The Women of '72

Dedicated to the Women of ’72, these pages originated in some sweet serendipity shared by the 16 women of our class who happened to come together at the women’s brunch during our 45^th Reunion in 2017.  Five years later, 23 Women of ’72 (more than a third of our total number) came together with intention and spirit on the milestone occasion of our 50^th Reunion to revel in friendships old and many new.

Exuberant marches behind our Women of ’72 banner have become a joyful fixture at P-Rades since that 45^th.  We now lead the ’72 contingent so all can bask in the cheers and applause that greet us along the route—every year!

Best of all is sharing among ourselves the march of time across the years, marveling at the richness of our stories rooted in shared experience as ’72 women pioneers.  Wherever and whenever we come together.  And especially through these pages.  If you haven’t visited in a while, check out these recently updated sections for more of those marvelous stories: 

Student Years  for vignettes and survey responses collected as source material for our women’s essay in the 50^th Reunion Classbook.

Welcome Cameos briefly introducing more recent e-list subscribers to our Women of ’72 virtual community.

Pioneer Profiles diving deeper into life stories of featured classmates – more to come soon. 

50^th Reunion Classbook – More than half of us contributed in-depth profiles for our directory listings in that masterwork of ’72 history.  You can see page numbers here to find those profiles in the print version.  You can also view them on the website by searching on name (right sidebar search tools) in the Our Class/ Yearbook section.  

We all love hearing about recent happenings in our lives as well!  And all are invited to contribute news and musings from these surprising “advancing years” where we now find ourselves – by posting directly to either the new News & Musings page or the Retirement Becomes Us page on the left sidebar menu.  Or just send to your editor, and we’ll take it from there.
