Dear classmates, I hope you are all doing well. The last few months have been busy and happy for us. Recently, while talking to another member of our class, we realized that our 50th Reunion will be October 2025. I know we are all thinking the same thing — hard to believe so much time…

Hard to believe another year has passed. I hope it was a wonderful one for all. It was so great to receive some historical news from Alison J. Buck about the first years of the Women’s Ski Club, which was established in 1971 with the help of Brud Folger ’79G, the mens ski team coach.…

I hope this winter has treated everyone well. Spring is here and I am looking forward to the warmer weather activities. This past year I have been so fortunate to be able to visit my daughter and grandson in Orono and walk the campus often. It still brings back such fond memories and I enjoy…

Greetings, Class of 1975 — I hope your winter is going well. Please send your news so we can share it in a future column.  Have a new pet? Grandchild? Have you been skiing or escaped to some place warm? Run into any old classmates recently? Please let us know!

Hello all. We have made it to another spring. It was a cold and windy winter here in Ithaca. A fun one though, as we got to spend time with all three children and grandson Charlie. I’m still running when the weather is good, plus snowshoeing, and walking our two dogs. We adopted a new…

A beautiful fall hit Ithaca with the tree colors coming late this year. I have enjoyed visiting Orono several times this year to be with my daughter and grandson. It has been so much fun to walk on campus and show my grandson the sites. He is only one, so probably doesn’t understand much of…

I was so fortunate to get to spend some time on campus recently while visiting my daughter and new grandson. It was perfect early spring weather and the campus…

Happy fall to everyone. I hope you and your family are all staying safe and healthy. So sorry that our in-person 45th Reunion at Orono didn’t happen. This has been an exciting summer and early fall for our family. Our first grandchild was born in August. He and his family are doing well. As those…

They raised $2.1 million to endow the position of Richard L. Whitmore, Jr. Head Coach for Colby Men’s Basketball. This outstanding award also included naming the head basketball coach’s office in…

Isabelle Birdsall Schweitzer Hello, Class of ’75ers. And happy summer! I hope you are all doing well. It was so great to be able to visit back in Maine twice last winter. I even got to visit campus on one of my visits. I am really lacking for news of our class. My big news…

Our family news is that we just returned from a 10-day trip to Alaska. Incredible experience. We were able to visit Cordova, Denali National Park, and Seward, and loved every minute of it. I hope to return…
