A Word from Ann Jackson O’Sullivan:
Several of our class were fortunate to attend the Ceremony in the soon to be renovated
Alumnae Hall where Mary Rosenthal Lefkowitz was honored with a 2008 Alumnae Award.
Pictured at the Reception in the Lulu Wang Center were Mary in the center with Peggy
Flowers Norwood to her left and Nancy Aitken Senger to her right. Behind from the
left are myself, Jane Douglas Moore, Martha Stanton and Jean Speare Canellos. Mary
Wallace Davidson also attended the Ceremony.
I hope classmates, eager for yet another return to campus, will consider taking
advantage of this year’s Summer Symposium to be held June 2-5. In Her Own Hand:
Women Writers Then and Now will explore poems, essays and novels of the 19th and
20th centuries. In past years some of us have stayed for the whole week, others
just for a day. Regardless, 57’ers have always had great fun!
And for the many hoping to get together with classmates off-campus, be assured that
your class officers are starting to plan one or more mini reunions. We will be meeting
this spring to toss around ideas for exciting things to do and exciting places to
go. The exciting people – all of you- are a given.
Please check out the latest report on the use of the 1957 Green Fund!! You can find
it by clicking on Useful Information and then on the Green Fund Tab. You will be
so pleased to discover the thoughtful and important ways our contributions have
been put to work.
