Dear Classmate,
Are you an artist, a writer, a crafter, a collector or a hobbyist? Is your spouse or significant other?
Do you write, paint, play an instrument, sculpt, sing, photograph, dance, film, draw, act, mime, craft, do stand-up, engrave, do 3D printing, or . . .
Ten years ago Tim Merrill gathered the achievements of our classmates in the form of the titles of some 193 books, stories and articles written by seventy-two of us. In anticipation of our 50th, a discussion on our class listserve led to expanding on Tim’s concept.
This is the place for you to share your creative work and connect on another level. Class widows and your spouse or significant other are equally welcome to contribute to it.
Below we explain how to make a submission, but first please read the Terms of Submission which we have been advised is a requirement for this type of project.
