Take Note We will spend Thanksgiving in Philadelphia (brrrrrrrr) with Mario’s family (30+ counting just our generation and our kids) and my son, Sean and his girlfriend, and Kit will join us from Austin, TX. I’m sensing this will be a good one! To all of my classmates, please let me know if you are ever in the D.F. You always have a place to stay!” Larke Woods Wheeler mentioned that she and Ray just celebrated their 24th anniversary. Her daughter, Callan is a senior at Auburn University and is studying Interior Design. Her son, Walker, is a freshman at the University of Georgia and busy on the dive team. Last, but not least, her youngest, Josephine, is a sophomore in high school. She can’t believe she is one step closer to being an empty nester.

Lisa Bourget Frisbie: “Fun news! In
August, I was offered a position in the Development Office at Walker’s. It is nice to be back on campus and witness firsthand all of the fantastic things that are happening: new turf and athletic fields, new dormitory, talented teachers, and excited students. However, I struggle with trying to understand Wally, Walker’s wildcat mascot. We never had a Wally! Oh, well! When you don’t understand something, embrace it, and that is what I have done. Recently I have experienced being an ‘empty nester’ since both of my children are off on various adventures. My son is a junior at Trinity College, and he is enjoying life in Rome for the fall semester. While he is running around Europe, my daughter is spending the fall semester of her junior year in high school in Colorado at the High Mountain Institute (HMI). Although not for every student, HMI is an amazing program and I highly recommend it for any high school junior.”
