Gordy McAllen Baker writes, “I
continue to love living in NH;
I’m just 15 minutes north of New
London, so I get to the campus
often. President Galligan is marvelous
and his wife Susan plays
tennis next court to me every
week. I see Barbara Johnston
Rodgers all the time—tough in
winter while she’s skiing and I’m
playing bridge.” Peggy Magoun
Rothrauff writes, “I’m living
in Acton, MA, in a 55+ community.
My travels now seem to
be national, not international.
One daughter and her family
live in Berkeley, CA, and another
daughter lives in Dallas, TX. Love
visiting both of them. Other
2 daughters and grown grandchildren
are nearby.” Judith
Treuchet Scott is struggling
with serious health problems so
doesn’t have much news, but she
and Dick have thought of trying
to get away for a couple of weeks.
“We know it will be challenging,
but needed,” she writes. Barbara

Young Camp was happy to have
the Phillies win the World Series
in fall 2008. “With 11 grands
you would think I would have
1 or 2 fans but not yet,” she
writes. “I am still working on
the younger’s. My life is happily
children, grands, and gardens.”
Jane Carpenter Patterson writes
that she and Ken celebrated
their 50 th anniversary. Her twin
sister, Edyth Carpenter Sapp,
escapes the Phoenix heat by
coming to New Smyrna Beach
for 3 months, renting a few
doors from her. Her new joy
is fishing weekly in the intercoastal
waters, pulling out trout,
flounder, drum and redfish,
plus doing overnight shrimping.
Nan Langdon Darche writes
that they find themselves in
rural PA for the summer half of
the year. They’re in Kempton,
where daughter Gail, her husband,
their 4 kids and a farm
full of animals live. “We enjoy
being here and being useful!” she
writes. Their other kids live in
NJ, MA and CT, so they see them
often. Tracy Rickers Siani writes
that they raised over $20,000
for the 5K run/walk benefit for
the Children’s Home Society
of Florida, and began year-long
celebrations for the founding of
their town. In June, members of
Tracy’s family spent a week in
Napoli visiting friends and family,
and Tracy had a fun week
at her son Sergio’s cabin on an
island in Lake Waukewan, NH.
Susan Bice Huetteman writes,
“We became FL residents this
year, but will continue to be in
RI during the summer. Now we
are able to enjoy the families of
both of our sons.” Ellen Barrows
Van Winkle is sorry to have lost
her good friend Carol Fox. She’s
planning to spend part of the
summer in Ashville, NC, with
daughter Kathy and her three
children. Ellen plays bridge every
week to help to keep her mind
sharp. Vaughan Peters Rachel
writes, “Last Dec. I moved to
Pacific Beach where I live near
my daughter and my 2 granddaughters,
Leah and Audrey. Life
is a beach—it’s fun!” Gordon
McAllen Baker spent 10 days in
OR to see her grandson graduate
as valedictorian from high
school. She visited her old pals
in Portland, then hiked with
her son and his family on Mt.
Ranier in WA. Gordon went on
a great trip last March to Egypt
and Jordan. Martha Funk Miller
writes, “Congratulations, Jane,
on the birth of a granddaughter.
I hope she has arrived and both
mother and baby are fine. I wish
I could say my summer has been
an exciting one, but instead I
have been living with a broken
arm for almost 8 weeks. Thank
goodness for my family.” Joan
Vincent Donelan writes, “I have
a large family and 11 grandchildren
who keep me busy. One
contributed to the Woods Hole
Nancy Paige Parker ’54, Carol Nelson Reid ’54 and Helen Johnson Sargent
’54 enjoyed themselves at Alumni Fall Festival.
Film Festival, one received her
master’s for OT, and 2 graduated
from high school. The rest are
busy with sports like lacrosse,
gymnastics, figure skating and
ice hockey. I am still enjoying
good ole Cape Cod in the house
I grew up in.” Victoria Sawdon
Banghart is still living a fun and
productive life in Elkhart Lake,
WI. “Our family has grown with
our sons and daughters and 10
grandchildren—we are very
blessed,” she says. Victoria corresponds
with Anita Johnson
Beselin, who is living in Portugal
and has traveled all over the
US, and saw Georgene Haney
Campion, who is a successful
artist in suburban Chicago.
Victoria has been working in a
gift shop and is making quilts.
Susan Wiesner Bray writes, “I
lost my husband Wats on Dec.
24, 2008, to cancer. We were
married 52 years on June 30,
2008. When I returned from our
FL home where I spend 6 month
of the year, I learned that my
son’s wife wanted a divorce, and
that is what is taking up most of
my time this summer.”

Editor’s Note: Special thanks to
Glenice Hobbs Harmon, who
is stepping down as your co-class
correspondent after serving faithfully
since 2003.
It was good to hear from so
many of you using the postcard
system. Glenice Hobbs Harmon
decided to “retire” as one of the
class correspondents. We worked
well together, and Glen and I
teamed up to attend a number of
class reunions, too. Glen loves to
have the grandkids come to visit.
One daughter and her family will
be moving from UT to VA, and
Glen is happy to have the family
a bit closer to home. Glen and
Vic belonged to garden clubs,
and some of their flowers now
grace the Cobban flower garden.
Glen is also involved with church
activities and senior exercise
class. Joan Batchelor Brown had
a special trip to Boston with a
