Our class has been busy over these last few months.
Margaret Bryan Morgan moved into a very happy place, “Windsor Meade Retirement Place,” not far from her previous home in Kings Mill in Williamsburg, Bam after husband, Ed, died last summer after 66 wonderful years of marriage. They have 4 children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren who are spread out from Alaska, Washington State, North Carolina, and Williamsburg.
Miriam Sollows Weiland and husband Earl have moved into their wonderful “Lantern Hill” apartment after waiting 2 ½ years for it to be completed. “Mim” made a “wonder woman” recovery from left hip surgery last July and now awaits right hip surgery in 2017.
Carol Bailey Miller stays very busy with, of course, all her horse activities. She has served as Historian for the Virginia Horse Show Association for more than 5 years. She worked on the Virginia Horse Show Association associated Horse Shows Championship show in November in Lexington, VA, and in December she traveled to Hot Springs, VA to attend the annual VHSA meeting at The Homestead. She was inducted into the VA state 4H Championship horse show Hall of Fame in Sept. at which time she was awarded a trophy.
Both Mim and Carol have taken part in the monthly hand written LETTERS to UMW Seniors program concerning the 1946-1950 era and have received much joy from both sending and receiving the letters. They encourage all of us to join in the program next year!
Sad news from Billie Mitchell Hanes. Her husband, Dick, passed away in November after a more than a year long battle with many health issues. They would have celebrated 67 years of marriage on December 17th. Billie has many health issues also but she “hangs in there” through them all.
Had a lovely visit with Helen Hopkins Timberlake. She, like all of us, has endured numerous health concerns, but still weeds her garden and travels to visit family in the Atlanta/Athens Georgia area.
Anne Osborn Cox and husband, Frank are both experiencing serious health problems. Our prayers are with them!
