Class Notes

A year of new beginnings – I called Mickey Foley McDaniel and found her sorting and packing possessions as she and Tim plan a move to an independent living retirement village. She is still playing tennis in a senior league. I am one step ahead of her, joining the ever-growing list of classmates who have moved to retirement communities. I moved to The Virginian in Fairfax, Va. last August. I love the life I am living – new friends, many activities and great food that I do not have to shop for or cook! Classmate Marge Uhler Adcock was one of the first residents that I ran into. She is very active with grandchildren and she goes bowling every week. Other MWC alumnae here are Martha Blake Cooper and Margaret Hines Sickles ’49. Meg White Fary and Frank have moved to Bermuda Run, N.C. from their mountaintop home of many years in Blowing Rock, N.C. Frieda Headley Byrd was kind enough to write me that she made her annual trip to Hilton Head for her family reunion which now includes five children and their spouses, five grandchildren and two spouses and three great grandchildren. Ever faithful Hermie Gross Fox wrote that she spent a week at Glacier National Park last year with her daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren. The group was planning to spend five days over the Christmas holidays in NYC. Hermie walks daily and takes cardio and yoga classes at the YMCA.
