This past summer Mairead O’Connor Jacoby visited Melisse Gerson Burstein and family, accompanied by husband Seth and kids Brigitte, 11, and Ronan, 9. Last summer’s mini-reunion in Saratoga was strictly for the ladies. Lisa McGowan Reagan, Margie Kehm Roney, Leslie Burt Bell, Michele Verni Sacerdote, and Robin Forester Kauff got together again two weeks later, with kids in tow, at Susan Anrig Lichten’s house. (There were a total of 22 kids there.) They were joined by Wendy Waldstein Sims and Melisse Burstein. They treated themselves to spa pampering and dining out, while reliving Skidmore memories. There was lots of laughter as stories were retold at Susan’s house to all the kids and spouses. The reunion is an annual event.
