Ella Roper Snyder shared this news: “We have been to Holland this spring and perhaps Italy in the fall. We are headed for a new senior co-op in about 18 months. Our kids and grandkids are all good. The oldest grandchild graduated from college in the spring and the youngest from kindergarten!” Joan Stouffer Stogis and husband Peter visited Scotland, southern Italy, and Berlin last year. “Keep going until we’re too old and creaky—or broke!” Joan says. Between trips she enjoys making art quilts, and she had a piece juried into the national “Sacred Threads” show last year. Denny Duval Pugsley writes, “I attended my grandson’s graduation on Martha’s Vineyard—he’s off to college in the fall! I was recently in Charleston, SC, and fell in love with it.” Emily Wadhams writes, “You probably heard about the floods in Boulder. We did have it come through our yard with a roaring river in the middle of the night, but thankfully our house is just fine. I am still helping people with movement. My business is called Body at Ease.” Ceia Webb writes that most of the time she is in Critz, VA, “a little village where I volunteer at the Reynolds Family Homestead. I am involved in local bluegrass music as an
organizer for concerts. Life is great, kids are all healthy and doing well. My four girls are in Connecticut and son Hugh is in Seattle. I have 10 grands who range in age from 5 to 29!” Sally Wheelwright Hutchison writes, “I am planning a trip in August to see my sister and play for three days in NYC. I have just had back surgery and still recuperating. I got engaged on Christmas 2013 to Clete Skipper. We have been together for 12 years. We are building a house and looking to have a wonderful life together forever.”

Class Captain Meredith Wood Einaudi sent the following news: “A growing number of our class have migrated to Florida, either as full- or part-time residents. This has made for some memorable get-togethers. Spiz Withington and her husband Dave, who live in Sarasota, enjoyed entertaining Marcia Whipple Sortor and her husband in April. They spent a delightful afternoon at Selby Botanical Gardens where they have Sundays of Music under the banyans. Spiz and Dave have been taking dance lessons together in order to better enjoy music and dancing available at their local jazz clubs. They will spend a month in Wyoming this summer with family. Marcia and her husband have recently bought

a winter home in Venice, FL, to escape the cold weather of Orleans, MA, where they spend the rest of their year. Another Florida resident is Susan Ryan Mimnaugh who recently moved to Sarasota after many years spent in Tucson. Anne Boultbee Testa visits Sarasota when she makes an annual trip to see her college roommate every March. Ann continues to work as a spiritual care coordinator for hospice and to enjoy theater outings with Pat Don van Heel and Susie Enyart Magee. Last year she went on a special theater-focused cruise offered by the Queen Mary II. Along with Spiz, our other long-term Florida resident is Lyn Eadie Webster, who lives in Boca Raton. Lyn has been undergoing chemo for breast cancer, which has been harsh but seems to be having the desired effect. From Georgia, Paige Wilkerson Pruitt writes that she is leaving for a two-week cruise of the Baltic with a group of 25 bridge friends from Hilton Head, NC. For most of the year she divides her time between Hilton Head and Lake Rabun in Georgia. She has plenty of beds in both homes and welcomes classmates to visit her. On the other side of the country, Fran Trask Wozencraft enjoys eight months living outside of Seattle, WA, in Redmond near her daughter Katie, and the other four months she is in Tubac, AZ, where she is near her son John. Tubac is a delightful town with many artistic resources. Fran would love classmates to visit her there between January and May. It’s less G R E E N W I C H AC A D E M Y.O R G
