After golf, yoga, faculty minicolleges and fun on the greens, classmates topped off the weekend with dinners, dancing and fireworks. Sibyl Water- man Haley ’71, president of the alumni board, said, “To share confidences, open hearts to friends and leave feeling blessed by Skidmore connections … there’s nothing like it!”  Videos and more are at skidmo.re/reunion18.
