1985

Who would have ever thought the March 1-3 timeframe would go down in the annals of secretarial history? After receiving no news whatsoever from anyone, I was besieged by three days of e-mails from various and sundry classmates. In tribute to these classmates, I am offering various poems. Here goes:

Our 20 th reunion is approaching fast Should be even better than the last We'll be getting together oh so soon The 16th, 17th and 18th of next June Clearly, I'm just getting warmed up. Margaret Marder sent me a note to share news about our 20th scheduled for June 16-18, 2006. If anyone has any suggestions for a creative theme (other than "Kill Our Class Secretary") or wants to help with reunion planning, please contact Beth Parish (monktong1@aol.com) or Chris Veator (cveator @opentext.com). Prizes to anyone who suggests the chosen theme.

A note from a rabbi in L.A. had been sent The first of its kind with this sort of content The sender appeared happy, even jolly Can anyone define ecotheology?

Lisa Zaslow was busy in 2004 N.Y.C., D.C., weddings and more The parties, the rages, important dates News of about 15 classmates I'll try to summarize it all, of course With, we hope, no mention of Sal Sorce The quantity of news was really quite scary Even included our own Paul Perry Now where to start. How about with the third annual Martin Luther King reunion in N.Y.C.? Attending were Amy Brout McHugh, Ricki Frankel, Jenny Gabler, Pat Hoeg, Henrietta Hung, Patty Milon, Ellen Shapiro, Joanna Tsiantas and Lisa. Amid the festivities was a surprise bridal shower for Patty, followed by Pattys wedding in April to Michael Ford, where much raging to "Super Freak" took place between, among others, David Searby and Pattys dad, Frank Milon '63. Folks, I just report the news!

(This column now interrupted by a Patty Milon update: Still working at Fannie Mae in D.C., where Bill Senhauser also works. Bill was married three years ago to Rebecca Culberson and is now dad to twins Jack and Kate. Patty mentioned she likes the class columns, which I'm sure is a popular sentiment.)

Okay, back to our Zaslow programming. Lisa shared news of Ricki Frankel's engagement and subsequent wedding to boyfriend/fiancee/ husband John. The October ceremony was held in Palo Alto, attended by the usual characters joined by Lori Bamberger and Suzanne Burnham. Missing the event was Jenny Gabler, who was busy delivering her third child, Toby.

Lisa's company, Gotham Organizers, continues to attract media attention and will be mentioned in an upcoming issue of Woman ThisMonth. Patty (notice the nice tie-in here by your class secretary) says Lisa is far too modest and, in reality, has been all over the magazines, papers and even TV.

Out of words, out of time. Wish he had given us one good rhyme.
