Hi everyone. Thanks to all of you who wrote in response to my postcard.
Gretchen Anderson Coger wrote that she and husband Bill are still in their house in Richmond after 42 years, and they plan to stay there. Gretchen and Bill do a lot of traveling, especially to Europe. They also have taken a number of cruises, which they love as they are so relaxing. They have three children – Karen, Bill and Chris – each of whom has two children. Gretchen and Bill have granddaughters at Washington and Lee and Sweet Briar. Another granddaughter will attend University of Vermont next year, while three grandchildren are still in high school. Gretchen is in good shape although she has had two knee replacements, cancer of the mouth, and a heart attack. Bill, who retired 10 years ago from his law practice, has been a good nurse. Gretchen spends a lot of time at Children’s Hospital, and Bill spends time on the computer. They have a new puppy, which keeps them busy.
Barbara Dod Whittle sent wishes from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley for happiness and good health.
Cynthia Medley England wrote that she is living in a lovely retirement community in Naples, Fla. As a free-lance writer, she has contributed to many Florida publications, including The Miami Herald. She has also had articles published in The New York Times and Defenders of Wildlife magazine.
Condolences go to the family of Ann Lawson Hanson. I received a note from her daughter, Nancy Scheunemann, informing me of her mom’s death in September.
Don’t forget: Our 55th class reunion will take place June 2-4, 2006. Sarah Herring Estes and I, along with Lorraine Frantz Foulds, are looking forward to seeing a large crowd. You can’t let us down.
