Women of Williams (WOW)
have a May Adventure in The Big Apple

As May came onto the horizon, 13 women of the class of ’73 converged on New York City to celebrate our 52d reunion. The  group was comprised of alums Margaret Bradley, Lucy Calkins, Patricia Deneroff, Nancy Brennan Faigen, Connie Rudnick Grayson, Linda Vipond Heath, Katherine Kraig, Marilyn Marsh, Dede Gotthelf Moan,  Marta Rudolph, Mary (Marv) Schendel, Ellen Schnepel and Sally Shipton.

Different combinations of the group spent almost three days on what can only be described as an adventure, crisscrossing Manhattan to various museums (the Met to see the fabulous new Sargent and Paris, the Morgan Library for the Belle da Costa Greene exhibit, the New York Historical for the Smith College “What Women Wore” exhibit, the Whitney, the Neue and the Tenement Museum). Class VP Connie Grayson reported: “We shared multiple meals at Dede’s new East Side Apartment and at wonderful restaurants recommended by the New Yorkers in the group. Being together, rekindling old friendships and making new ones, reminiscing about being ‘the only woman in the room’ filled the days along with imbibing the unparallelled culture New York has to offer.” Everyone enjoyed the experience immensely, and there was even some talk of a repeat performance in the fall when a Homer Watercolor exhibit debuts at Boston’s MFA.
