Diane Davis Nelson and Jim spent a week in Lake George, NY; while there they drove through the Skidmore campus and spent a day at the races. They also spent six days at Myrtle Beach with a large group from their community (Savannah Lakes Village in South Carolina), playing golf and seeing shows. This year they will join three of her children and their families in Houston for Christmas.

BA Kalteux Callanan spent a week at beautiful Brant Lake in the Adirondacks. For the younger of her five grandchildren, it was their first experience boating, swimming, and fishing. They were
all delighted; the camp was like living in a popcorn machine, but thoroughly enjoyable. She and John hit the Saratoga racetrack in late August and had a fine time taking in the surroundings
and ambiance that only Saratoga can provide. “Broadway, with its numerous fine shops and restaurants, hanging flower baskets and attractive outdoor seating, is much more glamorous
than when we were students, but we enjoyed it then also.”

Tracy Guthrie says the Texas ranch is doing well with a new foreman and his family. They need rain really badly; it was hot there this summer.

The class’s hearts and sympathy go out to Ellie Boughner Axford, who lost her son Eric in September.

I wrote in the last issue about Sue Warren Campbell’s husband dying in May after a long battle with lymphoma. Sue writes that the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society sponsored a run in Schroon Lake, NY, in September in which son Bill and three cousins ran in memory of Doug and the Campbells’ niece Kathy, who passed away a year ago of the same disease. Sue was very proud of them. She is OK and did some traveling this past summer, visiting a sister-in-law in Las Vegas and a friend in the Chicago area. In September she met another friend in San Antonio for an Elderhostel.

In September Chuck and I went canoeing on New York’s Eaton Brook Reservoir, and now I understand why Nancy Morrison and Tillie Ruby Coulter rave about it; it is truly beautiful.
