Welcome – daily, weekly, annually, always – to your ’58 Website. Please bookmark this attraction and check in often. While our last
Reunion may be glorious history and our 55th still in the distance,
the goal is to keep our 50th spirit high and include as many as
possible in that enterprise.
There are big jobs down the road, but now I’d like to
invite as many as possible to enlist in the quiet small
tasks that keep ’58 alive and well.

Could you, for example:
- write and send a month’s worth of birthday cards to classmates?
We provide the cards, address labels, and stamps. You provide
thought and pen as you greet people you may not know, but who
will appreciate your touch of purple in their mailbox.
- make some annual giving phone calls for Kay and Norma?
The days when volunteers said “I can do anything except fund-raising”
went out with blanket permissions and merry widows. Asking for money
for a cause one believes in is another part of breathing in and
breathing out. Just do it. Please.
- keep us all informed by dropping a note for our spot in Wellesley
Magazine as Ruth requests? Earth-shaking news may be welcome but the
revolving ordinaries of septuagenarian lives are what are really expected and appreciated.
- call together a local, area, or regional group of ‘58s? A mini-reunion
might be a picnic, a museum exhibit, or an historic walking tour. It could be
a posh social event or a concerned social welfare event – at, for example,
a kindergarten, a nursing home, or a veterans hospital. You decide and let
Mary know. And take photos.
- share sad news? The College tries to inform us when a classmate
dies, and Jeanie sends a sympathy note for the class. But in truth
the most reliable bearers of sad news have been classmates. If you
hear or read of a loss, let me know, let the Sister List know.
- and finally: keep in touch the new-fangled way? Sign up for ‘58’s
internet discussion group. We all know if we don’t want to read or
discuss we can hit the handy delete button. But the Sister List is a
great communications device. Ask Sue Klee (skleeberk@aol.com) to enroll you.
Now move on to the next page of this website, or link
onto the collected sights, sounds, and memories.
Affectionate greetings to everyone,
Ann McCormick Scott, ’58 Class President
