bridge, attends lectures, eats out, and goes to movies. Her traveling days are limited, but her spirit is strong. After spending the last two years in Boca Raton, FL, Barbara Mirsky Baker moved to an independent-living community in Rye Brook, NY, to be near her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She still enjoys playing bridge, reading, and cultural activities. CAROL FLEISCHER BOSWELL 106 OLD BILLERICA ROAD, ROOM 231 BEDFORD, MA 01730 781-860-0482

week in her son’s camera repair shop, one of the few left in Indiana. Corky took three weeks off last October to visit her daughter and three grandsons in England. She has 19 grandchildren and 14 great- grands; having to remember all those birthdays and anniversaries keeps her mind alert. Joyce Furrey Ewers lost her second hus- band, Irving, late last year. The adjust- ment has been difficult for her, but the many activities at her Greenville, RI, retirement home keep her busy. She also feels fortunate to have helpful family members nearby. Dick and Nancy Bailey Allchin have
been happy in retirement at Broadmead Community in Maryland for 10 years now. They both play bridge, and Nancy enjoys doing art projects. She works at a barn-sale clothing operation and also interviews new residents for the commu- nity newspaper The Voice. Marjorie Boutilier is still in her Strat -
ford, CT, condo thanks to the slow real estate market. She travels to Maine to visit relatives, but not as often now. She keeps in touch with Christine Powell, who is

Kay Krauskopf Brylawski, in her condo in Elkins Park, PA, plays
back in her old homestead in Delaware. I hear from Virginia Dutemple Dennett several times a year. She and Phil recently moved to smaller quarters in the same town, North Andover, MA. Several years ago Ginny had a stroke and had to learn to write again. I treasure every hard-won letter she writes to me. Marjorie Magee Jacovic’s son Jay wrote a note on a Christmas card explaining that Marge had a stroke this past winter. Sadly, she died on Christmas Day. We send condolences to her family. My Elim Park retirement community is easy living for someone who must ride in a power chair. I still belong to a writers group and another that combines sewing with socializing. I can still do arithmetic and process the bills for our community convenience store and gift shop. My older daughter lives close enough to help with my errands. You can e-mail me at her address, listed below. BETTY BRYAN ROSENBAUM 150 COOK HILL ROAD, APT. 1105 CHESHIRE, CT 06410-3763 203-271-8805

mey; it is always special when someone from the College comes out to the West Coast to see me. Over the holidays, I phoned Judy Gellert Berkley in Ver mont, Jean Ann Stirling Horton in New Jersey, and Polly Deppen Whedon in Connec - ticut, all of whom made out OK in the various storms that hit the Northeast. I spoke briefly to Fluff Jenney Hume in Kentucky; she sounded great, but we got disconnected. I also tried to reach Jerry Lehmann Moats in New Hampshire and Lyn Fayen Friberg in Vermont (please let me know of any new phone numbers!). I moved into a newly constructed retire- ment complex in March, just eight miles north of my former residence. Tim Clem - mey and I agreed that it was great to see a photo of a ’47er from last year’s reunion included in Skidmore’s Legacy Society 2013 calendar. (I like to say I’m “Miss June,” along with Jeanne Clements Roth and the others who attended!) DO DUNKEL JERMAN 1983 SANDSTONE VISTA LANE ENCINITAS, CA 92024-4247 760-634-7640

In January I received a visit from Skidmore fundraiser Tim Clem -
other elders in a small apartment complex and describes the arrange- ment as “a mixed blessing.” Kit’s son lives about 50 miles away; her daughter is in Charlotte, VA, where she directs a nonprofit dental clinic for children. Katey Geyer Winant has May 30–June 2 marked on her calendar for our 65th reunion, which she will attend—“God willing.” Katey phoned Dee Dion Hardie, who suffers from memory loss but did remember her. They had a lively conver- sation about college days, and about their writing days. Dee won the Vogue Prix de Paris journalism prize, and they both mar- ried newspaper men: Tom Hardie was with the United Press, and Jake Winant worked for the Associated Press. Elouise Kenworthy Spelbrink will attend our 65th with “our group of eight” classmates, headed by Mary Jane Baker Macartney. Elouise is still working and loves her career in interior design. The class sends heartfelt sympathy to
Joan Theobald Mitchell, whose husband, Bill, died in December. Unwell for a cou- ple of months, he collapsed and died five days later. Bill celebrated his 90th birth- day last March; the couple was married for 62 years. Bill always came to reunions with Joan, and she doubts that she will come to our 65th alone. I hope she con- siders getting in touch with one of us about coming! The class also notes with sadness the passing of Ruth Bloch Baltimore’s hus- band, Marty, last November. A Colgate grad, he never missed a Skidmore reunion and will be greatly missed. June Baker Bremer’s daughter passed along the news that June suffered a stroke in March 2012. Now in an assisted-living facility, she struggles with some dementia but is doing all right. Suzy Menzel Snyder passed along the
news of the death of her son James Lin de - mann, a well-known criminal defense attorney in Houston, TX, last October. Colleagues and friends filled a large church for his funeral and his sister’s home in Austin for a reception. K. T. Hoopes Schmidt’s husband, George, also shared sad news. The couple enjoyed a lovely dinner one evening with their son and daughter-in-law, and then the daughter-in-law, who had been ill, died the following day. I hope to see you on campus for our 65th reunion, May 30–June 2.
