Correspondent: Ruth Stevenson 1957 Ann McDonald continues her outstanding painting ‘as usual’ and has had several exhibits despite a bout of pneumonia. Hope you are well soon, Ann! Norma Brawley Dugger has been on the move—from Bethesda, Md., to Ingleside Rock Creek Retirement Facility, which began shutting down because of COVID ten days after Norma’s arrival. For the next three months she was at her daughter’s house at Atlantic Beach, Fla. Back in the Washington-area, Norma awaited what she hoped would be a successful shoulder replacement, but a freak swim accident caused a ruptured tendon in her ankle. Stem cell treatment appears to be working, but a planned Alaskan trip and a voyage on the Queen Mary 2 to London had to be cancelled.

Norma is planning a trip to Palm Beach and she hopes to reconnect with Kit Zimmer Pannill while there. Norma is also in touch with Mary Denny Scott Wray, Alice Williams Vining, Molly Haskell, and Ellen Michaux Gower. Norma’s daughters and granddaughters are working successfully in Florida and San Francisco, while her granddaughter is becoming a ‘full-fledged

artist and baker.’ Kit Pannill has been traveling quite a bit. Last spring she enjoyed a trip to India; next fall she has plans for Amsterdam, Oslo, and Copenhagen. At Christmas she took 10 family members to Egypt and Dubai for two weeks, including eight days in a dahabiya (boat)! Morocco is also in the picture. Kit also notes, “All my travels are with my younger daughter, Anna Bryan Sullivan ‘86, who lives in Wyoming. “As long as I can walk, I might as well keep going!” Jane Fant and her son were planning to go to Alaska in search of the Northern Lights in March. Jane notes, “It’s cold in New Hampshire, and only peeks of the lights are possible. Not the whole show. So far, there hasn’t been too much snow.” Mary Denny Wray, Jeannie Brydon, Sandra Bruner Hague, Betsy Saunders Miller, Babs Childrey Fowler, and yours truly, Ruth Stevenson—the Tuesday Mosaic Group --- continue to meet for lunch on the third Tuesday of every month at Mosaic, a restaurant in Richmond. Caroline Gray McNiel, Caroline Hunton High and Pat Pusey Clark occasionally join. To close out the notes, here is a sentiment from Kit Zimmer, “We all miss Jeanne Bounds Hamilton”

1958

Correspondent: Susan Judd Ellis

Greetings to all from the class of 1958. Katherine Lowe Brown reported that she and her husband Madison will be going to Madeira, Portugal, with their oldest son in April. She also reported that she is the editor of a book on Shrine Mont and the author of a historical book on Sunnyside, an 1810 plantation at the edge of Lexington, Va. Lina Lee Bacigalupo Butler wrote to me that her grandson has given her a Christmas gift of great importance to her - a trip to New York City to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade next fall. She is so excited about this trip and the fact that they will make it together. Suzanne Sulzer Powers reached out.

I hadn’t heard from Suzanne in some time. She said that they are doing very well in North Carolina rooting for Duke. She has 12 grandkids and a second great–grandkid on the way. She is a docent at Duke Gardens giving trolley tours for those who have difficulty

1959

walking. She loves being on the Altar Guild at Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Church and feels that life is good. Ann Reynolds Smith reported that she had her hip replaced last summer and is feeling fine now. She is doing very well over at Cedarfield. Her granddaughter has been accepted to UVA. She is very happy about that. Sally Yeatts Taylor reported the sad news that she and her husband Leon lost their son recently. May he rest in peace. Our condolences to them.

I, your correspondent, Susan Ellis, am sad to report that my dear husband Gary has gone into memory care. It has become impossible for me to care for him at home any longer, so we believe this is best. He, on the other hand, thinks otherwise. It is a difficult time now but he will adapt eventually??!! Thanks to you who reached out. Unfortunately that’s all the news that I got this time. I hope next time more of you can send me some of your news so we can find out what’s going on with our classmates!

I hope you all are doing well. Write when you can.

Correspondent: Martha Cole Glenn

Greetings from your Class of ’59 Scribe, Martha Cole Glenn, who has discovered that asking for news and sharing it (by hitting “reply all”) has led to conversations between classmates about the past. Some interesting memories were shared when Mary Gunst remembered visiting Glennie Reynolds Martin’s place in Jamaica with Flossie Bryan Fowlkes and others. Mary lives in Florida in the winter and New Hampshire the rest of the year. Greta Gibson is selling her house in California and moving permanently to Lyme, N.H., very close to her daughter and family. She reports, “I’ll miss Santa Cruz, but moving back to the East Coast feels like coming home, even though it’s a new home. Lyme is a wonderful place to live, and I’ll enjoy having four seasons again.” She and Clay Clement Pytlik (who has discarded her walker and cane – after hip surgery) plan to visit before she leaves. Greta says “yes” to a proposed visit from Kate Harwood Gooch who lives in a retirement home in Memphis, Tenn.

Kate reports that she is “comparing notes” with Rhetta Fair Wilson from Rhetta’s retirement home in Newport News, Va. Kate’s “home” is discussing international relations over the next eight months “thanks to the Foreign Policy Association”; and Kate suggested that “maybe Patsy Davis could be a guest speaker.” Back to Glennie, who shared some fun memories – me (Martha Cole Glenn), at first base, Louise Lewis Foster as Puck in A Midsummer Nights’ dream, Mary Gunst leading the “laughter” one day, hockey games, field days, being one of the shortest in the class, lunch with Patsy Davis and Greta, visiting with Melinda Page Hamilton in NYC, and a “lovely” Christmas card from Maggie Chase Hager (We all thank you Maggie for keeping in touch!). Glennie is grateful “for my wonderful husband Duck, daughter, son and four wonderful grandchildren.” Patsy has continued her interest in – and study of – the Middle East, visiting Jerusalem, seeing friends, searching for Palestinian art

3

and spending a couple of days in the West Bank.

This past summer she went to Poland and the Baltics -- “great beauty blended with such a tragic past.” In October she “knocked on doors” in North Carolina and commented that her favorite event was the Christmas Eve pageant starring Beatrice, age 7, as an evil Herod with an itchy beard and Anthony, age 5, as Balthazar with a golden crown. Anne Pinckney Gay’s daughter is a Representative in the Kentucky State Legislature. All her children live in Kentucky, and her grandson got married in New Orleans. Her children are “taking good care of me assisted by my Golden Retriever.” Suzanne Nichols Harman plays “a lot” of bridge at her retirement home in Richmond (Covenant Woods) and even teaches it to some “who have difficulty hearing, seeing, concentrating, etc.”

Despite some “tough times” she is happy and hopes to go to NYC in May to see her grandson get his master’s from Julliard! Nancy Moss Hahn still needlepoints and works at the family business. She wins the “caregiver prize” for dealing with a son’s triple by-pass surgery and husband’s hip replacement on two

successive days. Katherine Parrish Shelburne wrote succinctly: “still working part-time as a psychologist for public schools, playing tennis, represented South in national tennis competition, granddaughter auditioning for dance companies in NYC, son helping 15 states with affordable housing, husband working as consultant for Veterans Administration.”

Betsy Chambers Shindleblower is enjoying her “good decision” to move to Bay Village Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in “COLD” Sarasota, Fla. – where she enjoys volunteering, social activities, exercising, etc. Your scribe, Martha Cole Glenn, notes that at least nine of us live in CCRCs (Kate, Rhetta, Maggie, Suzanne, Louise, Betsy, Mary Rutherfoord Mercer Ferguson, Ann Booker Darst and me.) I am very active in the Virginia Continuing Care Residents Association (VaCCRA) as Vice President of Government Relations and am successfully working with Virginia legislators and my CCRCs management company to promote better resident-management communications.

And finally: After the Class of ’59 fund for a more equitable and inclusive community provided the funds to initiate a class oral history project, St. Catherine’s has taken over the cost of finalizing the work.

1960 Correspondent: Carol Manning Walker 65th Reunion | May 2–3, 2025

It seems these newsletter deadlines come faster than the news, at least as far as our class of 1960 goes. Not much to report, but hoping to see many and hear more at the 65th reunion scheduled for May 2-3, 2025. Beth Allen Cuthbert, Sue Eve Fowlkes and Janie Elliott Norfleet will be keeping everyone up to date on happenings on the event details. Sue has been dealing with health issues but I hope all is going well. Our sympathies go out to Sally Trapnell Warthen on the loss of her husband.

Janie Norfleet, as always, is helpful with class information. Attempts to get our mutual grandchildren together in New York City haven’t materialized yet, but still a possibility. She plays bridge with a group and is very active in the Richmond community as well.

Frances Johnson Lee-Vandell stays busy with her Autism Sanctuary west of Charlottesville,

now up to seven regular young adults, with UVA graduates in the field as group leaders.

Her place has chickens, bees and cows as well as other activities to keep the attention of the students. In addition, she has a new great-grandson, Christopher Lazo Lee, born in June 2024. She will be unable to attend St. Catherine’s Reunion as she is already hosting a Chatham Hall alumnae event at the same time.

Pecky Harrison Bradshaw reports that she went to a party at the Everglades Club Palm Beach. Fla., for Patsy Jamerson Williamson ’61 who lives there now. Pecky and Charlie are now enjoying their new villa in a Ft. Myers, Fla., continuing care community called Cypress Cove. Her granddaughter, Ellie Craig, will graduate from JMU with a degree in nursing this spring. Pecky had lunch with Nancy Pusey Ayers and her husband Bob

4

before Christmas and also Barbara Vaughan Koun last fall. Barbara has traveled to many places including Ethiopia. Pecky visited Beverley Hershey Guy in Southern Shores in the fall and talks to Vickie Moore Kempton in Richmond on a regular basis. Dottie Norris Schipper and Jan took a wonderful cruise in mid November, stopping in Bermuda for several days. They had a great time touring and seeing the island.

Sue Fowlkes and Mert are fine and she notes, “enjoying life, and having our children and grandchildren living within 15 minutes of us. We are very Lucky to still be able to visit Bermuda whenever we can.”Kitsy Rose Small, who is an only child, now has 11 grandchildren and one great– grandchild. She said it is shocking to realize that your baby is a grandfather. Kitsy chats with Sallie McPherson Duell and Dottie often.

1961

As for me, your correspondent, Carol Walker, Mike and I are still running the business, though trying to downsize, and like many, keeping up with health issues (mostly Mike), but still enjoying life in the country. Our grandchildren are all spread out, so keeping up with everyone is a challenge. Until next time, hopefully with more updates from everyone.

Frances Johnson Lee-Vandell ’60’s new great-grandson, Christopher Lazo Lee, born June 2024

Correspondents: Betsy Burke Trow | Sara Riley Gibson

Dabney Williams McCoy continues to spend summers at her family cottage in Maine. In October, she and her daughter Catherine McCoy Driscoll ’97 are planning to cruise from Athens to Istanbul with a friend and her daughter. Susan Terrell Luck enjoyed a visit from Torrence McClure Harman. In February, Susan planned to spend 10 days in Florida with a friend and, in May, she will take a cruise to Bermuda. She enjoys visiting Kitty Anderson Carling with Betsy Burke Trow and they love to reminisce about our classmates. She recently caught up with Patsy Jamerson Williamson who now lives in Palm Beach.

Nancy Winters Mullins is going to Morocco and Egypt with Overseas Adventure Travel. Jane Edmunds Novak and her husband Wayne have moved to a wonderful retirement community in Atlantic Beach, Fla., about 20 miles from Ponte Vedra Beach where they lived for 25 years. They live five minutes from their daughter Emily and their 5-year-old granddaughter. Page Harrison Pragoff writes that she is still living by the Brandywine in

Wilmington, Del., with her 60-pound goldendoodle. Her children and grandchildren are nearby so she can attend soccer, baseball and basketball games. Her granddaughters are preparing to go off to college, which she notes is, “too soon!” She also says, “If you’re in the area, please come see us!” As for me, your correspondent, Sara Gibson, I went with my daughter, Betsy Macon Dotterer ’83, on a W&L trip to Antarctica on a National Geographic ship. What an adventure! My granddaughter, Townsend Dotterer ’19, just left for her two years in Nepal with the Peace Corps. I hope to see Ellen Black Seabring when I go to New York City this summer. Betsy Trow writes that their youngest grandchild Baxter will be finishing his senior year at St. Christopher’s in May. Betsy and her husband Randy love having their son’s family a block away, and their daughter Marshall Trow Lynch ’89 living in Richmond off and on during the year.

Betsy is grateful for a memorable visit with Mary Meade Trice Davenport with Susan Luck, before Mary Meade passed. We were all

5

saddened to lose our dear Mary Meade, who passed away on January 23, 2025. To quote her lovely obituary, Mary Meade “was a light in this world to many.

Genuinely interested in others, she shared her kind and happy

1962

spirit, contagious smile and laughter with everyone whose pathShe was a positive influence, bestowing her thoughtful perspective, benevolence, no-nonsense wisdom, and quick-wit upon many.” We will miss her. Happy Spring and Summer to all our classmates. We love hearing from you.

Correspondent: Gwen Brannon Weeks

Some of the Richmond area classmates gathered for lunch during the Christmas holidays. Virginia Williams Stanley made the trip from Orange, Va., to join us for our gathering. Leslie Thompson Brockman joined us and we were thrilled to see her progress after experiencing a stroke in September.

Courtenay Sands Wilson celebrated her 80th birthday in her beloved Paris. Courtenay says she is very blessed to have her two sons, Stuart and Alex, and Alex’s wife Chelsea nearby.

She loves pet-sitting her grand dog named Penny. Nan Seaton Hall enjoyed a vacation to the island of Nevis accompanied by her daughter Laura Townes ’86, Laura’s husband Rick, her granddaughter Isabel and her grandson Sam. Isabel is attending the local community college and works on costumes for a local theater. Nan continues to use her beautiful voice in many choirs, and she chaired the Employee Appreciation Fund at Westminster for the past two years. Nancy Conkle Swann writes, “It’s been a busy year for me as I made the decision last spring to sell my little place on St. Barth which I’ve owned for 20 years. With the recent bitter cold in Asheville, N.C., I’ve missed it!! But I’m headed back for a visit in April as I have so many friends there whom I miss. I still sit on the church vestry there and serve as secretary for an international homeowners group since all our meetings are on Zoom. So I do keep in touch. Last September, Hurricane Helene did a number on Western North Carolina...

Having been born and raised in this area, I never thought in my wildest dreams that a hurricane could do so much massive damage to our mountains. Fortunately for me, I was in Atlanta visiting family and stayed there for 10

days until my Asheville home had water and electricity. I was also very fortunate to have a great contractor and a tree man who removed the tree from my house and placed a tarp over the damaged area so there was no interior damage. However, one whole side of the house had to be redone on the exterior, repainted, and a zillion trees removed. There were so many trees down in my front yard that I could not see or reach the front door when I returned! But in the scheme of things, I was very lucky and very blessed compared to so many people who lived near rivers or streams and lost everything, including lives. For those who have been to Asheville, certain areas will never be the same. Biltmore Village had 28 feet of stormwater in every building! And the River Arts District is in shambles. So many businesses were destroyed and will probably never come back as they do not have the resources to rebuild on the land they own.

Many did not have flood insurance. Businesses owned by big companies may be able to rebuild, but the clean-up is a massive job. All the rivers are filled with debris and are heavily polluted. Entire small towns were just washed away - Chimney Rock, Bat Cave, etc. But western NC people are strong and we will survive, but it’s a long slog. Otherwise, I am fine and so grateful for all my friends (including my wonderful St. C. classmates) and for my great family who are all in Atlanta and whom I see very often.” We are thinking of you, Nancy, and all of those affected by the storm in North Carolina. Kenzie Sinnickson Hubard and I, your correspondent, Gwen Weeks, recently moved to Westminster Canterbury. We both agree that downsizing and the move were grueling experiences.

6

One of the most difficult challenges for me was giving my dear sweet yellow Lab Bran to my nephew. Bran is enjoying her new home with more people to love her. I moved just in time to have my right hip replaced and spend 10 days in the rehab unit here

at WC. This fact will give you a good laughI helped deliver my orthopedic surgeon years ago. A fact which illustrates my AGE! We are now in our 80’s and should say we are “vintage” since “elderly” has a different connotation of being really old- which we are not! Stay healthy and safe and remember that we have a reunion in two years.

Lillian Young -Retiring 1965 Correspondent: - Needs new Correspondent 60th Reunion | May 2–3, 2025

Margaret Eppes Curtis wrote that she does not have “anything exciting to report” but that she is looking forward to seeing everyone at our 60th reunion. Sandy Cadwalader wrote that she would “try to get something to you,” but I have not heard anything else. Buff Hanes Thomas wrote that she has “no news worth sharing.” She closes with “All the best, go White Team!” Mary McKinstry Marriner says that she and Dave are still living in Atlanta. They love it there, and are close to their children and eight grandchildren. They are semi-retired and she keeps “very busy pursuing my art.” We can find her on Facebook or Instagram @marymarrinerart. Keithley Rose Miller wrote that she is going to Egypt. Her brother and her ex-husband are coming. She and Cathy Hall Stopher and Betty Davenport Wright are having “our lunch here in Palm Beach soon.” Her “kids are great.” Jacqueline Spencer wrote that she is a “retired assistant

professor of biology and am teaching part-time at Virginia Peninsula Community College. I also volunteer in my area as a Certified Virginia Master Naturalist. Additionally, I volunteer as an American Kennel Club Evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen Program.” She adds that she is unable to attend the reunion this year due to a “back condition” that limits her travel. Louise “Weezie” Firth writes she moved to Denver five years ago to be with her daughter Firth and grandson Malcolm. She became a great-grandmother last year- twice! She reports, “Life is good!”As for me, your correspondent, Lillian Glover Young, I am happily married to a wonderful man. We have been together for over 20 years now and now live in Charlottesville, Va. I still teach an Advanced Income Tax course through NC State University. It is a two-day course that I teach to other CPAs and tax professionals. Last year I taught three sessions. We now have a live

7

video option so that many of the participants can take the course from home.

I still have two children and four grandchildren. The oldest grandchild is 17, and we all gather at Nags Head in July.

I keep up with Sally Williams Christianson. We are staying together for our 60th reunion in

1966

May. I hope everyone will come to the reunion.

It is May 2-3. You can find the events on the St. Catherine’s by clicking here. See you there!

One final comment. I have been doing these notes for several years now and I would like to pass the baton to someone else. It’s a nice way to keep in touch with classmates. Please someone volunteer. The contact at St C is Katy Moore, her email address is kmoore@st.catherines.org.

Correspondent: Louise Hayman

I, your correspondent, Louise Hayman am, first of all, thankful to have the health and strength to, once again, tap out a few words to update you on each other. Sorry if some of what follows is inevitably no longer news by the time you read it. I was delighted to receive a detailed update from Claire Agricola England from Birmingham, Ala., where she has served as caregiver to three family members for the same number of decades. She says she’s too distant to get together with classmates, to which I say “rubbish” and suggest she pack up her cocker spaniel Tidbit and head to the next occasion. Janie Mebane McCall kindly included me on her Christmas card list featuring nine, I think, grandchildren.

That’s a lot of love for their proud Hickory, N.C.-based “Mimi.” Corbin Kendig Rankin’s Christmas card featured a gorgeous group at a family wedding. No details. Corbin, I missed your usual accompanying letter. Cindy Parke Beukema’s amazing husband John keeps us updated on her life in recovery. Cindy has weathered a number of setbacks but has been able to enjoy some family time with their two sons and two grandchildren, all in the Minneapolis area. Jane Cross Hamlin and her husband Rick are pleased that the prognosis is good for his recovery after a protracted illness and that he has returned to work and his routine. I learned from Jane that Louisa Tobias Campbell has also had some health issues in her family, including both her own and her husband’s cardiac problems. Jane also reported that Marion Brooke Carson traveled to South America earlier this year. I can report that Emily Borden Ragsdale and Frances Gravely are both doing well because the three of us enjoyed lunch when I visited Chapel Hill in January. Frances is still involved with Vietri,

her uber-successful family business. Emily was on her way to Australia for a cold weather get-away she enjoyed with friends. I am hoping to join the Ragsdale clan for a late winter getaway to a warm climate. Mary Jane Hipp Brock wrote that former school head Gussie Johns Bannard ’73 sent a link to a sermon she gave about the Big Apple Circus, the organization for whose inspirational leadership St. Catherine’s honored Mary Jane years ago. Lynn Hornor Keith vows that this will be the last year she and husband Taylor spend the entire winter in Coronado, Calif., as they are running out of grandchildren living at home there. They anticipate downsizing to a retirement community in the Washington, D.C., community. Great fortune enabled Katie Harris and her husband Marvin to escape the Eaton fire in California this winter, though they were evacuated from their home in Pasadena and remained displaced for two weeks. Were any others of our California classmates affected? We send class condolences to the families of Courtney Campbell Spencer of Richmond who died in December and Kitty Moss Bayliss, also of Richmond, whose daughter Crandall Bayliss Thompson ’94 died this winter. Kathy Barnes Hendricks lost her beloved husband Pete early this year, shortly after breaking her leg.

Despite that horrifying combination of circumstances, I am betting on her regaining her strength and resuming her amazingly active life of volunteer leadership which has benefited many organizations and individuals in Atlanta and elsewhere. Already this edition of our class notes is too full of sadness but, in closing, I am afraid I have to add to that by reporting that Furlong Baldwin, my companion of 37 years, died in December just

8

shy of his 93rd birthday at his beloved home Eyre Hall, on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. I have been almost overwhelmed by the condolences from many of you and, if I have not properly

1967

expressed my appreciation, please forgive me, but the foggy aftermath of losing a mate is a force to be reckoned with. Here’s wishing for better news to share next time and, meanwhile, I am more thankful than ever for dear friends in the Class of 1966.

Correspondents: Tassie Bosher | Holly Materne Antrim

Thanks to everyone who shared news with our class members! The most exciting news to report is the marriage of Patricia Long in January 2025 to Jeanne Marie Kauss. Pat, we wish you both every happiness! Ann Major Gibb, Durbin Gill Emerson, and Laurie Gilmore Rigby, and their respective husbands are all retired, enjoying volunteer work and life in general and of course, grandchildren.

Ann Rennolds Gray, Betsy Meyers Anderson and Kim Meyers Ford are all living nearby in Virginia while our classmate Betsy Epperly is still living on Prince Edward Island, Canada, enjoying her work with the L.M. Montgomery Institute. Church volunteerism is huge for Page Murrell Woltz, Andy Harrison Bennett, and Melinda Williams Davis. We know where they received those religious basics! Betsy Egelhoff Schusser and her husband survived the Lahaina, Hawaii, wildfires of 2023, but they lost their home, business and community, and are now living on the other side of the island where life is back to basics! Recent new grandparents include Laura Leake Brown, whose granddaughter, Adair Walker Ramsey, daughter of Laura’s daughter, Nancy Brown Ramsey ’07, was born in March 2024, and Maria Harrison Reuge, whose grandson, Philip Harrison Kelly, was born in April 2024. Maria and her husband Guy moved to Richmond to be closer to family. What a bonus for all Richmond girls to have them here! Travelers in the U.S. and around the world include Andy

Bennett, Tassie Bosher, Laura Brown, Melinda Davis, Lisa Wickham and, me, your correspondent, Holly Antrim. Andy spends a lot of her time with her children, Molly Bennett Moran ’99 and Kent, and their families on both coasts — Boston (Kent) and L.A.-area (Molly). Tassie and her daughter Martha, a senior nursing student at Duke University, visited Copenhagen this past December. Laura and Charles Brown enjoyed a Viking cruise on the Danube this past fall. Melinda recently returned from a Viking cruise around South America, visiting Cape Horn, Santiago, and Buenos Aires and its environs! Lisa has recently returned from London while sporting a short new hairdo looking like Jamie Lee Curtis and feeling great.

John Mason and I went to Munich, Germany, this past December where we explored the Christmas markets with our daughter, Ellie Antrim Rice, and her family. Rosette “Posy” Gault writes that in 2024 she presented at the MS&T 24 conference in Pittsburgh (call for advanced research!) on Eco-Friendly Paper Clay ceramics. Details on rosettegault.com .

She also shares, “In 2023, my earlier book was translated into Chinese. Anyone involved in sustainable material art and design and tech- please reach out!” She’s researching a new book - stay tuned! Lacy Williams hosted a Christmas lunch in mid-December for some of our classmates. Stay well and young at heart, cherish your friends and families and stay in touch. Love to all, Holly.

55th Reunion | May 2–3, 2025

We’ll start with news from our faithful former class correspondent Kristin Rehder, who has handed over the job to yours truly, Molly Sprouse. Kristin reports she’s looking forward to “having a little extra time for some sweet pursuits: perfecting my push shot in table tennis in time for the county games, mastering the art of poached pears, creating even more spring bounty in our raised-bed community garden, and finally learning about the Blues. We’ll also be planning this summer’s escapades on Lopez in the San Juan Islands.” Thank you Kristin also for being a fabulous correspondent for so many years. Debbie Andrews Dunlap is “adjusting to her 80% retirement from St. C as she continues to work one day a week.” Recent travels have included Vancouver with her daughter to see Taylor Swift, the Great Smokies, and the annual family beach trip.

Jeanne Johns Cassin is juggling visits to see her new grandbabies in New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Holt Erwin is having fun building her dream house in Morganton, N.C., on land her family has owned since 1780. She’s hoping to move in by spring and be closer to all nine great nieces and nephews. Mary Warren Montague Pinnell writes: “What was interesting to me was to make New Year’s

intentions instead of resolutions.” Mary Palmer Trice Legare had some interesting news from the Northern Neck of Virginia, where she and husband Andrew live with three rescue dogs. She is in her third year of a deep dive into Episcopal theology through the Education for Ministry program at Sewanee.

She’s retired from teaching but will be tutoring at the Boys and Girls Club soon. Her daughters, Eeremene and Bemene (and Bemene’s husband Steve), are close by. She’s still “singing, laughing and loving life!” Mimi Hill Wilk says “life is good in sunny Arizona, “and she’s looking forward to celebrating her oldest grandson George’s 11th birthday along with his brother Heath. Brantley Bolling Knowles reports she and Peter divide their time between Richmond and Palm Beach and are very involved with Historic Jamestowne and the Jamestowne Society. She’s proud to report she has two granddaughters at St. Catherine’s Carter Knowles in the 11th grade, and Dabney Knowles in the 7th grade. Mary Borden Currin and her husband Mac are loving their new life in Washington, N.C., where things are quiet, slow and relaxing.

They are looking forward to an upcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand. Tighe Easterly Antrim had great things to say about all the gatherings of classmates in the Richmond area.

This includes a book club started by Willis Lathrop O’Brien that draws in the likes of both

Mollys – Molly Moncure and Molly Sprouse – along with Mary Minor Satterfield Taylor, Edie McRee Bowles, Kathy Barger Conrad, Laura Funkhouser Ruml, Dotty Reynolds Brotherton, Bonnie Keyser Livick, Franklin Stone Wenk (when she’s in town) and Betsy Dennis. Speaking of Betsy, we’ve been seeing a lot more of her since she bought a home here and frequently visits from Seattle. The book club had the joy in January of reading our classmate Kate Horsley (Parker)’s book Magnificent Sorrow and discussing it with her via FaceTime. Tighe also led a small group on a fun outing to see Bliss Buford Abbot in Charlottesville. When she’s not cavorting with classmates, Tighe is either volunteering or hanging out with one of her nine grandchildren. Her husband Hugh, meanwhile, has been plotting father/daughter and father/son trips. Tighe also reported a fun visit with Jeanne Cassin in Frederick, Md., near where Tighe’s daughters, Mary Antrim Maddox ’95 and Betty Antrim Dansby ’99, live with their families. Since retiring last year from her fundraising career, Edie Bowles

stays busy volunteering for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and history nonprofits, fitting in Jazzercise and Tai Chi. She and husband Aaron loved their cruise on the Rhine. Peggy Spilman Crowley suggested we gather for coffee and a class picture, and then surprised us with a visit from Jean Wetzel Nance. Our chatty crowd of nine classmates pretty much took over the St. Stephen’s café.

Jean enjoys keeping up with “a child in L.A. and North Carolina and three grands.”

Speaking of get-togethers, Molly Moncure is planning a trip to Ireland this spring with her husband Charlie and Willis and Jim O’Brien.

Molly added: “I am truly cherishing the gift of sharing time with my St. Catherine’s friends at this later stage of life. There is a depth and a history to our friendships, which is one of the most extraordinary gifts in my life.”

And on that beautiful note, I’ll close with my comment that since moving back to Richmond in 2020 after 23 years in McLean,Va., the highlight has been hanging out with my St. Cat’s classmates and their families.

Otherwise, I stay busy most days in my craft loft making comfort items for nursing homes and hospitals, going out to lunch every day with my semi-retired husband Jim, and just enjoying the blessings of every day.

As we age, more of us are dealing with health challenges for ourselves and our mates. In our class notes we will report on a few cases of cancer affecting some of our members. To begin with, as of Thanksgiving Christine Kjellstrom Douglas was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophageal junction. In December, she went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where they performed scans and tests. Right after the holidays Christine started chemo back in Syracuse, N.Y. We all wish Christine well. When chemo permits, she enjoys visiting with her daughter, Edie, who is married to Doug Vitez and lives in Charleston, S.C. Rosamond Lawson continues to play bridge weekly with Elizabeth Small Lipscomb, both of whom also live in Charleston, S.C. Rosamond and Elizabeth went on a Viking river cruise together in October with their bridge group. Rosamond enjoyed a fall visit to Northern Virginia where Jane Catlett, Julie Gamble Grover, Anne Wilson Fafara and she saw a great impressionist exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. Rosamond is Basketball Mamie for her grandsons and continues to paint house and dog portraits. I, your correspondant, Julia Rodenbeck, can definitely recommend Rosamond! Rosamond painted a lovely portrait of my son Chris’ home on Daniel Island, S.C., which made an awesome Christmas present. Rosamond thoughtfully framed, wrapped and delivered it to Chris for me. Caroline Merritt Abbott and her husband Tim visited their daughters and their families in Wisconsin and Minnesota over the holidays. In Wisconsin they relaxed with Rachel and Casy and enjoyed watching their grandchildren, Ione and Azura, play. In Minnesota, they relaxed with Hannah and Michael while granddaughter Mariah melted Caroline’s heart every time she brought Caroline a book saying “Grandma, read.” Caroline reports life is difficult as her husband Tim is still battling cancer, continuing treatments at Blue Ridge Cancer Care, as well as physical therapy twice weekly. Please keep Caroline and Tim in your prayers. Although they keep a small apartment in Richmond so they can visit relatives and friends there, Julie Johns Saunders lives with her husband Bill in Salisbury, N.C. They are renovating Bill’s parents’ 1965 house in Salisbury with a plan to sell it. They have much to do and appreciate your prayers! They spent Christmas in Richmond with family and friends, and in Parkton, Md., with their daughter Linda, her husband

Brendan, and their grandchildren Alexander, Kaylin and Erin. Linda is a court reporter in the Washington /Baltimore area and Brendan installs flooring and renovations. Grandson Alexander manages a huge warehouse, granddaughter Kaylin is a manager at a spice company, and Aaron loves her work as an OB/ GYN nurse at Baltimore Hospital where she works 12 hour days so she can have the other days off during the week. Julie sends her love to all of our classmates!

Sally Williams Wittkofski, and her husband Mark have been traveling and ended 2024 with a trip to England. They started off staying with friends in Oxford and ended staying with them in their London flat. Their friend was the organist at Sally’s and Mark’s wedding and is the retired Betts Fellow in Organ Studies at the University of Oxford. Her husband is the former Vice Chancellor of Oxford and current Provost of Imperial College London.

In between, Sally and Mark ventured to Bath, where the Crescent has been on Sally’s bucket list forever, and the Circus, which she thought was a better architectural feature, stole her heart. Salisbury was their next stop with a side trip to Stonehenge. They began 2025 with an extraordinaire New Year’s gathering at the home of her cousin Maria Harrison Reuge ’69 and husband Guy, which several other St. Catherine’s alumnae also attended. Maria’s husband Guy is a “Maîtres Cuisiniers de France” and Sally says Richmond is so lucky to have him! . Elizabeth Watkins Carson and her husband recently moved from their 100-year-old home in Amelia County, V.A., to their new home in Hendersonville, N.C. They have been enjoying their first snow there and the beautiful western NC mountains. While their main direct route into town was damaged by the hurricane, fortunately their new house was unaffected. Genie Mason Guthrie married her college sweetheart Giles while both attended Emory University and they have lived in the metro-Atlanta area ever since where they raised their two daughters, Brooke and Heather, and now enjoy spending lots of time with their two grandchildren, Hannah 12 and Holden 10. Genie also loves watching the many diverse birds that flock to her backyard, where Genie has created a bird sanctuary, providing food, water, shelter and a place for the birds to raise their young. As for me, similar to Caroline Abbott and Christine Douglas mentioned above, cancer continues to dominate my life as my husband Bill battles Plasma Cell Leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer so rare that only about 1,000 cases exist in the US. On a happier note, I was able to check off a bucket list item this fall when we saw Johnny Mathis in concert. Johnny was so wonderful

that we later flew to California just to see him again for his truly magnificent Christmas concert. We were also fortunate to visit Kauai, Hawaii, last summer with most of our children and grandchildren (13 of us). We all flew out together and stayed at the fabulous Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and it was a great trip. Bill and I also visited Yosemite, Sequoia and Death Valley and like Caroline, we are figuring out the new National Parks in December.

However during both trips, Bill, who is immunocompromised from chemo, contracted an infection and had to be hospitalized for a

week mid-trip. So we have realized, contrary to his oncologists’ encouragement, travel is probably no longer a viable option. Our former life no longer exists normal. Fortunately our daughter Dorothy and her husband moved to theAtlanta area and are close by. Dorothy is adermatologist and Laviel is a spine surgeon, and they are very helpful to us navigating the cancer issues. Our son Andy and his family also live nearby. Andy is in his final semester of law school and will go to work at his older brother Chris’ law firm on Daniel Island in Charleston, S.C. We are very proud and excited for him. Bill and I are blessed with seven grandchildren and spend lots of our time with them.

Greetings, beloved classmates! News from Belle Long: “My son and his wife, Charles and Hannah Edwards, had a baby on November 8, 2024, who is named Eleanor “Nora” Louise Edwards.

She is the delight of my life!”

Congratulations Belle! Anna Leake Smith writes, “I have FINALLY retired after 42 years at M&T Bank. My retirement sendoff was at M&T Bank stadium in the Ravens locker room with my name on the jumbotron. As a parting gift I had the opportunity to conduct the Ravens marching band - such a thrill! I am slowly getting used to retirement but it’s hard to find the rhythm of the day after being so busy for so many years.

I continue to serve on a number of non-profit boards, such as the National Aquarium Foundation and Stevenson University and I am co-chairing a capital campaign for Irvine Nature Center. My husband Beetle is still working - ‘for better or worse, but not for lunch’, but we have been able to fit in a few fun trips. I get to Richmond more often now that I have two grandsons there - an almost 2-year-old and a 2-month-old. I recently had coffee with Carroll Blair Keiger and Molly Gayle Meem ’73 and a nice walk with Allison Parrish Koschak.” Congratulations to Anna

as well! Margy Priddy is enjoying retirement back home in the Northern Neck. She keeps busy with volunteer work at the local free health clinic, as a docent at Historic Christ Church, as a cantor and choir member at St. Francis de Sales parish, as well as trips to Virginia Beach to visit her daughter’s family and care for the “grands.” She’d love to see any of you who visit the area! Holly Eason Holden shares, “Serving on the Board of the Salvation Army of Palm Beach has kept me busy planning events along with introducing a new line of silk clothes for Holly Holden Collection with Gramercy Atelier in NYC. It’s been a delight designing a new HH casual dress collection with Jude Connally, which will debut this spring. I’m so excited- lots of pink designed fabrics! Visiting my daughter and her four children in Berlin, Germany, in January was, as always, very joyful… even though it’s always cold and gray in the winter months. No wonder they like to visit us here for the Palm Beach sunny skies. Hope to see you if you come to visit Palm Beach!”

Your correspondent, Jane Blanton Stout, will be retiring for the second time this spring. I need to retire to fit in all the trips around the mid-Atlantic for my volunteer position with the Rotary Leadership Institute, as well as fun trips with Craig and as much time as possible with the kids and grands! Much love to all!

There is not too much to report from the Class of 1973! From Sheree Crew Pyfrom: She and her husband still live in the Bahamas but spend a few months of the year in Pennsylvania to be close to their kids. From Lisa Stein Woodruff: “As I write this in February, we just returned from two weeks in Cabo San Lucas. Always try to get away during the cold winter months! Enjoyed some fishing, golfing and pool time! Our granddaughter is almost 8-months-old now, so we enjoy seeing her when we can!” I, your correspondent, Mimi Sadler, assume that no news is good news and that everyone is enjoying life – family, grandkids, activities, retirement! I’m happy to report that I’ve been working with Amie Rennolds ’75 on two shows at the Branch Museum of Design (where Bucci Rennolds Zeugner ’77 serves on the board). Amie and I have spent the past few months developing an exhibit illustrating the genius of landscape architect Charles Gillette. If you’re in Richmond please check it out before the end of June!

Alice Washington says, “I continue to visit Richmond regularly to spend time with my 93-year-old father. I always intend to plan get-togethers with classmates but haven’t been completely successful. My only other plans for this year are a short trip to Vancouver in April to spend a long weekend with friends and two weeks in Maubec, France (Provence), in May to help a friend celebrate a milestone birthday. Please call if you’re in Atlanta.” Homes Hogue writes, “Just returned from fantastic adventures to Easter Island, Antarctica, and Patagonia. Easter Island has the Moai, the head statues carved from stone by the early inhabitants. There is an excellent book written on them called The Statues that Walked written by anthropologists. Antarctica was amazing… tons of penguins (Chinstrap and Gentoo), seals, whales, snow, and ice. Patagonia was just beautiful to see, especially the glaciers! Next stops this year are the Caribbean, Scotland, Iceland, Greece, and Canary Islands. I have one more continent to reach and hope to get there in 2027 at the latest! Cheers!” Jackie Harrison Mason wants to thank the many of you who so kindly sent cards to her and her husband Hatley when he underwent open-heart surgery back in July. She is happy to report “that his “long-haul recovery” continues to go very well. She enjoyed appearing in Ampersand’s fall production of The Sound of Music as one of the singing nuns!

She notes, “What fun performing with former students and colleagues while also discovering some of the impressive backstage features of our new Love Jennison Family Theatre -- an amazing performance facility!” And Jackie particularly loves her role on the Advisory Board of Conflux Dance Theater, supporting this new and well-worth-seeing contemporary Homes Hogue ’74 in Antarctica. dance company in Richmond.

Sarah Turnbull Jones says, “It’s been pretty quiet here in Star, Idaho, over the holidays. Our big news was celebrating the birth of our first grandson on January 7! This also happened to be my Dad’s birthday, after whom he is named. We are looking forward to visiting Oklahoma in early March to meet baby Walton and visit with our granddaughter Eleanor (age 2).” Julie Shorter Plumbley writes, “On our way back to Staunton today from two nights, in Richmond we had the pleasure of getting together with Jackie and Hatley Mason for brunch at their house in Manakin. We had a delightful time together and are looking forward to our next get-together.”

reunion. “I’ve been living in Cambodia since 2019. Started out in Siem Reap where I rode out COVID before moving to Phnom Penh. Ran the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia; now I run a program (Institute of Directors) which trains business leaders on international standards of good corporate governance and develops future executives… super interesting! I live in an apartment that is all Cambodian residents except for me - and one French guy. Son Oliver visited over the holidays. Lots of New Year celebrations here until April: International, Chinese and finally, Khmer (four days of water fights and tossing of baby powder!) If you’re headed to Southeast Asia, give me a shout!” Amy Rieckert McNally checked in to note that since retirement she has moved from Ohio to the eastern shore of Maryland. Look for photos in the 50th Reunion Quair of her daughter Honor, son Andrew and her “most recent and awesome rescue dog Sammy.” Gigi Rawles Miller keeps busy with her five (!)

grandchildren, two puppies and a traveling husband.

“My husband has been working for the Commonwealth of Virginia since January 2022. I’ve seen him only on weekends for three years. He retires January 2026; we can hardly wait! I stay in close touch with Honey Trigg Sachs, Alice Trice Szumski, and Martha Bedinger Holt and get to Richmond when I am able. Made the mistake of getting not one but two Gordon Setter pups this summer. How hard could it be to train two dogs? I feel like I have toddlers all over again, only worse.” Jan Bracken Wright was recently elected Chair of the Board of the Atlanta Humane Society, after serving on the Board for 14 years. She writes that “the mission of the AHS is to improve animal welfare in the southeastern United States by providing quality animal services, including preventative initiatives, education, advocacy, disaster response, cruelty investigation, and adoption of animals into permanent loving homes.” Jan considers her election the “honor of her lifetime.”

Congratulations Jan; AHS is in highly capable and compassionate hands!

Several local classmates note they appreciate getting together periodically and that the St. C Arts and Innovation Center, Endeavour Hall, has provided a new venue for connecting. Katherine Whitney writes, “My life remains full of work and horses. I’m grateful for being included in the fun periodic dinners and Ampersand plays with our Richmond alums. I’ve also seen Laura Wickstead, Elizabeth Ellett Burgoyne and Joyce Thompson when they’ve been through town. It’s so good to reconnect with them. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of our class at the Reunion.” Evie Haw Wilton notes, “I had such a happy time at Judy Carpenter Hawthorne’s Sound of Music pre-theater gathering! We survived the walk with torrential downpours, then got caught up in the amazing performance. All of the gang had wet shoes, but had a ton of fun. Looking forward to May 2025.” Our energetic class ambassador, Judy Hawthorne, appreciates that Amie Rennolds’s home “has become a salon where classmates come for good company, lovely thoughtful table settings, and delicious food. Amie’s a great hostess, moving us through cocktails to dinner and home at a reasonable hour. The most recent evening was made more magical by an unexpected dusting of snow! Stepping outside, Church Hill looked like a Victorian scene. I have been consumed with Reunion; it’s going to be marvelous.”

Travel -- for adventure, leisure and work -- remains a pursuit of our classmates.

Susan Chitwood, roughing it on Grand Bahama island for the past 10 years, “looks forward to a trip in March to Santiago, Chile, and the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina.” We look forward to hearing about this in May! Virginia Christian Beach and her husband Dana “recently returned from a month in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.

I’ve been commissioned to write a book about the parks and trail networks created in North and South America by Butler Parklands - the foundation that Dana works for. This will be my fifth book; I’m grateful to my husband and children for their support when I take the deep dive into a book project.

Daughter Nellie and son Francis both live and work in NYC and enjoy coming home to Lowcountry, South Carolina, when they can. We’re thrilled to have cousin Caroline Rennolds Milbank ’73 living in Charleston now with her husband, Jerry. Looking forward to our 50th reunion in May!” Molly Fowler writes, “Greetings from the land of snow on palm trees and the Super Bowl. I just finished a six-year case up in Natchitoches, La., and missed the rare 10-inch snowfall here in New Orleans. I’m continuing my criminal legal work with children; it remains grueling but hugely satisfying. I’m taking time off to produce a film for Viola Davis in Africa, which means I’ll miss the Reunion. Last month I cleaned out a long-neglected storage unit and found

a kilt I wore in 10th grade. It fits! I’m tempted to buy a pair of Papagallos and don the outfit as an homage to our 50th.” Send us a pic, Molly. Dare you to wear it in Africa. Laura Wickstead is undertaking a bold new chapter. “After a life in the east, I have moved to southern Oregon. When asked why… it’s my grandchildren. However, in September I’ll be giving them goodbye hugs and I’m off to be a Peace Corps Volunteer. I’ll be serving in North Macedonia for 27 months as a Community Development Promoter.”

Good luck and Godspeed to you, Laura. Catherine Dunford shared that she is “on the board of the Mount Holyoke Club of Northern California.” Martha Bedinger Holt’s headlines: “two hip replacements in seven months (they are awesome!); six weeks traveling out west by RV last fall; a January 2025 trip to St. Lucia; Concerts and music festivals (e.g.: Red Wing Roots Festival in Natural Chimneys, Va...a new adventure for us); More trips - currently to Iceland and Norway; Trying to dovetail this with running my plant nursery; I LOVE retirement: time for all this, plus slow mornings of coffee and reading; Serving on the reunion committee and looking forward to a well-attended 50th!” Constance Chappell Horne writes, “Retired March 2024 as a technology systems developer from the Department of Information Technology at the City of Richmond after 23 years.

I went back to work there part-time (same work, different title) in June 2024. Spent over 42 years in information technology with various firms in the general Richmond area.” Peel Hawthorne notes that she is “still adjusting to retirement, without the fast pace and structure of work; it’s a slow lesson in self-discipline. We’re happily living in Williamsburg; I enjoy watching W&M Sports without an iota of

The biggest news is that our 50th reunion is right around the corner!! April 1718, 2026—mark your calendars. Lisa Johnson Bondurant has been busy with her husband Stuart with two more weddings (all four children are now married) and two more grandchildren (for a current total of five). Her children live literally all over the country, from San Fran, to Rochester, Minn., to Raleigh, N.C., and Atlanta, so they travel! They experienced firsthand how a resilient Asheville, N.C., community managed a horrific storm. The wonderful thoughts and comments from St. Catherine’s to the Asheville alumnae base were so welcome. Lisa is looking forward to seeing everyone in April 2026 at our 50th Reunion! Liz Harvard is continuing her work for St. Catherine’s and hopes many classmates will not only attend but also volunteer to help with our 50th Reunion. She recently joined the Shrine Mont board, a retreat center of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, located in the mountains, where she and her daughter have spent time as guests, a camper and camp counselor.

Liz, Hannah Harvard ’22, Liz’s sister- in-law, Katie McFarland Harvard ’74 and Liz’s niece Katharine celebrated Hannah’s 21st birthday in NYC, where two highlights were having breakfast at Tiffany’s and

seeing the musical, Moulin Rouge. She has a new kitten, Lucky, who followed very quickly on the heels of Cookie’s passing last summer. Liz is playing Mahjong when time permits. Ginny Williams Poole still loves living in the peaceful horse community of Rodes Farm in Wintergreen where she enjoys walking a rather plump mini-horse named Tootsie.

Their old caretaker’s home is just steps away from the community pickleball/ tennis court. She was warmly welcomed to an ever-growing group of pickleball players right when she moved there five years ago! After about a year off, getting a couple of new joints, she is back with friends playing a few times a week and loving it! They recently adopted a roughly 6-year-old beagle-dachshund mix named Petey, often called “Petey Pistol” as he is quite active and sneaky.

Their second grandchild will be arriving in March.

Chris Stoner-Mertz has been CEO for the California Alliance of Child and Family Services for the past six years, a statewide policy and advocacy organization for nonprofit human services organizations. She is getting ready to “downshift” into consulting work in July 2025, and spend more time with her new granddaughter (born January 25), surfing, biking, adventuring, and playing music while still staying engaged in meaningful work both in her

state and nationally.

Tinsley Place Lockhart has taken up a daily hour walk as a healthy lifestyle measure. She has some lovely walk pictures on her Instagram (@tinsleylockh. art). She and her husband John (who live in Scotland) don’t even have a car, but use a rental initiative called the City Car Club. As the years advance, she is so glad to live where there’s safe public transport. She is semi-retired as of July 2024, having been paid off as part of a large restructuring at Lloyds Banking Group where she was in fund management risk and compliance oversight. She is still a lawyer - just! - but is getting way too used to a more relaxed lifestyle. She has joined the Scottish Society of Artists and exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in November!! WOW! Her son Beauregard

lives in Dubai, UAE. He has two children -- daughter Elodie, age 6, and son Ferdie, born in August. Her daughter Esmeralda is due to have her first child any day now (as of this writing). Susan Goodale is close to retirement from primary care pediatrics and can’t wait!! She and her husband, Chris (with son Nat) have become beekeepers which has been great fun and has yielded lots of honey! She also qualified and competed in the CrossFit Games in Birmingham, Ala., as one of the top 20 women 65+ in the world. The best part of the experience was the amazing women from all over the world who were so supportive and encouraging.

So many hugs and cheers...such a positive, competitive environment!

Anne Horne Dooley writes that her oldest daughter, Anne Howard Wright, welcomed Anne’s first grandchild, Thomas Wheeler Wright, into the family on May 29, 2024. Anne’s second daughter Elizabeth is expecting a baby on May 30, 2025 - their birthdays could end up on the same day! Morgan McEachern Falk reports that her husband Jim died suddenly in the spring of 2023, and widowhood has been quite the interesting journey. She goes on to say she is blessed with many close friends in Charleston, S.C., who have never let go of her hand. Her son Simmons (age 37) from Louisville travels around the country as the program manager and setup coordinator for Broadway shows like Hamilton, Beautiful, and others. Her son Perry (age 35), based in Atlanta, received a graduate degree from MIT in logistics last year, and is working with a new software company that focuses on shipping brokerage. Her son Carter (age 26) is in Manhattan working in commercial real estate banking. They have been so strong and supportive over the last two years. She also has a 3-year-old granddaughter Porter who looks a “bit” like Morgan, (apparently acts like her too!) Porter’s baby brother Banks is due in May. In addition, Morgan has a grandson George who is almost 2-years-old and is learning his shapes and colors. Morgan adores being “Mum Mum.” Morgan says she occasionally sees and keeps in touch with Paige Lane Smith, Elizabeth McMillan Hagood, and Penn Lilly Hagood ’80. She is still creating bespoke children’s clothing but is also exploring what she wants to be “when she grows up!”

After three years in the desert and tourist town of Palm Springs, Calif., I, Heather Spiess, have decided it’s time to come home. Bruce and I made the decision after a quick October visit to Richmond on our way to Spain.

Richmond is where we belong. Bruce considers himself a bit of a carpetbagger and can make anywhere home. But after 47 years in Richmond, I really felt a longing to come back. We were able to sell our Palm Springs home in five days and found a beautiful home in Goochland County, all within a few weeks.

By the time this issue is published we should be happily settled back in Virginia.

Mayhood 45th Reunion | May 2–3, 2025

Many thanks to those of you who responded to my pleas for news. Constance Cardozo Costas writes: “My daughter Eliza Costas Furr ’13 married John Owen ‘Jack’ Furr of Norfolk on June 8, 2024. I knew Jack’s parents at UVA, so we’re all pleased as punch to now be family.

The newlyweds live in NYC and will depart for an 18-month work stint in London in the fall. On the home front, I’m fortunate to have Toddy Barnard Trigg ’51 and Susan Trigg ’79 as friends and neighbors, and I see Ruthie Hill Klinck and Martha Spratley Pellington whenever they turn up in Richmond. It’s been a busy year of book editing. Just out: Wild Side

by James Bell, a novel set in New York’s disco era; Hearts by Rozanne Worrell, and Gloucester Banks 100th Anniversary.

Coming next, a sequel to Mothering Addiction

by Lynda Hatcher.” I also heard from Liz Edgerton Summers, the assistant director of finance and operations at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School in Columbia, S.C. She writes that her son Robert and his wife Shauna are expecting a baby girl in early May. “We are so happy for them and for us!” says Liz. “This will be our first grandchild, and unfortunately due to the timing I will not make it to the Reunion.

But I will miss you all and know it will be a great time!” Liz corresponds with Susan Martin Mitchell, who travels frequently to South Carolina for work,and hopes they will connect in person soon. In the depths of winter, Agnes Frazier Richard and I, your correspondent Madeline Mayhood, along with our husbands, jetted out to Montana to spend an absolutely incredible weekend with Tolly Will Tate and her beau, Steve Talley, in Big Sky. We were entertained royally—between the decadent luxury at the Yellowstone Club, rocking out at a private Earth Wind & Fire concert, and an incredible snowcat tour of Yellowstone National Park. All of it in way below zero temperatures and tons of snow, but between the off-the-chart hospitality, stunning scenery, and spending time with great friends, it was a weekend that we’ll never forget. Riveting news comes from Frances Taylor that I’m including verbatim, because it’s that compelling. “I had a life-changing triple bypass in March 2022.

It came out of nowhere and was discovered during a routine cardiac calcium score test.

YES! Every one of you should have one—easy, cheap, and lifesaving. It should be put up there with mammograms and colonoscopies, but the good thing is it’s one and done. Since then, I have had continuous problems, so things are somewhat stable but not great. Last year I decided I had been waiting to travel until I had good health and found a partner to go with me.

Since neither appeared, I booked an Aroundthe-world trip on a jet with 18 strangers—scary and exciting. In May, I left for a month-long adventure that was absolutely incredible, and I learned that I love traveling solo as long as someone is in charge. I never knew what the day was going to bring. We woke up and were told what time to be ready. We spent about 3-4 nights in each location, and as we flew there, we were able to choose the activities we wanted to do when we arrived. I loved every second of every day and didn’t want it to end.

My favorite place was Jordan. It is such a crazy environment—it looks like what I’d expect Mars to be. The people are the kindest and friendliest I have encountered, and the food is off the charts. They have lived in a world surrounded by war and uncertainty and yet have stayed neutral. Simply amazing. In September I went to Italy for a bike trip in Tuscany. Once again, I made a dozen new friends and had an incredible time. I looked for “my man” as I rode around the Tuscan countryside—think Under the Tuscan Sun. In November I took my kids and their significant others to the Galapagos.

Another amazing adventure. The Ecuadorian people are so welcoming, and the food was great. We ended our two weeks in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Two hours down the river in a boat where we met some guys in canoes that took us and our luggage 30 minutes deep into the jungle. Being totally unplugged with your kids is just the best!! I had the pleasure of being on a committee to interview the final four candidates for the new St. C Athletic Director.

The group was full of amazing women that all played sports in college, coached on multiple levels, and were St. C graduates from 1975-2009. Let me just say that being on Zoom with 30-year-olds will make you feel old and wrinkled in a hot minute.” Keep the news coming!

Thanks to so many classmates, especially those whom we haven’t heard from in a while, for writing in with news! Jenny Clower Siegenthaler is still working part-time in the preschool at Highland Presbyterian Church in Louisville, Ky. She sees Jen Cox Evans when Jen’s in town! Jenny and her husband Craig we’re planning a cruise to southern Spain, Algiers and Morocco in February 2025. Their younger daughter is graduating from college with a degree in industrial design in May 2025, and their older daughter will finish grad school in film production. Sarah Gibson Wiley is loving her second career in textile art. In April 2025, she will be juried into the Smithsonian Craft Show.

She is always on the lookout for opportunities to showcase her decorative and out-of-theordinary art, and has done some upscale trunk shows and book signings as a vendor. Carrie Reid Russell writes that she has achieved her U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license. She has

been ocean racing and offshore racing over the last 10 years with many regattas under her belt! She has also been helping with a sailboat charter in Nantucket, as well as providing ocean deliveries in the summers.

Professionally, she is approaching her 36th year as a certified hand therapist, working in a Level 1 trauma center (currently VCU Health).

She reports that it has been rewarding in every aspect. She has been to Ghana on a medical mission trip, as well as Honduras and Guatemala in the past, honing skills and sharing information with others. She is considering a tour of duty on the Mercy Ships when she retires. Carrie’s husband Ames has worked very hard to develop a successful culinary product, AR’s Hot Southern Honey.

Their daughter Helen was married in October 2024. Laura Rogers writes that after graduating from WVU in 1986, she lived in Atlanta for 10 years, then moved back to Richmond when she was accepted into VCU’s grad school. She worked at Tucker Pavilion and “7 West” at St. Mary’s until 2004, when she moved to the OBX and later Greenville, N.C.

Laura is currently working to help connect people with jobs and describes her long-term career path as practicing the STC motto. Susan Crenshaw Cary reports that since retiring from teaching, she has been enjoying life as a full-time artist. She is showing her work in Richmond and throughout Virginia. She has also been involved with a nonprofit gallery in Richmond called Artspace. The gallery has new exhibitions every month showcasing artists from all around the country. She says it’s been interesting to learn what it takes to put on an art show and what running a nonprofit, volunteer-run gallery is all about. Ginna Priddy writes that last year she celebrated 30 years at Bank of America, and one of the benefits was that she was able to enjoy a six-week sabbatical. It was “absolutely marvelous!” The first three weeks she spent decompressing and relaxing. The fourth week she went on a Maine Windjammer cruise with Margy Priddy ’72 and Trish Priddy Burrus ’79.

The last two weeks were spent doing whatever came to mind, some of which were

1982

half day trips on her Indian motorcycle.

Cecelia Faulkner Soscia feels like she is fighting inevitable height shrinkage and relentless recent asthma, but she knows that “Life is Good!” She does not see any more ultras or marathons on her list, but she still loves trail running, skiing, teaching skiing, gardening and beach living -- activities she enjoys outside of working full-time in an early intervention program. Cecelia’s son Gavin (age 26), lives in Boston and continues to stretch and push his limits – professionally, at Amazon, and personally, qualifying for the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France in Sept. 2025.

Her daughter Marta (age 23) is following her passion for ranch and stable management; she has lived in Wyoming and Vermont, and will soon move to Montana to fulfill her dream as a full-time cowgirl on a ranch. Cecelia sees some incredible travel in the future! Your class correspondent, Julia Michael Given, has been busy finishing up her quest to run a marathon in each of the 50 states. Mission accomplished in August 2024 in Anchorage, Alaska. Many friends and family came along as well, with most of everyone doing the half marathon and providing a great cheering section at the finish line!

Jayne Honey Chapman reports that after 15 years as head coach, she just started her final season of coaching the Plant High School Varsity Girls Lacrosse team in Tampa, Fla. They were Florida State runners-up in 2024, so they will push to win States this year. With an eye toward retirement, they sold their house in Tampa in 2023, rented a place through this school year, and bought a house in the mountains of Brevard, N.C. She had her left knee partially replaced on September 17 and hunkered down in their Tampa house when Hurricane Helene roared through nine days later. They packed up and evacuated to Brevard before Milton came through on October 9. It was not a fun fall! Thankfully, everything — except food in refrigerators and freezers in two states — came through the storms okay. It’s ironic that they chose to buy in Western North Carolina to avoid hurricanes, only to experience Helene, which was estimated to be at least a 100-year flood event for the region. However, given its rarity, they should be relatively safe from similar events in the future. They will be living full-time in NC starting in June if anyone finds themselves in the area. You’ll find Jayne on the golf course, the pickleball court, or helping with one of the local lacrosse programs. Jayne says, “Come visit!”

Laura Jones Ghivizzani is retired and living living full-time in Breckenridge, Colo. She loves the

25

year-round outdoor playground! Betsy Macon Dotterer’s daughter, Townsend Dotterer ’19, joined the Peace Corps in January and will be living in Nepal for two years working in food sustainability. She notes, “If anyone is headed to Nepal, I’m sure Townsend would love to hear from you”. Betsy’s other daughter, Sara Dotterer ’14, lives in Brooklyn and works in brand strategy. Betsy has been a realtor in Richmond for 25 years and works for The Steele Group Sotheby’s International Realty. Betsy recently went on a trip to Antarctica with her mom, Sara Riley Gibson ’61, where they saw thousands of penguins! As for me, your correspondent Laura Waddell Deal, I am working downtown at VCU Medical Center as a registered nurse in their surgery center.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in! As always, our classmates have some pretty amazing things going on. Julie Konerding Padgett continues her global journey as an Ironman Champ! She recently completed the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Taupo, New Zealand.

Congratulations, Julie! Lyle Hull Davis is still in Memphis running her private practice while teaching a few grad classes. She sees Mary Katherine Owen ’89 and Brooks Turley Klepper ’89 all the time. She is looking forward to an empty nest, with her oldest—a William & Mary graduate—now living in Boston, her middle child thriving as a third-year student at UVA, and her high school senior preparing to head to Washington & Lee to play lacrosse in the fall. Lyle is excited for more trips to Virginia soon and recently enjoyed catching up with Sudie Croft Pasco and her husband Jesse on a visit. Caroline Fogel Ellis writes, “Things stay pretty busy around here. We moved our older son to Paris to start grad school. Our younger son is a junior in high school and is enjoying his ‘clinical rotations’ at the big hospital as part of his healthcare academy at school. As for me, I have enjoyed getting into local Texas distilleries as a volunteer bottler.”

Caroline, you must tell us more! In July 2024, Sallie Smith Sweeney joined 9th Way Insignia as the Executive Vice President of Cybersecurity, after serving at Leidos as their Health and Civil Cybersecurity Lead.

Sallie’s twin daughters, Jarrett and Flynn (age 17), are in their second semester of senior year in high school. Bill and Sallie are wrapping their heads around being empty nesters (!), when both girls head to college this fall. Ann Lassotovitch Flaherty continues to be a solo empty nester, splitting her time between her beach house and

Colorado home, sailing as much as possible. She wrote: “Check out the new book that just got published: Hero Redefined by Doug Levy. Chapter 5 is about our family.” Missy Rainey Ferguson and Parker Spratley Jones climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2025!! What an accomplishment! Rosy Lokhorst shared, “I recently moved from Switzerland to California. I’ve run my own studio for virtual production and mixed reality, making digital twins of live events. Meaning, we copy an event, like a powerboat race, or car race series live as it happens into a gaming world, and then people can join the fun and race their boat against the famous teams. We are growing rapidly and I get to travel to some amazing locations. Privately I am in a happy relationship and I have a 4-year old puppy that travels (almost) everywhere with me.” Jennifer Marxen Phillips, Tanner Gibson Neibert, Parker Jones, Missy Ferguson, Francine Brown Sundin and Caroline Wallace Delaney traveled to Mexico in September to celebrate the marriage of Lee Addison Woodard to Mike Woodard! Ferebee Holt Smith and Amy Bowmer Baker traveled to NYC with their daughters, Millicent Smith (grade 9) and Eliza Baker, in early January for a mini-reunion and to celebrate Ferebee’s birthday. Amy and her family recently moved from Richmond to Winston-Salem. Lydia Baugh Hanna writes, “We are enjoying Charlotte with kids in 9th and 11th grades. I had so much fun on a quick trip out to California last summer with Molly Dozier McDowell to visit Vicky Arcos ’92 and Katherine Moseley ’91.” And finally, while Natalie DuBose Langley and her husband, Stewart, are enjoying the empty nest, they love visiting their kids and cheering for the Gamecocks and Dawgs.

Greetings and salutations to the Best Class at St. Catherine’s! Life has certainly been busy, hasn’t it? It’s so exciting to hear that we have some bona fide St. Catherine’s seniors this year, including Laura Edge Kottkamp’s daughter Alice Kottkamp and Sara Desvernine Reed’s daughter Amelia Reed. Laura mentions that she gets to see Tanner Smith Pilcher and Alison Monroe Martin when possible, but with the juggle of teens and middle schoolers and work, that means “mostly never.” A lucky day for Laura includes seeing Leslie Butrico Waff after carpool. In addition, Jenni Royster Boyd’s daughter Finley Boyd (grade 11) was on the field hockey team with Alice Kotkamp, so Jenni and Laura got to reconnect. Laura visited Northern Ireland with Andrea Fisher Erda in August before Andrea got her oldest off to Middlebury. Travel plans will continue for Laura and her son over Spring Break when they travel with Sara Jenkins Valentine and her sons to Greece! Molly Gillespie Gibney of Boulder, Colo., also has fun Spring Break plans – she is checking out colleges in California with her daughter Ella, a junior. Repping the class from Palm Beach, Fla., is Helen Hoppe.

Helen wins the prize for Most Enviable Frequent Flyer Miles: “My life has been super

fun this year,” writes Helen, “as I’ve stopped working and started traveling and playing golf, with a new man in my life. We recently traveled to Japan to play seven golf courses there with plans to soon travel to the Dolomites in Italy and Banff, Canada for ski season.” We are thrilled to hear about your new adventures Helen and we wish you lots of continued happiness! Bianca Shelton Romano describes life recently as a whirlwind – her family traveled to Europe last summer for an unforgettable experience: five Euro Cup games!

“Our youngest Carlo is deep into soccer, and our oldest Jon-Luc is navigating boarding school and his first year playing football.”

Bianca continues to enjoy her career in the biotech world as a specialist in rare diseases.

She and her husband will be an empty nesters next year when Carlo joins his older brother at boarding school. Meanwhile, Tempie Wafle Morrison shares that things are great in Charleston, S.C. She works as a Director of Graduate Medical Education at HCA Trident Health. “I have five girls who are growing up way too fast and keeping me wonderfully busy,” she says. To the west of us in Phoenix, Kris Melzig McLaughlin shares this “not earth-shattering” update: “I am still happily selling homes in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Both of our boys are in high school which is a blast! We found a leak in our kitchen faucet and contractors ripped out our kitchen two days before Christmas, so now we are renovating. My parents are here for the winter which is a dream and my sister Heather Melzig Wilson ’94 is here with her family.” Lanier Coles has been the Hostess with the Mostess lately.

“In January, I hosted a party for 50 St. Catherine’s and St. Chris alums at my home in San Francisco.

Bianca Shelton Romano ’92 with her family at one of five Euro Cup games they Cindy Trask gave a great update were able to attend in Germany over the summer

on how St. C is thriving – including sharing the news that St. Cats adopted a nocell-phone policy for Upper School students during the day – I wish my kids’ school would adopt the same policy!”

Lanier deserves heartfelt congrats on celebrating her oneyear anniversary of getting elected to the Democratic County Central Committee in San Francisco, winning the election with 20,000 votes! Bonnie Martin Lochner describes this time in her life as bittersweet as she juggles teenagers and aging parents. “I lost my 93-year-old father in May – the same month that my son, John, graduated from Tulane and headed to NAS Pensacola to train as a navy officer to become an aviator. My daughter Caroline is a Boren Scholar studying Arabic for 12 months in Amman, Jordan. She connected with Maysam Ziadeh ’91 who lives there! I teach downhill skiing on weekends with my youngest daughter Rose, a sophomore, and I am a long-term substitute teacher for middle schoolers.” Closer to home, Emily Wallace

1993

shares that she is grateful for the quiet joy she has found putting down roots – literally and figuratively – in Goochland, where she enjoys taking in the peace of nature with her dog Frankie. She grows cut flowers to share with others and volunteers for the Virginia Master Naturalist Group as their Continuing Ed Chair.

As for your correspondent, Beth Cooper Lawing, I still enjoy teaching seventh-grade science at Charlotte Country Day. I am coaching a Science Olympiad Team and our event is “Potions and Poisons.” I’ve already promised my husband that he is not going to be profiled on Dateline despite my extensive computer searches involving arsenic, lead, mercury, bleach, black-widow spiders, and timber rattlesnakes – “It’s all for the kids, Hon!” I had the pleasure of taking Shon Wilson out on the town for her 50th Birthday in January.

Shon recently moved back to Charlotte, N.C., and is settling in nicely, teaching children’s theater. In addition, LisaPage Carter came to Charlotte for a January conference, and we got together for dinner. I am gearing up for my son Peter’s college graduation from the chemistry department at NC State in May, so blessings abound!

We were all saddened to receive the tragic news of the death of our classmate, Crandall Bayliss Thompson, who left us all too soon after an accident in January.

She is survived by her husband Justin; her three children, Will (St. Chris ’22), McKinley (grade 12) and Claiborne (grade 10); as well as her parents, Kitty Moss Bayliss ’66 and Bill Bayliss; her sister Tucker Bayliss Deal ’99, her husband, Wyatt and their daughters Delaney (grade 2) and Libby (JK); and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. To quote her obituary, “She dedicated her life and talents to her children, watching them play sports, especially tennis, and cheering them on as they advanced through the ranks.

She was immensely proud of all their accomplishments, always their number one fan, celebrating their highs, consoling them during their lows, and encouraging them to do their best no matter what. Crandall was fair, honest, and kind, and she was most proud to see these traits embodied in her children.” The Class of 1994 sends our love to Crandall’s family and we will miss her smiling face.

We have been planning the event and are all looking forward to spending the weekend with YOU! Longtime friends Marie Bouquet Ayers and Kelly Dalch Spraker spent many weekends this summer and fall traveling together, cheering on their sons, who are on the same travel lacrosse team. On a celebratory note, Jontille Fowler Ray has been awarded the 2024 RBA John C. Kenny Pro Bono Award for her outstanding commitment to pro bono work. Jontille maintains an active pro bono practice and serves as the co-chair of McGuireWoods’ Richmond office Pro Bono committee. Much of her work focuses on representing victims—often victims of domestic violence—in child custody and visitation matters. As Jontille once said, “You make time for what matters,” which perfectly encapsulates her dedication to pro bono work. I am sure the rest of you are saving all of your exciting news and updates to share in person at the Reunion!
