Virtual Wroxton Reunion

For the fall '99 class, who are busy, scattered, but wonderful people who sometimes get curious about each other's lives. Turn your card, and your card only. But post whenever you want.

Wroxton Postcards



These were a recent little purchase on a whim, and I thought I'd share a picture of them. They're all about a hundred years old. Some are used and so are postmarked with dates, but not all. I tried to order them, guessing based on the progression of the ivy!

There are some lovely messages: the middle on the left was sent to Miss M. Wells, 191 Hayley Road, Birmingham, postmarked 23 October 1909, and reads "Am pleased to say that the affair mentioned to you the other night passed off splendidly. Best wishes from yours sincerely H."

Deliciously, delicately cryptic.

It's That Time Again

The glorious NDJB will be Stateside for a week and a half in March for his semi-annual pilgrimage.

If you would like to get together for dinner between the 15th and 26th, drop me an email and I'll schedule something up.

Dinner: now way cheaper than those official FDU Wroxton Reunions, with lots more NDJB!

The Soon to Be Mr. and Mrs. N.D.J.B.

I don't know if it's entirely my place to make an announcement like this, cause it ain't none of my business in particular, but heck, it's official, neither of them post here, and I guess I'm a busybody, so here goes:

Dr. Baldwin and Vanessa Shields will be getting married in October.

In what I'm sure will be an absolutely lovely ceremony.

With particularly stunning musical selections chosen by a by-then-newly-married DJ.

The happy couple are registered at the E.U., the U.N., both houses of Parliament and the North Arms.

Just kidding about that last bit.

But in all seriousness, all kinds of happiness to them both for ever and ever.

London + 2 Weeks

Everyone at Wroxton is okay today, as well, thank goodness. Although I'd rather not have to keep saying that.

London Train Bombings

Everyone at Wroxton - Dr. B., staff, students - is okay.

Nobody was in London at the time.

It's at the Telephone Bar & Grill on 2nd Avenue between 9th and 10th.

This That and the Other

Congrats to Sarah and Frank!

Any thoughts on the election?

Happy Thanksgiving Week to All! I start my holiday this Wednesday while I celebrate "Family Day" at my son's school. He will walk in a parade with other 3 and 4 years olds, holding a banner made by himself, me & dad. The banner has family photos including the one with junior wearing the spagetti. I am looking foward to the weekend-- and resting some. Perhaps I may go see the 3-D Imax of Polar Express up in the Palisades Mall...

Cheers!
