After Winsor, I went to Smith, married in 1968 and transferred to Brandeis, graduating in 1970. I earned a Master’s (1971), Ph.D. (1974) from Brandeis in Literature. The 1970s/80s/90s were filled with children, rabbits, and a golden retriever. From 1977 through 1998, with three children in the Wayland Public Schools, I volunteered in schools, the town, and in the religious community. My oldest, David works for the U.S. State Department in the Middle East. He and his wife have 11 year-old twin boys. Daughter Sarah, former US Forest Service Smokejumper, and her husband live in Winthrop, WA with
their daughters, 10 and 7. Andrew, married to an entrepreneur, is a Renaissance historian at USC. In the 1990s, I was on the faculty of Brandeis and the Radcliffe Seminars; I consulted on a nutrition intervention project at the Harvard School of Public Health. I survived cancer treatment and co-authored a book on the experience. Twenty years ago, I began another career in fundraising. I have worked in various capacities as a development officer/director at Brandeis, BIDMC, Harvard Medical School and at its gerontology teaching affiliate, Hebrew SeniorLife. Divorced and semiretired, I consult, focusing on donor relations, and spend more time with my four beloved grandchildren.

50 years have flown with 38 years in the same house in Weston and 45 years with the same husband Steve and our 3rd Black Lab. Our 4 ter-
rific kids, 3 perfect daughter-in-laws and 4 bright shining grandkids flew the coop to London, NYC, DC, and LA. Great places to visit — and we visit a lot! We are both still working — I am in real estate at Coldwell Banker in Weston and Steve has his own consulting business working on admissions and enrollment planning. Full time retirement is still in our future. When I’m not working I spend many happy hours at the Museum of Fine Arts where I run into Angie Bainbridge Simonds ’66 volunteering. Other happy times are spent in the summer in Maine on Little Cranberry Island — always with a full house of kids, grandkids and dogs. In the winter we get to Franconia, NH and recently to sunny southern California — Palm
Springs and Joshua Tree. Life is good. At 50 years out of Winsor I especially want to applaud Julia (Judy) Livingston ’66 who has tirelessly kept our class together. It makes me remember often what a gift to have had Winsor as a foundation for these past 67 years. E lle n B u r r ow s

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising when, as the aging process happens, a person experiences a mini identity crisis. The surface self starts looking older, while on the inside one can feel years younger. I am enjoying the challenge of city life here in the D.C. area for a bit this winter. My eldest son applied gentle pressure for me to
