Julie Lenti Danielson, class of 1972, writing from California, where she has worked as a high school counselor for more than 25 years. She remembers classmates and Sisters, says the good times are too many to write down, and regrets losing contact with classmates over the past 30 years. She married Dean Danielson, West Point class of 1971, a classmate of Bill Lennox, whose wife Ann was her own classmate. Undated.
I will never forget the wonderful classmates and Sisters st Ladycliff. I will always have a home in my heart for all of you. I grew up at Ladycliff as so many of us did....and for that,I am blessed and thankful. There are numerous good times- too many to write but the overall feeling of joy, laughter and love comes to mind when I think of my years at Ladycliff.
I just feel so badly and have for the past 30 years that I have lost contact with so many classmates that were truly family to me. I hope this can bring us back! Of course living on the west coast dosen`t help! I love this college, the people, the Sisters and the traditions.
I tell everyone out here about my fantastic College experience-along with sharing SOME of the experiences with my own chlildren..who of course are now 30 and 25!!!
Since I have been a high school counselor for the past 25+ years, I encourage all of my students to have a college experience.
I know that no one could have the experiences we all had at Ladycliff!
I hope that someday I will return and meet up with some of you. Please see me out here in sunny Calif.
I married Dean Danielson- West Point classof 1971-Bill Lennox`s classmate- and Ann and myself were classmates! My best to all and may God be with each and every one of you!
