Debby White Andersen and husband Arthur are wintering in the Sarasota area on Siesta Key fleeing from the wind and snow on Cape Cod. They have enjoyed many outings with Jeanne Seebe Manser and her husband, George, who live on Sarasota Bay. Jeanne and George have called Florida their home for 15 years. Both Jeanne and Debby are looking forward to returning to Friends for their 60th reunion in Spring 2012. They hope that there are as many classmates returning as there were in 2002.

1955 Jackson R. Bryer cs Gail Richards Tirana cs Compiled by Gail Richards Tirana and Jackson Bryer: Anne Carriere writes, “I am the proud alpha dog of a ten month old (as of September 1) labradoodle, who’s so smart and so charming I can barely stand it. Figaro (as in “Marriage Of ”) has just been accepted into Good Dog Foundation class one training, which will allow me to take him to visit patients in nursing homes and hospitals. The “Great American Novel” is on hold while I deal with this wonderful development. John De Pauw writes, “I have a thesis talking about An Odyssey: Man’s Dialogue With His Father and Perspective on Moral Courage; “External things happen - but dialogue with the Father continues, solutions are “internal.” Arthur Goldschmidt writes, “Louise and I have found a buyer for our house and plan to move to a Quaker-managed retirement community called Foxdale in November. Paul Allersmeyer and wife Isa visited us recently and toured Foxdale. We have also talked on the phone with George French, who continues to work despite some health issues, and with Steve Mittenthal, who enjoys seeing his three grandchildren in the DC area. Events in the Middle East have tied me to my computer to rewrite A Brief History of Egypt, for Checkmark Books, and A Historical Dictionary of Egypt, for Scarecrow Press.” Ellen Friendly Simon writes, “Just started doing English Country dancing. Think Pride and Prejudice. Not as hard on the body as it is on the mind. You
don’t need a partner, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to feel a bit foolish. Don’t know how long I’ll keep at it. I find it hard to keep my spirits up in the misery of our time. I’m sure many of you feel the same.” Anne “Nan” Krulewitch Socolow writes, “Still love living on Cayman Brac after 25 years, this tiny (12 sq. miles, pop. 1,500 souls) last bit of the British Crown Colonies that time forgot. No traffic, no traffic lights. No fast food franchises or billboards. Somewhat like a Brit-flavoured Martha’s Vineyard of last century, but tropical... not upscale—kind of Key Westy and funky.” Peter Schrag writes, “We are well and busy. Life in Manhattan is great, plus all the usual stuff that goes with having five children, five children-in-law, and 10 grandchildren. Keeping track of the names and birthdays and ages is a good mental status exam. Three days a week, I work for the NYC Human Resources Administration. I evaluate applications from people on Medicaid and provide Home Attendant Services to people who could not live at home if they did not have help. My job is to approve or reject cases depending on appropriateness, and I also determine how many hours of service a week the person gets. Gail Richards Tirana writes, “Status quo-enjoying teaching, family, friends, the city. Like Ellen, I am dismayed by our times, but hearing everyone’s news gives joy.“ Jackson Bryer writes, “On March 12, 2011, my 44-year-old daughter Elizabeth gave birth to her first child and my fourth grandchild, the lovely Alice Deborah Bryer Muller, in Los Angeles.
