| LOYAL FOREVER! Celebrating 50 Years |
The schedule for the 50th Reunion of the Class of '62 has been
set for April 20-21, 2012. Invitations were mailed October 18,
2011. Did you find your face in the crowd? Curious about who's
coming to the reunion? Check here for a list of attendees.
If you have not received an invitation, check to see if you might
be on our missing list and let us know how we may contact you.
Help us find classmates by checking the missing list frequently
as it's updated when mailings are returned.
Please return your registration form by February 29, 2012, and
enclose a check for $62.00 per person. We hope everyone will
come, but if you cannot, please return your registration form so
we may include your information in the directory.
It's fun to see how Austin has grown since we graduated in
1962. From the town that was dominated by the legislature and
the university (and very quiet when they were not in session),
Austin has evolved into a vibrant and exciting city. Come to your
50th class reunion and enjoy the history and culture,
entertainment venues, shopping and dining, and recreational
and outdoor activities that Austin has to offer.
Check back on this site to get more information on events as
they develop.
We look forward to seeing you in April.
