Whether you graduated from Caltech one or 65 years ago, you won't want to miss the reunion celebrations! Alumni celebrating their 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th, or 65th year reunions (as well as any interested alumni from surrounding years) are all invited. The weekend promises traditions, information, fun, frivolity, and nostalgia. We have tried to locate and invite everyone from the reunion years, but please help us make this a great celebration by contacting your friends and making sure that they'll all be there. If you or someone you know would like to become a reunion class chair or committee member, please contact Patsy Gougeon at 626/395-8366 or patsy@alumni.caltech.edu. Thanks and we hope to see you in May!

--> A special thanks to our 2003 Reunion Committees for all the hard work and time! <--

First-Ever Reunion Dinner Of Caltech's Varsity Football Team!!
(Vintage 1964 to 1970)
Avery Center 6:00 PM

This is the team of guys who played their home games in the Rose Bowl. And the team that broke a 35+ game losing streak to beat UC San Diego in 1968.......and to give the Pasadena Police Department a bonfire to remember at Lake & California. UCSD promptly ended its football program. We decided to get together since we've not seen each other for 35+ years. Coaches Tom Gutman and Dean Bond are committed to attend, along with 25 players so far. If you played on any of the 1964 to 1970 teams, you won't want to miss this special evening.

Alumni Barbecue 6:00 PM
Beckman Mall (Reunion Tent)

This informal BBQ will offer the opportunity to meet and talk with former classmates and current students. Bring the family. Includes BBQ ribs, chicken, and all the fixings. We encourage you to join us for the perfect ending to Alumni Reunion Weekend 2004.
