Davis Nelles and Pat Andrea Hornsby caught up for lunch last year.
volunteerism and an award from the Delta Gamma Sorority
for her work as director of the International Docent Council.
Jean continues her work in theatre in the west end and
volunteers for Out of the Cold. A busy lady!
Mary Davis Nelles
’s daughter Catherine moved to
London, England last fall, so she and her husband Cliffe will
visit there, as well as seeing their son in Los Angeles. It was
much easier when they were both in the same city! Mary
and Cliffe enjoyed two months this winter in Palm Desert,
California.
Jean Conchie McGrath
and her husband Paul
are travelling while still young and healthy. Both have retired
from heavy volunteer commitments to enjoy time with their
six grandchildren, ages one to 21. The four youngest are
in Toronto.
Nancy Lash Robinson
and her husband Ian
are enjoying having all six grandchildren in Toronto. They
travelled to England and France in April to take in Wagner
at Covent Garden and to visit Second World War Canadian
sites. Nancy has retired from singing in the Grace Church
Choir after 27 years, and is still working hard for the church
clothing and attic sales.
We also have some sad news to report.
Marcia Cox
Vaughey
passed away on January 16, 2017 after a 25-year
battle with ataxia. They moved to Denver in 2003 after living
in Jackson, Mississippi for 27 years. Our thoughts go out to
John and to Marcia’s family. We are also sad to report that
Janet Cox Lumbers
’s husband Leonard passed away in
February. Janet and Len were married for 51 years. We send
Janet and her sons Len and Mike our deepest sympathy.
We hope to see many of you on September 23. If you are
unable to attend, please send us your news so that we can
pass it on to our fellow classmates next year.

CLASS REPS: Caroline Pack-Beresford Clarke and
Luba Frastacky
Last October saw a mini-Class Reunion when
Sherry Taylor
Drew, Cheryl Joseph
and
Luba Frastacky
attended the
launch of
Karen Magee Pape
’s book,
The Boy Who Could
Run, But Not Walk
. Written for those working with children
with early brain or nerve injury, it is catching on with people
interested in neuroplasticity. Congratulations, Karen!
Our class travels!
Honor Garland Nivin
replied to my
request for news from the Queen Mary II en route from
Cape Town to Sydney.
Jacqueline (Jackie) Cogan Smith
replied from Houston, where she was visiting a cousin after
checking in with her brother in South Carolina, just after a
Road Scholar tour of Broadway. Remember
Carroll Wistow
Willer
’s trip to the camel market in India? Well, three weeks
after that, there was a trip to Iceland for a week, and a
road trip through Croatia last fall, and then a trip up the
Irrawaddy. Carrol and Ron are now planning a trip to Sicily;
their motto is “now or never.”
Barbara (Barb) Key Lea
still takes a two-week canoe
trip with Mary Glendinning 1964 and their husbands. She
reports that new technology makes camping life a great
deal more pleasant. Even when travelling, she always makes
time for her art and continues to draw, paint and show on a
semi-full-time basis.
Virginia (Ginny) Gooch MacEachern
visited
Carolyn Pack-Beresford Clarke
last year (see the
picture attached) and there is photographic evidence that
Peebs spent time with
Penelope (Penny) Hillary Heath-
Eves
last June.
Luba Frastacky
managed to get to Rome
last fall and, thanks to a subway strike, got to experience the
Roman cobbles intimately.
