Class Notes

During Reunion Weekend 2012, we went to classes, saw the renovated Monroe Hall, had a sumptuous Friday night dinner hosted by UMW President Richard V. Hurley at Brompton, and joined other alumni Saturday evening for wine, dinner, and dancing at the Tennis Center. We talked to UMW undergrads, who were eager to hear about our Fredericksburg days, Mrs. Bushnell, dining hall protocol, and dress codes.

Gwen Amory Cumming and Rita Morgan Stone did much of the planning. My husband and I met up with Carol Edgerton Cooper, Pat Leech Benton, and Weege Attianese Harlow. Maryanne Heatwole Cox, Betty Jefferson Blaisdell, Betty Jo Braithwaite Gayle, Susan Jurgens, Nancy Straughan Russler, and Bettie Willard Wiltshire didn’t have far to travel. We sat on Ball Circle Saturday with Ann Staylor Johnson, Joyce Long Moore, and Phyllis Webb Pegram. It was sad for me without my twin sister, but many friends spoke of memories of her.

Thank you, Mary Washington, for bringing us all together.
