Asked why they will no longer host a class reunion, Jane Crittenden Talley promptly replied, “We’re old and many of us — between 78-80 years old — have various ailments.” Planning a reunion is hard work and many on the committee have done it since 1972, beginning with their first reunion and hosting a celebration every five years after.
