Gathering in the
UK organized by our Correspondent Pat Tanner ON 52’
I never expected to live one of the
happiest moments in the UK.
The reunion that you organised, held at the London
Rowing Club was full of emotions. That Sunday 22nd of April was to
become a memorable day. Jehane Flint Taylor who lives in the US and me
were once again together having lunch as in many previous occasions at
Northlands, as the Headmistress and the Spanish Rectora discussing
academic issues. We were both stunned. We had so many things to speak
about, so many unfinished topics. Life went back to 1983 and onwards.
Jehane had especially come to be at the reunion.
She knows many old northlanders who live in the UK. Many like her came
from afar, Oxford, Edinburgh, to name a few. For all of them it was
worth the journey.
We were so many, all happy to be there,
remembering old times, chatting and laughing as though we were school
girls again. I had a wonderful time and felt at home.
I want to thank you for allowing these things to happen and for keeping
the old school spirit in a distant place but with a familiar surrounding,
Tigre, in London. You are
the embodiment of the school motto, Friendship and Service.
Warm regards and please continue
being the link.

Celebrando Décadas: Cocktail 10 años de egresadas,
camada 97’
 El
jueves 21 de junio cincuenta ex-alumnas de la camada 97’ asistieron a la
celebración de sus 10 años de egresadas. Ingresaron al Brightman Hall al
son del himno del Colegio y decidieron juntar los pequeños livings que
se habían dispuesto, para sentarse todas juntas. Disfrutaron de un rico
cocktail entre conversación y conversación. Luego fueron sorprendidas
por una pareja que bailó salsa al compás de la música cubana y que
rápidamente las invitó a bailar. Ya rendidas, decidieron sentarse para
seguir conversando.
“La verdad es que la pasamos barbaro y
la comida riquísima. ¡Lamentablemente ahora tenemos que esperar 10 años
mas para que se repita! Muchas gracias, Sofía Landaburu ON 97’ ”
