Class of '81 Personal Websites and Blogs 

We'd like to start a section with links to class members' personal websites or blogs.  If you have one,  please e-mail me with the link and I'll get it added.  Or if you know another classmate who does, please contact them to see if they'd like it posted and have them e-mail me with the link and their permission.  E-mail me at jstewart@carleton81.com.

Following are two sites belonging to Drew Miller:
Omnium Recordings:  http://www.omnium.com
Boiled In Lead:           http://www.boiledinlead.com

I've created a class of '81 blog on the Blog page of this site, with all entries repeated at http://carleton1981.blogspot.com/ .  The blog is meant to be a collaborative effort.  Post comments or become a registered user and blog team member so you can write your own blogs or e-mail your post to me at jstewart@carleton81.com and I'll get it posted.

Check out the new site that features all blogs related to Carleton in some way, shape or form.

 Twin Cities Mini-reunion 
A few of our classmates in the Twin Cities area got together for a pre-Reunion mini-reunion in May.  See if you can identify them, and then plan to join them in June at our 25th Reunion.
 
 
 
 About Us 
 We are a mostly hard working and hard partying lot of folks who spent four years together from the Fall of 1977 to the Summer of 1981.  While folks today bemoan increases in prime rate to 7.5%, we saw it hit 20% while we were in college.  Not that interest rates mattered to us then, as we paid cash for our beers and brats at the Cave. 

In June we will be together again, briefly but with intensity.  Special Export will flow again, and we will ingest bagels with cream cheese slices more than an inch thick.  Only the Cave made them that way!

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES, PLACES AND FACES

Here are a few shots from the memory books to get us started with reminiscing about Carleton before Reunion.  If you have any scanned photos from our time on campus that you'd like to have added to this page, e-mail them to me at carleton1981@yahoo.com along with a suggested caption.

Broomball was a cold and unique sport.  It was a little rougher than curling.

The Cave was always warm.  It wasn't just the 3.2 beer... it was the dialogue.
Not that the cold kept us from drinking ice vodka and schnapps!
Favorite Music?? 

I won't attest to all of these songs being the favorites of our class, but they should jog your memory about our culture during the time we were on campus.  Drew Miller is in charge of compiling background music to play in "Le Cave" during Reunion, so thanks to Amy Goerwitz and an '80 class member, Drew now has a 7-CD set from the class of 1980 that he has ripped to MP3s.  This will be our starter list of music to jog your memory about some of those special times.....
