She says she really appreciates her hometown now; she never thought she would live there again, but she’s glad life pushed her in that direction. When I landed in Detroit after Reunion,


I picked up my canvas bag and was ap - proached by two younger Skiddies also returning from campus; I talked for a brief time with Susan Danielson ’98 and her companion, whose name I didn’t get. This was one of the best reunions I have ever attended. Everyone seemed to enjoy all the activities, especially the minicol- lege class on the Beatles. Who knew that Betsy Blades Skinner had a voice that could draw attention from all around us? As the new president of the Toledo Board of Jewish Education, I look forward to meeting the challenges of this volunteer position. I was also asked to serve another year as the church/state/civil liberties co - ordinator for the Jewish Community Re - lations Council of Greater Toledo. And Barry and I raised the most money for the 12th year in a row for the Toledo Area Humane Society’s Bark in the Park fund - raiser—more than $47,000.
