Most of us agreed that we looked the same and that no one had aged. Most of us had moved beyond or were on the verge of moving beyond the fellowship-training era. Conversation focused on practice associations, billing, mortgages and children. In keeping with Yale tradition, the class continues to demonstrate leadership in areas in and out of medicine. We were all delighted to find the Yale System still intact!! The reunion was attended by 18 alumni and several family members.

A few alums retired to Juan’s place in Madison, Conn., after the clambake to reminisce about good times.
