Dear fellow ’76ers, believe it or not, we left Brandeis 35 years ago! We’ve come a long way, and it’s time to celebrate. Please plan on attending the Reunion. If you can’t make it, be sure to submit news of what you’ve been doing to Reunion planners when they send around the questionnaire, and let us know what’s going on by sending frequent updates to Class Notes.
