Please send me your email addresses if you aren’t regularly receiving information from me. Our 50th reunion is next year, so we really need to communicate effectively!
I visited my daughter and her family in California in June. She returned to Atlanta with her two sons, ages 3 and 1, and me. Her husband joined us later to work with a local builder on their dream home. I hope they’ll relocate to Atlanta within the next year. Also in June, I visited my son and his family in Germany.
Bobby Barrett Crisp and husband Harry visited Bremen, Germany, with friends and went to Naples, Italy, to visit daughter Teresa Spatt, a high school teacher, and family. They traveled for all of May, seeing lots of countries.
Nancy Coates Wilson and husband Don visited Spain, Portugal, and Madeira in spring and met with their dinner group, including Nancy Buchanan Perry ’70 and Martha Jones Burke ’64. The Wilsons, married 50 years in August, were planning their annual New Year’s Eve get-together.
Margaret “Meg” Cobourn John, Lisa Corder Wharton, and Barbara Hagemann Hester planned a mini-reunion, visiting Donna Lingo Rauch and hubby Eric in Girdletree, Maryland. Eric is battling pancreatic cancer, so they brought in lunch and reminisced about Mary Washington and one of Donna and Eric’s first dates on campus.
Alice Funkhouser Flowers still works at Richmond’s St. Christopher’s School and spent spring taking pictures for graduation and preparing her next publication. Jan Yates Berls lives near her grandchildren and volunteers at their school. She and Dick spent several months at a Florida golfing community last winter and planned to go again this year. While Jan and Dick were hiking in the rainforest in Puerto Rico last year, they saw a group of young women wearing UMW lacrosse jerseys coming from the opposite direction!
Penelope Partridge Booth cruised from Prague to Paris, sailing on the Moselle, Main, and Rhine rivers. They had guided tours of Heidelberg, Luxembourg, and Wurzburg, where Penelope’s daughter lived for three years while working for Procter & Gamble.
Agnes “Missy” Bush Shives traveled to Germany in May. She and Ophelia “Ophie” Baker Crowley planned to visit Sonja “Toni” Algren Schuyler in Jericho, Vermont, in July and spend a day together in Montreal.
