2025 Reunion to Celebrate 50th Anniversaries! July Update

Posted: May 22, 2025/By: windsor75

Our next Annual Windsor Mountain School Reunion will be Saturday, September 13, 2025, 11 am to 5 pm (No Rain Date). We will be celebrating 50 years since the last Class graduated, and on a happier note, the 50th Anniversary of Steve and Terri Frenkel who were both students, engaged on campus, and married in 1975. And yes let’s celebrate all our Windsor couples, as well as, all of us who will return to our beautiful campus at 45 West Street in Lenox this Fall that is almost the same as it was all those years ago in your memory. In a couple of weeks (mid July) I will be signing the Event Contract with Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI).
This will likely be the last WMS Reunion on campus for several years, if ever again. The reason is simple … we’re aging out. With each passing year more of us are less able to travel, or more importantly, there are fewer alums. Because an anonymous donor has offered to cover most of the cost of the Reunion BUTI contract, the cost per person will be $20 per person (as it was in 2016). So if the reason you can’t come this year is financial, we may be able to offset all or some of your travel/lodging expense. Let me know how we can help.

Will there finally be a WMS Legacy Tribute in Lenox? BUTI will not agree to any type of Plaque to be mounted in any building on the 45 West St property, however, they will allow a WMS tribute on the grounds, and have suggested it be in the form of a marker such as part of identifying a tree WMS alums donate. This was discussed as part of the 2023 Reunion, but since then, BUTI alums have in 2024 replaced many of the storm damaged trees. For 2025 it is hoped that WMS can as part of maintaining and enhancing the beauty of the campus be able to donate a memorial engraved bench near the Theater along with funding for other needed upgrades, as well as BUTI Scholarships. More on this project as details are worked out later.
