We're still in our prime! Join our class Facebook group, Smith College Class of 1983

Facebook gives us a wonderful opportunity to keep in touch with each other. A lot of photos from our reunion have been uploaded to the site, there are several discussion threads, and breaking news has been posted. Thank you to all who are contributing, and to our classmates for setting up and administering the site:
Our incoming class officers Many thanks to the outgoing officers: Lisa Indovino, Lynda Edwards, Lenora Paglia, and Lisa Bilbrey Hyder, and to Tracy Suitt Keogh, and Ruth Whitlock Foster who are graciously staying on.
Obituaries It is with great sadness that we report the deaths of two of our classmates, Martha McKay and Anne Van Dusen, both on June 25. Their obituaries are at these links:
