School Story

I loved watching the campus through the seaons! I loved bringing friends and family to enjoy Tufts... my little cousin to stay in a dorm and decorate a parade float, my grandfather coming every Friday night to McPhee elegant dining....

One recent Tufts story comes to mind. I remember Tufts being a welcoming and open place.. well... I usually take my blind ballet pianist out for Thanksgiving dinner with her husband.. well a few years ago she wanted to “see” Tufts ... so we parked outside the former Cohen auditorium... and I was going to walk her out around the back arts terrace near Alumnae Hall where I was married.. and being diabetic she had to go to the bathroom... so we went inside and were headed the bathroom when we were surrounded by security guards demanding to know what we were doing... they didn’t even believe me when I produced my license,my old Tufts ids and my HNRC Lab security I’d....it was a shock ...they didn’t believe that I was an alum! My friend never forgot the incident... she was hurt and embarrassed... / I was afraid to take her back to Tufts... so I took her to one of the other universities.. I was degreed at and affiliated with..and boy were they really welcoming.... I didn’t even have to produce an ID etc....her remark, what is it with this Tufts anyway???

So enjoy your jovial presence on reunion committees .. do you do antique furniture too ? / I almost took you seriously… you should learn Israeli dance…/ my husband is from Westport Conn. / I am genetically white, black, oriental…. Persian, / used to do a lot of fun things for reunions… met with friends for picnic on hill, dorm games, had one of my consorts play Tufts songs in bookstore, played harp on library roof, crashed other reunions, … even snuck into the Delt house in drag pretending I was Laurie..almost didn’t graduate cause Tufts said I owed them for folding chairs not returned after college meeting..and do many more fun things.. I never went to pops. … but went to Sunday school on Tuesdays with A Fiedler’s daughter Jenny, my great aunt in law taught AF Caoe Breton Fiddle…..I never knew you at Tufts… my mom and I were the ones recycling Christmas trees from the frat houses…both my husband ( Lehigh EE) and I were both approached but we retreated! ….Delta Zeta was after me …. I wasn’t into paper sculpture ../ my still frat friends were Joe Restuccia, Ron Arslanian and Byron Hartunian .. Theta Chi ?? / my brother in law John was in frat at Union College and he loved Windsor chairs.. which our dog chewed! …a lot of my friends were in eating clubs at Princeton …I was more into dance and music and lab sciences than those things..
