Gabrielle Gottlieb Miller has eight grandchildren either in college, recently graduated, pursuing grad school, or taking the SATs. The youngest graduated from sixth grade. Gabrielle is looking forward to traveling again after two years of difficult surgeries.

Joyce Nathan LeVine has moved to Ojai, CA, to join her daughter and grandson. “It has rained a lot for ‘sunny’ California, but it is beautiful and we love the beach.” Husband Walt had a pacemaker put in and is doing fine.

With exquisite timing, Sylvia Watkins Allen celebrated her 80th birthday over the Fourth of July weekend, starting with a gathering of 41 family members and continuing with a clambake for 65 family and friends the next day. As always, her birthday included a phone chat with Martha Ward Carver. Loraine Friberg Granai was among the friends at the clambake.

I had a nice chat this spring with Jane Gould Allen, who spends January to April on St. Simon’s Island, GA.

Jean Ann Stirling Horton’s sister Mary Stirling Campbell ’51 and her two daughters spent a delightful eight days in Vienna.

I planned to be in Vienna before boarding a three-river cruise ship to Amsterdam. Storms in Chicago rerouted me to Munich; I arrived in Vienna just in time to sail. Spending an hour in the courtroom used for the Military Tribunal in Nuremburg in 1946 was one of many historic highlights of the trip.
