Reconnecting with fellow New Trier alumni from the class of 1963. 

Take a look through this website for info about our class; and be sure to contribute whatever you have to say, too!  There is a memorial page with the names of and a few links to information about some of our classmates who have departed from this life.  Check the current roster of classmates and if you aren't there, contact New Trier and talk to the alumni relations director to get on the mailing list.  The Bits-N-Pieces page has some news of our classmates.

Updates will have specific dates for accuracy

 The 45th Reunion is a GO!!
            September 26, 27, 28

     Sue Giallombardo Walker passed the organizational baton to Fred James, April Gearhart Adams and T J Dunn so that all those interested in getting together this Fall for a 45th reunion can so do.  We have had an excellent response so far.  Please let us know if you want to assist in some way with the reunion planning or activities.
 
The plan so far:
   We have found an appropriate venue for our 45th Reunion this late September (9-26-27-28) 2008!  It's the Ballroom of the Doubletree Inn immediately south of Old Orchard at the corner of Golf and Skokie!
  
  We will be meeting in our Junior High groups for appetizers and cocktails, and then moving into the large ballroom for our reunion.  If you would like to see more about the Double Tree Inn they have an extensive web site at: http://www.skokieillinoishotel.com/
 
     The cost would be about $105 per person which would cover the venue, the dinner, the band and the name
tags. Making a little commemorative booklet has not been figured out yet.  The junior high reunions will be about an additional $20.00 per person.  We can hold this venue for about two weeks, until May 14th. Then we either have to commit to it or not. If we have a large number of people reply, we will set it all up!

Remember the reunion is only PART of an overall weekend of get-togethers. Friday at Elder Lane beach, Friday night at the "Away" football game, Saturday the Reunion itself and Sunday brunch!!  Individual grammar school groups can reserve a small room, too.  But let us know soon...

YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS IMPORTANT!

Just like being back in school...

"The best reunion ever!"  That's what everyone was saying about the 40th class reunion of New Trier High School... Class of 1963.  If you couldn't make it this year, we hope this website will help you feel like you were there; and maybe prompt you to attend the next one.  Those who did attend had a terrific time.  View the list of attendees here.

Over a period of time we'll make a large archive of images, stories, presentations and other info about our weekend reunion.  (Anyone volunteer to coordinate the next one?)  A HUGE congratulations goes out to the Reunion Committee, they did a fantastic job of creating a truly memorable and fulfilling event... Sue Giallombardo Walker, Judy Cohn Post, Sheilah Bernstein Gross, Jeff Zimber, Tom Safran, Fred James, Steve Osmond, John Roche, Winnie Unger, Allan Stern, Sherry Jensen Schneidewind, and Pete Voysey.  Thanks and WELL DONE!

Dear Alumni:
