I was four years sober in 1991 and wasn’t sure if I could or should go back to my 10th reunion. The AA Haven helped me make “an amend” and encouraged me to reconnect with my classmates and Princeton itself. Tom Emmons ’48 passed away in 2003 and David Reeves ’48 died last fall, but anyone who met them during their years of recovery absorbed their infectious enthusiasm and appreciated their guidance in incorporating AA principles with the party atmosphere at Reunions. Now we plan to memorialize these two men and the wonderful institution that they helped create through a plaque that will be hung in Murray-Dodge — our home, thanks to the grace of the Office of Religious Life. Donations may be made to the “David Reeves ’48 and Thomas Emmons ’48 Memorial Fund.”
