Class Notes

I’m writing this from sketchy notes while out of town, so please excuse omissions. A UMW alumni office reminder prompted these replies. I’m depending on you for coming issues. You could add me to your Christmas/Hanukah card list.

I planned to visit my late husband’s family in Maine and Massachusetts in August with my sons and grandchildren. Mickey Foley McDaniel and Tim of Atlanta have one son and his family, and four of their six grandchildren, in the area. Mickey does ESL work in the Hispanic community and planned a June humanitarian trip to Honduras.

Angela Walton Barksdale, Beth Poteet Pollard, Connie Hook Felvey, Ann “Stokey” Scott, and Turner Christian Richardson attended their 60th Thomas Jefferson High School reunion in Richmond last April. Turner and Connie visited homes and gardens in Fredericksburg and Lancaster County during Virginia’s Historic Garden Week. “Red” Rosanelli Metzger lives in New Hampshire from spring to fall and visits Italy yearly. June Ann Tingler Buie took a June British Isle cruise. She spent two April days with Barbara Strangmann Hiscock, after sightseeing in Washington and Virginia.

Ginny “Mabel” Fisher Ward, whose grandson is a plebe at the Naval Academy, recalled her many trips there while at Mary Washington. She and her husband of 55 years of Providence Forge, Va., planned to visit their soccer goalkeeper in Annapolis. Otelia “Tillie” Westbrook Harris and her husband of 53 years, Allen, retired 22 years ago; they golf, travel, and participate in church and civic activities. Joan Tengzelius Wunderlich and fiancé Stu took a June Rhine River cruise. Joan, who has 10 grandchildren and four greats, attended a granddaughter’s Long Island wedding.

Suzanne Borke Grasberger and Tom have four children and nine grandchildren, and hope to attend a grandchild’s high school graduation for each of the next six years. Their oldest granddaughter is a senior social work major at JMU. Another graduated from high school in June and is in a program for special needs youth at George Mason University. Grandson Matt finished a Rotary International exchange program in Brazil and was to start college in a George Mason computer technology honors program.

Hope to hear from you all soon.
