When asked about her favorite memories from Newcomb, Lucinda replied, "The Tulanians – I was a member of the popular singing group The Tulanians. In 1973 we received a USO appointment to tour Germany and the Netherlands for 8 weeks. Yes, we had fun! The Tulanians continue to have singing/dining reunions in New Orleans. Tulane Theatre in the ’70s was vibrant. Dr. Buzz Podewell, who was instrumental in founding the Summer Shakespeare Festival here in N.O., was one of my professors and chaired my Senior independent study. My sorority sisters in Pi Beta Phi were great fun and several are friends today. A group of us were the first women to reside in co-ed housing at Tulane!"
