drove to New Mexico, an interesting drive on the old Santa Fe trail across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Taos, NM. Lots of flat land, little towns, Family Dollars and grain elevators. We visited most of NM and ended up on an interesting 5 day Road Scholar excursion to Indian ruins and living pueblos in the western part of the state which was very dry. The sight of Lake Michigan as we drove into Chicago looked mighty good.

1951 TKS Mrs. Gail Robertson Marentette 93 Glen Avenue, Llewellyn Park West Orange, NJ 07052 Gail Robertson Marentette heard from Joan Jacobus Miller who wrote: I was away in NC when you phoned. We had a house exchange with Tom/Beth’s neighbor: us using their beach house on Emerald Isle for a week and the neighbors using our apt. in July while we’re in ME. It worked out well (so far); the whole family dropped in during that week, the weather was good, the water still a bit chilly and nightly games of “murder” in the dark. Before that, as I told you, we
Skipper Moran phoned the alumni office with the following news: There was a memorial service for David Kerr ’52, husband of Gail Tomec Kerr with a reception at the Bay Head Yacht Club where David was Commodore in the early ’90’s. Many ’52ers were there to honor Dave and support Gail including Jane Redfield Forsberg, Fay Taft Fawcett, Ann Dwyer Milne plus yours truly and my husband, Clark, who was Dave’s roommate at Wharton. Dave’s friend, George Lucas ’52, gave a wonderful eulogy. Jane Redfield Forsberg and her husband, Bob, celebrated Jane’s BIG birthday by taking their kids and grandkids to The Sagamore Hotel on Lake George, NY. Jean Fairgrieve Granum is still living in Potomac, MD, and doing her beautiful watercolors. Clark and I went to Bradenton Beach, FL, in February. Our oldest granddaughter, Storey Wanglee, is a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania. Time flies.
