JANUARY 11, 2003 - The virtual reunion book is starting to take shape. Personal essays, photographs, and essays on 9-11 were added. A new Web page lists classmates who have received distinguished service awards from our Class. The names of classmates who do not wish to be contacted by Yale were removed from the list of missing classmates, and a privacy note was added to the locality index Web page. The Web page with Class Officers was re-worded for purposes of clarity. Finally, a broken hyperlink was fixed on the Reunion (2003) Web page. (Comments by Daniel Kopti.)

DECEMBER 22, 2002 - Links were added to more classmates' home pages. Also, a locality index was added. (Comments by Daniel Kopti.)

DECEMBER 17, 2002 - What's new? Pretty much everything. The Yale Class of 1978 Web site has been completely revamped. Our primary goals are (i) to highlight our quarter-century reunion in 1993, and (ii) to provide classmates with access to our virtual reunion book. Beyond that, we hope that classmates will consider the redesigned Web site a central resource for information about the Yale Class of 1978. (Comments by Daniel Kopti.)
