Dorothy (Daisy) Kates's Page

Greetings from Tucson! Hi Daisy! I live in Tucson (3 years) almost moved to Santa Fe several times over the years. Would love to reconnect with you. All the best.

Hi Daisy, Just a quick hello. I still remember the lovely visit we had a few years ago when I visited you and Evelyn when I was with my friend Gloria Schwartz. How is everything? I leave for Atlanta to be with Debby for a few weeks.
Have a good summer!

Hi Daisy. This is Elaine Wolff writing. I definitely remember you; although now I need to jog my memory a bit to remember more stuff. I know we were in many of the same classes and of course we lived near one another. Maybe our moms were friends in Hadassah? Anyway, I live on the upper west side of Manhattan and retired from being a city employee in the social service (child welfare) world here. Would love to "reconnect".....

Thanks, Daisy.

Hi, I wondered if you or any of your classmates from 58 remember Joel Epstein, Marc Gradstein, or Alan Fleisig; they were in your class, I think. I lived in the same courtyard as they did, across the street from 164, in the garden apartments on 138th street. Do any of you know what has become of them?
Best, Bonnie Kaufman Rothschild '59

Deal. I think quite a few of us were pulled to the west. I know that Alice Ornstein moved to LA early and is now (well, last I heard some years ago) living with horses on a ranch in Colorado. I headed for SF when I was 17. The landscape where you live is deep in your art, of course. Wonderful.

Yes, I found you via google. I also found that someone took a cropped photo of your house and I must know: are there photos of it available? It looks quite magical. I think you have some fascinating tales to tell! I went through a lot for a number of years "curing myself" of my upbringing (my poor parents!!), but found enormous excitement and satisfaction being a therapist, especially in a college setting. Did you make your family as distraught as I did as you found your way in the world? It's pretty amusing, in a bittersweet way, to reflect on this as a 60-something. Here we are!

Well, hi there Daisy Kates. I truly have looked for you through the years. hooray for this site-connector. I would love to see you again and have a life catch up. You were one of the girls I really really liked and sought out (and I wasn't a girl's girl). We do photography for educational publishing (hutchingsphotography.com) and I write non fiction children's books. Life does steer us on random paths. We live in Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley amid much wildlife. I love the woods. Will you come to the reunion? It would certainly motivate me. Best regards, Amy

Hi, Daisy. Do you still go by "Daisy"? I lost "Alan" about 40 years ago, somehow or another. Have you been in NM for all/most of that time? What a beautiful place to retire! Way to go, girl! I spent several years when I should've been in college doing hippie things and ended up in California, of course. I've been doing clinical/counseling psych since 1982, so I guess it's turned out to be my career. I'm hoping to do a partial retirement shortly. Great to learn about how you've been.
