Class of 1962

Leslie Armstrong writes: “The women in our class, and some of the men, owe a huge debt to Dale Burg and Helene Schwartz Kenvin for bringing us together far more often than we ever were before the pandemic—Dale with her gift for putting people together and making them laugh, and Helene’s for editing and publishing a Pembroke class newsletter (80 issues as of Oct. 1, 2021) featuring essays from any Pembroke classmate fool enough to set pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, plus Helene’s own research and commentary on the assigned topic of the week. For myself, I am lucky to be fairly fit and still working both as a writer and as an architect, although the latter at a much reduced scale as I am also caring for my 93-year-old husband, John Bowers. I’m still living in the small brownstone I bought and renovated in 1967. Kids are good. No one in jail. On the whole, life is good.”
