Milestone reunions

We congratulate the following classes who will be crossing five-year Milestones in 2023. We encourage those who can to allow us to welcome you for a time of reconnection with each other, campus, and the hillside with events tailored to your group.

Those who missed their milestones during the pandemic are also invited to reach out so we can help you plan a special “makeup milestone.”

50 Years Class of 1972

The Class of ’72 managed (with the hard work of Patricia, Gilman, and Stefania, see below) to gather for our 50th year reunion in Estes Park, Colorado. It was well attended as the photographs below attest.

Wwd 2022

Over 300 alumni and other members of our community met in 15 cities and regions representing more than 10 countries during October to celebrate Worldwide Woodstock Day (WWD). Many of you met over Indian meals, dressed in traditional attire, making sure that our diversity and the cultures that bind us together are celebrated to mark this important occasion. We’ve enjoyed receiving many updates and loved going through the pictures of your events. Enjoy these pictures below that you’ve shared from many different parts of the world,

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Worldwide Woodstock Day 2023.

We’re welcoming alumni to campus for WWD 2023 and will be reaching out to Class Reps from the classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022 who missed their milestone celebrations on campus with invitations to let us help organize their reunion trips to the hillside.

Alumni living in the U.S. or planning to visit should note the Friends of Woodstock School (FWS) Reunion planned for October 27-30, 2023. FWS is excited to return to an in-person reunion after four years (see page 82 for details).

Melbourne, Australia

"After trying to find an Indian restaurant for some time, we finally ended up settling on a BYO picnic at Jells Park, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It was a massive risk with unpredictable rainy weather, but we were blessed with a magical day with plenty of sunshine while we were together (the rain was back shortly after we left, phew!).

In all there were 23 of us celebrating WWD in Melbourne, with a diverse mix of staff and students from Woodstock and Carey Grammar. A big thanks to Sujatha Harding for helping to pull it off and making the picnic a success. The barbecue was fired up, and we cooked sausages and marinated chicken. Everyone contributed to the food offerings, which were stupendous! We had deviled eggs, gluten free brownies, Indian meethai, puris and kebabs, orange and poppy seed bundt cake, pumpkin and gorgonzola quiche – mmm-mmm. There are some fabulous cooks in this group!

Meeting outdoors in an open space we were able to move around freely and chat and get to know each other. There were so many interesting connections, and we were also introduced to the families of our Woodstock members.

I was especially delighted to see Mrs Nima (Eusebius) Flora who I fondly remembered from my 12 years at Woodstock as quiet, gentle, and exceptionally warm.

We now have a WhatsApp group called ‘Woodstockers in Melbourne’ that I’m sure will grow over time. Next year’s event will definitely be bigger!" - Pankaj Singh '79
