On Sept. 8th, 2001, a large group of the astoundingly attractive and accomplished women of the Hunter College High School Class of 1961 gathered for a sumptuous 40th Reunion luncheon at Quatorze Bis restaurant on East 79th St. The organizers were overjoyed that over half of our tiny class (originally 137 graduates, plus 6 more who had "Hunter in their bones" although they had left before senior year) had subscribed to this reunion, and the ultimate attendance of 65 justified our efforts. This reunion included many classmates who had never attended a reunion, as well as many who had not come to one in several years. Attendees even came from England, France, Germany, California and Canada.
The first hour or so of the reunion occurred on the street outside the small restaurant where folks wandered back and forth checking nametags and exclaiming "you look just the same" even when it was patently obvious that 40 years had done the work that 40 years is bound to do.
