June Anne Tingler Buie wrote from California, where she and her husband have lived for nearly 40 years. She and Audrey Smith, Betty Anne Andrews and Rita Schaeffers, who is now deceased, all transferred our junior year to UNC. Betty Anne is married and lives in Georgia.
Elizabeth “Boo” Roundtree Duke is in regular contact with Betty Winstead Stiff, and sees Dean Murphy Gilmore often, as they live just five minutes apart in Portsmouth, Va. Boo says they all are coming to Reunion Weekend in June. Boo works part time as a bookkeeper for a bakery, plays bridge, bowls, tutors and regularly baby-sits her grandchildren. Suzie Heap is enjoying her work with the Master Gardener program in California. She has three daughters and three grandchildren. She enjoys life with her partner, a retired architect, with whom she travels. They went on a river cruise in Russia last summer and spent two weeks in Santa Fe in the fall. They are planning a trip to Istanbul in March. Susie hopes to catch up with Hermie Gross Fox and the other California alums to make plans to attend our 50th reunion. Page Richardson Coulthard plans to visit her daughter in Orange and be on hand for the reunion, too. Dixie Moore Kirby and her husband went to Sweden last May to visit one of her daughters. In October they had a four-day visit with his granddaughters in New York City. I know she will combine a reunion weekend trip with a visit to one of her other daughters.
I see Mary Chilton Newell ’54 in Mathews frequently, and the two of us had lunch last summer in Williamsburg with Betty Harpine Chilton. Betty retired from Fairfax Schools and now enjoys working at a Borders bookstore. While in Williamsburg I also visited Carter Still Sonders ’83, who has a husband and two young sons and works in the development office for Jamestown.
I’m late to the grandparent club, but made up for lost time with the birth last summer of two grandsons. Please write or e-mail; your news is what keeps this column going. See you June 2-4.
