Hello to all you young things!
I have just returned from a fabulous get-together with six other of my 1953 Wellesley classmates. We spent last week in Chestertown, MD, on the Eastern Shore (of Chesapeake Bay) where the weather was fall-glorious and the marshes golden. There was only one day of Brisbane-type rain, and that did not dampen our spirits or activities.
We scrambled around in the mornings to get our own breakfasts, read the NY Times, took shopping trips and walks to town, assembled photo albums of previous reunions, wrote about our remembrances of college and dorm life, went out for dinners, took MORE photos, watched BBC movies in the evenings ("The Ladies Number 1 Detective Agency") and talked, and talked, and TALKED. We are so much more interesting people than we were in 1953, and even in 2009! It is good to be home, and to find Dad/Babbo in excellent recuperative shape, holding his arm up in the air, and still doing most everything for himself, but I am very grateful to have had this special time with special friends and find myself hoping that there will be many more in the future. So that's it from the Wellesley Geriatric Post!
