(This completes the message below) her "look-alike"
was going to Smith, too! Ah, we were so young then... A year
later we were both at Smith making Salat! Just the beginning of
many similar journeys. Here's to many more! Much peace and many
blessings, my Sister. Mittie Imani |

| Comment: Sister Ka-Ren... Happy Birthday, my twin. For those Smithies who don't know, I met Karen first. She came to Cleveland for CWRU's pre-fresh weekend. I belonged to their Black Student Alliance even as a high shchooler, and was helping out. Everyone kept telling me about this sister who looked just like me. (She was just a year younger!) We finally hooked up when her mother phoned her to say that she'd been accepted to Smith. Low and behold, someone told her that her "look-alike" was going to | ||

Dear Karen, Well my sistuh - you have made it over. Welcome, welcome to this glorious feat. 50 ain't so bad. (The aches and pains are what get me!). But, I also now have an excuse for being so dingy and forgetful. I just blame it on my rite of passage to the great ole 50s. On a serious note, God has richly blessed us to be able to know you on your 50th. Thank you. Happy, Happy Blessed Birthday! and many, many more. Take Care. God Bless, Love ya, Roz |

Dear Karen, I was out of town and missed posting before your big day (thanks, Linda, for getting the word to me!), but I hope my birthday greetings get posted to you at least after the fact. The pictures are wonderful, you look beautiful. It has been a few years and many miles since Smith, but it's nice to know there is still a connection. Welcome to the 50+ club and many happy returns. Hope your 50th was a wonderful day and all best wishes for a great 50th year! Love, Daisey, '7 |

Well, Love, as the newest member of the over 50 club, you may be strolling down memory lane (one of my all-time favorite streets) as you reflect upon the first half-century of your life. If so, lemme give you a few headlines: "Lathen Attends Pre-Freshmen Weekend & Begins Lifelong Lovefest with Smith, Lyons, Smith & Morgan," "Lathen & Lyons have Marathon, Soul-Searching Chat at HoJo's in Boston," >>Continued | ||

| Comment: Dearest Karen, You and I have shared a strong bond for 33 years and over the course of those years we have laughed, cried, shared together and supported each other through life's challenges and blessings. We've discovered so many similarities about our families and have rejoiced and celebrated those revelations. I am so happy we both wound up at Smith, as that was the beginning of our enduring friendship. As you celebrate your 50th birthday, keep in mind that you are truly blessed with family | ||

We go WAY BACK, as my mom was fond of saying to her friends. It is nice to think about the stages of our lives that have intersected -- grade school, Jack and Jill, pre-college angst, Smith, boyfriends, post Smith Black alums. …. Continued>> | ||
