"Confessions of the Classmate Who Never Was, Northfield School for Girls Class of 1964" When I was sixteen, I spent the summer working at the Northfield Summer Conferences which were held on the campus of Northfield School for Girls. I fell in love with the place, the people and the enchanting Northfield Chateau. Unable to persuade my parents to send me to the boarding school, I settled for dreaming about the place. As an adult I began giving money to the annual alumnae drive and one year a flustered secretary phoned me asking what class I had been affiliated with. Why 1964, of course! After that I was invited to reunions and my "news" appeared in the alumnae publication. In 2004 came the announcement that the Northfield campus was closing. That was the spark that prompted me to return for "my" 40th Reunion. This is that story. For people who loved the now-long-gone Chat there are pictures and even floor plans.

| "Radiation Buddies"Archie and Sue had been fast friends since high school, weathering college, job searches, relationships, marriages and divorces together. In 2006 they faced their greatest challenge when each one was diagnosed with cancer. After surgery they both were told that the next step would be radiation therapy. By sheer coincidence, the long-time friends were scheduled to undergo the grueling two-month “standard of care” treatment at the same time. Their daily emails describe the ups and downs and the encouragement they offered one another. There are good days and bad days, instructional material and humorous anecdotes. Sue’s journal gives a concise description of her fight with breast cancer. This is a must-read for anyone approaching or going through radiation. Every story will be different, but the attitude held by these two is inspirational. This book is about cancer, the process, the medical community, friendship, but most of all, it is about survival.

| "The Sallie and Stacy Saunders Story"
Sallie (Harding) Saunders and her husband, Stacy Saunders, were pioneers in so many ways, and those of us descended from them deserve to hear the full story. This volume is the condensation of a century of letters, journals, photographic records, genealogical charts and personal memories. Sallie and Stacy eloped in 1909 when she was 19 and he was 21. The life they created for themselves from that time forward is the story presented here. As newlyweds they taught school in Puerto Rico for a year, carefully documenting their stay in photographs for their families in Massachusetts and Washington State. Some of those photographs are included here. Sallie became a medical doctor, eventually becoming the Director of Maternal and Child Care in Massachusetts. She was responsible for innovations and legislation designed to provide care for premature infants and better care for both mothers and babies in hospitals across the state. Stacy lost his eyesight as a young man, and even with this challenge, graduated from law school and began working on cases for Harvard University. After seventeen years of being blind, a miraculous surgery restored his eyesight. The history of Sallie and Stacy and their families intertwines with the history of the towns of West Medway, Hopedale and Winthrop, Massachusetts. The reader will find personalized accounts of hurricanes and blizzards that buffeted the New England coast; notations about Winthrop’s narrow gauge railroad; descriptions of the boat building business their son-in-law and grandson became involved with; and remembrances of the 1960 Electra plane crash right in front of their house. The reader will meet the extended families of Sallie and Stacy, trace the family tree and follow their daughters and grandchildren as they grow. The special places they called home over the years are described in words and photos…all of which is The Story of Sallie and Stacy Saunders.

| "The Night We Broke Into The Northfield Chateau"
Written and Illustrated By Sue Chapman Melanson
The Northfield Chateau was a landmark in western Massachusetts from the time it was built in 1903 until it was demolished in 1963. A year before the magnificent structure met the wrecking ball the author and several friends spent an unsanctioned evening exploring the 125-room summer home of the Schell family of New York. The memories and images of that evening were captured on a primitive Brownie camera. The photographs and negatives became dog-eared and faded over the years until Sue Melanson resurrected them through her watercolor paintings. Along with her detailed artwork, she has included vivid descriptions of the Chateau as well as background information about its owners and their lifestyle, and even floor plans for the reader to enjoy.
