Class Notes

Page Richardson Coulthard and husband Bob traveled to Hawaii in January 2012. Retired since 2001, Barbara Strangmann Hiscock enjoys book and bridge clubs, season tickets to the theater, and taking courses. She has two granddaughters.

Dorcas “D.A.” Hickox Channell of Daytona Beach, Fla., left Mary Washington after three years to marry Ensign Ralph Norman Channell, USNA Class of ’55. She’s lived all over the world. The most interesting place was Moscow; the most loved was Hawaii. After her husband retired, Dorcas had the In Good Taste catering company for 16 years in the San Francisco East Bay area. She has sons Ralph and Hal, and grandchildren Christopher and Jenny. Dorcas keeps in touch with Helen Wilkins Obenshain, Anne McCann Collier, and Marian Minor ’55.

Last year Frieda Byrd attended her U.Va. reunion and spent time with children and grandchildren at home in Georgia and during their annual beach week in Hilton Head, S.C., attended by all five children, their spouses, 11 grandchildren, and a great-granddaughter. Frieda hoped to visit her oldest brother and his family in Texas with one of her daughters in December.

Betty Marshall Whitlock and her husband visited the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast in spring and fall. They cruised along the Maine coast in August and attended a November duplicate bridge tournament in Virginia Beach. Betty still plays tennis. Their children and grandchildren are in the Northern Virginia area. One teaches at Centreville High School, one is getting a master’s degree at Radford, one is a sophomore at James Madison University, one is at UMW, and the youngest is a high school junior.

I do local history and volunteer projects, vacationed in Maine in August, and planned to be in Iowa for Christmas.
