’47 No identified class secretary. Please send any news to share to alumnae@agnesscott.edu. Genevieve Harper Alexander continues to enjoy good health and lives in her house by herself. On most days during the week, she goes down to work at her family business and stays until closing time. Her children are very attentive to her and include her in their activities and travels constantly. She is truly blessed. Charlotte Clarkson Jones is 96 and still at her wonderful retirement home — very active. She lost her yoga class to COVID-19, but she does it alone in her apartment. She also rides a bike and lifts weights. So much to do there — great courses, movies and spiritual events. She is a worker in the library and on the Grounds Committee and works for Dollie’s Digs, their resale shop. She gave up her car but has transportation there. Hello to all, especially her classmates.

’48 Adele Dieckmann McKee AdeleMcKee46@msn.com Your secretary wants to report to the Class of 1948 that the class scholarship, which was begun at our 50th Agnes Scott Reunion, has grown through recent gifts. One comes interestingly from a charitable fund Dabney herself had set up. Her brother Tom was executor of her estate and decided to observe distribution to the organizations to which Dabney was contributing, so the ASC Class of 1948 Scholarship, recently renamed the Dabney Adams Hart Class of 1948 Scholarship, received a gift from Dabney herself posthumously. The balance at the end of the 2021fiscal year was $ 61,600.17; it has a market

value of $82,395.16. The scholarship given this academic year is $1,411.00. This amount is very meaningful to the recipient. We are grateful for the interest Tom and his wife Anita have in supporting this project. Nancy Deal Weaver has moved to Black Mountain, North Carolina, to be near three of her children. She says progress is very slow getting out of boxes. Mary Elizabeth Jackson Etheridge has also left her home to live at Clairmont Place. She is enjoying her new abode and finds herself next door to another Scottie. We have lost Marianna Hollandsworth Donnell, who died Dec. 13, 2021. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her family. She also lived in Black Mountain in recent years. Susan Daugherty has been in the Breman Rehab Center in Atlanta as a result of hip surgery. She looks forward to getting back to Presbyterian Village soon. She is busy taking Girl Scout cookie orders over the phone. She sends greetings to all. Susan Pope Hays writes that she has thankfully missed the virus so far. Her project now is assembling photos and data of their family history for each of her four children. She sends best greetings to the class.

’49 Mary Price Coulling gacybergran@yahoo.com Ellen Page Reid is enjoying life — and good care — at Wake Robin (Shelburne, Vermont). Very little contact with UVM — or the alums. Good friends here — some longtime UVM classmates. Family nearby, no complaints! Love to hear from former classmates!
