Val Glitsch ’72 and Brad Raffle make an entrance at their wedding in Houston
master’s. For all you romantics, Val Glitsch got engaged at the top of the Empire State Building on Christmas Eve 2012. Exactly six months later, one day before her 59th birthday, she married Brad Raffle, surrounded by family and friends in Houston. Just to round off a spectacular year, Val’s daughter, Skylar, began her freshman year at Yale University after a gap year in Russia with a state department program. Her son, Eric, has moved to Oslo, Norway, with his girlfriend who dances with the Norwegian National Ballet. ••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

and I have been married for 31 years this October. We have two daughters who both graduated from Hockaday while in the boarding department. Our oldest, Aileen, lives in the San Francisco area and works for HP. Our youngest, Lisa, lives in Denver and works for a non-profit. Tim and I seem to have settled in the Houston area after living overseas for so many years in many different places. For the past few years I have volunteered in the Kingwood area, overseeing capital improvements and operations for two parks. After Hurricane Ike I realized the importance of aid during disasters, and volunteer for the Houston Chapter of American Red Cross in logistics. Last year I started a business of purchasing and renovating homes to then manage as rentals. It is a lot of hard work, but I love it.” • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Rick and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary. Our son, Buddy, just turned 30, and he and his beautiful wife, Amanda, live nearby and have been married four years. Our daughter Robyn, now 25, is in the middle of graduate school and works year-round at Camp Champions in Marble Falls, Texas.” Leslie Maclay Washburne says, “We are all doing well. Hoffman Haus is busy with guests and weddings. We had a mini reunion here this past spring, which was loads of fun. Sarah and her husband Adam are living in Cyprus, the island not Texas, and teaching history and economics at the American School in Nicosia. They certainly do love their expat life! John and Evelyn are good, too. John just opened his first restaurant here in Fredericksburg, Otto’s German Bistro, to much cheering by all the locals

looking for a fun watering hole. Our precious granddaughter Josephine celebrated her first birthday in August. As any grandmother says about her granddaughter, ‘She is adorable!’ Hugh is very well, still a fireman, and helping John with his restaurant.” Nancy Nunn Wilhelm writes, “We love being ‘empty nesters,’ but enjoy visiting the girls. So, we split our time between the Sierras and the Peninsula. Jim and I just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary and are off to a resort in Lennox, Massachusetts, for some healthy R & R. We enjoy practicing yoga together, hiking, growing and canning our home-grown fruits and vegetables, and traveling. Retirement is wonderful!” Leticia Guerra Cardenas writes, “My son Hector married Montserrat Moral ’13 on November 17, 2012 in Mexico City. She is the daughter of Lupita Pumarejo ’78 from Tampico and niece of Lourdes Pumarejo ’85. With my daughters Katina ’01 and Regina ’08, and guests, we had a Hockaday Reunion of 23 Boarder Alumni. Hector and Montserrat are expecting my first grandchild at the end of August, and my daughter Katina is expecting my second grandchild in mid October. I am so excited!” Jana West Hacker, Leslie Melnick Diers, Carol Albano Caddou, Mary Morgan Peltier, Laura McCulloch Gibbs, and Lou Ann Levering Monroe gathered last spring at Leslie Maclay Washburne’s bed and breakfast, Hoffman Haus, for a weekend. A good time was had by all, and Carol Williams Arnold joined them for dinner one night. Charmaine Dennius Hill and Jeanne Tower Cox met up with Gunnigar Bodaraknankura Virojanavat in California.
