1987

As I write this column, August is com- ing to an end. There is a slight coolness to the air in Nashville, Tennessee, and schools areback in session. I’m planning to cheer on the Dartmouth women’s soccer team when they are in town to play at Vanderbilt. Go Big Green!

It has been fun hearing about our 50th birth- day celebrations. Karen Boyle shared a photo from the Coliseum in Rome, Italy. “For my 50th (in May) my family and I took a nine-day cruise to Greece and Italy. It was spectacular!” Anne-Marie LaMarche Valencia wrote that she celebrated her birthday with a 1960s Mad Men-themed party. Judging from the go-go boots and dresses in the photo, I’m guess- ing it was a fun time.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate our 50th birthdays in Hanover. Keep the birthday news coming!

“The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been,” according to Madeleine L’Engle.
