Sara Sunstein writes, “I never did graduate from Brandeis, having left after the student strike to head to Berkeley, California, where I still live. I did ceramic sculpting and taught creativity, which morphed into hands-on bodywork, which I still practice and teach, with sculpting on the side. I made some fantastic friends at Brandeis. Anyone who knows me who’s wandering out this way, contact me at info@sarasunstein.com.” Ivy Weiner, who is celebrating 45 years of marriage to Jeffrey ’71, practices pediatrics part time.
