A group of classmates met last April for an extended lunch at the Jefferson
Hotel in Richmond. The group included Mim Riggs Gay, Elizabeth Sullivan Vaughan,
Sallie Scott, Lois Davis Minetree, Betty Lou Loftis Bailey, Janice Worsley
Mayberry, Vivian Wilkerson, Mickey Dixon Sullivan, “Libba” Harrison
Leitch and Dot Miller. Not ones to give up a good party, Betty Lou, Libba
and Sallie (who keep in touch almost daily) spent the night at the Jefferson
and continued the party with Lois and Dot.
Mim writes that all were looking good and feeling great – a few canes
and a few joint replacements, but very alert and astute. We did remember how
much Elaine “Sally” Heritage Jordan and Liz Sharpe did for our
50th reunion, and noted that our 60th is coming up.
Carolyn Rohr Huebner and husband John journeyed to Waddington, England, last
December to attend the wedding of their son. Afterward, Carolyn and John enjoyed
a two-week vacation in Pompano Beach, Fla. Carolyn was also invited by Lillie
Turman’s ’36 sister to attend a memorial service for Miss Turman
in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Miss Turman died last December. Carolyn also recently visited
with Elaine “Sally” Heritage Jordan, her former roommate.
Elizabeth Stallings Sharpe reported that her daughter Marcia had come several
times to visit her in Oklahoma. Marcia’s son, Rob, completed his undergraduate
degree at Southern Nazarene University and is now working on an MBA.
Frances Holsclaw Brown passed away in August 2003. We send our deepest sympathy
to her family.
Sue Vick Warren writes that she and George have had some problems but feel
fortunate they are able to stay in their home and keep on their feet. Hurricane
Isabel did major damage to their home; however, all has been repaired. George
III is still in the Washington, D.C., area. Francis is now working in Alabama.
Helen Rasmussen Wallace writes that despite some medical problems, she and
husband Jack are fine. Time flies! Has it really been 62 years since we first
roomed together?
