That’s what some classmates said about ClassACT HR85’s Pre-Reunion program, Looking Back to the Future: A Virtual Climate & Sustainability Tour of the Harvard Campus. If you missed the March 12th event, then you missed seeing Class ’85 participants Eva Orlebeke Caldera, Jeffrey Madison, Joan Najita, Eleanor Pollak and Kate Wiley. Plus some terrific photos of the Harvard campus. Lucky for you, we have a video of the discussion!
