Class Notes

Anna Roberts Ware had 11 inches of rain from Hurricane Sandy, slowing the soybean harvest, but her daughter and husband were with her during the worst of it. She went to bed dressed when she heard Sandy was headed for Dover, Del., but heard it slammed into New Jersey, instead. Anna lunched with old and new friends, including a Girl Scout who rode the bus with her to the ’39 World’s Fair!

Elizabeth Cumby Murray was to celebrate Thanksgiving with 10 people at daughter Trish’s home and welcome a great-granddaughter in January. Isabel Hildrup Klein expected her first great-granddaughter. Isabel has trouble with her feet but still loves to cook and was making blueberry pie when I called.

Mary Ellen Gardiner Starkey loves living in senior housing and was expecting a visit from her first great-grandbaby, Juliet, daughter of son Donnie and his wife, who live in England.

I have two great-granddaughters and expected a great-grandson in December. I stay active with exercise class, bridge, church choir, and volunteering. I took a bus trip with my son to see the Rockettes in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
