Class of 1954

Class secretary Margery Gould Sharp reports: “There were 28 of us at our 65th reunion on Memorial Day weekend 2019—eight women and 20 men. Here are some comments from the eight Pembrokers:
Nancy Kaufman Judkins and Red Judkins are still enjoying life in Albuquerque. They attended their eldest grandchild’s graduation from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash. Their younger grandson is a freshman there. ‘Our 65th reunion was wonderful.’
Felice Rinder Kirsh writes she planned a July cruise up the West Coast of Norway: ‘It’s always been on my bucket list.’
Anne Clowes McKay says: ‘Living in Vermont within walking distance to Canada and loving everything about being there. Luckily I’m in very good health and spirits.’
Barbara Nahigian Merguerian is enjoying retirement and spending time with her two daughters and two granddaughters (one just graduated from Tufts). She’s also volunteering with several women’s organizations.
‘It means the world to me to be at Brown for the 65th and to be living adjacent to my freshman roommate, Jane O’Hara Page,’ says Diane Lake Northrop. ‘Here’s to the 70th!’
Jane O’Hara Page writes: ‘We left Brown 65 years ago but Brown never left us! How wonderful to be reunited. I have four children, four grandchildren,  and a Dartmouth husband.’
Barbara Patton Sciarra moved from Winnetka, Ill., to 1000 Manor Dr., Wilmette, Ill. 60091-1025.
Margery Gould Sharp lives in Vermont. ‘We had a rugged winter this year but I kept going. My daughter and granddaughter did the driving to bring me to the 65th. Still writing publicity, book reviews, and short plays for production.’
Marilyn Carlson Simon and Bill Simon of Southbury, Conn. are happy to announce they’ll be great-grandparents in October—it’s a boy!
Finally, the eight of us held our separate election of officers for our Pembroke contingent and they are: President Felice Rinder Kirsh, Vice President Jeane Nelson, Treasurer Nancy Kaufman Judkins, and Secretary Margery Gould Sharp.”
