Class Notes

There’s no news to report from my classmates this time. I, Ann Chilton Power, was scheduled to have my second shot against COVID on Jan. 24. I hoped to visit my youngest son, Stephen, and his family in Dallas soon thereafter. They moved there from Alexandria last July. 

The late Phyllis Block Brotman was named to the 2021 Baltimore Jewish Hall of Fame. Phyllis blazed a trail for women in business and became one of the most respected and influential women in Baltimore business and civic affairs. Her public relations and marketing firm, Image Dynamics, represented local, regional, and national clients. She helped establish the Maryland Public Broadcasting station and ran 176 political campaigns. 

[Editors’ note: Ann Chilton Power also sent notes for the online-only fall/winter 2020 issue. We republish them here.] 

I write from The Virginian, a continuing-care retirement community in Fairfax County, Virginia, where Marge Uhler Adcock and I reside. My youngest son, Stephen, and family have moved to Dallas. My eldest son, Ted, is retired and lives in Des Moines, which leaves son Tom waiting on me during this period of social distancing. 

I phoned Betty Davies Morie to check on our classmates at Westminster Canterbury in Richmond. Angela Walton Barksdale, Turner Christian Richardson, and Connie Hook Felvey also have apartments there, although Connie has retreated to her home in Kilmarnock during this pandemic. When I have tried to contact others, the numbers or email addresses were no longer in service. I hope you will contact me so we can keep this column going another 64 years!
