> The reunion hotel is the bay-side Doubletree in Berkeley, at 200 Marina Blvd.; the room rate is $214 (one person) or $229 (two people) per night (plus taxes of about 13%), with breakfast included. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar; it’s main website: http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-berkeley-marina-JBKCADT/index.html <http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-berkeley-marina-JBKCADT/index.html>.
> 
> Unfortunately the hotel does not have a shuttle service serving either the Oakland International Airport or the San Francisco International Airport. Both airports have Super Shuttle service and, of course, taxi service (and probably uber/lyft/etc.). 
> 
> The schedule for the reunion is shaping up like this:
> 
>       Sat. June 9  - meet in the hotel lobby at 5:00pm
>                             for reacquaintance, then dinner 
>                             (and maybe FIDS in the hotel bar)
> 
>       Sun. June 10 - 9:30am to 12:30pm - program in hotel meeting room
>                              (see current program details in first attachment below)
>                              sandwiches/etc. brought into meeting room for lunch
>                              1:00 - leave on van/bus for computer history museum
>                              2:30 to 4:30 - tour computer history museum
>                              5:00 - van/bus departs museum to return to Berkeley
>                              6:30 - back at hotel, then FIDS and dinner
> 
> The main change from my last update, in late November, is that, because of the Sunday limitation on when the museum can accommodate us, we need to have the museum tour in the 2:30-4:30 time frame, which makes it too early to have dinner in the museum area (Mountain View), and gives us plenty of time to return to Berkeley for dinner. 
> 
> About a month ago Van Snyder sent a youtube video link of the museum staff running a Fortran II program on the museum’s 1401 - brings back fond (?) memories for many of us: https://youtu.be/uFQ3sajIdaM <https://youtu.be/uFQ3sajIdaM>.
> 
> In terms of getting the right size van/bus for the trip to the museum, I can get a list of geezers + guests registered at the hotel. If you would be staying elsewhere and would like to join us for the ride to the museum, please let me know by around the end of April.
> 
> I will be arriving at the hotel Friday evening, probably in time for dinner, and will try to connect with anyone else arriving Friday. 
> 
> The last of the four attachments is a short list of geezers that I have not been able to track down. If you are in contact with any of these please feel free to invite them, or any other geezer I might have inadvertently missed.
> 
> The first attachment, as noted above, is the tentative Sunday morning program. The second and third attachments are photos taken at the 2003 reunion in Las Vegas.
> 
> Let me know if you have any questions, 
> and looking forward to seeing you in June.
