Mini-reunions provide a great way for affinity groups in our class to stay connected with each other between College reunions. As you renew friendships with fellow classmates through shared connections of geographic location, academic majors, college dorms and more, please take a photo and share your get-together via our Class website. Whether the mini-reunion is lunch with one classmate or touring a gallery with twenty, it would be great to hear about it. Please email a brief description of your get together and photo to Susan Clark Iverson, our class Mini-Reunion Chair.

Five classmates attended the Mount Holyoke Club of Hartford's annual Mary Lyon's Birthday Tea, held this year on March 2 at an alumna's home in Glastonbury. No Deacon Porter's Hat, but lots of tempting sandwiches and desserts! (From left) Jean Baker Williams, Eileen Sypher, Carolyn Dorais, Marnie Johnston Clark, Mobby Brown Larson.
Six of us, Connie Cushman, Nancy Huttemeyer Davis, Judy O’Connor Hayes, Mobby Brown Larson, Linda Graham McElroy, and Laurie Trees Rodgers, gathered for three fun-filled days in New York City, our first mini-reunion since our 55th. With snowy Central Park as a backdrop, we visited two museums. We enjoyed laughter and conversation, highlighted by the “gracious” tea we prepared ourselves, all of us wearing our MHC scarves.

Gayle Gunderson Richardson, Sue Graham Simpson, Joy Camp, Pam Daviau Joseph, and Linda Torlai Stauffer met for lunch with an ocean view in Hyannis, MA on October 5, 2023 to reminisce about our fantastic 55th MHC reunion. All 5 grew up in South Hadley and were on the Reunion Planning Team.
Kendra Gaines enjoyed a recent visit with the now retired Dr Wendy Hagen Bauer, Class of 1971, in Washington State. Kendra added, “As of August, I'll be getting together with Leslie Luxemburg from our class. Just had a nice lunch with Gay Miller here in Tucson, also from our class. I love these ongoing MHC contacts! The photo of Wendy, Dr. Eldon Braun (retired Professor of Physiology from University of Arizona and my committed partner), and yours truly was taken on the Hood Canal near Union, WA.”
All best,
Kendra Gaines (not yet retired—19 years teaching online!) July 14, 2023
