Class Notes Karla Schuette Read ’67 writes, “I know I sound just like someone who has celebrated their 45th reunion -- retired, children marrying and grandchildren abounding. At the same time loving it all -- even wrinkles? It certainly is not the same as being 18 with the big wide world open and no clue about how to attack it. I feel that the attack is still on with a little bit more of a clue. And still wondering...”
his professional passion and is soaring! Couldn’t make a Momma prouder or happier! Anybody else considering retirement? How has the process been going for you? I feel like Indiana Jones as he stepped out to cross the treacherous precipice, trusting that the stepping stones would be there even though he couldn’t see them at the time! I hope to make it to our 50th and look forward to seeing all of you!”

Anne Clement Monahan ’65 is going on her 40th and last year of teaching at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. Her middle daughter, Chrissy, married Bill Cahill in May. Classmates Margie Stevens and Winkie Laforce attended the reception on the “Cherry Blossom” Riverboat, which cruised up and down the Potomac River. Anne, her husband, Dave, and their youngest daughter all moved to Reston, VA. She encourages any classmates to come visit! Barbara Borgersen ’66 says, “King Tester Corporation, the family business, still occupies my time and thoughts. Business is very good, and we have overwhelming orders for our Brinell hardness tester. Most exciting thoughts are of my two granddaughters, Lucy, 6, and Phoebe, four months, daughters of Christina Handelman Barker ‘93 and Edward Barker. They live in London, and I visit when I can get away. Next visit I hope is for Phoebe’s christening in September or October. I’m bringing the traditional Greek favors – almonds in tulle with a cross. Ana Borgersen Biddle ‘62 plans to make them. Our age difference is no longer a big deal like it was at Irwin’s. We are the best of friends, although she mothers me a bit. Best regards to all my classmates and little sisters.”
