Sonia Arora '05 had a special moment at her ten-year reunion in 2015: "I found myself sitting on the south lawn talking with two of my classmates, Ann Fountain ’05 and Beth Lassner ’05, both of whom have adorable sets of twins. I bounced them in my lap and wiped up a little happy drool. Beth and Ann and their partners later became a huge source of support for me when I had a surprise set of twins just two years later!"

Last Word: In other news, my grandson [Aden Schamess '21] – a third generation SLC student! – quite coincidentally applied to live next year in Morris House, which is where I spent my sophomore, junior, and senior years. He wasn’t lucky enough to get the room I had, however (the master bedroom with its own bathroom).
