Class Notes

Maria Martinod Hagman called the magazine with a life update.
She and her husband married early in her Mary Washington years but her house mother found a place for them to rent on Charles Street, with some connection to Hugh Mercer, and she was able to stay in school and graduate. Her Marine husband was among the first troops sent to Vietnam, and he also served in Laos and Borneo. After her husband returned he was a reserve officer till 1969 and then went into banking. They lived all over the country.
Now they live in California on property just below the Reagan Library. They came through the recent fire with their home intact and without injury. They also were able to rescue their horses and those that belong to a neighbor. Maria evacuated the area, but her husband and a grandson stayed and joined the firefighting crews. The fire came into their yard but didn’t burn their house.
