Class Notes

Please note my new email address above. Ted and I sold our North Carolina home and moved to a 55+ community in Canton, Ga., in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, north of Atlanta. We’re renting in the community while our home is built and hope to move in before the end of the year.

After 12 years, Tina Kormanski Krause retired in June as the lower school librarian at The Potomac School in McLean, Va. She called it “the best job in the world,” but she’s excited to begin the next chapter in her life. Youngest daughter Megan married John in spring. Older daughter Lindsay, husband Wade, and their children live in Richmond.

We offer condolences to Ellen Grace Jaronczyk, who lost her mother in February. Catherine Alexander Alspaugh ’73, a teacher, wrote that her sister, Beverly Alexander Lawson, was named an endowed distinguished teacher, which is a $1.5 million gift for budget relief and to recruit or recognize exemplary teachers for their life-changing work with students. The gift endows an individual’s position, and the head of the school appoints the distinguished teacher to a renewable one-year term. Bev has a Ph.D. in chemistry, teaches at Hockaday School in Dallas, and was previously named one of Texas’ top teachers.
