The Wheatley School Alumni Association Luncheon 2025-10-05

The Wheatley School Alumni Association 2025 New York City Luncheon, held at Rosie O’Grady’s in Manhattan, was a superb success. The 33 intrepid attendees (“the Best of the Best”) ate, drank, and talked, talked, talked. Everyone had a brief moment in the limelight, stating their name, graduation year (one person had two), and a funny, interesting, unexpected fact about his or her life. The event started at 12:30 PM; some folks stayed as late as 4:00 PM. Photographs were taken more haphazardly than they should have been, but here are some.
