Class president Adele Albrecht Wakefield-Gren and husband Art vacationed in Hawaii. They stopped in San Francisco to visit with Monique Villedrouin Salgado, and together they toured Napa Valley and Mumm’s Napa Winery. Both Adele and Monique plan to attend our 50th next year.

Rosanne Brody Raab welcomes visitors to her Deer Isle, ME, home each summer.

Kay Moore Hickey has a new grandchild, bringing the total to four, all under the age of 5.

Bunni Greenbaum Singer held a mini-reunion in Naples, FL, with Harriet Soshnick Hirsch, Beth Leibowitz Flusser, and Renee Rosenthal Landau. Harriet and husband Bob flew in from Tucson; Renee and Beth arrived from NYC; and Bunni and Gary drove from Sarasota. The four classmates have kept in contact since their Skidmore days.

All is well with Audrey Schmierer Deren and family in Cherry Hill, NJ. After Marilyn Himmelfarb Swartz’s death in March 2003, Audrey received the sad news that Marilyn’s husband died six weeks later of pancreatic cancer. On a happier note, Audrey is looking forward to our 50th reunion next year.

Monie Malcolm Smith is recovering slowly from a tragic car accident in which she and her friend were hit by a drunk driver. Her friend, who was driving, suffered fatal injuries, and Monie has spent six months in recovery and rehabilitation.

My son, who lives in Michigan, visited me for Easter, and we went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY—a very interesting town. Hope you are all planning on going to Skidmore next June for our 50th!
