Classmates, the bios we all filled out are available at https://apps.carleton.edu/alumni/reunion/biobooks/1991/. You'll need to log into your Carleton account to view them, but that's a good thing, right? You would want just anyone to view the hilarious and informative results!

Looking over the pictures from this reunion (both on the Carleton page and on the Lorna-fueled-Shutterfly site--check out the especially neat '91ers with sons featuring Wilson and Fockens on page 2 of the Carleton Reunion pictures on the school site), are a treat. Would be great if we could dig up some more from Reunions past (ala Larry's 10th reunion site). Martha and I dug up some from our

Larry Sampas took a bunch of photos and has put them up on his Web site photo gallery.Lorna Janus Wilson has set up a Shutterfly site for collecting reunion photos at Carleton91Reunion.shutterfly.com If you took some snaps, put 'em up!Thanks to everyone who came out. Only five years until the next one.

Well, that was fun. Between the heat, SAGA food, and the beer, I doubt that I'll feel normal before Wednesday, but it sure was fun. I took a few photos and have posted them on Flickr. Some highlights include Scott Azwell singing "Jessie's Girl" backed up by the Knights; a robot riding a dinosaur going up in flames on Mai Fete (see left); and Steve Malloy inexplicably wearing upholstery on his

Join the class of 1991 in a no limit hold 'em poker tournament during reunion weekend - think of it as applied statistics and psychology. We'll start dealing after dinner on Friday, before the parties start, and depending on the number of participants, play a final table for all the marbles (and other great prizes) on Saturday. The tournament is open to all skill levels, all classes and anyone 18

Aikido, playground time added to scheduleWe've added two more activities to the reunion schedule. On Friday morning, June 16, children of '91ers and their parents can meet and play at the Central Park Playground, across from Parish House, from 9-11. (Note that we will NOT have babysitters at the playground.) Also, thanks to our classmate Steve Carlson, you can take an Aikido class on Saturday

Larry Sampas recently found some old negatives of pictures he'd taken in 1991. He had them developed, scanned them, and posted the images to his own blog. Check 'em out. Apparently we were so young, only black and white film could adequately capture our youthful ennui. :-)

If you're a baseball fan and live in New England, you know that Red Sox tickets are tough to come by. So why not see the Sox on the road? As it turns out, the Red Sox will be playing the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis on June 13-15. I'm flying out the day before reunion to catch the June 14 evening game. Anyone want to join me? I'd love to get a group together, and even if you aren't a baseball

There's a lot of stuff happening at Carleton these days. Must be spring - seems like there's a flurry of activity taking place.First off, there's the opening of Reunion registration! Book today to save your room in Davis! Be very excited and use lots of exclamation points! Whoo hoo!I'm aiming to try to score my senior year room, Davis 415. (I think that was the number....

If you'll be in or near Minneapolis on Thursday, April 20, join us at Sawatdee for a 1991 gathering! Show up between 6 and 9pm at the Washington Avenue location for a few hours of story swapping, drinks, and Thai food!

Larry Sampas wrote me recently to point out that any respectable blog about Carleton should include a Google Maps link. Agreed, Larry! I, for one, strive for the height of respectability. Or somethin'....Anyway, check out how Northfield is doing at:Google Map of NorthfieldAlas, there don't seem to have been the correct flyovers to do the super-spiffy (and somewhat spooky) high-definition imagery

A big "thank you!" to everyone who filled out information for the Class of '91 Bio Books. They should be hitting the mail within the next couple of weeks. If you didn't get the chance to fill out your information (like, um... me. D'oh!), there's still an opportunity to get your latest happenings in print. Head on over to the easy Web site, fill out the info, and we'll print "the new and expanded

If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend you check out Larry Sampas' pictures from the 10th reunion. There's a link to his site on the right sidebar, but you can also get there from here. He's got an embarrassment of riches - several hundred pictures - including quite a few from our party in the former Goodhue cafeteria. I especially liked a series that shows the vultures (including me)

Greetings, folks. By now everyone has received a few mailings about reunion. Hopefully a lot of you are making plans to get to Carleton next June. Fantastic!So that we can use your own witty words to get even more people to attend, we do want you to fill out the "class questionnaire" that was included by November 1st. You can even do it HERE, online. Have at it.

Nominations for these awards come from Carleton faculty and staff, professional colleagues and you -- Carleton alumni!

I just got my 15th Reunion stuff in the mail yesterday and man, am I excited! Looking forward to staying in Davis, since I never got to live there. In case anyone's interested, Steve Malloy and I host a blog together (also through Blogspot) called 2Songs. Originally, the idea was that each day, a few of us would post 2 songs we were listening to, thereby sharing new music. Naturally, at this

Greetings to The Class of 1991!!We want your help!! The reunion committee has come up with (what we think) are many great ideas for reuion, but we want to hear from anyone in the class of '91.

Greetings to the class of 1991! The reunion planning committee has indeed met. Despite our best efforts to goof off this weekend, we came up with some really great ideas for our reunion. The committee is remarkably diverse, so there are all sorts of activities being planned that should suit just about everyone's taste.

There are certain songs or bands that always take me back to Carleton. Here are a few of mine that I associate with our first year.

Greetings, Class of 1991! Several members of your Reunion Planning Committee got together this past weekend (see asterisks on list on right of this page) to start putting together plans for a great 15th reunion. We're pleased to say that the official daytime planning sessions, as well as a few late nights at the Contented Cow, on Evans Hill and in the 4th Watson lounge, brought forth some

Hey, our 15-year reunion is less than a year away. How shall we tempt you back to Minnesota for it?Let's try a random MN news item/factlet: while Minnesota may indeed have more than 10,000 lakes, but that number evidently comes short of winning the title for Most Lakes: Texas wins.

Our 15 year reunion is coming up in June 15-18, 2006. If you'd like to help with the planning of it, the reunion planning workshop will be held on campus this August 19-20 (Friday afternoon through Saturday evening).

Hello, hi, and howdy, people. It's May. Have you given to the AAF? Please do! Every alum giving and every dollar is incredibly valuable to the students and school.As some of you know, I'm down at the campus quite often in the spring and fall, coaching the women's rugby club. They rock. We get at least 25 people out on the Hill at the Thursday practices and even more come out for weekend games,

Arah, thanks for setting this up! I'd really like to get more communication of ideas among the class of '91 about how Carleton can improve interaction with and among alumni. I hope this will be one mechanism for doing that. One thing that I'd like to see done more is business networking. Other schools seem to be much better at this than Carleton. Chris Zegal and I have talked about this from
