Celebrated my 60th Birthday in March with friends in the Bahamas!! The five us have had dinner together once a month for 20 years and this was our first vacation together. If we were not sitting on the beach then we were lounging on the porch with a view of the ocean. It was an amazing way to welcome the next chapter of life!

“Since this is a bit of a milestone birthday, I decided to extend the celebration a bit. It started in February with a visit to see Lucy and Sophie in Vermont and New Hampshire, and to experience that good old below-zero New England skiing. Then I flew to California and celebrated with the same group that celebrated our 30th birthdays together all those years ago. Kate, Owen and I flew up from Singapore to Bangkok for my actual birthday, experiencing some of that good old tropical 100-degree-plus temple wandering. It’s been fun enough so far that I think I’ll keep celebrating for the whole year!”

“During MLK Weekend in January, I was blessed to have twenty-eight friends, including Big Green family, join me in Montego Bay, Jamaica, at the Rose Hall Villas, for Todd’s 60th Birthday Destination Celebration. We hade a fabulous time on the beaches and eating great food! Pictured are Deidra Ifill-Stills ’85, Jacqueline Hayot-Ba ’85, Cassandra McDonald ’85, and Denise Hansberry ’85, as well as Adrienne “Tee” Lotson ’82, Brian Roy ’83, and Michael Brown ’84.”

Back to hometown NYC for a conference. Holed up in my midtown hotel writing my paper and handling business at the day job on the Left Coast. This is what 60 looks like. How fortunate I am. Long may it continue!

In October 2022, four senior year roommates ventured to Music City for a packed weekend of music and loads of fun to celebrate the first of us turning 60!

Kathy Reilly Gross’s birthday was celebrated in style by Eleni Daskalakis Henkel, Marcy Sitnik Reed, and Rebecca Blake Osborne in Nashville, including pink cowboy hats with flashing lights and a pink tiara for the birthday girl! Our visit covered the historic Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and an array of incredible food and yummy beverages while taking in live music at every turn. So much laughter and fond memories. 60 is truly the new 40!

In late October 2022, Heidi Cary Nadiak, Laura Robertson, and Annette Hatch-Clein traveled separately from their corners of the US to meet up in Costa Rica and “gently” relive their days in Fairweather Hall and celebrate turning 60 years young. 

We pretended to be ecologists, searching for birds, insects, flowering plants, monkeys, sloths (Laura’s favorite), while enjoying amazing avocadoes, local fruits, kind local people, good rum and our own company. A good time was had by all; I still hear the laughter and the howling monkeys near our cottage.
