ESG West Coast Reunion 2004

The geezer-get-together occured on June 18 - 20, 2004. This one was on the West Coast (of North America, we expect). We have proof, if we can believe the photographers.

Although now history, below are the Letters of Arrival and Reply.

Dear Alumni:

We are pleased to announce that we have firmed up the date of ESG's first-ever West Coast reunion - June 18th-20th, to be held in the Palo Alto CA area. We will be sending you more details as we organize the events, but we will definitely be hosting the following:

  • a Friday evening "think tank" session about new directions in which ESG is heading and how alumni can help out
  • an informal discussion on Saturday afternoon about what ESG has meant to alumni (which we hope to videotape and show to our current students)
  • a dinner buffet on Saturday night at the house of an ESG alumnus (David Henkel- Wallace '86)
  • a brunch/pool party on Sunday at the house of an ESG alumnus (David Glazer '81)

Other activities could include a "battle of ESG alum bands," an ESG poetry/story slam, and an ESG trivia contest. Let us hear from you about what you think would be fun - all suggestions considered! If you know of a good space for our think tank on Friday night or our Saturday discussion, send me details. We will al so have several showings of "ESG 2004" available at most of our events. This will be a 30-45 minute videotape of interviews with our current students about what they are up to and how they view their ESG experience which we think you will find interesting.

If you are planning on attending any part of the reunion, please RSVP to me as soon as possible. Since we will be posting an RSVP list on our website, let me know if it's ok to post your name and email address. In addition, if you want to add anything about your current activities, send them along and we'll post them next to your name on our website. A final list of reunion activities (including dates, times, and locations of events, and places to stay in the Palo Alto area) will be sent out in April.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you in the Bay Area in June!
