Dr. Patricia Griffin Emerson writes that she is having fun in her 83rd year by volunteering at Zoo Atlanta’s Petting Zoo and walking 5Ks. She loves the petting zoo because she’s up close to both the children and the animals, and she was even recognized as the most outstanding team member. In her first 5K, for the Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool, she won in her age group (80+) because she was the only one participating!
1957 “Westminster students leave here being able to think on their own thanks to real world and life experience…not everyone has that advantage. It is inspiring when we think about our friends from Westminster and the leaders they have become. Westminster is creating people who are able to pursue their dreams, whatever they may be. Including Westminster in our estate plans was vital in continuing and perpetuating our gratitude for the School.” – Billy ’88 and Julie Levine P ’20, ’22, ’25 Cornerstone Society members

Fran Milton Patterson and her husband, Tom, had a wonderful time at the birthday celebration for Ann Jernigan Chalmers ’60. The lovely party was held at the home of Ann’s older son, Alex, and his wife, Anna, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Alex is Fran’s godson, and Alex’s godfather is Parker Hudson ’65. Parker was a close friend of Ann’s late husband, Rives Chalmers ’65. Ann has recently moved back to Atlanta from California, where she and Rives raised their family. Fran is so happy to have her back!
