Class Notes

I still play Bridge, am involved with Church activities, and get around—usually with a cane or another’s arm! We had a big family reunion combined with my 93rd birthday with all my children, “greats,” and “grands” from Germany, California, and New Jersey. There were 40 in all, including seven “greats” under six years old. Great weather! My son Don has been living with me and helps me a lot. Three of my girls are also in the area and are always there to help if needed.

Marie Kennedy Robins is holding on, but barely, in the independent living level of a retirement community in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Her traveling times are over except for a daily turn around the pond. Life is good but slows as one ages.

Elizabeth Cumby Murray says that her life is pretty much the same and she is still living at the Shelburne Commons retirement facility in Nantucket. She still plays Bridge four days a week. Her two grandsons, with their children, will be visiting for a week including July 4th. They will have their usual cookout!

MaryEllen Starkey is still hanging on, as she says. Her daughter from Florida was visiting her when I talked with her, but she has someone who helps her regularly.

Isabel Hilldrup Klein has been living with her daughter, but I haven’t heard from her lately.
