In May 2011, Sandra Sayre retired from teaching English at the College of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, North Carolina; took classes at Tidewater Community College (TCC) to renew her teaching certificate in Virginia; and was hired as an adjunct by TCC to teach freshman and sophomore English. In fall 2012, Sandy took a post-graduate course at Old Dominion University to complete the endorsement for developmental reading. Daughter Marcia Marker passed away in September 2013 from ovarian cancer. Our condolences go to Sandy. She has custody of her three grandchildren and is still an adjunct at TCC’s Chesapeake campus. Sandy’s sister is Jean Sayre Turlington ’74.

They visit Sherrill Hoofnagle Alexander and husband Michael. Sherrill and Martha, into genealogy, attended a national conference last spring. Martha and Mike also visited Edie Morrison Herron and husband Jim. Last fall the Santoros saw the D-Day landing beaches at Normandy. Ted and I have visited them, too. My dad was a radioman on a B-24 that bombed St. Lo.

My Soleil singing group presented a patriotic music program at assisted living facilities in June for Flag Day. It’s heartwarming to recognize members of the older generation who’ve served our nation. I’d love to hear from more of you. Please send news.
