Thanks to those who sent news.

Mary Anne Kennedy Kane, husband Brian, and adult children Allison and Bobby spent four days rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in May, hiking 9 miles down Bright Angel Trail, and boarding pontoon boats for a 100-mile, three-day journey through the canyon, exploring waterfalls and sleeping under the stars.

Gayle Weinberger Petro spent the July Fourth holiday at Lisa Carle Shields’ Smith Mountain Lake home. Gayle, Donna Anaya, Nancy Quaintance Nelles, and Lisa Bratton Soltis went to Edinburgh and London in July. Gayle is vice president of class reunions on the UMW Alumni Board and spends lots of time on campus. Our 35th reunion is coming up next summer. Be sure to note it on your calendar!

My sister, Patricia Goliash Andril ’80, attended daughter Katie’s Connecticut College graduation. Katie double-majored in English and art and planned to start George Mason University’s museum management grad program. She’s grateful to Claire Kelly ’83, who works in that field and gave her an informational interview and career advice.

I hope to hear from more of you for the next issue.
