Reunion ’89 is this weekend.

I spoke with a cluster of current frosh who seemed deeply interested in our ancient wisdom on how to climb the huge radar dish — that enigmatic jungle gym for atavistic adults looming over Silicon Valley. 📡 (and I verified that the old methods still work; the fence gap is still there, and the security detail is the same)

Here is a photo-essay of peak-Stanford, vertically speaking.

    My frosh dorm, Donner, looks exactly the same, just a new color of paint. One of the special features of the mini-reunions: you know 💯% of the people from your frosh dorm. It was quite a powerful experience to meet people as I walked up and carry on as if no time had passed.We were meant to be roommates. Neighbors in Donner, and then the next couple years in Yost. Fellow Dish Climbers and steam tunnel spelunkers.

    Gayle Foreman (smiling in the background here) was the first person I saw at reunion, and her big smile is *exactly* as I remember from every single day of frosh year

    and a sample view from the topClimbing the Dish
