Judy Reed Smith’s son Fedor, who works in her telecommunications industry research company in Boston, was married last spring. Judy and hus­band Normand have weekend time to visit with friends and family in the Keene Valley Mountains or Point O’Woods Beach in New York. Frequent visitors are daughter Tiverton and her husband and two adorable boys.

Cynthia David and her family have been in Seattle for a year. Husband Eli works at the Fred Hutchinson Center and University of Washington. Daughters Emily and Anne have settled into their school routines. Cynthia says the move has been a big change for her after being a full-time radiologist for 25 years. They have finally finished renovating an old house with marvelous views of Lake Washington and are having fun exploring the Northwest. Cynthia (cdavidestey@yahoo.com) has been attending Seattle cultural events with Jane Resnick Drucker ’64 and Carol Lowe ’66 and welcomes any other alums to get in touch with her.

Margie Seelbach Wheeler spent two weeks staying with freshman roommate Mary Pollack. Margie was helping daughter Elizabeth move into a new apartment in NYC and waiting for another daughter to give birth. Grandson Shai was born to Meggan and Joseph; they chose “Shai,” the Aramaic word for gift, because “he is the greatest gift we will ever receive.”

She chaired the national search committee that selected music director Guillermo Figueroa and established the Henn Conductor’s Endowment in memory of her parents. Foxie’s firm, F.

In September the Skidmore Club of NYC sponsored an evening walk in the new Highline Park, a renovated mile-and-a-half elevated railbed on the far west side of Manhattan. I participated, along with Barbara Levi ’69 and June Massell ’68. The views were spectacular, and the company was great! After the walk, we joined other NYC alums at a bar on a barge in the Hudson.
