live in a paradise like New Zealand or Hawaii, Dale Ness Eggers still lives in her little slice of Heaven on the Pacific coast, her 1920’s Mediterranean home in Point Loma, California. No longer teaching, she now pursues her real passion – interior design. Dale’s home, reputedly once the summer home of legendary film director Cecil B. DeMille, was on the 2012 Christmas home tour and the Point Loma home and garden tour. Dale has made several design-influenced trips to Phoenix and Santa Fe. She spends part of each summer at her second home in Boulder, Colorado, enjoying get-togethers with Ann Bateson and Ginny Elkin Fuller. Dale’s three children are busy and successful. Son Christian was a Navy pilot and is now in law school at the University of Colorado. Daughter Sarah taught creative writing at Hunter College in New York. Now married to a screenwriter, Sarah lives in Los Angeles and is studying for her second master’s degree in art therapy. Son Nicholas is a Peace Corps volunteer, teaching English and U.S. History in Madagascar. Closer to home, classmates in the Dallas-Fort Worth area started a monthly lunch bunch a while back, which meets at various interesting spots around town. September’s meeting was at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth. A tour of the Kimbell’s permanent collection followed a delicious lunch. Liz Jaquet O’Brien and Electra Biggs Moulder were local hostesses for Dallas girls who attended: Dorothy

Some classmates, including Linda Deal Barrow, Margie Jackson Haley, and Kenny Dixon Pickens, head to Colorado during Texas’ hot summers. Mary Jane Ehricht Fally stayed even cooler journeying around Alberta, Canada. She just missed meeting up with Suzanne Raborn Burns in Calgary. I (Penny Yates Lary) still practice law and raise miniature horses near beautiful downtown Ovilla. In 2013, I was finally able to have carpal tunnel release surgery done on both wrists. My youngest daughter, Melanie Lary ’96, suspended her life in Boston for several weeks to care for me and all my animals during my recoveries. Now post surgeries, I can spend some

of my free time on the computer, writing class notes and playing Spider Solitaire without my hands being totally numb!
