We began talking in late 2013, communicating through meetings, conference calls, and emails about what we wanted Reunion 2015 to be—and do.The up- shot was that we identified three goals for our class at Reunion 2015: increase attendance, encourage contributions to an unprecedented large Class of ’65 gift, and create a record of stories like those we had shared in with each other. We think we accomplished all three! With 65 of us in attendance and $250,000 raised, and a really good time reconnecting. This book is the record of the influence Antioch had on our lives. New entries are possible on the online version. If your story is not included in this book, contact alumni@antiochcollege.org. We hope you will enjoy this Antioch Class of ’65 50th anniversary book.We also hope it will promote many fruitful conversations for you.And we hope you will consider yourself part of this project’s continuing evolution. —Barrie, Bernie, David, Karen, Paula, Penny & Tanya
