with this URL to be shared with everyone: http://environment.yale.edu/alumni/reunion-weekend/
    On-line registration for reunion will begin June 1st, so your task now is to reach out and get people psyched!

  2. Lodging

    Some classes have rented houses or coordinated where they were staying to be close to each other.
