4 The College of New Jersey Magazine L to R: Barbara Moeller, Elizabeth Turner, Lorraine Conary, Patricia MacPherson, and Clare Klunk FRIENDLY NOTES You asked for friendship stories in your last issue ("The one with all the friends," spring 2024). Meet the Fab Five: Barbara Badishian Moeller '64, Clare Dvoranchik Klunk '64, Elizabeth Perry Turner '64, Lorraine Knapik Conary '64, and Patricia Haschak MacPherson '64. We met as elementary education majors and have remained loving friends for 60 years. We often reminisce about our happy years at TSC. We pledged sororities, practiced teaching at Antheil School, and took a spring break trip to Bermuda. We're proud to be graduates of such a fine college that has grown in its status. LORRAINE CONARY '64 My Theta Phi Alpha sorority sisters and I pledged together 20 years ago ("The one with all the friends," spring 2024). We bonded during our pledge season and spent the next few years enjoying being sorority sisters, attending events like Homecoming and the Step Show, and planning events so we'd see each other over summer break. We continued our summer get-togethers after graduation, and we recently went on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina, to celebrate our friendship anniversary. Crediting TCNJ for this group of women is an understatement. We've been able to celebrate so many wonderful things in our lives — from families and children to successes in our careers to volunteering. We are truly grateful for the friendship that has grown over the years.
