We assume that Harvard will not permit an on-campus reunion unless at least the following conditions are met:  a safe and effective vaccine has been developed, approved, and made widely available, air and ground travel has been determined to be safe for vaccinated individuals, and reunion participants (including guests) provide written evidence of their vaccination.  Masks and social distancing may still be required, for example, for bus transportation to and from the hotel.  

We have created a 1961 Reunion Survey on the Class Website.  Please answer the questions so that we can get an idea of your intentions.  When you have completed the Survey, click the black box with the arrows on the lower right, and your answers will be submitted. 

We will be sending this Survey several times.  Once you respond, you can disregard the repetitions.  By Christmas we should have a good reading on the level of Class interest.  We are hoping for 300 attendees, including guests, if circumstances permit. 

We understand your Reunion plans must be tentative now, and will depend on your health, the pandemic, and Harvard’s policy for in-person groups. 

If you have any questions or comments for me, please let me know. 

With best regards,
