Mary Fleeson Weddle is thrilled to announce the arrival of her first grandchild, Alejandro, son of daughter Brooke and her husband, Miguel. Lanie Tingen Silny-Bacsa says she ex - perienced “amazing and loving support” from her Skidmore friends over the past few years. Although they live all over the East Coast, they are all emotionally close, she says, and “when we get together, it feels like we have never been apart.” She is a speech-language pathologist in the Miami-Dade County public schools, has a great boyfriend, and enjoyed a cruise to Alaska this summer. “My kids are well, and my grandkids are darling. How could life get any better? Hugs to all.” BARBARA DEVINE BODE 235 KANE STREET BROOKLYN, NY 11231

book, and mark your calendar for May 31–June 3, 2018! The College looked great, and the Arthur Zankel Music Center is spectacular. Thank you to those who made Annual Fund contributions and returned to campus. Reunion was a raving success thanks to lots of classmates!” Reunion chair Cathy Offinger agrees.
“Our 40th reunion was a wonderful event. It was great to see all who attend- ed, and we missed those who were unable to join us.” She lauds the planning com- mittee for organizing wonderful events that “drew us together for reminiscing about the past, laughing in the present, and contemplating our various futures!” Cathy thinks the Class of 1973 is “very impressive” and looks terrific; she urges everyone to read the class history that Lynn Faught so thoughtfully assembled. Cathy has agreed to chair the planning for our 45th and is thrilled that Sally Amend Larmon, Kathie Chwals Milli - gan, Linda Jackson-Chalmers, and Zoë Vose Morsette have signed on to be part of the process. Class historian Lynn Faught had a won- derful time seeing everyone at Reunion, and is happy to provide the PDF version of our class history: contact her at lynn-
faught@verizon.net. Linda Jackson-Chalmers, Jenny Pear -
man Lammer, Cynthia May, Kathie Milligan, Judy Sanders, and Zoë Vose Morsette had pieces displayed in the Alumni Art Exhibition at the Tang Mu - seum. We are proud of their work! Many of us connected with professors from our era, including James Kettlewell, John Reed, Don McCormack, and Tom Davis. Barbara Jones Good was delighted that
the nursing alums at Reunion talked about getting together in NYC for a week- end, perhaps next spring. If anyone is interested, e-mail
barbara.jones.good@
gmail.com. One highlight of Reunion was the caba - ret show Assisted Living: The Musical. Many thanks to Doug Gray for making this happen. People were still humming the tunes two days later. In addition to enjoying the great events
on campus, Terry McKee von der Heydt loved her drive to and from Saratoga with classmate Davien Buckner Gould, who was attending her first reunion. Although they live in the same town, they rarely see each other, so the hours in the car were well spent catching up. Terry says she was hoarse for days afterward. During the return trip, they stopped at a rest area along the Mass Pike and ran into Sue Mann and Nancy Steiner, also driving
home from Reunion. Terry was fascinated to find out that Sue raises and runs Alas - kan sled dogs. So Terry gave her contact information for Sarah Stokey ’10, who raises sled dogs in Alaska. Our class should be really proud of our fundraising efforts: at 35% participation, we set a new 40th-reunion record and reached an all-time high for Friends of the Presidents donors. Our thanks to Joan Carey and her hardworking committee. Joan was so sorry to have missed seeing everyone at Reunion. She writes that Bailey Staub Johnson was kind enough to bring her pictures, and they had a love- ly lunch together in Ellsworth, ME. Joan and husband Andy bought a house in Bar Harbor last September and sold their house of 29 years in La Plume, PA, in February. Joan says it was “bittersweet” selling the place where they raised their children, a historic 1877 home on more than 38 acres, but they love Bar Harbor. She appreciates the warm welcome she received from Timi Carter and a visit from Bailey Johnson and husband Rich - ard, who came over for dinner soon after the Careys moved in. Joan and Andy en - joy biking on the carriage roads, hiking in Acadia National Park, and kayaking on Frenchman’s Bay. In June they traveled to Apalachin, NY, to help daughter Sara, a minister, move to an apartment near her new church in Schenectady. Then they all left for California to see the newest mem- ber of the family, Lucy, born to Joan’s son Andy and Leslie Kelly on June 1. Joan says she enjoyed working with longtime FOP chair Cheryl Bonini Ellis, and this year’s fundraising team of Cheryl, Anne Blodgett, and Terry McKee was great. Joan adds, “Thanks to the team, the dili- gent class agents, the very generous anonymous donor who matched FOP donations in the fall, and all who gave, the class surpassed its monetary goal for the year!” Jenny Pearman Lammer was thrilled
to be at our 40th reunion, seeing many friends, some not since the 35th. She says the Zankel Music Center, the new apart- ments replacing Scribner Village, and the rest of campus all looked great. Jenny was among a small group of us who arrived Thursday evening and had a great time reconnecting at the Olde Bryan Inn. She was sorry to have to leave Friday, but she joined a group of us to preview Women of ’69, Unboxed, a film by Jane Startz ’69 and Liz Roman Gallese ’69. A collection of interviews and reflections from women of that class, it was poignant and funny; Jenny looks forward to seeing the com-
