54th Reunion

May 21-24, 2026

Friends and fellow tigers,

We are a little more than two months away from Reunions and I wanted to fill you in on a housing opportunity if you have classmates still looking for t the Erdman Conference Center at the theological seminary following the success that 1969 and 1960 had with that venue. reasonable lodging but who do not want to stay on campus. We have booked the rooms at the Erdman Conference Center at the the theological seminary, following the success that 1969 and 1970 had at their 55th reunions. Rooms are still available and now that we are past our early registration period we are opening those up to our satellite classes. 
 
To reserve a room at the Princeton Seminary's Erdman Center (about a 15-20 minute walk to Nassau Hall), navigate to this online form hosted by the Class of 1971: princeton71.org/55erdman. As of March 6, there are singles available in three types: with shared bath, with private bath, and ADA accessible. The rooms with a shared bath have the bathroom located between 2 single rooms. All reservations are for a 3-night minimum stay, Thursday through Saturday. A Wednesday night stay can be requested for an additional charge. Prices range from $586 to $657 for 3 nights (about what one would pay for one night at US-1 hotels). There is also an opportunity to join a waiting list if the single of the type you'd prefer is sold out. You can also join a waiting list for a larger room (double, queen, king, or suite). Payment can be made by credit card or by check. Note that all Erdman reservations are final. If you can't use the room you booked, it would be  your responsibility to locate another person who will use it.

If you have any questions about the Erdman Center, please contact Housing Chair, Bill McCarter '71, at gwcmcc@gmail.com, or 1971's Reunions chair Jeff Hammond at hammbrook@aol.com.

For questions about the room reservation form, contact Class Tech Chair, Alan Usas '71, at alanusas@gmail.com.
As for the entertainment we've lined up, you can let your classes know that 1971's entertainment empresario Stu Rickerson has arranged the following:
Thursday -  Dancing Dream (a high energy ABBA cover band)
Friday -  Liquid Pleasure  (a favorite that has played often at Reunions)
Saturday  - Gary Rolands and the Land Sharks  (Jimmy Buffet music)

We all look forward to mingling in May and if we can help let us know.
