Boston Mini - March 3rd

Pictures of mini reunions are great...we didn't take one , alas but here's who was there:

A Boston area mini reunion lunch was held at Marcia Brown Stern's in Concord on March 3. Nine of us gathered including Molly Shaw Beard, Jean MacMillan Doelling, Sheila Saunders, Anne Backus Wanzer, Helen Thayer Chapell, Sally Schaffer Martin, Sally Griswold Leahy, and Nancy Painter Criscitiello. It was interesting to learn that out of our graduating class of over 600, only 2 went into medicine after graduation: Jean and Paulie Bucknell Wood ! My, haven't times changed! See you in May!.

In Northampton, Smith was celebrating Rally Day, while in Houston, four ‘54s met for a reunion lunch. L-R: Nancy Cravens Chamberlain, host; Joan Tracey Davis; Marilyn Graves Lummis; and Anne Hoerner Ribble.  Anne joked that “we had lunch with our Mommies.” She brought along the Smith 1924 yearbook, showing Nancy’s mother (Mary Catherine Cullinan) and hers (Helen Blythe Miller), who had been classmates at the college.

As you can see by the information above and below, mini reunions are being held all over the United States. If you would like to get some classmates together, let me know (Sue Woods). I have addresses and telephone numbers of everyone in your area and can get them to you. You can have a small lunch at home or at a local restaurant or if there are many Smith ‘54 in your area, you might wish to get a larger group together. It is fun to do and everyone enjoys coming.
