band traveled between their townhouse and lake cabin. They also worked in a lot of trips to New Hampshire and Washing - ton, DC, where they spent a day with Margi Bishop Maynard and husband Bill, touring the Mount Vernon Estate, before heading on to Hawaii for Christ - mas on the Big Island. In April Sue Flood Fricke and Tom moved into an apartment in Jupiter, FL. They were very happy to welcome their 14th grandchild, a girl named Susanna. Judy Fletcher Baker moved to a retire- ment community in Falmouth, ME, earli- er this year after 12 wonderful years in Santa Fe, NM. She says she is enjoying retirement “to my roots” and loves being closer to family. We were very sad to learn of the death
of Hannah Zuckerman Weiss on March 28. She attended Skidmore for two years before transferring to Boston University and then earning a master’s from Kean University. Honi was a preschool teacher but later became interested in hos pice care. Joan Page Hayes recalls that Honi was involved in setting up the hospice program in Milburn, NJ, after her daugh- ter Donna died in 1981. Joan notes, “She did a fantastic job there.” Joan Hayes and Bob are still in their home in Glen Ridge, NJ, and spent the summer at their cottages in Pennsylvania and Maine. Joan saw Linda Gorham Harvey and Sue Kopf Mueller in April, when she and Bob went to Sanibel Island, FL, with her daughter and grandson for spring vacation. Linda and Sue are both doing well. Hope Thompson Kerr enjoyed a trip to Florida last winter to play golf with Julie Gaines Phalen and Elise “Snowy” Aston. In April Mary “Chick” Glassey Ehbrecht
and Adolf moved to South Yarmouth on Cape Cod to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Chick says they have discovered great restaurants and super-

Heegaard, our 55th was a huge success. For those who couldn’t make it, we missed you. The festivities included a Scrib ner Society dinner at the Murray- Aikins Dining Hall and a gathering of 20 alums, many with husbands, at the Gideon Putnam Hotel for a reception and dinner. There, class president Monica Reis de Janosi introduced Elsa Daspin Suis man and Naomi Goldfarb Tamerin. Naomi described her career in medicine at New York University that has included research trips to third-world countries. Elsa, a theatrical producer, discussed her most recent project, Ann, a hit Broadway play about former Texas governor Ann Richards. Elsa also practiced law for 20 years and raised a family. Saturday’s parade of classes included 20 classmates proudly wearing scarves fashioned by Johanna Wethly Anderson-Boehm. Polly Wittenberg Rothstein took the lead in her scooter; she is defying the odds of spinal injury and is an inspiration to us all. Other activities include a memo- rial service for deceased classmates; a champagne toast for Joan Miro’s Parson - nage, 1967, on extended loan from Juli - ette Singer, Stuart Singer, and Lauren Goldfarb in honor of Linda Gross Singer at the Tang Museum; and fireworks. Elected for five-year terms were Joan Bowles Averette, president, and Linda Singer and Elsa Suisman, reunion co- chairs for our 60th. Classmates in atten- dance were Virginia Peters Aires, Jo - hanna Anderson-Boehm, Joan Bowles Averette, Susan Sprague Brady, Sidney Wright Coursen, Mary Avery Gessner, Polly Rothstein, Flora Crisp Rowse, Lin - da Singer, Gretchen Koehring Strong, Elsa Suisman, Naomi Tamarin, Barbara Osborne Vulkoff, and Phyllis Atwood Walsh. They were joined by class volun- teers Beverly Beatson Grossman, Anne Heegaard, Anne Carrier, Monica de Janosi, Marilyn Rosenberg Estess, and me. And Bev’s Grossman’s husband, Felix, orchestrated photo shoots amid rounds of applause from ’58ers. Anne Heegaard and husband Peter have

The “fearsome six” were reunited, with Barbara Vulkoff and husband Craig com- ing the greatest distance (from Tucson, AZ), while Sidney Coursen and Beau trav- eled from Harwich Port, MA, and my dear husband, Tom, and I drove from Booth - bay, ME. It’s been a pleasure to serve as your class secretary, but I’m delighted to announce that Bobbie Hayman Schwartz has hap- pily accepted the position!

a beautiful luncheon at her home in Armonk, NY, in June. I drove from the city, accompanied by Ellen Rubin son Zamore, Evie Schaw - bel Rosenkrantz, and Gail Wheeler. Gail told us that she recently closed her busi- ness named G Wheels. (One day I bought a top, then saw the label and said, “Oh my, this is Gail’s design!”) Now retired and a cancer survivor, Gail says she is lov- ing doing nothing. She will spend more time at the Jersey shore, where her house was “miraculously saved” in Superstorm Sandy. Gail and Bob, her longtime signifi- cant other, were planning a trip to China in October, the Great Wall being on the top of their bucket list. Ellen Rubinson Zamore is in touch

with Phyllis Kaufman Brociner and Beryl Swire Novitch. Phyllis recently lost her husband, Steve, to Alzheimer’s. She has two sons and grandchildren living not too far away. Ellen is very proud of her two children and grandchildren. Her daughter is a rabbi who now has her own pulpit in New Jersey. A speech therapist for many years, Ellen had a private prac- tice and taught at the college level. Hav - ing graduated from Teachers College, Columbia University, she remains active there and attends many events. (I re - ceived my master’s in elementary educa- tion from Teachers College and plan to join her in attending some programs.) Evie Schawbel Rosenkrantz was in
NYC to attend the high-school graduation of her grandson. Her daughter Amy just moved from Manhattan’s West Side to the East Side. We were all so happy that Evie
