John Henry Low
Sally Carroll Keating
report-
ed, “My husband, Michael, and I
met up in early July with
Sandy
Schwartz
and his wife, Suzie,
over brunch in Denver. We were
meeting our first grandchild,
Rocco Francis Slayman, and
Sandy and Suzie were there re-
ceiving excellent reports on an
orthopedic surgery that Sandy
had undergone in June. Sandy
was the same upbeat, friendly,
kind, and interesting friend I
remembered from Millville. It’s
amazing how easy and comfort-
able these reunions are, even
after not seeing a fellow alum
for more than 40 years.”
Julia Jordan Alexander
writes: “After a 40-year lapse
and three-year gestation pe-
riod, five former members of
the SPS community gathered
at Roberta and Rod Tenney’s
idyllic Maine home, Spindrift.
Roberta, one of SPS’s earliest
female mentors and counselors
to the first SPS girls as well as
an accomplished history teach-
er, and Rod, a pioneer male
faculty “wife,” graciously hosted
a meaningful platform for this
August 2015 mini-reunion.
Prodded by the gentle persis-
tence of
Heidi Horner ’73
and
her craving for lobster,
Deb Sis-
tare Holsapple
traversed the
U.S. from her home in north-
west Idaho while I flew north
fromFlorida’s Gulf shores. Once
again, the threads of shared
SPS experiences intertwined,
but this time among the exalted
waters and tall pines of Phipps-
burg.” Julia reported that week-
end activities included a trip to
the Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens, sailing on Sebasco
Harbor and Small Point, and
exploring the sands and rocks
of PophamBeach. Her narrative
concluded, “From a privately
printed collection of Bill Oates’s
sermons, Rod eloquently read
aloud the lesson delivered on
that historic and frigidly cold
January 1971 morning when
girls took their place as full
citizens of the SPS community.
The former Rector spoke of
changing times, cutting-edge
technology (super microfiche),
and the power as well as the
possibilities of joy, knowledge,
and an inclusive community.”
Henry Laughlin
, known to
have his guests return from his
Rocky Mountain aerie maimed
and disfigured from extreme
sports (at least according to a
legend previously narrated in
this column by
Howie Grace
)
came out East for a change.
Henry wrote, “I met up with
two SPS alums in N.Y.C. during
my two wonderful days there.
Went for a 20-mile bike ride up
