Casual Conversations

Early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Arthur Fergenson (our mini-Reunion Chair) initiated a series of Casual Conversations among classmates. These 2-hour conversations occur roughly monthly using Zoom and are on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 pm ET unless otherwise specified. About 3 weeks before each event, an announcement is posted here on the web site and sent to all classmates for whom we have valid email addresses.

Casual Conversation March 21, 2021 with Paul Tuhus

On Sunday, March 21, at 3 pm Eastern our classmate Paul Tuhus will lead a Casual Conversation on travel. Paul’s description below of his lifetime of traversing our country and the world ought to entice all of us to attend this timely session held on the first full day of Spring. Get ready for your own travel when the lifting of pandemic restrictions gives you comfort. But there is no time like the present to plan for you to spread your wings. On March 21, let your imagination take flight.
