Class Notes

Peg Hubbard said the 40th was the best reunion yet. Our class enjoyed a great turnout, three days of fabulous activities, and perfect weather. Thanks to Sid Baker Etherington for spearheading our decorating efforts; our tent looked awesome! Many from the Jefferson 4th West gang chose to stay in Mason. Peg encourages everyone to consider staying in the dorms for our 45th. The beds were comfortable, and the group took over the lobby and had a full kitchen. Let’s make Reunion 2019 even better!

Meg Mullen Hughes missed the reunion as they were in Glen Allen, Virginia, taking care of a grandson. Daughter Erin married Dan Moyet in July 2010. They have children Kayla, 2, and Tyler, 1. Son Joe married Loreen Hagerty last June. Along with her son, Sal, they moved to Glen Allen, just miles from Erin’s family, and welcomed Paul James “PJ” in April. Meg is a social worker at a Fredericksburg dialysis center, where she’s worked 30 years, and babysits for Erin, a part-time physical therapist for a Richmond home health agency. Meg and Paul plan to move to Glen Allen to join the rest of the family.

Director of Alumni Relations Mark Thaden ’02 and his staff did a tremendous job at the reunion making every class feel special. The new format – each class has a tent on Ball Circle for the Saturday picnic – lets classmates visit all day. The classes and lectures were well done. Suzy and I (Sid) arrived Thursday night and crammed in as much as possible. Brompton is beautiful as ever and President Hurley and wife Rose more gracious than you can imagine. Mark your calendars for our 45th in 2019. Thanks to the 40th Reunion Committee – Bobbie Burton,Sid Baker Etherington,Peg Hubbard, Patti Goodall Strawderman, Diane Harvey Smith, Jeane Baughan Stone, Suzy Passarello Quenzer,and Leslie F. Tilghman – for making it memorable.
