Next Reunion in 2005. Got news? Tap out a note to magazine@bates.edu! "This community was good to me and I think I owe it," says Caroline Keiger. After teaching social studies on Long Island for 35 years, she returned to her hometown of Clinton, Mass., to volunteer with the local Hospital Guild and serve as trustee of the Bigelow Library, president of Friends of the Senior Center, and as member of the Clinton Women's Club member. Caroline is glad to settle down where she grew up after a long teaching career and world-wide travel from Egypt, around Cape Horn, to the Orient and across Canada.
