CLASS OF 1957 55TH REUNION
OCTOBER 5-7, 2012
Welcome to the updated RPI Class of ‘57 web site. It has been made current for the purpose of communicating information about you and your classmates and the plans as they develop for what may be our last scheduled formal reunion - “57’s 55th.” Yes, that’s right, our 55th! We had such a great turnout for our 50th and an RPI record 50th giving (yet to be surpassed), that many of you urged we go “one more time” for a class reunion.
For our 50th reunion, 140 alumni attended along with 118 significant others. Unlike our previous reunions, the 55th reunion will be held in the fall with the campus in full swing. As a result, this reunion will have opportunities like none of the others we’ve had. The students will be in class, there will sporting events (football, hockey) as well as the opportunities to hear from President Jackson and the leaders of various projects at the "Tute." A group from NASA is planning to give a special presentation on their Mars project.
As with our 50th we are planning a Thursday night river dinner cruise, and we’ll have our usual banquet at Hotel Desmond, our class hotel.
About 100 classmates have already said they plan to attend - very unusual for a 55th reunion class! We are hoping to reach 200 attendees counting guests.
The Reunion Committee for our 55th has been organized and is ready to go! Under the leadership of Doug Hasbrouck, the Networking Committee has begun making contacts to help with getting ready for this one. The network will expand as we all reach out to renew contacts and encourage one another to become involved in the reunion.
The Hotel Desmond is at 600 Albany Shaker Road, Albany, NY 12211, (518) 869-8100, with king/doubles @ $132; use Booking Number: 11W0RQ. As the hotel is also for the class of ’67, call early to register by phone using the booking number. NOTE: Do not register on-line because you will not get that special rate.

For the 55th we have the opportunity this one last time to really bring the class together for a grand time. Therefore, I urge you to review this site regularly for information it contains about your classmates and the reunion plans. I look forward to seeing you in 2012 at our 55th!
Respectfully,
Rex Krueger
Life-time Class President ’57
