2020 Is Reunion #5

This will be our fifth reunion overall, and the second one at the Computer History Museum.

Six years ago on March 30 we gathered at the Fourth Street Summit Center (now run by the Rotary Club) in downtown San Jose. It had been a while—eleven years—since our previous reunion and we had a lot to catch up on. To keep it intimate, the invitee list was back to the first ten years, 1977-1987.

The AppleLore committee met with the Computer History Museum for months on planning for a theme, activities, and venue. They kept telling us to hold off, and we thought we might be stuck holding it in their storage warehouse or at Moffett Hangar One. But at the last minute they unveiled their newly-purchased building on Shoreline at 101, formerly the SGI marketing space. It was roomy, it was empty, and it was theirs. We inaugurated it with our third reunion on September 13, 2003.

CHM defines computer history as anything older than ten years ago, and it was a massive space for really cheap, so we opened this reunion up to everybody hired through 1993, or just before the previous reunion.

Our first reunion was so successful that we turned right around and had another one five years later. Again, CKS Partners chipped in their design efforts. Because so much time had passed we opened it up to Apple alumni who had joined Apple between 1976 and 1984.

1989

It seems like so long ago now. The Berlin Wall was still up; the Loma Prieta earthquake was five months in the future—and the first Apple reunion included people hired through 1983. We gathered at the Fairmont for shrimp on ice and stealing the centerpieces on May 13, 1989.
