Turning 60 has been an invitation to pause and look back on the path that brought us here. For me, it has meant reflecting on life not as a linear process of advancement, but as a spiral path: of growth and regression ("one step up, two steps back,” as Bruce says), disappointment and loss, passion...

In this month's Turning 60 letter, '88's Mary Elizabeth Callie takes us from the halls of Hanselman to the highways of America, sharing adventures, familiar classmates, and a few harrowing moments along the way.

Beneath her great stories is something deeper: a reflection on how Holy Cross shaped her values, her life's work, and her understanding of what really matters.

Part travelogue, part tribute to Holy Cross, and a beautiful acknowledgment of the friendships that endure.

Watch your inbox for Mary Beth's letter later this week!

Thank you Matt Tracy for writing on 60! Check your inbox, folks!

My 60th birthday was in June. As somebody who can be a little morbid, I thought that if the average lifespan is 80 years, then us 60-year-olds have just started the fourth quarter.

🏀 THE FOURTH QUARTER

What happens when you turn 60 and realize that—if life were a basketball game—you’ve just entered the fourth quarter?

The Class of 88's Matt Tracy takes that idea and runs with it, looking back at what Holy Cross gave him for the years that followed: keep learning, be kind, lean on your friends, and keep the faith.

And because this is the Class of ’88, there’s also room for the Mets, the Knicks, Jalen Brunson, The Terminator, senior discounts—and a little skepticism about AI. 😂 A true lawyer, Matt still writes letters on a legal pad, as pictured here.

His fourth-quarter advice? Don’t give up. Be patient. Keep at it. Keep it close.

The full letter will arrive in your inbox later this week.

Here’s to making the most of the fourth quarter—and maybe getting lucky enough to have an overtime or two. 💜

Congratulations to Stephanie Fell, who got married this past weekend! Wishing her and husband Dallas much love and joy! As you might expect for a Fell wedding, the College of the Holy Cross was well represented! Classes of ‘86, ‘87, ‘88 and ‘89, were among those celebrating! I count eight class of ‘88ers in this photo! ❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜🎊🍾🍾
