    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!

    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.

  • 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."
