Nearly 300 classmates have joined the Class of 1998 Facebook page.
If you haven’t joined and want to get a headstart on remembering names and faces in preparation for the Reunion, just visit our Facebook page.
A bit nippy outside?
Cover up!
We have about ten or so Y98 caps left over from this year’s tailgate.
If you’d like a hat, just send a note, and we’ll mail one out to you. They’re only ten bucks + two singles for shipping if you don’t live in New Haven.
Don’t get left out in the cold ;-).

Okay, so I can’t personally write a million dollar check (or least one that wouldn’t bounce), but I pose this question as a thought experiment to find out what you would be interested in creating together as a Class over the next five years if money were no object.
As a 10th-year Reunion Chair, I confess – Reunion Weekend isn’t the most important goal of the Reunion Committee.
We’re more excited about using the Reunion as an opportunity to help you reconnect with 98ers you know and build relationships with 98ers you don’t know in meaningful ways that extend beyond five-year reunions to the larger time pocket in between.
Yale is more than just a place; it’s an idea and state of mind we carry with us beyond our short time on campus. This along with the experiences we shared together from 1994 to 1998 is what makes us a class. Yet what about today? 2008?
How do we “live” Yale as a class, when we’re not “at” Yale as a class?”
The Yale Class of 1998’s group on Facebook.com officially crossed the 200+ mark this past weekend.
If you’re not on Facebook, please consider joining. Contrary to popular belief, the application can be used by people over age 30.
Why should you join? It’s hard to explain until you join; it’s sort of like having a living yearbook.
To quote one initially reluctant 98er, William Booher, “I was in denial about facebook until Reggie made all of us on the committee join…and I’m in love with this thing. I have been looking at some of your profiles and….lookin good folks…lookin good!”
I think that sums it up. Come join us!
