I was honored to receive an email from Veree Hawkins Brown, a friend since freshman fall, asking me to serve as class secretary. I accepted, but my first entry will be brief. My 5-year-old son managed to break his femur bone while skiing in January and the ordeal has left me little time for outreach. I will simply say that if you’ve never had to lift a 45-pound kindergartner in a fiberglass body cast from bed to wheelchair to couch for six weeks (and counting), you really haven’t experienced one of the greatest joys that parenthood has to offer. 


But bones heal and our frigid and snowy New Hampshire winter thaws as time marches on. It’s going to be 26 degrees this last day of February—balmy compared to recent temperatures. 


Please send me what you are up to up so I can include it in a future issue.
