Welcome to the Mount Holyoke College Class of 1965

---

We celebrated the “80thbirthdays of us all” with a Zoom Social, Oct.1.

The 32 registrants could choose between breakout rooms with the flowing themes:

1. Best things about being this age (80 or almost!)

2. Good ways to celebrate – how did you celebrate?

3. Exercise with purpose and panache

4. Travel with ease

5. New passions and pursuits

6. Challenges we encounter

7. Open

A number of classmates put on their fancy hats (some hand-decorated!)

Our toast:

To all of us, a group quite grand

A very smart, curious band

Leading lives both kind and weighty

Now lift we a glass to eighty

May long our friendships ever thrive

Here's to our mighty '65!

Several had made a mug cake from the recipes sent out.

And all --with occasional aid from Bev B Harrison or Sallie W Abbas-- found their way into the groups discussing the topics of their choice.

It was an enthusiastic social gathering from geographically-scattered places.
