Nancy Zeleski Frantz writes:  A special “Thank You” to all Alumni Engagement staff who generously gave former women students from the 50’s a memorable menu of hymns, teas, Chapel, Clewell, Hearst, Foy and Payne Gallery all day long.  Remarkable!  I especially enjoyed meeting new students, the renovations to Clewell, and tours.
Gloria Badel Hilbert writes: Thank you for the beautifully planned and executed Founder’s Day program.  I enjoyed the President’s presentation of the many improvements made and the visionary improvements to come.  The acapella singing was delightful.  Best wishes as your leaders go forward.

From Polly:

These years do slip by so rapidly; I can’t believe we celebrated our 55th reunion this year. It was great to reminisce and catch up with all of you who returned for our special day.

As our class correspondent, I don’t have anything to report, since I’ve had no correspondence from you.

Eleanor Simmons MacCormick of Somerset, N.J., Nancy Frantz of Bethlehem, and I had a very pleasant visit one Sunday in late October. We attended service in Central Moravian Church (a first for Eleanor and me), then continued on to the Hotel Bethlehem for their famous Sunday brunch. Our added fun was watching Bethlehem’s Halloween parade from our table with window view. It was a long parade and a delightful visit. Eleanor and her husband left for Florida for a three-month hiatus from snow and frost to sun, sand, and surf. Nancy has her Florida condo up for sale, and I’m planning a trip abroad in fall.

Do keep in touch; greetings to all.
