Dear Class of 1969:

1969 was definitely a year to remember!! We all made some wonderful friends during those years. Some we have kept in touch with and others we may not have done as good of a job at keeping in touch. It would be fun to see everyone this summer. We should be able to recognize each other since the 40 years have made us better.

Summer Reunion is scheduled for June 12-14, 2009. It will be a chance to get to know everyone again. We can share what’s been happening in our lives, find out what others are doing, reminisce about those days at Berea, and have a great time. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get to see those friends whom you may not have heard from or seen in several years.

If you cannot join us this summer, we would enjoy having news to share with all of our classmates. If you will be coming back to Berea to celebrate our 40th Reunion, please mark your calendars now and submit a registration form to the Alumni Relations Office, CPO 2203; Berea College; Berea, KY 40404.

Please check out your alumni website:  http://alumni.berea.edu/ for information on our class reunion, online registration, lodging options, schedule updates, deceased listings and lost listings.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Summer Reunion.

Sincerely,

David Y., ‘69 and Betty H. Olinger, ‘69
