Nazareth College Class of '66
|
"In the Fall of
l962, we the class of "66, began our Nazareth experience. Who would have imagined that forty-seven years later, some of our closest and dearest friendships and the relationships begun that Fall, would continue to grow, becoming richer and more meaningful, and that some of our best times would yet be spent with others from that very class. We were young together. It is a wonderful
gift to be with those who share such sweet, funny, We are growing old together and the times now
are made more precious by our shared history May we continue to share our wit and
intelligence, energy, creativity, and compassion with each * by Eileen Wurz Hunter at the 2009 Class of '66 Christmas Party |

At the annual Christmas party at Mary
Ann's, Eileen Wurz Hunter proposed a very moving toast and Karen Moore Larimer
asked her to write it down so everyone could savor it. You will
find it above.
Best wishes for the holiday season to you and yours.

Thought you might like to know that the "hot news" from Macy's is the SHEATH Dress. Sound familiar?
Just back from Rochester to visit an friend celebrating her 99th birthday. It happened to coincide with the Rochester Book Club Summer Picnic. Good to see folks. They are working on a list of books to read in the coming year but have a long list that sounded fascinating. I will get a cop and post here and on the Wiki

Well, as hard to believe as it is, the Edisto party is again over--for now. There was a vote to hold the "next one" in May. 2009 but that was tabled for further investigation.
The Quilt raised $1,100 for our donation to Nazareth College. Thanks to all who participated. And, remember, everyone except Judy can claim it as a deduction.
Below pictures of "everyone" except Ginger Grealy Cutler who was
only able to be there for a short time on Friday.

January 1, 2009 -- A Birthday, Edisto, and a Wiki!
A what? See below.
Looks like the Class of 1966 wants to go to Edisto Beach again. It is, of course, our 65th birthday year. So, let's celebrate!
In case you have forgotten what a good time was had there in 2004 go to the People pages on this site and look at Ann Marie, Barb, Cathy, Kathy, Karen or Linda's photos or the Group Shots.
The dates we are working with so far at Thurs-Sun March 12-15th, 2009
(You can tell us if these dates work for you by reading further here about the Wiki we now have so that you can add your own information on the web.)
Why a Wiki? This time I thought maybe we could try using a Wiki--a way that we can all add information to a website about arrivals, etc. and contact each other without having our emails in the clear on the web.

Subject: baby news
Last night, November 14, my daughter Molly delivered a BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Bianca Elizabeth at about 8:45.
She's 5 lb. 10 oz and 18 inches long. She has hair and everything. She has pooped, peed and nursed so all systems are go.
Mother and Father are doing fine.
The beat goes on.

Sr. Cathy Gibbons reports that she is now living at the Motherhouse. Her email remains the same.
In the absence of any other news, I offer my latest activity--I have gotten back into the theater stuff again. As you might have guessed from the picture above. But this time I am actually acting! It has been fun. See Picture of the Week page for more info.
I hope this week finds you all well and at peace in this troubled world.

May
You probably got the notice in the mail but the Nazareth
College Reunion this year is June 1-3.
To check it out go to: www.naz.edu/reunion2007
Seems 41st Reunion just doesn't have the ring of 40th.
April 29 Where Does the Time Go?
Kind of quiet here except for the notes from those of you who have sent me
the $10 to keep the website going for the coming year. Thanks!
If you haven't sent me something yet, you can find details if you click
here.
I am a bit sketchy re names on this week's picture. Reply via 40threunion@naz66.org.
April 4, 2007 Happy Easter!
Our foot of "Spring Snow" is melting here in Maine, but...there is
hope.
Connie Perry has sent a note--she has just returned from....Edisto! See her
message here.
I have re-invigorated the News Page and put it on the Nav Bar at Left ( News ). I will be posting things like Connie's message there. So, write to me and see yourself "in print." If you don't want me to put you up on the website just say so in your email.
And, as you may have noticed, I moved a bunch of stuff off of the bar at left and put what was still there in alphabetical order.
All the old content is still there, just follow the links. For the specifically Reunion Prep Stuff click here.
March 31, 2007
New page!! I have added a page for "New Books"--books authored by...Us! So, send along your recent publication and we'll put you up here. The first author is Mary Ann Fackelman, about-to-be-published-author of "Do You Live the Way You Drive"?.
Send YOUR news and/or photos! pauline@naz66.org and we will put them here.

Sorry that there have been so few postings lately. The Winters here tend to be very busy! Cleaning closets, getting ready for the Spring play--Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire...etc. But I did replace the pixelated Maria with a better one. I will start putting up new pictures of the week from the ones Barb scanned from Karen's book. So, keep watching.
Haven't heard from any of you--except Camille (of course ;-) see below. What's up?
A Message from Camille in case you missed it:
This is a shameless message of self-aggrandizement.
As of March 2007 I’ll be writing the “Good Books” column for the MCLS website and I’d be pleased if you’d check it out once in a while: http://www2.libraryweb.org/orgMain.asp?orgid=54
Please forward the link to any and all. I’ll be ranting about books, book groups and reading in general. They tell me I have a free hand. I’d love to hear about what you’ve been reading. This is my fifteen minutes of fame; anyone interested in being in my entourage?
