course. We will only spend 4–5
months in FL, but after the early
winter we had this past year, it
might be longer. When in NH,
I keep involved with volunteer
work with my church, the
Women’s Golf Association, and
the President’s Alumni Advisory
Council and the newsletter for
Colby-Sawyer—plus bridge, book
club and my passion for counted
cross stitching. Rick planned to
go to CA over Labor Day to see
2 girls we hosted (ages 17 with
handicaps of 2 or less!) in the
First Tee Tournament with the
Champions Tour at Pebble Beach,
then to Santa Rosa for a few days
in the wine country, and finally
up to Seattle for a few days’ visit
with our son, Mark, and his family.
Our youngest son, David,
is living in St. Augustine, FL, so
we get to visit with him and his
family while in FL and via video
conferencing on a regular basis.
And our eldest son, TJ, and his
family live right here in NH so
we get to enjoy them on a regular
basis. Next summer Rick and
I are planning a trip to AK with 3
other couples.

Allison Hosford reports that all
is still well on their farm; they
had just finished shearing their
Christmas tree plantation and are
harvesting onions and potatoes
from their garden. Prudence
Hostetter mentioned that it was
hot and humid at home in FL,
but that she had a great time on
Nantucket. Prudence was going
to the Raleigh/Durham area to
meet up with Susan Yuckman
Reed. She keeps in touch with
her old roommate Francie King,
who has started her own business
in the Boston/Marblehead area.
Prudence has been trying her
hand at substitute teaching. Pat
Maher Christodoulou left Colby
after the 1965-66 school year but
loves being in touch with pals
from those days. She would love
to hear from Joyce Wilkinson
Oesch, Sigrid Thorne, or any of
her “old buddies from Shepard
Hall.” Pat still loves living in NY
and works in her cardiologist
husband’s office. Betty Bland
Homeyer writes, “Unable to
make it to Colby-Sawyer during
Alumni Fall Festival, Georgeann
Hoffman Berry ’68, Sally
McCracken Smith and I got
together in the White Mountains
the week before. Georgeanne
made the trip north from VA,
because she missed the NH
mountains so much! Sally and
I gave her a good tour of all the
beautiful foliage and sights.”
Betty adds that she continues to
be amazed at how busy her life
is now that she’s retired! “How
did I ever find time to teach and
do all those lesson plans and
paper corrections?” she wonders.
She’s been learning to paint with
watercolors and became involved
this year with a writing critique
group. High on her list of things
that she does regularly is playing
with the grandkids: Millie, Isaac
and Miles. Emily Waterman
Mooney reports that she will be
in her 35th year of teaching this
fall. She has taught driver education
for the last 7 years at Oxbow
High School in Bradford, VT.
She also taught PE for 11 years
in CO, and then moved to RI
where she also taught PE and was
the athletic director at a private
school for the 15 years prior to
moving to VT. After a few more
years of teaching PE at Oxbow,
she switched to driver education.
She says that she also has a summer
property management business
that keeps her busy from
Apr. through Oct. She hopes to
retire in 5 years and then concentrate
full time on her landscaping
business. Emily is also a
ski instructor in VT on weekends.
She has 2 sons: Kit Peabody,
a lawyer in Boston, and Alex
Mooney, who works for CNN in
DC and will be in Georgetown
Law School this fall. Son Kit
and daughter-in-law Antonia
became parents of Emily’s first
granddaughter, Ali Marshall
Peabody, on June 25. Whitney
McKendree Moore sent proof
that she has a high school graduate:
a photo of her son Ned, who
was about to enter Bard College
for his freshman year. He was
in residence at Camp Hazen as
a counselor this summer along
with the son of Gusty Lange
Ettlinger ’68. Whit reports that
she stays in close touch with
Ann Lincoln Mitchell, Wendy
Weinstein Fish, Beth Janes
Nesbitt ’74, and Mary Hatch
Moore (who is her sister-inlaw).
Whitney also says that she
sometimes connects with Ann
Blackman ’66, and that she’s
searching for a long-lost chum,
Elizabeth Berg ’66. Whitney
adds that she’s been earning her
keep by playing guitar and singing
in nursing homes, which
she finds “really gratifying.”
Betty Bland Homeyer ’67,
Georganne Hoffman Berry ’68, Sally
McCracken Smith ’67 outside the
Mount Washington Hotel in N.H.
She loves it but misses singing
in harmony, and it makes
her think of people like Diane
Eagle Kataoka, Sally Worthen
and Marina Gopadze. Whitney
is still writing and sent along
a rough draft of an essay titled
“Late-Breaking Breakthroughs.”
From the Med Tech ’67 class,
Ellen McDaniel Wilsey has
been living in Albuquerque, NM,
for about 12 years and found
out recently that NM governor
Bill Richardson’s wife, Barbara
Flavin Richardson ’69, is a
Colby graduate! Ellen invited
other Colby graduates living in
NM to look her up. As for me,
I’m still teaching 4 th grade at the
same small rural school located
in Pineville, SC. Husband Bobby
is still the chief cook and bottle
washer in our family these days,
courtesy of his retirement. Our
daughter Natalie graduated (with
honors!) in May from Winthrop
U in Rock Hill, SC, and the day
before she got her diploma she
Whitney McKendree Moore ’67 with her husband Barry and their son Ned.
