REUNION DATES FOR FALL 2023!
SEPTEMBER 19-22, 2023

The Great Class of 1958 committee would like to welcome you to attend the upcoming reunion on a new, rescheduled date for your 65th reunion to be held September 19-22, 2023.

Dear Forever Great `58 Classmates,

Amazingly, our 65th DePauw reunion is just around the corner. We hope that you will be able to return to Greencastle the fall of 2023 so we all can celebrate those wonderful years so long ago plus our good fortune to be able to do so.

Your reunion committee concluded that moving our reunion to the fall instead of being part of Alumni Weekend in June would allow us all to stay on campus at The Inn at DePauw, have bathrooms in our rooms, old friends nearby, students back on campus, cooler weather, plus not be a small part of the much larger Alumni Weekend.

We have chosen September 19-22, 2023, as the dates for our reunion. It is mid-week to allow easier travel planning and at a time when the University could block out enough rooms at The Inn at DePauw for our class. Of course, if you wish to stay elsewhere, accommodations at local hotels, motels and B&Bs would also be available.

This is what you need to know now:

  1. Please call the Inn at DePauw at 765-658-1000 to make your reservations for the September 19-22 reunion celebration. Please note rooms are limited so reserve your room today. You can also find additional local area lodging on DePauw's Visit webpage.
  2. There will not be shuttles to/from the airport. However, we are happy to share some local options:

    • Lin Williams | 765-655-5836
    • Aadvanced Limousines | 317-716-1201
    • AAA Hoosier Cab Service | 317-626-3966

  3. You will be getting updates and more detailed plans as we move forward. Please bookmark the Class of 1958 webpage for more details.
  4. Registration for the campus events will open shortly after the Fourth of July.
  5. Please share with classmates and encourage them to join us!

This will be a special reunion for our class so do plan to come. The more of us that return, the better the reunion will be for us all.

Hoping to see you next September...

Your Reunion Committee,

Laurie Hooton Hamilton, Jo Hansen Lancaster, Tom Lancaster, Judy Blang Locke, Janet Prindle Seidler, Sharon Williams Ubben, Ed Unterberg
