Pat Grummon Clegg enjoyed seeing so many old friends during Reunion. She was looking forward to a relaxing winter with her husband on Amelia Island, FL; they welcome visitors.

Dick Tallman keeps busy as a trustee on the board of a senior housing project with 112 units. He does volunteer work at his church as well. He and wife Jeanie spent a great week on the Maine coast.

Barbara Tyson Hartman still meets for lunch in Saratoga with Camille Cutie Wick, Pat O’Meara Jevons, and Mary Kahle Monthie. In September they enjoyed a luncheon cruise on Lake George. Barbara gives credit to many in our class who worked on the 55th reunion, including Pat Clegg,
Pat Jevons, Izzie Bohman, and Lois Fugarini Yanagi, who organized the music sing-along. She adds that the Memorial Garden behind the Surrey is beautiful.

Carl DeSantis and wife Barbara Ettinger DeSantis ’75 spent two weeks in Europe following the Mozart trail, which celebrates the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth. They started in Prague and went on to Salzburg and finally Vienna. They visited Mozart’s birthplace and houses, museums, and his cemetery marked by a monument.

Anne Schaaf Wadhams’s great-grandson is a year old. Anne and Charlie had a good eight-day vacation on Maui. Charlie turned 80, with lots of “fanfare.” Anne says they are creaky but healthy.

In August Elizabeth Prescott Humphries and her husband celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The couple winters in Jekyll Island, GA, and Elizabeth continues her pastime of painting. She writes that Mary Fong Wou is the proud grandma of Leo Wou, named for Mary’s husband.

Janet Ainsworth MacDonald says her days are busy, but she is markedly slower and things are more of an effort. She was dumbfounded to find her husband’s class of 1942 at Williams almost at the top of the class-notes section of their alumni magazine. She enjoyed seeing Skidmore and her classmates at Reunion.

Winnie Todd Dolliver lives in Nashua, NH, where she is taking courses at a local college.

Weddings and bar mitzvahs keep Ann Hammel Kahl busy addressing invitations in calligraphy. Her nonbusiness life is athletic: she runs 20 to 30 races each year, often winning in her age division. Anne also coaches women in running, swimming, and weight lifting. “Life is great!”
she says.

Marylyn Taylor Mooney and husband Ed live on Pine Island, FL. This past summer they flew
to Rochester, NY, to visit their son and his family; their daughter and her family flew in from California to join them. They all had a wonderful vacation in Vermont, where their other daughter lives. Another son, who is a blues musician, lives near Lyn and Ed in Florida. One of the Mooneys’ grandsons was married in Hawaii. Lyn enjoyed reading The Hudson, authored by Skidmore professor Tom Lewis. Lyn and Ed were looking forward to Joan Kreuser Noone and husband
Roger returning to their home in Venice, FL; they have fun getting together with them.
