Gloria Markoff Winston writes: “Oh, what a great thrill it was for me to celebrate our 75th Pembroke College/Brown Commencement. I walked down College Hill, the only member of the 1948 graduating class. I was escorted by my grandchildren Will Bruno, Shannon Ruff, and Caroline Bruno. Will and Shannon carried our 1948 banner, and Caroline held my hand as new graduates cheered our march down the hill. I will always remember seeing thousands of new grads and hearing their joyous shouting of “1948!” I think about these brilliant graduates and am hopeful about the vision and talent they can bring to meet the challenges of our times. For an update on my life: I have three children, 12 grandchildren, and two dozen great-grandchildren. I still live in Providence at Laurelmead, a fabulous co-op with many Brown alums and retired professors. Please send your news to me at [email protected].”
