class notes
Lauren Landau ’79 and Lisa Landau Flynn ’80 Reynolds
1975
Megan North – I am substitute teaching grades K - 12 at various schools in my area. I have hopes of being employed full time in the educational system here, but those jobs are few and far between. So, please keep your fingers crossed for me. I also Hostess at an Inn’s local restaurant. I do that 4 - 5 days a week. It is not unusual for me to work a “double,” which is where I teach school all day, then go to work for a good part of the evening. I get pretty tired, but it pays the rent, and both jobs have their many benefits, so I don’t complain.
1978
Jenny Waters Reynolds - will be hosting an OS gathering September 26 at my home in Mount Pleasant (Charleston). I am hoping we can get as many classmates of 1978 to come for a fun weekend to celebrate our 35th reunion as well as other alums to come join in the fun. Taylor and Judy will be there to introduce the new head of school and hopefully, Dotty Hordubay and other fun OS celebrities. 825 Post Oak Dr. MT.

Also included that Amy Eudy’s son, Andrew, surprised her at Christmas with week’s vacation in the Outer Banks with one of her best friends from Oldfields who she hasn’t seen in 35 years… we had the best time catching up and the only thing that has changed in the past 35 years is that extra 5 pounds! It was fabulous! We are making it an annual event.

be enjoying a summer full of soccer and beach time. I am very excited because my practice will be bringing on another dermatologist to join me in August. We are busy renovating the office and hiring and training new staff. Although it is a lot of work right now, I am hoping that that may translate in to more vacation for me in the future!
1983
Midge Barbee – Hi, I am enjoying living in Colorado again. The same day Taylor Smith retired, my son graduated from high school. Where did the time go? I’ve been very busy starting an online business, mymobilegenius. com featuring smartphone tutorials. What an adventure! I even learned computer animation. Goes to show that we never stop learning, thankfully Oldfields gave us a great start!
