last year—we are now the only
ones left of our Magnificent
7 who used to gather yearly
at Bobbie’s Rockport cottage.”
Priscilla “Sis” Allen Walton
has had lunch often with
Jean Bryant Meyer and also
with Shirley Winchenbaugh
Raymond. She writes, “Sally
Jenkins Kimball lives in
Harwich, where she recently
downsized to a lovely condo.
She’s fortunate to have family
close by. Shirley and George have
built a brand new lovely house
near the water in Barnstable and
we manage, with our husbands,
to have lunch a couple of times
in the summer. In the winter
they moved into a retirement
village in Venice, FL, where their
daughter and grandson live.
Jean lives in Westwood and we
have lunch a number of times
a year, along with a gal I started
kindergarten with, and also Leah
Keever Cotton ’45. Now to my
family: My daughter lives in
Attleboro, MA, and is head of
the middle school math department
in Canton, MA. Number 2
child, Edward (Skip), lives in Ann
Arbor, MI, and is chairman of
pediatric medicine at Beaumont
Hospital in Royal Oak, MI. The
baby, Bruce, is a senior executive
at Accenture and lives in
Madison, CT, where, coincidently,
his wife grew up and went
through its schools. We have 7
grandchildren.”

Janet Phelon Lawton writes,
“This is the 1st year in 10 that
we haven’t gone to Myrtle Beach
for the winter. It was getting
harder and harder to pack up
everything for 5 months, as Tom
needs lots of extra handicap gear.
We are very proud of our 4 children,
their spouses, and 6 grandchildren.
So far 2 of our granddaughters
are married.” Virginia
“Ginny” Colpitts Bowers was
very disappointed not to have
been able to attend the 60th
Virginia Colpitts Bowers ’50 is pictured with her husband at his 80th
birthday party.
Three generations of Colby-Sawyer women: Virginia Colpitts Bowers ’50, Lee
Bowers Desai ’78 and Julie Morgan ’14.
Reunion at CSC last Oct. She fell
at her daughter’s (Lee Bowers
Desai ’78) home and was admitted
to the hospital after 10
staples were put in her head.
The doctors found no reason for
such a fall and she’s doing fine
now. She sends thanks to all who
signed Ann’s book. She and Buzz
spent the winter in Hilton Head,
SC. They have a granddaughter,
Julie Morgan ’14, at CSC now.
Barbara Bishop Maclean writes,
“Pat Hoffman, our previous
class correspondent, and I have
been in touch both before and
after her move to NC.” Pat let
Barbara know that Betty Alden
Parker had an accident on the
way home from Reunion; she
fell asleep and hit a tree. Betty
says that after a lengthy hospital
stay and then staying with her
daughter in Concord, NH, she’s
back in Mattapoisett and doing
fine. Barbara had hip replacement
surgery on Nov. 19 and
went right back into her exercise
routine. 3 months later, she
skied for 2 hours! She and Phil
continue their practice of going
to the gym or to walk/run at an
indoor raised track 3–4 days a
week. Patricia Davis Hoffman
writes, “Have moved to NC to
be near family. My son Brad,
daughter-in-law Lisa, and 4 of
my grandchildren are nearby.
Daughter Gretchen and her 2
sons are in CA. My 3 siblings and
cousins are in New England. I
continue to be very happy here
at the Pines at Davidson.”
