Jean Brigham ’69 (left) visited her college friend Sharon Brady Fowlston ’69 (right) on a recent trip to Pasadena, California. “We have been best friends since our days at the Elms,” Jean said. “We had an enjoyable 10-day visit, and spent most of our time talking and catching up on a lot of news. Even though we haven’t seen each other in nine years, it seemed like only yesterday.” Jean said the trip was memorable for many reasons, including an earthquake that hit on her last day there. Sharon and her husband Jeff hope to come to Massachusetts in May 2009 so that Sharon can attend her 40th class reunion at Elms College. Elms College Magazine Winter | 2008-2009
