shortly for Spain and Portugal. Betsy is helping to run a golf tourney to benefit the Alzheimer Societies of Toronto and York Regions. This year will be their sixth. Wendy Plummer Hinde and her husband Mel have been a huge help with this. Elizabeth (Betsy) Hall-Findlay is still working and loves it. She travels the world teaching about breast surgery. She helped sponsor a Syrian refugee family in Canmore. She has taken up kite-surfing and snow-kiting in her spare time and joins her European colleagues every year on a skiing and kiting plastic surgery workshop. She still finds life fun and interesting. Though retired, Elizabeth (Liz) Maunzell works and

collaborates with younger colleagues part time. She and her husband Guy spent six weeks in Australia at the end of 2016. Liz was born in Melbourne and Australia always thrills her with its unique colours, sounds and scents. Liz and Guy bought a house in the town of La Malbaie, east of Quebec City on the St. Lawrence. Currently working on an exhibition of her photographs, she has studied fine art digital photographic printing with a master printer in Maine. Liz’s first exhibition, titled Bords d’eaux (Waters’ Edge) was this spring at the municipal library in La Malbaie. If anyone should happen that way, Liz is in the phone book.

CLASS REP: Virginia (Ginny) Marshall Diana Koester Voswinckle continues to enjoy life and her beautiful orchid garden in La Antigua, Guatemala ‒ where the weather is perfect (land of eternal spring) ‒ with the added attraction of seeing the Fuego volcano erupting from her terrace! Diana’s son in Guatemala City has a lovely girlfriend who is an actress currently performing in Grease , which brings back memories. Andrya Solomon Schulte is returning to live in Canada after 22 years in the Bahamas. She and her husband are initially investigating Ottawa and planning to arrive in April after a brief stop in Augusta to attend The Masters. Janet Baillie (Mcphee) is missing her husband Barry Mees, who died very suddenly in early 2016, but she is thrilled with her first grandchild Libby, born two months later. While visiting Libby and her parents in San Francisco, Janet took a weeklong sewing course with Sandra Betzina to reawaken her snoozing interest in making clothes…and it worked! Judy McAlpine Duffy recently retired from CIBC and has moved into a smaller home with an expanded quilt room so that she can indulge her passion, her quilting business. She and Gerry plan to travel when they can get away from their businesses. Margaret (Margie) Wright Knox is still happily living in Vancouver and now also on beautiful Hornby Island,

one of the northern Gulf Islands, where friends and all four children plus four grandchildren (ages 11, 10, 2 and 1) visit! Her daughter Heather and family live in Vancouver; her son Patrick and family are just outside of Fredericton; her daughter Elizabeth (Bitsy) lives in Berlin, Germany and her son Charlie is nearby. Caroline (Carrie) Barber Crerar enjoys retirement, but still works at St. Mike’s occasionally, covering for nurses on holiday. She lives with her daughter in Guelph and visits Beth Evans in Toronto when she works, but is moving into a new condo in Guelph in May. Gillian Duder Huntley is still gardening and flower arranging at the Hospice, and does lots of Scottish country dancing and cross-country skiing. She travelled to Peru with her son and hiked in the Andes (including part of the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu) and spent time at an eco lodge in the Amazon Basin with more hikes into the jungle. Gillian highly recommends this very adventurous trip and encourages us to try it while we are still “young”! Class Rep Virginia (Ginny) Marshall has enjoyed communicating with classmates for the last four years, but is ready to pass the baton. Please consider stepping up. 2017 will be Ginny’s last year as a competitive golfer at the provincial and national levels, but she will continue to attend the golf tournaments as a Level 3 Rules Official. Have an amazing year, everyone!
