Helen Palk Booth I am saddened to report the death of Ruth Engler Wallander. Her departure reduces our class size to six: Emma Tomlinson Bennett, Dorothy Jamieson Chamberlin, Doris Dickinson Kilbourn, Charlotte Peck, Elinor Wilcox, and me. I remember Dot and Doris from past reunions—and Tommie too, who has written faithfully through the years from Freeport, ME, about her love of the sea and the joys of raising a large family in her 200-year-old home there. Here at my retirement home, my conscience tells me that life is too comfortable for a suffering world. But unsteadiness and bone fractures are reconciling me to using a cane and relinquishing travel. Happily, my bilingual great-granddaughters, ages 3 and 5, will be visiting soon, and I receive regular phone calls from daughter Betty and her Scottish husband, who live in Edinburgh.
