Calhoun Chronicle
From the Archives: 1929 graduation brooch, donated by Ellen Monness, daughter of Gladys Baruth Gretsch ’29
1920s
Gladys Baruth Gretsch ’29, who died in December 1988, made a memorable contribution to the Calhoun archives through her daughter, Ellen Monness, who uncovered her mom’s commencement brooch—a traditional gift given to each of the girls upon graduation. Gladys, who was valedictorian of her class and “was always proud of her Calhoun days,” was active in the League of Women Voters in the late 1940s and helped establish the first UN headquarters in Lake Success, NY. Ellen notes that her mom’s two lifelong friends were ones she met at Calhoun, and adds, “My mother had a sparkling personality and was very loving; how thrilled she would have been to know and adore my eight grandchildren!”
Lynn Levy Zaubler ’51 attended her 65th Reunion with classmates Sandy Silverstone Stern and Sylvia Cohen Robbins in June. Lynn still lives on the Upper West Side, having worked in development at both Horace Mann and her college alma mater, Sarah Lawrence, where she worked on their East Coast capital campaign. Her son is a psychologist. Mina Baum Bernhard ’56, who is retired from her interior design business, writes that she keeps busy by taking literature and art classes at The New School in New York. Deanna Lichtblau Framson ’56: “I transferred from Connecticut to Florida in 1999. I’m still working in the travel industry and now have seven grandchildren, along with many nice memories of my Calhoun days!” Merryl Morris Traub ’56: “Our exciting news is that my husband, Alan, and I became great-grandparents on November 23, 2015, to a bouncing baby boy!”
Susan Bonomo Catalano ’64 continues her leadership in the New York fashion scene with Susan Bonomo & Co., a multi-line, contemporary showroom she opened in the city’s fashion district in 1994. She is also founder and president of the Bonomo Marketing Group, a sales and marketing company that focuses on women’s fashion apparel and accessories. Lynn Schwartzberg Marlow ’64 took time off from her two ventures in Boulder, CO—In Touch Healing Art and Sophia Sanctuary—to travel to New York this past May, to celebrate a collective milestone birthday with friends from the Class of 1964. The mini-reunion was hosted by Karen Biffer Horn and attended by fellow classmates Susan Bonomo Catalano, Alana Martin Frumkes, Nancy Gingiss and Laura Kogel. Allyson Young Schwartz ’66: After a decade in Congress (Pennsylvania’s 13th congressional district, 2005–2015), Allyson is now president and CFO of the Better Medicare Alliance, a national coalition advocating for Medicare Advantage, a private health-insurance option available to Medicare beneficiaries. Though her work is in Washington, DC, she is still living in Philadelphia with her husband, David (of 46 years!). Allyson reports that she has “two wonderful grown sons,” Daniel and Jordan. Daniel and
