Santa Fe, New Mexico "Not-A-Reunion" 2025

It's time to plan getting together once again... Time to see if someof us can make a three day "Not-A-Reunion"  or maybe a little longer. It is difficult to explain the joy we can give to each other reuniting in our 80th year. There is interest and believe that Santa Fe, New Mexico would be a wonderful venue for a gathering... this fall of 2025. So it is time to begin wishing and planning to make this happen.

So what is a "Not-A-Reunion"? Basically it is mearly a bunch of interested classmates that plan to find each other in the same place at the same time with casual plans. It is NOT an offical Reunion. The webmaster is not in charge. The class website is useful to faciltate the gathering. We did this in Portland, Oregon twice with differnet classmates before COVID and for those that came enjoyed it. We've done them in Florida as well. It could be as simple as a group dinner or meet and greet gathering or more organized. These things evolve.

Why Santa Fe? well that's an easy one... Those of us that have visited Sana Fe recently as in my case or in the past have loved our visits and those that have not yet have heard so and importantly it has so much to offer that we will truly enjoy. The Santa Fe Old Town Historic District is a great focal point for classmates to plan their visit. Choosing a hotel in that area is a really good idea. Santa Fe Old Town is compact and walkable and is good value for such a unique location.

Over the years many of us have extended our stays at our off year reunion and "Not a Reunion" locations. Considering this, the Santa Fe location is great for extending your stays to focus on one or more features of the extended Santa Fe area... a visit to Taos, Los Alamos, Albuquere. All under sixty miles... just a little further afield from the core location of Old Town. The Old Town Area is perfect for three days as there is so much to see and enjoy least of which will be catching up with each other once again.

We do know we have a core number of classmates that are very enthusiastic about Santa Fe. If this gathering appears attractive to you please contact the Webmaster to let me know you to are interested in attending and keep checking this section of the website for more info updates.

What we need to focus on now is choosing the date. Below is a 2025 September - October Calendar for you to focus on. Choose your available dates and send them to me

Please check your calendars and email me below which dates work best for you. Once we have that imformatiion we can start to make firm plans. In the meantime I'll be updating this section of the website with more Santa Fe information.

Iconic adobe structures, including the San Miguel Mission and the Palace of the Governors. The district's central plaza is not just a hub of local activity, but also a gateway to an array of great dining options, from New Mexican cuisine to innovative contemporary fare.

If you have a car and a day or two extra to enjoy New Mexico especially if you have flown ito Albuquerque, there are a few side trips that I recommend. If you had to pick just one of these... Go to Taos.
