After having lived away from Fredericksburg for 41 years, Charlotte M. Walker retired in 1999 and moved back to help care for her mother. Charlotte lived at Marye’s Heights apartments, which were purchased a few years ago by the University for use as student apartments. She has now relocated and is working part time at the reception desk at The Free Lance-Star. She plays the piano for Sunday school and community programs, and she loves to travel and attend musical programs and concerts.
I received a brief note from Betty Morin Goble, who lives in Snellville, Ga., forwarding mail to me from UMW, which was inadvertently included in with hers.
Kay Martin Britto went to Spain and Portugal with her husband and two daughters in June and July. During their 12-day trip, they went on a pilgrimage from Oporto, Portugal, to Santiago, Spain. She said it was an interesting experience traveling in an area where she could not speak the language.
Elinor Runge Vitek and her husband spend the winter months on their boat in Florida and in the Bahamas. Elinor’s 96-year-old mother, along with Martha Hearn Johnson and husband Rick, connected with them in Sarasota and had a marvelous time. The Viteks spend their summers on the Patuxent River and on Broomes Island in Maryland. Their son, Brant, is an orthopedist in northern Virginia; their daughter, Vicki, is in Colorado.
Betty Gould Storms and her husband, Bob, enjoyed a six-day trip to London in September. Their son, Robert; his wife, Rose; and their daughter, Bailey, were there at the same time. Robert, who is in research at Duke University Hospital, presented a scientific paper at the Imperial College.
Kay Ruth McMillian continues to live in New Mexico. Her husband died more than two years ago and she has been closing their businesses. Her four children are scattered all over and she has seven grandchildren, two of whom are in college. Kay visited with Jean Anderson Chapman last year, and they had a great time.
Reminder: we will celebrate our 50th reunion in 2008. Please mark your calendars now for early June of that year.
