 Toby's 50th!
  
 Monday we drove to Cambridge for Toby's 50th class reunion at Harvard.
We didn't know quite what to expect, brought many changes of clothes for the many activities of the week,  wondered who we'd see, and were hoping for a nice room in a dorm on campus.



We caught up with some old friends of Toby's. Here's Tony Robbins, a friend since grade school days at City and Country in NYC!

 

And for me, a real treat to see my  Peace Corps townmate Lynn Frohnmeyer whose husband was in Toby's class. We searched for one another all week, finally connected the next to last day.



Toby's somewhere here for the class photo.


We got an early glimpse of the class of 2012 in cap and gown marching to their commencement.  This was taken from our screened window in our dorm room.
And yes, we did get a room all to ourselves in the ancient part of Quincy House, two connecting rooms and a bath--but totally tiny.  Pity on the two who have to live there year-round.


 
I'm posing in front of the old fireplace in our room (boarded up), dressed up to go, with the class, to the Boston Pops.  It seemed like a whirlwind week of feasts,  interesting seminars and lectures, and entertainment--not much time to just wander around, but we did browse in the Harvard Book Store for an hour or so.

and breakfast on the last day of a pretty nifty week.
