What a fabulous experience, going back to Wells for my 50th reunion. It was very special reconnecting with so many classmates that I had lost track of and seeing again the classmates that I had kept in touch with. I was struck by what interesting and productive lives everyone had led. What a remarkable collection of life stories!
And it was so stimulating to hear what a strong, positive force the Wells experience had been on our lives. Our years at Wells were powerfully formative years.
What a splendid place to study and learn and to prepare ourselves for the real world! What a splendid setting in which to forge and nurture friendships with other women and with our professors!
THE BEAUTIFUL WELLS CAMPUS
I was struck by the great beauty of the campus. I knew that it was
beautiful but I don't think I really appreciated it as fully as I should
have.The lake, oh, the lake! Lake Cayuga, a jewel in upstate New York. The most beautiful of the Finger Lakes.

ROOMING AGAIN IN WELD
The Class of 1963, the Golden Class this year, was housed in Weld. I lived in this dorm my sophomore and junior years. Ah, the memories!

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2018
I am already looking forward to our 55th reunion. I will try to keep in touch better from now on with my Wells friends.
