Class of 1968

Sally Kusnitz Horn writes: “Some 30-plus years ago, a group of women in the Pembroke Class of 1968 began meeting in person periodically in New York City. Over time, the meetings expanded to include milestone celebrations and women in the class who lived outside of the New York City metropolitan area, and pre-reunion gatherings in Newport, R.I. Covid turned these occasional in-person meetings into weekly Zoom gatherings. The weekly gatherings strengthened existing friendships and forged new friendships among classmates who barely knew each other at Brown. They also led to the creation of the Pembroke Emergency Gap Fund endowment to help undergraduates meet unexpected financial challenges and emergencies. These gatherings are still going strong, every Monday at 6 p.m. on Zoom. They are a weekly source of friendship, where participants share smiles, laughter, wisdom, advice, comfort, and contemplation. Among those who have joined past Zooms are: Molly Erb Adams, Dinah Lamb Bain, Martha “Marty” Barylick ’69 MAT, Karen Maziarz Bell ’70 MMSc, Kathleen Cook, Leigh Dickerson Davidson, Anne Emerson, Shelley Fidler, Judith Ginsberg ’68 AM, Joyce Wolfenden Goff, Carol Pilkinton Grave, Eva Benes Hanhardt, Maggie Harrer, Nina Salant Hellerstein, Ginger Heinbockel Ignatoff, Vikki Aldridge Kingslien, Marcia Knight, Jean Trescott Lambert, Mary Lark Lovering, Connie Berkley Margolin, Helaine Benson Palmer, Nancy Parr, Gay Parrish, Fredi Pearlmutter, Binnie Ravitch, Sandy Richards, Carole Sayle, Kathy Schreiner, Nancy Carlson Schrock, Shelly Sender, Gwyneth Walker, Sharon Wilkerson, and Ancelin Vogt Wolfe.
