Barbara Sidd Behan, who vacationed on Cape Cod this summer, enjoyed a senior trip to the Berkshires last spring that included lunch at the Red Lion Inn and a tour of the Norman Rockwell Museum. family reunion took place over the 4th of July, to celebrate husband Dunda’s 80th birthday. We all felt daughter Sally’s absence, but agreed it was a great get-together. Preparing dinner for 18–20, for four nights in a row, proved to be a challenge. Next year we’ll plan a trip, for two, anywhere.” Jean McNulty McCurdy and husband Dick enjoyed a six-day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles. The couple is happily residing in Willow Valley (a retirement community), where there are “too many things to do and not enough hours!” Beverly Nicholson Adams spent the summer at her lake home. Nikki keeps busy as president of Retired Teachers and chapter queen of one of the “Red Hat” groups in Farmington, CT. In March she traveled to New Orleans and toured landmarks of the antebellum South in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Gloria Wasserman Sachs was in China to attend a biannual art fair at the Shanghai Museum. She continues doing research for a book on Chinese rubbings and calligraphy and is launching a gallery this fall. Granddaughter Alexandra, 10, came in second in a national chess championship in Chicago in June. Although advancing arthritis prevented Jean Dauer from travel beyond her own yard this summer, she created her own adventure by planting a butterfly garden with two of her grandsons and growing nasturtiums to spice up her salads. Margery Sumergrade Meyer heartily recommends Niagara Falls in Canada as well as Niagara on the Lake a few miles away. It’s “an English-like small town with great food and shopping and a Shaw festival!” Joan Houghton Wynne, who visited Greece and observed preparations for the Olympics, summered in Guilford, CT, surrounded by family members with children. Grandchild Isabella, 3, is “the apple of our eye.” Joan and Bill, married 52 years, live in Bronxville in the winter, near daughter Connie. Son Tony lives and works in Washington, DC. Gloria Biren Luria was back in the Berkshires for the summer—enjoying great music, dance, and theater. She and Leonard sometimes get back to Skidmore and particularly enjoy the Tang Museum. Gloria’s still busy in the arts and plays bridge, golf, and tennis. Jane Geibel Morton enjoyed a two-week Baltic cruise from Dover, England, to Stockholm, Sweden, this summer. Among side trips, she toured the D-Day beaches and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Coming through customs on her return, she chatted with former Skidmore president David Porter, whom she spotted in the crowd. Janet Bassett Gretzler has a new address in Florida. Virginia Miller Lyon spent two months in Michigan preparing for a weeklong family vacation at her cottage for all her “descendants”—including four children with wives and husbands, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. “It involved lots of cooking but much fun.” We extend condolences to Florence Jenney Hume, whose husband of 53 years, Walt, died last December. They met on a blind date during her sophomore year at Skidmore; he was a Williams student. The couple lived in his hometown of Louisville, KY, where Walt loved his work as a surgeon and worked hard to improve the health of his community.
