Dear Editor, I just had to send a note after looking over the spring 2014 edition of Colby-Sawyer. It is such a beautifully put together piece and perfect for the Colby-Sawyer community. I was editor of the ’65 yearbook, and if you have access to a copy, you might find that I tried to do something with similar sensibilities. My big disappointment was the publisher’s mistake of making the covers upside down.

Colby was a wonderful place for me. It allowed me to explore the arts and really open my eyes to the world, although I was a medical technology student who spent many hours in the labs. I not only learned a lot from editing the yearbook, but I was also a member of the performing dance group and the concert choir.

It is such a pleasure to look back at my alma mater through the magazine. Even the choice of paper is perfect, not to mention the interesting articles. Thank you, Jan Sargent Simblist ’66
Other than that, the magazine is good reading and interesting to see how well the students, faculty and alums are doing.

Editor’s Note: What a surprise it must have been to see that cover! Thank you, Jan, for sharing your editorial adventure and the kind words about the magazine.
Editor’s Note: So glad you were able to attend and enjoy the Alumni Fall Festival last year, and sorry that we were not able to include more reunion photos. Hope to see you at your next reunion!
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
My fellow classmate Pattie Crowell Mitchell and I enjoyed the reunion last fall and had a great time. We made sure not to miss having our reunion photo taken with our class banner.
Just a note to tell you how pleased I was to receive your magazine. My Colby Junior College has become such a fine school. I loved it when I was there when Dr. Sawyer was president.
We looked forward to seeing our reunion photo in the magazine and were disappointed to see that only one reunion picture was published.
