I’ve had a wonderful time reading about the lives of all those kids I knew so well years ago. Sorry to have been so slow with my entry.

MEMORIES: Third grade at King street with Brian and Tommy vying for tallest. Fourth grade in the chicken coop (schools were very inventive at solving crowding back then!) Lunches at King’s Corner – burger, soda and bag of fritos 35 cents. I can’t believe how free we were to wander about. Lots of wonderful friends.

SINCE: Married Griff McClellan (HGHS ’55) in 1960 after finishing three years at Wellesley. Completed my last year at Sarah Lawrence. Had four babies in five years – three in diapers at one point, so the home front kept me fully occupied for a long time. Our three daughters and son some are all married with children. In the summer they take turns at a wonderful old camp in the Adirondacks that my grandfather built in 1917, while Griff and I hide out in what used to be the maid’s cabin. July 4th and Labor Day are open to all and we usually have seventeen people and seven dogs – chaos! The cousins have all become great friends which is wonderful.

Griff and I started playing duplicate bridge a couple of years ago. He has decided that we have to become Life Masters so this is taking up a lot of time – hopefully our marriage will survive the bridge table!  We certainly hope to attend the reunion – Linda
