Last summer, she disappeared in planning Elisa’s wedding. Elisa lives in London, where Anne planned to visit her. Her older two sons have one child each: a 6-year-old boy for Eric and 1-year-old Ian, for Chris. They are both in Connecticut. Anne’s youngest son will be married in the coming months. She enjoys her time weaving, journaling, volunteering at her church and keeping up with family and friends. Paul Toulmin works full time, but his desire to retire is very strong. He plans to spend part of his summer at his house on the Maine coast, with the balance of the year in San Francisco or traveling. He remains involved in wine judging, which has now expanded to include spirits, such as single malt scotch. Paul is in good health, as is his outlook and attitude for the future.
1956 Elizabeth Emerson writes, “Hooray for Massachusetts and the SJC. My partner Jane Van Landingham and I hold a marriage license and will be legally married by mid-June [2004]. We were actually spiritually married on April 17 in Dover, New Hampshire, at the Friends’ Meeting in the presence of our extended families and friends, including our collective five children, their spouses and two grandsons—a wonderful day! A civil marriage will make us legal in Massachusetts. We are so happy that our commitment to each other can be recognized in the same way as every other loving couple.” Margaret Sheffield Mannoni teaches at Bard College and is almost finished writing a book on modern sculpture and has a publisher. She has been delighted to catch up with Rupert Hitzig, Jane Genth Wylie ’54 and Cornelia Thomas Carroll ’54.
Lucy Wendell-Thorpe is busy traveling, volunteering and spending time with friends and family in retirement. She visited her nieces, Liddy Wendell ’94 and Ellie Wendell ’98, in Spain. Last year, Ellie accompanied Lucy to the Ecuadorian Amazon to camp in an Achuar Indian community. This was Lucy’s third visit to the community, to photograph and learn how they live: make pottery, baskets, weave, fish, garden and more.
