Class Notes

During the past few years, Bridget Binko graduated from nursing school, passed the R.N. exam, and struggled to find a job. She decided to spend three months in the South Pacific on the Navy ship USS Cleveland as a civilian volunteer R.N. with a Project HOPE humanitarian civic mission, working in existing hospitals and setting up tent clinics. Bridget shared a small room onboard with as many as 11 women; she told them she hadn’t had so much fun with the girls since Mary Washington. Back home, Bridget has her dream job as an infusion nurse at an oncology clinic. She enjoys sailing, orchids, and wild mushrooming.

Bettiann Aylor, senior teacher at Hanover High School, has steered several students toward UMW, and they seem to love it. She and several co-workers went to Spain and Portugal last summer, and visited the Rock of Gibraltar on a day clear enough to see all the way to Africa. They plan a trip to England and France in 2013.

We’re two years away from our 40th reunion, so start making plans to attend.
