1950s
1980s
Susy Hastings Mallory ’58 On the off chance that anyone from our class finds herself near Memphis or Bozeman, Montana, where our family spends a lot of time, please reach out. I would love to reconnect. In the next several months I will publish “Blue Amen,” my first collection of poems. Just in case anyone might be interested. I send wishes for good health to everyone during our happy birthday 80th year.
Ashley Jones Tagatac ’82 Hi all! What a crazy year. The one thing that has kept me going is the Ancient community. The Alumnae Board and the Board of Trustees are amazing teams guiding MPS and the Ancients through these challenging times. I thank them. Please take a look at the Ancients site on the MPS website for updates on all the work done to keep the girls safe, as well as our DEI work. We also held several events to connect Ancients either casually or with educational pieces.
1960s Brenda Johnson Dick ’66 and John Dick (whom I was dating in 1966) and May Humphreys Fox ’66 and Charlie Fox at Freycinet Lodge, Tasmania, Australia, February 2020. The photo below was taken days before our Three Capes trek of four days with 20-pound packs … we looked a lot soggier at that point!
— Please provide the full names of every Ancient in the photo (from left to right) and the date and location of the occasion. Include your name, your year and a caption for every image. —

On a personal note: I have loved having Madeline Tagatac ’16 home for her junior spring (not sure she would say the same). Her study abroad in Korea was canceled, so we spent the spring cooking and gaining the “COVID-19.” I have been working from home since February, when she came home, and am so happy to have more time now that I am not commuting to NYC from Stowe each week. Of course, that time was sucked up by work ... but I’m thankful to be employed! I loved having more time with the college kids when Cameron came home to join his sister in March. They are back on campus now, so Chris and I are empty nesters again. If you have not seen Susan Cattaneo’s live performances on Facebook, please take a look. They are amazing, uplifting, and a reminder that we have great talent in our class! I loved the Zoom call we had earlier in the year. Maybe we can do it again? I also want to thank our class reps, Susan Reed and Pammy McKee. They are doing a great job, and I will join them next fall when I roll off the AB and the BOT.
