CLASS REP: Dorothy Vernon Macdonald
Our class celebrated our 60th Reunion with a fine dinner at
the Badminton and Racquet Club after the school cocktail
party, graciously hosted by
Sue Hamilton Sisam
. Present
were
Libby Wade Abbott, Wendy Blair, Earlaine Stewart
Collins, Anne Gibson, Barbara Goodwin-Zeibots, Leigh
Chestnut Halls, Benita Haslett, AnnMcCullagh Hogarth,
Sonia Armstrong Labatt, Dorothy Vernon Macdonald,
Arlene Wardle Matheson, Barbara Trent Morris,
Valerie Wilson Rhead, Carolyn Chinn Thompson, Lynne
Beament Tuer
and
NancyWrongWallace
, 17 in all, almost
half of the 36 in our graduation photo. Sue looked at options
and concluded that the club would be best. Thank you, Sue.
In February, she was playing tennis on the morning the fire
started that destroyed most of the old building. Thankfully,
there were no deaths or serious injuries.
Janet Gibb Reynolds
was sorry to miss the reunion. Her
grandson’s wedding was great and she and her husband
are off to Scotland in May.
Penny Rennie Harris
and
her husband’s travels included a wonderful boat trip on
the Caledonian Canal in Scotland just at reunion time.
Joan Branscombe Walter
was particularly sorry to miss
this reunion, though this is always their chance to visit
their grandsons, now 8 and 10, on their school break in
California. She wrote from Boston that they will be having
a travelling year for family – Shanghai and Tokyo, Guernsey
in the Channel Islands, their usual Cape Cod summer, then
Vancouver and Salt Spring Island and then California again.
Barbara Morris
joined her son John’s family for a spur-
of-the-moment trip to Whistler and had a fine time. She
visited
Rosemary Laing Glynn
when she was in Bermuda.
Libby Wade Abbott
has moved to a seniors’ apartment
in Burlington; she can see the lake from her seventh-floor
deck. She is delighted to have a new granddaughter.
Anna
Lou Little Paul
visits her brother in Ingersoll.
Valerie
Wilson Rhead
and her husband no longer winter in Texas,
although they’ve kept the cottage there. Teaching bridge
has helped them make new friends in Bracebridge, though
the closing of the Nipissing College campus has meant the
loss of the continuing education courses which they were
enjoying.
Nancy Wrong Wallace
and her husband are off
to Victoria.
Our best wishes to all of our friends who are braving
serious medical problems or caring for family members.
