Phyllis Emmerich Blair held her seventh solo art show at the Aim Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach, FL, and is back in her studio in Williamstown, MA.

Jane Clark Atkins reminded me that she and I have kept up with one another for 56 years. She
had her eleventh eye surgery this spring. She had a nice Christmas in Boca Grande with a son
and his wife.

In New York, retiree Betty Dornheim volunteers at Lawrence Hospital’s Bargain Box and is active with the Bronxville Historical Conservancy and Bronxville Adult School. The school offers trips and tours for seniors and helps them continue living in their own homes.

Libby Cone Gardner exhibited monotype artwork at the White River Junction (Vt.) Art Gallery
in May.

Jane Zirinsky Haskell made a trip to southeast Asia with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Visiting Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), and Cambodia, she “fulfilled a lifelong dream” to visit the temples of Angkor Wat.

Marie-Louise Flinker Putney’s entire family gathered to celebrate Christmas for the first time in four years. She stays busy with church and other volunteer jobs.

Patsy Wander Royer spent February through June in Florida.

Dorothy Jane Keith Todd took an Elderhostel course in using a digital camera at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA, a beautiful place where “zillions” of azaleas were in bloom. She also enjoyed a cruise around the world with Holland America. She encourages anyone who’d like to share a cabin for her next cruise to contact her.

For her 85th birthday Doris Merz Wyckoff enjoyed a surprise celebration, organized by her 27-year-old granddaughter. The entire family showed up, and they “had a ball,” Doris reports.

Our sympathies go out to Nora Knox Graham, whose husband, George, died in March after a long illness.

My third daughter works in the athletics department at Houston University in Texas, and is happy as I was in that line of work.
