The enthusiasm for these mini-reunions among those who have attended one or more is pretty much universal. There was a fair amount of discussion at dinner Saturday and on the bus back to Princeton about what to do next. Some themes emerged. First, the special access (both physically and intellectually) that Prof. McPherson has contributed (combined, of course, with the fellowship of the participants) is what has made these events unique, even more than the place itself. We should have an intellectual leader wherever we choose to go, ideally one with a special relationship to the place. Second, the first three minis have all been based around Civil War battles. We should try to broaden our subject matter, even though it is highly likely that we will attempt to prevail on Jim again in the future (a river boat cruise down the Ohio/Mississippi has been suggested). Third, we should make a concerted effort to extend this concept beyond the Northeast and stage an event closer to home for our western classmates. And finally, we want to involve more classmates in planning and executing our major initiatives. These will be agenda items for the Class Steering Committee meeting November 14. If you have ideas about a place, a theme and/or a leader, or if you would like to help in organizing one of these extremely rewarding events, please drop me an e-mail before the meeting (bcharrier@comcast.net), and show up for the meeting if you can.
