9 years, where a Centennial is
planned for 2012. I am helping
the historical society by doing
interviews and transcribing tapes
of oral histories from people who
have been active in the community.”
Congratulations, Jane,
on receiving a Heart of Hospice
Award for assisting at your local
hospice. She is also a member of
a women’s book club and garden/arts
club. Wyomissing, PA,
is where we find Barbara Frank
Ketchum, who writes, “For
the last 6 years I have traveled
with my grandchildren down to
Disney, but not this year. Instead,
I had my right shoulder replaced
in Jan. I am looking forward to
spring arriving on Cape Cod so
I can get on the golf course. My
son bought a get-away house in
New London and while visiting
them I noticed how the town
has really grown, as has Colby.”
Anne Batchelor De Grazia said
her grandchildren in Atlanta
had a real good time playing in
a rarely-seen 6" of snow received
last winter. She and Joe are doing
well and enjoyed a visit from
their 2 oldest sons, who have
settled in HI and OR. Anne keeps
active by going to the YMCA,
joined the garden club and assists
with her church newsletter.
Helen Johnson Sargent lives in
SC in the winter and ME in the
summer. Travel tours included
Normandy, Lyon and Provence
in 2010 and she’s looking forward
to a river cruise through
Eastern Europe in Oct. Helen
added, “I am now the proud
grandmother of 9 grandchildren
and 6 great-grandchildren!”

Holstine in Alexandria, VA, is
keeping very busy. Dottie has

grandchild and daughter live

A fall trip is planned for a Purdue

In Rochester, NY, Joanne Ripley
Spencer wrote that her traveling
has taken her to Ecuador, where
she saw the Amazon jungle and
the Galapagos Islands. Another
pleasure was seeing 4 grandchildren
in college, and a 5th
will be going in Sept. No. 6 is a
high school sophomore. Joan
Potter Palatine, in Glastonbury,
CT, writes, “It was fun reading
the news, and seeing how I’m
planning a visit with Mary Lou
Schneider Crowell in FL and I
keep in touch with Hope Lewin
and Jackie London Govin, I
thought I’d write a note. I’m still
skiing at Killington, VT, golfing
in CT and doing Zumba in
between. My latest dog is called
Linus, a golden retriever, and I
have resided in the same house
for 52 years.” Shirley Wright
Cantara lives in ME but she and
Bill had spent a few days visiting
Ron and Percilla Horridge
Savacool in Ft. Lauderdale.
Margaret “Peg” Lewis Moreland
enjoyed the Chocolate Fest at
CSC, where everyone voted for
the chocolate they thought was
the best. Congratulations are in
order for Ann Rosenbach Scott
and her husband on their 50th
wedding anniversary last fall.
“I still work at a local furniture
store in sales 2 days a week,” she
writes. “We now live in a flying
community in West Ossipee,
NH, so my husband has his little
airplane in a hangar attached to
the house, a life-long dream of
his. We have a 6-year-old granddaughter
attending the Windy
Hill School on the Colby campus
and an 18-year-old granddaughter
may be going to CSC
as a business major.” Janet Rich
Nixon wrote about the loss of
her roommate, Marian Tweedle
Anderson, to Alzheimer’s. “She
did not know me when I made
my final visits to Portland, ME,
but she found pleasure from the
visit of my Golden, Chance,” Jan
writes. “Her daughter, Gail, lived
close by and all 3 daughters were
with her at the last on 2/13/11.
I am glad to be on Facebook
where Gail and I may converse
regularly.” I was also sorry to
learn that CSC classmate Beverly
Bennett Buergin passed away in
July 2010 in Buffalo, NY. Thanks
to all who joined in on our class
newsletter and hope to hear
from a few more next time from
around the country.

Peter Clements, who Nancy has
known for 55 years, spend 6
months at his home in CO and
6 months in Jonesport, ME, at

out to Carol’s family. Anneke
