Class Notes

I got an email in October from Jean Lee Anderson Chapman, who drove with husband Rodney to Washington, N.C., to visit Lucile Geoghegan Cheshire and husband Bill. Jean and Lucy shared an apartment for a year after graduation and had lots of fun. Jean said Lucy was quite sick with lung cancer. She spoke later to Bill, who said Lucy wasn’t talking much and was hard to understand. Lucy passed away in November, and Jean and Rodney attended the funeral in Washington. Lucy and Bill were married 54 years and have children Bill Jr., Helen, and James. Jean thinks they have 10 grandchildren. Condolences to Lucy’s family and to Jean and Rodney.

Carol Lehmann, my roommate for two years, took a two-week August course on modern British government at the University of Oxford, co-sponsored for the 30th year by her Michigan State University alumni association. They visited the houses of Parliament and Winston Churchill’s home. It was Carol’s second trip to Oxford.

My suitemate Sherrill Massie Judd and her husband planned to sell their Richmond house and move to her Mount Jackson farm. Elizabeth “Betty” Gould Storms called in July to say she and husband Bob were great-grandparents after daughter Susan’s daughter, Kristen, had baby Abigail.

The Winchester Education Foundation and school officials honored Joyce Butler Allen’s family members during the Butler Hall dedication ceremony. Hilda and Robert Butler’s 10 children graduated from Handley High School, and the Butler family donated $80,000 to the school because of the value they place on education.

I visited Joyce Larrick Casey ’60 and husband Jerry at the annual Empty Bowl Supper to benefit the Laurel Center for abused women. Joyce was honored at a recent tea for 40 years of work at Handley Regional Library in Winchester, Va.
