60th Reunion Postponed Until Spring 2021

Posted: 7/1/2020

Classmates,

As you know our 60th Reunion was planned for 10-13 September of this year. Some of the planned events were an opening cocktail party, the Chapel service/class meeting, and attendance at the Navy vs Lafayette football game with an  afternoon banquet at the N Room within Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Based on discussions with the Naval Academy Athletic Association it is currently likely that the Lafayette game will be played, but  a significant restriction of attendance, seating space, and food service  both in the stadium and in the N Room will be in place. There may also be restrictions in place on events in the yard. In addition, but perhaps more importantly, the Covid – 19 pandemic is still highly likely to exist  possibly  placing our classmates at risk. These factors have called into question the ability to conduct a meaningful and safe reunion in September.

Based on the information available , we have had discussions with the Reunion Committee, some Battalion and Company Representatives about the wisdom of keeping to our original plan. The Reunion Committee has recommended and the Class Board has unanimously approved a plan to reschedule the Reunion for the Spring of 2021.

Details of the exact timing, possible events hotel arrangements and registration are being developed and will be provided as soon as possible. There is no need to immediately take action on registration or any change/ cancellation of hotel reservation. The Committee are addressing these issues.

We realize this is a disappointment to the classmates who looked forward to attending our reunion in September. We now look forward to meeting in the Spring! Stay well and stay safe!

John Michalski
