Location: TBD

Then—Now—Next: It’s been 55 years since most of us graduated and 59 years since we first came to Stanford as frosh in September 1964. We all have in common the shared experience of our years at Stanford. Since then, our lives have gone in many directions.  Our class panel will feature the rich and varied life journeys of five classmates from our first day together in 1964 through today and beyond. The theme chosen by the panel co-chairs is fitting for a class that has been at this thing called life as long as we have: “Then—Now—Next.” Questions to panelists will bring back Stanford memories, draw forth accounts of life journeys since our years together, and tease out hopes and ambitions still indulged. So that you don’t tune out (as you did occasionally in class, admit it!), the experience will be invitingly interactive. You’ll be prompted to reflect on questions posed to panelists. And more, maybe you’ll even share your thoughts—both light and serious—with a classmate.  Please plan to join your classmates at the ’68 Class Panel. We will have a good time.  Panel moderated by Jane Aries Levin and Dennis Lockhart.
