Twenty-six members of the Class of ’68 descended on Austin for a mass 60th birthday party. Adorned with tiaras, feather boas, sequined wands and Wonder Woman bracelets, we paraded around the South Congress area and had a fine time. Kathy Mack won the prize for distance covered as she came from Australia. She screened a video for us taken during our junior and senior years. We were, of course, absolutely adorable, and non-attendees Bitsie Jennings Rubi and Pat Richardson will want to get custody of footage of their cheerleading moment. Kay Leftwich Dohanyos has maintained her thoroughly elegant persona and even wore her tiara at breakfast. Jan Woodward Fox organized a welcome gathering at the San Jose Hotel Courtyard which segued into a most enjoyable dinner at Guero’s. There was a band playing, but we were even more entertaining, particularly during the boarders’ rendition of our theme song “Asparagus.” Mandy Mayhew Dealey acquired an amazingly tacky princess piñata and packed it with wonderful candy. She hung it on a tree in the courtyard, and we all lined up to whack the princess with a green and white stick.

Madelon David Cohen ’65 with her two daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie, and husband, Eddie
Susie Strauss Breen, Kathy Howard, Suanne Eisen Lubin and Molly Hobson zipped down from Dallas
for Friday only, and they took every advantage of the opportunity to celebrate. Jan put in a call to Swanee Hunt who was amazingly enough in the U.S.A. (but not in Austin) and whose birthday was also during the weekend, and we sang Happy Birthday to her. Suanne reported on Candy Curtis Dunn, who was not able to come because she is busy with a zillion projects. Susan Lively came in from Washington, D.C., where she lives when she is not jetting around the world filling in at embassies. Susan is looking at the Peace Corps as a post-career career. Mary Jo Waits plans to take time off and spend a year or two in Paris. Jennie Inge came in from Creede, Colorado, where she has a fantastic store and makes beautiful jewelry. Lainy Luckadoo Abbott is also celebrating her creative bent making nifty beaded jewelry. Anna Galt markets singing quartz and notes that, although it is a niche market, she is big in the niche. Frances Aronson is occasionally lighting, sometimes editing, and also taking courses on 3D drafting. As for me, Angier Peavy, I recently spent time working at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.
