Class Notes

Louise Davis Hume was sorry to hear that Rosie Bell Morris has passed on, as they enjoyed her company at our 50th reunion in 2001. She says that at our age, it is not unexpected.

Louise and her husband, Lindy, are hanging in there. A retired Industrial Arts teacher, he is 90 and has age-related problems, but can do his usual chores, some yard work, taking out the garbage, and fixing breakfast. She tells him to pray that she outlives him, as he would never make it without her. She is in fairly good shape and can still drive, even at night, and manage the housework, although hampered by COPD (she says she didn’t stop smoking soon enough). They still live in the house they built themselves with hand tools in 1958.

Their daughter, Jeff, is still working as an editor in Falls Church, Virginia. She is also a certified genealogist. Their son, Ed, is Creative Services Manager at Edison in Los Angeles, California. He also is a woodworker, has made a lot of his furniture, and he also builds and repairs. He has a son in design in Miami and a daughter working at the Library of Congress.

Louise keeps busy with her hobbies. Using research skills learned as a History major at MWC, she has written several family history books (only desktop published for family members). She still does some sewing and uses her handcraft skills to make bobbin lace. Teaching bobbin lacemaking and being President of the local Lace Guild keeps her busy.

Louise says, “I am looking forward to our 65th reunion this spring. Hope to see y’all there.”
