WHY 1988 AND EARLIER?
The First Generation Apple Alumni reunions are organized and privately funded by a small group of alumni volunteers who worked at Apple during the first ten years. We have been doing reunions with this group since 1989 and we simply do not have the resources to expand the reunions beyond the timeframe from 1977–1988. We encourage others who worked at Apple after 1988 to consider sponsoring their own reunions.
