tremor. . . . [T]he fel low juror seated
to my right literally Aew over me
on his way to the open doorway on

crouched on my k nees. . . . There
must have been l 2 or 1 5 ofus huddled
together on the floor, our a rms
around one a nother. 'This looks l i ke
a footba l l huddle' passed through
my m i nd. Next to me on the right, a
young woman . . . was terrified and
I felt sorry for her. The woman said,
' I have a two-year-old daughter. I 've
got to get home,' in a tone of voice
that told me she didn't expect she
ever would . . . . I hugged the woman
tightly and said very calm ly, ' I t's OK.
\l\Te're goi ngto be a l right.' . . . Chunks
of plaster began fa 11 i ng from the

no e a rt h q u a k e I h a d ever been

we have a l l been waiting for. The
whole bu i l d i ng was being shaken
apart . . . . Holding the young woman
more tightly I said, 'You're a beauti

Our 40th reunion by now has
become a memory for those who
attended. I f you d i d n ' t m a k e it
this ti me, you have only five years
to get ready to attend the next
one' . . . Speaking of memories, I
was del ighted recently to fi nd in my
e-mail box a long, nosta lgia-inspiring
message from Diane Sadler Martin .
This was prompted b y a phone call
from "a fresh young voice from the
Colby campus," as Diane described
it, asking for a contribution to the
Alumni Fund in honor of ou r reunion
year. Although Diane left us after
two years and graduated from the
University of Virgi nia, she contrib
uted some money to the fund. And
some memories to t h i s col u m n :
a m i nd-expa n d i ng course c a l l e d
Problems i n Creative Th i n k i n g;
Col i n MacKay's advanced freshman
English course; roles in Powder and
Wig productions of Under Milkwood,
for which she learned to play the
recorder, and A !Vlidsmmmr's Night
Drea111, i n which she played Puck.
Perhaps most memorable for Diane,
a sou therner, was sno w ' To the
consternation of roomm ates a n d
