Virginia Hanscom Rugeley writes, “Hello to all. My husband and I are now residents in the independent living section of Edgewood Summit, a senior living community in the capital city of WV. We still have our cars and are still driving; we are vaccinated and boosted against COVID; and we are staying in touch with our three children and seven grandchildren while bemoaning the fact that the COVID pandemic doesn’t let us do much traveling. I am still in touch with classmates Paula Heslin Nelson and Diane Cummings Hill. We would love to get back to New England if the world ever does away with this blasted virus! Hope all is well at
