Grayce Smethurst Elgar had a visit from Shirley Simmons Boll in March. They joined Honey Bernstein Casden for dinner in Sarasota, FL, and enjoyed a fun evening.

Tibby VanNess Reid is encouraging anyone to come to Saratoga this August 3–5 for a reunion planning weekend (for our 60th in 2008). She is busy with lots of music.

Exciting news arrived from Shorty Crouze Chase, who held a one-woman show in October called Barns and Gardens. She is now busy creating abstracts, teaching, and golfing.

Ginny Tabor Daniels, who celebrated her 81st birthday in April, is the chauffeur for all her widow lady friends.

From Niskayuna, NY, K. T. Hoopes Schmidt sends love to all and is happy to have lived all these wonderful years.

Annual fund chair Joan Theobald Mitchell spent a month in Hilton Head, SC. While there, she met up with Marty Bloomberg Berry.

Jean Elton Moran’s “number-one” granddaughter is off to NYU this fall, while the second plans to enroll at Skidmore.

Kit Carson Anderson has had a hard time this year, undergoing several operations and extensive therapy to repair previous knee replacements and a ruptured tendon. She had to spend 14 weeks at home, but it did afford her plenty of time to read.

Leggie D’Wolf is still “moving and grooving.” She spent an evening with Katey Geyer Winant. Katey has spoken to Dee Dion Hardie and husband Tom, who are in an assisted-living residence in Baltimore. It is a new lifestyle for them, but they are very content. Betty Jean Golson Moler is living in Oklahoma.

Muriel Keema Flood hosted a mini- reunion in 2006 with M. J. Baker Macartney, Donna Hornsby Montgomery, Elouise Kenworthy Spelbrink, Bernice Warr Williams, Pal Malmar Almond, Bobbie Pfeil Bergen, Marie Ryder Riley, and Margaret Hotaling Miller in Cutchogue on Long Island.

Nedda Samuels Stuart took a trip to Hawaii with most of her kids. She is teaching a watercolor class for seniors; after three years of instruction, they are “doing great,” she says.

Suzanne Stone Finney visited family in South Carolina, including two daughters and five grandchildren. She spent three months in Tampa, FL, awaiting a kidney for her husband, who is doing remarkably well. Suzanne swims, does yoga daily, and stays busy with lots of volunteer work. Being 80 becomes her, and she is enjoying it, she says.

Phyllis Magill Levy had an exciting four-week trip to Italy with the family of her deceased sweetheart, followed by a two-week Elderhostel in Siena with a dear gal-pal.

Sally Krueger is “stuck” in a senior residence and can’t make it to Chicago suburban parties and meetings. She’d love to hear from anybody living around Northbrook.

Sorry to say my husband, Steve, was hospitalized for six weeks. He is now in rehab and doing well, but it has been a very stressful time.
