Faculty of Law: Class of 1984

Next reunion

Dear Classmates,

Quick, can you identify which of these events happened thirty-nine years ago:
 
a)    Ghostbusters was released
c)    Law ’84 graduated from Queen’s University
d)    Brian Mulroney was elected Prime Minister

If you answered all of the above, you’d be correct.  But if the question was, “Which of these events do you still care about?” the answer would have to be "c", Law ’84 graduated.  That means that next year, 2024, is our 40th anniversary and we are planning the best reunion ever.  And that is a high bar to beat because traditionally Law ’84 has the very best reunions!

It’s early days yet but we want to get information out as soon as possible so that you have lots of time to plan your attendance.  So please SAVE THE DATE for Sept. 27-29, 2024.  No, it’s not Homecoming weekend. We chose this date because it means that there will be lots of hotel space and lots of room to roam the city and the campus and reminisce.  We graduated 40 years ago; we’re entitled to be nostalgic!

The Law’84 Reunion Committee will be booking a block of rooms for our year at a centrally located hotel and as soon as that has been confirmed we will get that information out to you.  Similarly, we are just in the process of setting up events for the weekend and while we don’t have the location we can say that we anticipate a POITS on the Friday night (because some things can’t be improved upon), a tour of the Law School and possibly a meeting with the Dean on Saturday and, of course, a reception and dinner on Saturday night.  You’ll notice that breakfasts aren’t scheduled but Morrison’s always has and always will be the breakfast spot of choice for Law ’84.

If you are not a confirmed reunion attender and you’re wondering why you should go this time, here are a few good reasons:
 
•    You will get to see many of the people whom you know and liked at Law School but have fallen out of touch with and it will be just as if you saw them yesterday.
•    You will get to talk to many of the people you never really knew at Law School and discover that they are delightful souls who have led fascinating lives.
•    Rumour has it that Harley Richards, the one person that everyone in Law ’84 loved, might attend.
 
So, mark your calendars for Sept. 27-29, 2024.  I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there.
