Class Notes

Many thanks to those few who contacted me. I know July is a busy time of year for all.

I planned to travel in late July to Yellowstone for a few days with my niece, my two daughters, and their spouses, and to visit afterwards with Carolyn Jenkins and Bob in California. My son and his family were to take care of my two cats while they continued to house hunt in Martinsburg, W.Va.

Linda LeHardy Sweet’s twin granddaughters were born in June in New York City. They were preemies but had made it to more than 6 and 7 pounds. Linda went up to New York to help for the first 10 days, and it was a joy! She said, “I should be their great-grandmother, so I just pray for strength and energy to keep up with them.”

Carolyn Osborn Jenkins, who lives in Carmel-by-the-Sea, planned a September cruise to Venice, stopping at small ports down the Adriatic, and going to Greece and Turkey, where she was to stay on for a cooking class.

I received a postcard from Helen Wilbur Vogel, who was enjoying a wonderful Alaskan cruise with a friend from her “Woodies” days. They saw a 25- story iceberg cave in Glacier Bay and lots of whales and other sea life, and they took the 12-hour bus trip into Denali National Park, where grizzly bears performed for them. Helen planned to make her annual trek to Chautauqua, Pa., in early August.

Please send some news to your new class agent, and I’m certainly going to try to be a better correspondent in the future. Thanks, everybody, and love y’all!
