In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.

Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

"Small Steps" Chosen for NYC Exhibition Catalog "Stories We Tell"


"Small Steps," a triptych, was chosen for the exhibition catalog of "Stories We Tell," part of the Feminist Art Project. The juror for the NYC show at Phoenix Gallery is Jessica Porter, owner of Porter Contemporary, an art gallery in Chelsea. 

The Women's Caucus for Art announces a national show, Stories We Tell, portraying the rich tradition of visual storytelling through women's voices. What What stories do we tell ourselves, make up about ourselves, tell others, or share with our families, friends and the larger world? What needs to be heard? Whether activist or abstract, we are seeking artwork that addresses your aesthetic, political, or philosophical perspectives. Storytelling is central to human existence, common to every known culture and women are usually the record-keepers and the storytellers of the family. We use spoken and visual narratives to make sense of our world and to share that understanding with others. Your story may be activist/political, a contemporary interpretation of an ancient myth, or based on personal or family stories.
