Ronnie Brody Raab and Ed enjoyed an annual reunion with their children and spouses, three granddaughters, and Madison, the golden retriever, at Deer Isle, ME. They hiked, swam, ate,
and “hung out.”

Diane Davis Nelson spent time with Joan Kennison Shaw and Gary, along with Nancy Barrett Eadie and Peter. It had been 51 years since the Skidmore grads had seen one another! Their experiences matched ours at Reunion—picking up easily where we had left off so many years ago. Diane and husband Jim had “the time of their lives” cruising to Australia and New Zealand in February.

Nancy Morrison spent two days at the Eatonbrook Reservoir with daughter Diane and two dogs. They were joined by Tillie Ruby Coulter.

Patti Price Keiser Zeiler stays in touch with the Florida gang: Jackie Welsh Barr, Pat Knight Spencer, Bobbi Gordon Spiegel, Tillie Ruby Coulter, and Barbara Wells Turner. Patti and
husband Martin, who is 86, are both doing well.

Jacquie Wilson Nelson is busy in Rancho Bernardo… so much so that a Tuesday was declared “Jacquie Nelson Day” in San Diego by the City Council. The event was announced in the Union-Tribune.

Nancy Passaro Whittaker continues to work as an on-call nursing supervisor. She is enjoying several grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attending the theater in San Francisco.
Her son’s eldest daughter, Aimee, graduated from college in May.

Adele Albrecht Wakefield-Gren and husband Art recently traveled to California to attend the wedding of her niece, whose mother is Adele’s sister Polly Albrecht Mazur ’61. While in San Francisco, Adele and her husband stayed with Monique Villedrouin Salgado. They spent several sunny days in the city and driving along the coast to Santa Cruz.

Jackie Loohn Stempfle is still feeling the after-glow of our 50th reunion. She and Janet Schmitt Soukup again thank everyone who volunteered their time and energy. Jackie and husband Bill
have “adopted” North Carolina after 35 years in Connecticut. They welcome visitors to their home in Fearrington Village, south of Chapel Hill.

The class extends its condolences to the family of Ricky Haas, who died in May. She was such a
ray of sunshine at Reunion with her wonderful hats. We shall surely miss her.

We also send condolences to Sue Warren Campbell, whose husband, Doug, died in May.
