The Cinquantenaires and Stoneagers Spring Luncheon
at the Ellen Knox Library last May brought many friends
together.
Doreen Seigman Murray
came down from
Muskoka, and a special surprise was seeing
Sally Smith
Richmond
, who was brought to the luncheon by her
daughter, Heather. For many years, Sally had not been
well enough to attend the luncheons. We were sad to
lose
Nancy Stewart
this year and quite a few classmates
went to the funeral. Friends of Nancy’s had a picture of
her, taken 10 years ago, enlarged to be shared with all
of them.
Julie Fortin Gray
and
Joan Rudolf McKinney
continue to meet up each year at the Royal Winter
Fair.
Susan Blackburn Osborne
and her family are
planning a summer visit to Western Canada to attend a
granddaughter’s wedding.

and Ken are off to Barbados and then to England in the
spring. One of their granddaughters is presently studying
in Estonia.
Anita Cran Corrigan
has moved into the
Claremont Retirement Home on Mount Pleasant Rd.,
joining several other Havergal Old Girls.
Susan (Sue) Watson Nelson
, besides looking
after her husband, continues her painting and
participates in shows. Sue now has grandchild #10.
Her eldest granddaughter is spending a year in Africa
as a veterinarian in the Kruger National Park.
Jeanie
Sutherland Pretz
was living in a seniors’ community in
North Carolina, but decided that it wasn’t for her. She is
moving to Columbia, South Carolina, to be closer to her
daughter and two great-grandchildren.
Joan Rudolf McKinney
and
Sue Watson Nelson
joined
Isabel Brazill Paterson-Smyth
at Belmont
House, where Isabel now lives. They had a very enjoyable
lunch together, catching up on news. They also visited
with
Betty Lawrence Wansbrough
.
Amazingly, we have now reached our 65th year and it
is time to start working on a reunion to be held in the fall
of 2017. All of your input for this reunion will be gratefully
received. We hope to hear from you.
Let’s continue with our yearly contribution to the Gay
Sellers Kroeger Bursary, which goes to a girl who would
not otherwise be able to attend Havergal College. Best
wishes to all and a healthy 2017.
