Class Survey: Rather than publish a booklet this year, we collected data about the class using an online survey. Susan Higinbotham Holcome and Connie Dilley have compiled and analyzed the survey results. Click here to view their analysis.
Creative62Showcase: Martha-Lee Edmonds Owen encouraged every classmate with a creative bent to submit a sample of her work to the “Creative62Showcase”. Click on bit.do/creative62 or enter it in the address bar of your device for to view the program presented during our reunion.
A Service of Remembrance was held the Sunday of reunion weekend, coordinated by Kathryn Campbell. The names of all deceased classmates were read aloud. As the name of each classmate deceased since our last reunion was read, assembled classmates were invited to speak of their recollections relating to them. These included Ann Cooley Gehman, Barbara Diamond Turner, Susan Goodstein Lerner, Mary Hardy Kimball, Carol Irish, Virginia McKenna Iandiorio, Gretchen Miller Pike, Theodora Mitchell Bennett, Susan Moore Williams, Nancy Poland, Helen Pulsifer, and Ramona Wire Riddell.
Note that any classmate is welcome to submit a more detailed remembrance to be included in our In Memoriam section (see index above), which also includes a list of all deceased classmates. Use the Contact Us page above to send your memorial statement.
