Class Of 1962
What's New
Suzie,
Harry was exactly as Arvin described him. He never failed to put a smile on my face.
He was a “Oner” and you and your family will have cherished memories.
Love
Richie

Happy Birthday, Barry. Hope you are doing well!
Last weekend, on October 19, Margot Green, Richard Grant, and I attended a beautiful memorial on Whidbey Island, Washington, that Judy Gelfand Dankanics' daughters (Laura and Eva) held to honor and remember her indomitable spirit and her love of family, friends, and even passing strangers -- whom she delighted in meeting and getting to know. It was a wonderful event, filled with warm, loving memories of Judith; lots of pictures and saved mementos (like the 1962 Capri with her name engraved in gold on the front as she was one of the editors, or the brochure from our Honors Convocation, even her WWII ration booklet!!). And the refreshment included all of Judith’s favorite foods – lovingly prepared by her former colleagues and friends.
It was great that there were people there from every phase of her life -- growing up in Detroit; her stints as a Pan Am stewardess (as they were then called) and a French teacher; her 30 years of co-founding and co-running The Dollhouse Factory, a very successful family business that she and her then-husband started from scratch in 1972; and the many interesting jobs she held and roles she played in the close-knit community of Langley that she joined after moving to Washington State in the late 2000s, soon thereafter joined by her two daughters and their families.
She will be deeply missed but long remembered by the many people she touched over the decades.

Happy Birthday, Judy. Nice seeing you at the reunion. Be well!
Happy birthday, Terry. Nice seeing you!
Dear Mumford Classmates,
I want to second Norm Levine's comments about our dear Bagley/Mumford friend Alex Reisman. He was indeed a moral compass for so many of us ... and a wonderful gentle soul. We will miss him.
