Catalina has left happy memories. I have intersected with
former classmates along the way – seeing our brilliant
classmates Connie McMillan and Margaret Hagen who were
working on their Phd.s in Mathematics (do you realize how
remarkable that was for women in the 60’s?) while doing my
graduate work at Stanford. I remember seeing Emily Kittle’s
older brother in the Law library while studying there. Imagine
how surprised I was when Jeff Shofner walked into my room as
head OB Resident during my first child’s birth at Stanford
Hospital. (No, no, Jeff, I think I’ll pass on the exam). Judy Allen
and I got together with our two little daughters when we first
lived in Atherton. She was just coming off her Fulbright year
and had some impressive plans. There was the time I met a
new friend who also turned out to be a friend of Jane
Flickinger’s and we both made one call to her to Southern
California. I don’t think Jane caught on to how we could both
be the phone to her at once! I used to keep in close touch
with Penny Bowman though all her travels and romances. I
remember seeing her when she was the VIP Hostess in the
Continental Airline Lounge in Denver. I still exchange cards
with Julie DeRocher. I loved catching up with Diane Jeffries
when visiting Tucson for my younger brother’s 60th a few
years ago.
Yes, I did meet and marry someone I met at Stanford (Gary
Kirk MBA ’67) and we will be married 44 very happy years in
December. Our daughter is married to a professor and
research scientist at Stanford (what a small world) and we
have 3 grandchildren. Our son is doing graduate research in
New Zealand. Gary and I divide our time between Marin and
Carmel (the best of both worlds). I have had the privilege of
being one of the 10% of women who have been able to
volunteer for everything – school and community: Board of
Directors for various schools, SF Jr. League, Food Bank,
Friends of the Library, BSF Children’s Leader, and ACBL
(Volunteer of the Year for 1998). Speaking of volunteers,
thanks to all of you who have put us back in touch at this
stage of our lives.
