thank all those who answered the call for news so quickly. It’s been fun to look in my yearbook to remember you! At 85, Peggy TenEyck Goetz retired


’45


from working for the City of Palm Springs, CA. After living there for 30 years, she recently relocated to Cincin - nati, OH, to be near her daughter and son-in-law. She enjoys golf, tennis, and line dancing. The company of a grand- daughter and two great-granddaughters also keeps her happy. Pam Goetz Mitchell and her husband


were in Saratoga last year visiting relatives and toured the “not-so-new” Skidmore campus. Included in her note were pic- tures of her two young granddaughters. Nancy Morison Miller and Peter enjoy living in a retirement village in Newtown Square, PA, but spend summers at their Adirondack home in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. They stop by Skidmore on their way there. The couple has eight grandchildren. Marilyn Maier Feinberg is living in sen-


ior housing as she approaches her 90th birthday. Both of her daughters went to Skidmore. She has two grandsons and two great-grandchildren. Jane Wingate Quayle spends winters in Naples, FL, and would welcome meeting Skidmore alumni in the area. She misses many of her classmates who have passed away.


Marjorie Hill Laughton, who turns 90


this year, lives in a beautiful retirement home. She has two children, five grand- children, and five great-grands. Marjorie fondly remembers her three years and two summers on the Union Avenue campus. Carol Weyand Yorston is active and healthy. She and her husband live in La Jolla, CA, where they enjoy theater, con- certs, and visiting friends. She is on the boards of theater, music, and educational organizations. She saw Pat Casey Martus last year in San Diego, CA; Pat was on a cruise with her family. Phyllis Friedman Levenson drives a stick-shift VW that gets her to her volun- teer job at a hospice and to bridge games. She still plays the piano. Phyllis survived double-bypass surgery and feels quite lucky. She has two sons and four grand- children.

Jean Garvin Slate grows flowers and veggies in her garden, plays bridge, and goes out for lunch. She went on a Carib - bean cruise last year. She has three grand- children and two great-grands, one a re - cent high school grad and the other a col- lege freshman. At 90, Isabel Sherwin Harris says she is


still “upright” and painting. She lives in the Village on the Green retirement com- munity in Longwood, FL. Jean Birnbaum Perlmutter is recently widowed and lives in New Jersey. She has a granddaughter who graduated from Ohio State summa cum laude. My freshman roommate, Susan Kadison Richman, says she is “a happy camper” with a busy life in Newton, MA. She keeps an open house for several “kids” who come and go, plays tennis twice a week, and volunteers once a week at a hospital for dogs. I live in Westport, CT, and paint in a studio in my house. I am very active with the Westport Arts Center. My son has 8- year-old twins, and my daughter has two girls, 18 and 12. I am honored to be serv- ing as your new class secretary, although saddened by having to step in for Carol Fleicher Boswell, who passed away on April 26. She will be greatly missed.

December 25, 2012. We were friends for life, starting with a wonderful year as freshman roommates. We all enjoyed her company and will miss her dearly. She was a longtime supporter of the choir at the Albany Cathedral of All Saints; the group performed Mozart’s Requiem at her memorial service.

Husband Dunda had a broken hip and pneumonia, which kept them in Florida longer than expected this spring. Judy Gellert Berkley and husband Jack are doing well in Vermont.

daughter Rebecca Horton ’08 has been working for the United Nations for the last several years as a refugee relocation specialist. She has worked in Ecuador, Tunisia, and now Jordan. She returned home to Connecticut for a month this spring. (See p. 57 for more on Rebecca.) I received a perky Hello when I phoned


Fluff Jenney Hume, who lives in Louis - ville, KY. The connection was bad and I lost the call, but I’m assuming that her cheerful demeanor meant she is doing OK!


Jean Harrison McClelland, in Ballston


Spa, NY, promised me she would show up for our 70th reunion. Polly Deppen Whedon’s husband, Bill,


still holds the two-hole record in one of the Greater Hartford (CT) Open golf tour naments. After building delays at a new retire- ment community, Mike and I decided to stay right where we are, next to a golf course. I had my 17th hole-in-one recent- ly, using my nine iron to drive the ball about 90 yards. It was a foggy morning, so I did not see the ball go into the hole but later found it there. I’ve been think- ing about what a great business education I received at Skidmore. I obtained the best skills to prepare me for work after gradua- tion, and I am pleased to say I got every job I applied for! I also want to say how special it is to continue to keep in touch with my classmates after 65 years. Maybe WWII made us an especially close bunch.

Special thanks to our wonderful reunion co-chairs Leggie D’Wolf


and Dotsie Slosson Erskine, who planned a truly fabulous 65th. After myriad mis - haps, I just couldn’t make it to Saratoga Springs and was so disappointed. But Mary Jane Baker Macartney filled me in: Former residents of Libby House were present en masse: M.J., Pat Malmar Almond, Elouise Kenworthy Spelbrink, Margaret Hotaling Miller, Marie Ryder Riley, and Bernice Warr Williams. Others on hand were Pat Roach Maley, Helen Wigand Bolton, June Lynn Freeman and husband Leon, Jeanne Herrup Elman and husband Marshall, and Suzy Menzel Snyder. It was 95 de - grees, and the golf carts were always at the ready to ferry classmates around cam- pus. There was gourmet food, beautiful flowers, wonderful wines, and super fel- lowship. M.J. had the thrill of accepting
