Class Notes

Class of 1974, It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Pat Denton Rounds earlier this year.  Those of us who lived on 3^rd Floor of Willard freshman year remember Pat well and join all in our class as we mourn her passing.   Pam Smith McGahagin sent news from Atlanta, Ga, where she and her family have lived for the past 3 decades.  Pam is still working in broadcasting, but plans to retire next year.  She writes that she “can’t wait” to retire, but will miss her annual visits with her Willard roomie, Pat Denton Rounds  who passed away last January.   “A great cook, Pat kept us well fed during our “old girl” get-togethers with Diane Smith Mosier.  Pat was one of a kind, and will be forever missed.”   In June, Pam spent a relaxing weekend with Nonie Gassman Robinson at her home in lovely St. Petersburg, Florida, where they checked out the Salvadore Dali museum.   She’s hoping everyone shows up for our 45^th reunion next June!  Yes, our 45^th is coming in 2019, reserve the weekend of 31 May-2 June 2019 NOW. Reunion planning is in the works so let us know what  you would like to do as a class and start rummaging through your attics and basements for your MWC memorabilia.

Jill from Atlanta wrote, “I have recently passed my 5th anniversary working as a sales associate at Macy’s.  Things here in Atlanta are going pretty well for me.  Am often playing board games with several local groups, a hobby I’ve enjoyed for over a decade.  Some of my current favorite games include Snowdonia, Honshu, Medina and Glux. A special shout-out to all fellow Betty Lewis dorm alums….our numbers are dwindling but it was a special place ‘down the hill and outta sight’…”
