Class Notes

I thought I’d get more responses from you all. I miss you.

Edgar is having some health problems, but I’m doing OK, still running my mouth at Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop three days a week. I was looking at a yearbook…boy, so many memories. I got a big laugh at a picture of the fencing club that Louise Lawson started with our help.

Ruth DeMiller Hill and I communicate often. She’d been under the weather for a few months but was better. Sarah Herring Estes fell during a snowstorm and was in the hospital, rehab center, and nursing home before she returned home.

Jacquelyn Hobbs McDavid has traveled to all continents. Shirley Williams Rees called about her name being listed on the “Memorial Gifts” page of the fall/winter issue of UMW Magazine. I checked with the Office of Alumni Relations; it was a different Shirley Williams. Our Shirley is fine and keeping busy.

Kathryn Hope Allcorn Kasfeldt has two children, five grandchildren, and a new great-grandchild. She also has a new address at a senior complex, where she lives with her cat. She keeps in touch with Janet Scott Allen, Ruth Southard Hoffman, and Norma Resnikoff Sater. Norma didn’t send a Christmas card this year, and Kathryn hopes she’s OK.

Cynthia Medley England has had two children’s plays published, one in Australia and one in England. She receives royalties for both and for a lyric she wrote that was recorded by Nina Simone in the ’60s. Cynthia enjoys her stress-free life in a Naples, Fla., retirement community.

Nancy Tate Tossey spends most of the year in Ohio and part of the winter in Florida. Her husband passed away several years ago, but her three children and their families remain close and she sees them often. Nancy still hears occasionally from Ginny Pierce Carmichael.

Well, classmates, take care of yourselves, enjoy life, and send news!
