Lilli Brunner Kalmenson traveled east to Nashville, TN, to greet her newest granddaughter, born in October. Her other grandchildren, ages 13 and 9, live closer to her home in Los Angeles.

Marcie Clausen Gray is still raving about her spring trip to China, where she started each day with tai chi and learned to play mah-jongg, make dumplings, and speak a few words of Chinese. Marcie promises a warm Atlanta welcome to any snowbird flying by her home on the way south.
A visit to Skidmore by Edith Barbour Lauver and husband Bob coincided with June reunion week. She reports disappointment at being unable to find the “Nursing Pioneers in Science” installation in Dana Science Center.

In October I caught up with Joanne Schmidt Madden; we shared family tales and fond memories of our last get-together (our wonderful 50th reunion). Jo recently welcomed her 11th grandchild.

Carol Leeke Robinson married Glenn Kaijola on August 6 in New Bern, NC. The couple has moved into a new residence there, and Carol says they are “looking forward to lots of healthy, happy, golden years.”
