Class Notes

Hello, fellow classmates. I hope everyone came through the winter with flying colors.

Cheryl Prietz Childress and I listened to the Moody Blues in college and finally got the chance to see them in concert at Richmond’s Altria Theater, formerly the Mosque. Cheryl and Dave stay busy on their farm, and with horse-related events and colonial re-enactments, posting pictures on Facebook in full costume. Cheryl makes buttons for colonial re-enactors and was a movie extra for the TURN series being filmed in Richmond for AMC. Dennis and I hoped to connect with them again during the April Fort Frederick event.

Deb Stanley Leap has helped folks in arid lands find potable water for years. Her mission multiplied tenfold since she visited Jordan and Israel last year, picking up insight into the tensions and issues of the Middle East. Daughter Amy Leap ’12 works at the Explore More Discovery Museum in Harrisonburg, Va., and mother Ruth Smith Stanley ’45 is 90.

My nose is constantly to the grindstone on the job, but I still sing and am planning new programs to take to different venues. I have many upcoming “Hon” activities.

Here’s hoping more of you will touch base. It’s always a pleasure to hear from each of you.
