Reunion

Damaris Botwick 1960

Thank you for making us feel so welcome - 55 years after graduating! I am so impressed with the advances of Hamden Hall - staying true to the original educational mission as well as the vast and thoughtful building improvements. How much has changed in 55 years! We appreciated the mini bus tour of the new middle school and the ride to the athletic center. We met with other alumni after reunion for an excellent dinner in New Haven with further happy catching up, fond memories and copious amounts of laughter.

Susan Spivack Bennett 1973

BIG thank you for making the reunion wonderful on Saturday night. Lots of " kids" from different classes, sprinkled with teachers helped to verify and reinforce the FAMILY CULTURE that Hamden Hall truly is!

Alphonse Ippolito 1975

Reunion was a lot of fun for all!

Dory Lloyd Rourke 1963

Thank you for another great Hamden Hall reunion!
Even though the class of 1963 must be living on the moon, there are so many great folks with which to connect.

Susan Gordon 1975

Reunion was wonderful. Its hard to put the experience into words. In retrospect, it seems surreal to have been back on campus. In real time, it stirred so many memories of adolescence with the familiarity of close friends that never left each other. The tour also allowed us to recreate our past. It was so nice to reconnect with Jane Cohen and Whit Russel during dinner. We closed the dinner in a special way by asking for personal comments, stories, tributes, and self-reflections, which brought tears to many.

Ellen McNamara-Castillo 1979

"Thanks for doing a great job for our Reunion. It was wonderful!"

Jaime Lettieri 1994

"Thank you Hamden Hall Country Day School for putting together a great night! Hard to believe it was our 30th reunion. It was so nice to see everyone."

Kelly Virgulto McNeil 1994

"So fantastic to see so many old friends last night at our Hamden Hall Class of 1994 30th reunion. Doesn’t seem possible it could have been 30 years, but we still got it!"

Jim Craddock, Former Faculty

"I had a wonderful evening on Saturday at the reunion. It was great to reconnect with former students and colleagues."

Billy Riegelmann 2003

“Having grown up under the pines, Reunion was a homecoming of epic proportions. Years may have passed, but the sense of community and camaraderie was as strong as always.”

Reverend Douglas House 1973

"It was wonderful to be able to get together with people whom I hadn't seen in 50 years...since the day we graduated in Taylor Gym. Old connections were made once again, and plans evolved for dinner dates with classmates in the near future. Catching up with Whit Russell (one of my all time favorite teachers) as well as Mrs. Cannavaciolo and Jane Cohen was an added bonus."

Guy Guarino 1968

"Thank you for a great event. My wife and I thought it was very well done, from the hors d'oeuvres to the beverages to the overall look. It was great to reconnect with classmates.

Kudos to you and everyone that put this together. I look forward to the next HH gathering. A Job Well Done By All."

Irma Felix Rappaport 1982

"Thank you for all the planning that must have gone into the All-Class Reunion. It was a pleasure to see my former classmates and the campus that I called my second home for 14 years."

Irma Ross 1972

"What an amazing event! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. It was great to have time to catch up with old friends and to reminisce. What a joy! I truly hope this sparks some ongoing re-connections. Time is too precious to wait."

Share Your Reunion!
