Sisters of the Sixties Keep the
Bonds of Sisterhood Strong
F
ive years ago, four Alpha Nu sisters began a commitment to reestablish their
bond each year. The first reunion was organized by Diana Dunbar Ross '62 in
Sunnyvale, Calif. The next year, Mary Preston '61 lured them to Bracey, Va., and
Kure Beach, N.C. The third year, Linda Choun Rydberg '62 had them achieving
new heights in the mountains of Colorado. The fourth year was skipped because
Mary fell and broke her femur. As soon as she was able to travel again, they enjoyed
Texas hospitality and explored the Hill Country with Sally Forker Lee '62 in San
Antonio. This year, the group will gather in Columbia for Homecoming to see the
improvements to the chapter house. They are hoping that other alumnae from the
1960s will meet with them. Go to Sisters of the Sixties Facebook page to get more
details, or contact Diana at dianalross@gmail.com or Linda at (303) 770-6939.
