Per a note from Kyle O'Brien the October Reunion Information and registration is live. Mailed invitations are on their way. Happy 60th Anniversary fellow 1963 Classmates
Reunion Fall 2023 - Wilbraham & Monson Academy Reunion Fall 2023 - Wilbraham & Monson Academy
I checked with Kyle O'Brien regarding the schedule for this years Alumni Reunions and received the following:
"Thanks so much for reaching out! So yes, we are having our regional events in Boston (April 6th), Washington D.C. (April 12th), Great Horse in Hampden, MA on April 27th, and a NYC event sometime in late March. We also have Reunion on campus on June 3rd for anyone in their reunion year. However, we have a special reunion in October for anyone celebrating their 50th or greater Reunion, which you are. Congratulations on your 60th Reunion! I do not have a date set for that yet, but do keep an eye out. It usually is the last weekend of October. It is a unique experience because students will be on campus as well as the Board of Trustees. And who doesn't love Massachusetts in the Fall? If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to email me directly at
[email protected] I hope this information was helpful."
Sounds like we should be planning for LATE OCTOBER! Plan on me annoying you for the next 10 months! Can't wait to see who will be there! /bob

With the deepest sadness I received this letter from Wilbraham Academy today noting that Mr. Watts passed on October 26, 2020 at the age of 93. A great disturbance was felt in the universe.
Mr. Watts was Dean of Students for the four years our class passed through Wilbraham. In the many years that have passed, he stands out to me as one of the main individuals that shaped my life. I have never forgot our many interactions (of which he always had the upper hand).
Getting a chance to spend a couple of hours with him at our 50th Reunion in 2013 was as if we had a time machine to look back at our history. He remembered everything and I mean every detail!
I was hoping that we would get one more chance at the 60th Reunion. It is not to be.
Mr. Watts: my mentor, my teacher, my disciplinarian , my friend. Rest in peace!
