1950

I am sorry to say that I do not have much news this time, but I do not like to see an empty space in the 1950 column, so here goes. My latest trip was a great Tauck tour of the Canadian Maritimes. I had been to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick quite a few years ago, but I had never been to Prince Edward Island.

Carmen Zeppenfeldt Catoni’s granddaughter graduated from the University of West Virginia, and her younger sister is to graduate from Mary Washington in 2012. There is only one more grandson to go to college, and he wants to be a doctor. Carol Bailey Miller hoped to travel some with her sister, Ruth, who lives in Naples, Fla. Carol was to visit her on Thanksgiving, then go with her to Key West. Being on Virginia’s Cumberland County Planning Commission and in charge of publicity for the county’s garden club and chapter of the Red Hat Society keeps Carol busy. Mim Sollows Wieland’s son, Tom, came across an old slide of Mim and her family at a garden party at Brompton, probably taken during our freshman year. Mim was in a fancy dress, holding on to her wide-brimmed white hat. Her mother and sister wore similar hats and gloves that matched their dresses. Do you remember those days?

I am sorry to read in the “In Memoriam” column the names of so many of our classmates. We can only look back and remember them fondly during those happy times on campus. Please contact me with news so the next column will be longer.
