Class Notes

Well, we had a wonderfully successful 45th reunion. Lots of kudos to the whole UMW staff who worked so hard for so many months to have kept the weather at bay! Well done! Of course, thanks to all of us in the class of ’71 for a successful fundraising campaign which took the honors this year. I am so proud to be part of our class and for those who attended some or all of the reunion, thank you for turning out. Thank you for allowing me to represent you once again as class agent and for the prestigious Distinguished Alumni Award.

It was great to see many who came and the pictures on the site as well as personal photos shared on our Facebook page really show what fun we had. Now on to the 50th!

Penny Falkowitz Goodstein came all the way from Anchorage and Mary Weaver Mann, Betty Barnhardt Hume, and Bryn Irving Roth came from downtown Fredericksburg, so we covered the gamut of distance to the campus and opportunities to renew friendships with all the classes. We also took the time to remember our friends who are no longer with us but will remain in our hearts always.

I heard from several of you just before and after the reunion so we all hope to see many more at the 50th. WOW—A 50th reunion to think about in 2021! Send the news, and if you read this and are not on the alias I use, please contact me and let me add you to the list or go to Facebook and join the Class of ’71 group.
