HIGHLIGHT FROM THE 45th REUNION BOOK: Alyse Otvos Baker (SM)

September 12, 2018 in Notes

“An apt metaphor for life since graduation might be that of a rubber band ball. Each experience—graduate school, internship, career, continuing ed, research, children, companion animals, loss of family members, relationships, moves—has added a different component. Some “bands” have fit better than others. Some have been glorious, some disastrous; but the trick has been to keep moving, regardless of the degree of success or challenge. I do not feel “finished” yet with any undertaking. I would like to live long enough to see the planet, especially the USA, return to sanity; to witness a resumption of efforts to preserve the delicate ecology of our “pale blue dot”; to have reason to hope that my children, as well as everyone else’s children, will be able to navigate safely through the present and future.”
