You can tell Thayer is passionate about her work. SHERRI BOWERS is retired in Georgia, and it sounds like she is loving retirement. She made her acting debut as Bev in Ellen Byron’s Graceland. she now has the acting bug along with her husband. JAN ROREBECK Dees continues to enjoy retirement from teaching; she took things pretty easy in 2013 and concentrated on helping husband David get stronger from a serious infection he had. He is gradually getting better. PATTY DOWNES Johnson and husband Steve traveled to France and Italy, and then spent lots of time at the beach. CLAIRE HAILEY Hall continues to be an
active grandmother to her five little ones. PERRY HICKS Jordan likes the warm weather in San Antonio. Daughter Liz moved south to New Orleans after completing law school in New York; Liz works in the public defender’s office. Perry’s other daughter Sara works for a firm in Washington, DC. MARION BROOKE Carson and husband Charlie are enjoying time together living in Charlotte, NC, and with Marion’s mother who still lives in her own home. Earlier in the year, I heard from STUART RINEHART Stewart; she continues to be very active as an Episcopal priest, and she is also involved with a Counseling program at Johns Hopkins. EILEEN NOLEN Shepherd and husband Stephen spent Christmas in Disney World entertaining Stephen’s grandson. PAM HOLDERNESS Hassenfelt and Smack run into each other at the local farmer’s market almost every Saturday. Pam either brings a grandchild, daughter or husband Steve with her. NANCY JANE STEADMAN Calloway, ANN JOYNER Cross, LYNDA “SMITTY” SMITH Swann and Smack had their annual pre-holiday dinner together in Winston Salem, NC. Nancy Jane older daughter Holland is working hard in her medical residency program. Ann continues to work part-time for her husband while finding time to be grandma to son Oliver’s toddler daughter Dottie in Charlotte, NC. Ann’s daughter Eleanor works for Davidson College. Smitty continues to face the daily challenges of running the family mail order business. Since earning her MBA, daughter Parker has worked for Lululemon Athletica; Parker and husband Thomas just moved from Vancouver to Charleston, SC. In 2013 daughter Lanier got married and now works for a consulting firm in the DC area. HOWARD BROWN Millican, LYNNIE HICKS Mitchell, and Smack get together several times a year, and they had their annual post-holiday lunch for the first time in Raleigh, NC. Howard’s new puppy Lizzie keeps her busy, but she makes time for some little travel. Son David does bird research in interesting parts of the world; he is headed to Hawaii for the first few months of 2014; Howard will have a beautiful place to visit. Lynnie’s big news is that she sold her house in Virginia and moved to Raleigh, NC. She is happy with this big change in her life and has been busy renovating a condo in the Cameron Village area. Daughter Mary Lyons now lives in Wilmington, NC, and works for a private school there. Daughter Laurie and husband Steve moved from New Hampshire to Washington, DC, and Laurie began a new job with the National Trust; this fits in with her graduate degree in historic preservation. Smack continues to teach special education in the public schools, and she works hard and long hours in an effort to deal with the challenges of the job. Hope all is well with all of those Smack has not heard from in a while. Please send Smack some news about yourself. Smack writes class notes each January and would like to include more classmates. All classes are invited to the April reunion since it is the 125th anniversary. Smack is going; please join her!
