	99		CLASS CORRESPONDENT Lindsay Hayes Williams College Baxter Hall-Box 3143 Williamstown, MA 01267 203-655-4664 classnews1999@alum.colby.edu
	As the class agent for the Class of '99, I have been the receiver of so many wonderful updates from so many of you. It is a joy to report on the new jobs, new cities, new marriages and new directions that all of you have taken on and are succeeding in. We're on our fourth year out of Colby (as hard as it is to believe), and as we all probably expected, we're becoming adults. When I was asked to write these quarterly columns after we graduated, it did not occur to me that someday I would inevitably be the bearer of the worst kind of news. This fall brought terrible sadness to many members of the Colby community, as the Class of 1999 lost two beloved classmates. On September 11, 2002, Kristina Stahl passed away. And on September 25, 2002, Susan Cragin passed away. Both deaths broke the hearts of so many friends from Colby, and the families of both Kristina and Susan are in our thoughts and prayers. . . . Susan and Kristina, we love you. --Lindsay Hayes   top  |  next
