She is 97 years old and sends much love to her classmates.
’47 No identified class secretary. Please send any news to share to alumnae@agnesscott.edu. Charlotte Clarkson Jones just celebrated her 96th birthday! How could that be? She hopes some of her classmates are keeping up with her. She just put down a new floor in her beautiful library and
she helped move more than 4,000 books. Now she will help put them all back! She loves to volunteer in the library, garden and do other activities. She would love to hear from you all. Genevieve Harper Alexander continues to live at home in Dublin, Ga., and works daily in the family business. She has many friends much younger than her whom she sees quite often. “The girls” meet at her house on Friday nights for happy hour to review the week and discuss any subjects they want. It helps keep her up to date. Effective March 2022, one of her granddaughters will be a professor in the IT Department at Northwestern. As the TV commercial says, “Life is just a number, and mine is unlisted.”
’48 Adele Dieckmann McKee AdeleMcKee46@msn.com A tribute to the class of 1948 from Secretary Adele Dieckmann McKee: I want to cheer you on with the insight I’ve had from being secretary at the end of our lives. The quality of each of your lives, the service you have offered to community and friends, and the professional accomplishments gained I have so appreciated, as I’ve seen the distinction in our existence. For girls expected to be only good mothers, you have far exceeded that goal. President James Ross McCain used to say to us that when you educate a man, you have educated one person for a job. When you educate a woman, you nurture a whole family for life. We have from our class distinguished scientists, musicians, teachers of English and other subjects, missionaries, preachers, writers, and other vocations from a day when we weren’t supposed to perform thus. Your college can be amazed at your record and thank you deeply for the quality of living you have achieved. I salute you for what each of you has meant! Exceptionally well done!
