Class Notes
These Class Notes reflect information we received by September 15. The Class Notes deadline for the next issue is December 15.
Class Notes are the lifeblood of Reed Magazine. While a Reed education confers many special powers, omniscience is unfortunately not among them; your classmates rely on you to tell us what’s going on. So share your news! Tell us about births, deaths, weddings, voyages, adventures, transformations, astonishment, woe, delight, fellowship, discovery, and mischief. Email us at reed.magazine@reed.edu. Post a note online at iris.reed.edu. Find us on Facebook via “ReediEnews.” Scribble something in the enclosed return envelope. Or mail us at Reed magazine, Reed College, 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd, Portland OR 97202. Photos are welcome, as are digital images at 300 dpi. And don’t forget the pertinent details: name, class year, and your current address! As of September 2019, new class notes are available online in pdf form in our digital magazine. If you have any questions or concerns, let us know.

1968
After a blessed career as a civil rights lawyer and children’s policy advocate, Lois Salisbury retired 10 years ago to pursue another passion, tennis. (While at Reed, she learned to play squash. Later, her yen for racquet sports morphed into a love of tennis.) Then, a big challenge came along. She became the cochair of the Tennis Coalition of San Francisco, whose initial undertaking was the complete renovation of the historic public tennis center in Golden Gate Park. Six years later, the new $27 million facility opened in March, built where tennis has been played since 1895, near the Conservatory of Flowers. The convergence of spring, COVID waning, a safe sport, and a stunning new public facility instantly yielded a happy, hopping place. Under the new night lights, the 16-court public, affordable facility is busy every night
until 10:00 p.m. In September, Lois celebrated her 75th birthday among many friends at the tennis center and was surprised and honored by a declaration from San Francisco Mayor London Breed that September 19, 2021 was Lois Salisbury Day in San Francisco! Otherwise, she and her husband Bob live happily on
