Mac and I went to visit Alexandria, VA and Mt. Vernon in March. For those of you who have not visited George Washington’s home for 20 or more years you should take a trip. It is open 365 days a year and is quite an experience. Jane Day Stuart sends word that “All is well with me. My three kids live in NYC; one a lawyer, one in private equity and one a therapist. I still live in Florida half the year and in Maine the other half. Still play lots of tennis. I now finally have a grand baby. It’s about time. Love to all.” Rachel Magruder Allen lets us know that her mom joined the Allens on a trip to Cuba last fall. Stuart Kelly Trinkle writes: Things are going well in Roanoke, I am really enjoying retirement and staying busy with volunteer work at the Ronald McDonald House. I was able to attend their international conference in Chicago last summer representing the Board. It was so moving to meet folks from all over the world - there are over 330 Houses globally helping tens of thousands of families with seriously ill children. I hope to do more travel once I have my knee replacement in September - yet another challenge of geezerhood. I very much appreciated the kind notes, calls and emails after Mom’s passing on Thanksgiving. It was heartwarming to see Susan Andrews, Susan Athey and Janet at her memorial service and it was great catching up with Georgia Stevens’ Mom, Maggie who looks and sounds the same. I hope everyone marks their calendars for the first weekend in October, 2018 for our 50th. As for me, Susan MacDCG Andrews,
my news is mixed. In July my husband of nine years died of a massive heart attack. Three weeks later my daughter Jesse Galitzin, 1999 moved with her fiancé to Carlsbad, CA for his career. They live less than two hours from Lev, Ginger and baby Leo (LLG VII!) In October, I confounded the advice givers and moved to a retirement community where as the youngest one here (by years), I am having a ball shaking up the “norm” among these dear folks! Please keep in touch even if it isn’t for publication. Facebook has reconnected many of us. Mostly, plan on the 50th. We’d love being all together.
Members of the Class of 1969 are moving into a new phase in our lives – retirement! Valerie Stafford Hardy Sprenkle and Kathy Waters Marshall Weatherly both took the big step and report that life is good, really good. I didn’t realize that Valerie had been a full-time nurse for 40 years in Baltimore and York, PA. She retired as Vice President of Acute Care for the WellSpan Health Network, a four-hospital integrated healthcare delivery system. She’d also served as vice president of Patient Care Services and the chief nursing officer at York Hospital, WellSpan’s flagship. Since retiring, she and her husband have been traveling to Paris, Normandy, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, DC (to see Andrea Bocelli in concert – bucket list, she says!) and a Caribbean cruise. She and Kathy Waters did Boone, NC and Berkeley Springs, WV last year. Like many of our classmates, Valerie is all about her children and grandchildren, spending a lot of time with son Rob’s two-year old Luke. Kathy Waters just tells me she’s enjoying her time with her kids and grandkids. She says she’s expecting her ninth grandchild in July! I haven’t done a count, but Cathy Prout Lears Bennett is also in the lead with six grandchildren! Son Jimmer has a boy, Jenn, 1997 three girls and Erin, 2001 one of each. Fortunately for Erin, who works in Development at RPCS, her little one can stay at Little Bear Child Care Center at the school. “Kudos and thanks to RPCS!” Erin’s husband John is in Development with Gilman.
Susie Bradley Boutilier’s, 1969 grandchildren - Tyler, Tommy, and Emmy are the children of her daughter Peggy Boutilier Williams, 1994
