trip with friends to Williamsburg,
VA, this past year and enjoyed
the ambience of Colonial times.
Sarah Rudy Terhune and Frank
were in New London this summer
and enjoyed “Hello Dolly”
at the NL Playhouse. Barbara
McIntire Haskins went camping
last summer in NH and
was joined by Joyce Carron
Hall for a few days. My apologies
to Ruth Rissland Kreuter,
whom I had living in the wrong
state. She lives, and they have
their Christmas Tree Farm, in
Lebanon, NJ. She was hoping
to be in Venice, FL, this past
winter but due to health reasons
had to delay; but she still
hopes to get to Deer Isle, ME,
this summer for some R&R.
Betty Coleman Lincoln has
had some serious health issues
recently but is recovering nicely
now. Sally Marker Hayward
says her family was all together
for Thanksgiving. Sally has 2
grandchildren: Molly a senior at
WY, and Lucy a graduating high
school senior heading for her
dad’s alma mater, Louisville. Sally
has joined many of us who are
well acquainted with ARTHUR-
ITIS! Barbara Brown Barrett
writes of their trip to NY in Oct.
2010. They also visited West
Point with its wonderful examples
of military history. Barb
looks forward to a cross-country
trip next year to visit friends and
relatives. Barb has 2 granddaughters
(18 & 13) and 4 cats who
rule the house. Maggie Granger
DeLuca has 7 grandchildren
ranging in age from 20 to 3.
Fortunately for them they all live

Judy Abbe Madden is delighted
that her daughter Stephanie is
moving from Durham, NC, to
live with her. Her son recently
moved close by, also. She still
works 3 days a week in a Denver
law office and is happy and
healthy and still a hoot. Sandy
Hazen Clement and Frank
have moved to Naples, FL. She
welcomes any Colby people
to come by when in the area.
Robin McDougal just returned
from the San Diego Audubon
Bird Festival. Elaine McKenzie
Kutrosky joined her from Los
Angeles and enjoyed her 1st birding
experience, one day of which
was spent on a boat looking for
sea birds. They also visited The
Scripps Aquarium and Center for
Oceanography and took a bus
trip to Anzo-Borrego State Park
in the desert. Robin will go to
Phoenix for a landscape photography
class with Road Scholar
next. “I’m still working as a paraprofessional
at our local middle
school and Dave is retired from
the Navy and a nuclear power
plant company,” Jan Mahoney
Amidon writes. “He spends
much time volunteering at the
New England Air Museum. In
fact we have traveled with them
to HI, Nova Scotia, England and
Ireland. We have just returned
from a Caribbean cruise during
my vacation from school. We
have sons in VA and CO and
daughters in FL and Simsbury,
CT. We keep busy babysitting
our 3 grandchildren and their
sports activities.” “Mature adults”
is Jan’s choice for aging word.
Sally Little Dussault writes, “I
prefer ‘maturing,’ i.e. a good
wine, becoming more developed
and informed, ripening.” Harriet
Fiorito Kelly writes, “Just back
from Bermuda where Ken and
I celebrated our 50th wedding
anniversary. Took our daughter
and her 6 boys along. They range
in age from 16 to 2-year-old
identical twins. Ken was diagnosed
with Parkinson’s Disease
last year and it is having its way
with him. Walking has become
more and more difficult and I
have become the one now who
has to open jars and kill bugs.
Don’t know how many more
trips there will be, but we are living
in the minute and trying to
cram everything in while we still
can.” Diane Shugrue Gallagher
was in Cairo just before the revolution—she
said the vibes were
scary. Her 2 daughters, Catherine
and Claire, live in San Francisco.
In May Diane received an award
from President Carter for her
work with the Peace Corps; be
sure to read the article on her
in the front of this magazine.
Janice Eaton Atkins was preparing
pottery for a show when I
talked with her. I’ve visited her
twice in the past 3–4 years. The
last time we toured a state-of-theart
homeless shelter that was just
opening up. Talked with Debby
Kent Springer—she was at their
seasonal place on the ocean
planting flowers. I, Jill Booth
MacDonnell, continue to enjoy
hearing your news, plus ideas
on words for aging and wisdom
you’ve learned in the aging process.
I am probably the oldest
grandparent of young children
around. Mine are Evan, 7, and
Elizabeth, 5, from Katie (43);
Lucinda (39) has Wyatt, 2, and
Austin John Janover, 1 month
old. I’m now taking acting lessons.

Barbara Shepard McCoy and
George celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary on Feb. 18.
They hosted a luncheon that day
with friends in AZ, where they
spend the winter. They took a
cruise to the southern Caribbean
in Jan. In May they will have
a reception at their church in
IL, when their families will be
there. Pat Bowker Lach is living
in Buffalo, NY, again. One of
their children lives 10 minutes
away with a grandson who plays
a sport every season so they
enjoy watching him play. Becky
Lovingood writes, “After Colby
I went to Syracuse U., studied in
England and then taught for 40
years in the Philadelphia area.
I taught 4th grade and worked
with musical programs and
plays. Along the way I enjoyed
a sabbatical in Krakow, Poland.
I have traveled the world and
