Class Notes

Kathleen Dwyer Miller shares that her youngest daughter finished her freshman year at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), landing on the Chancellor’s list first semester and Dean’s list second semester. Her oldest daughter is a flight attendant for Trans-States Airlines, which flies for United and American Airlines.

Melissa Felts has called Fredericksburg home since 1991. She was a store manager for Hancock Fabrics for nearly 20 years and volunteered at the local SPCA. Melissa used her 14 years of passion for animal rescue and in 2014 opened Re-Tail, a non-profit thrift store in Fredericksburg that benefits Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary, as well as others animal rescue organizations in the community. Rikki’s sanctuary cares for over 1200 animals of 22 species! Currently, Melissa cares for four dogs and four cats of her own.

Lisa Bentley Brouelette lives in Bothell, Washington, and is awaiting the arrival of a grandson in late August with older son Adam and his wife, Sara.

Jennifer W. Johnston Davidson relocated from Cape Town, South Africa, to Bermuda back in May 2015. She muses that it’s funny to have traveled around Africa for 20 years to now live across the street from where she started! Jennifer is near family, takes a ferry to work, and has great views of Hamilton Harbor to watch the America’s Cup boats practicing in the mornings.

As for us, after living in the Madison, Wisconsin, area for 10 years, Scott and I relocated to Annapolis, Maryland, this spring. Scott completed his Ph.D. in History and will be teaching at the U.S. Naval Academy, his alma mater. I am enjoying reconnecting with friends and family and hope to get a job using my six years of ESL experience in K-12 schools once school starts in the fall. Our daughter continues teaching elementary students in Wisconsin and our son is well-settled working for the Boy Scouts in Seattle.
