a training, boarding, and breeding farm in Charlottesville, Va. The facility is much like my daughter’s riding center, Meadow Marsh, in Harvard, Mass. The class mourns the passing of Ruby Helford Aronsky in November. We extend condolences to her son, daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We also send condolences to the family
of Nancy Stall Howard, who died last June. We remember Nancy as a devoted community volunteer who loved attend- ing family reunions. SUSAN RABINOWITZ MALLOY 8 DOGWOOD LANE WESTPORT, CT 06880-5021

April 2013 at 101. Nancy also welcomed their first great-grandchild, Grace, last year. Marjorie Garton Monski has moved to
’46
an assisted living facility in Winter Haven, Fla., to help ease her arthritis. She feels fortunate that oldest daughter Martha and son Paul live nearby. Marjorie enjoys the lovely weather and visits from family members. She welcomes hearing from classmates. Helen Henzel Huba reports that her husband of 62 years, Robert, passed away at age 92 in November. Helen, who suf- fered a stroke three years ago, gets around with a walker. She misses good friend Jan Hamilton Muyskens. Virginia Dutemple Dennett says she and Phil are able to walk for half an hour each day, indoors or out. That is a major effort for the couple, who have had some serious health problems. Frances Schermerhorn Sherley, since fracturing her pelvis, has been confined to the Hanover, N.H., area. She can no longer play tennis, which she misses dreadfully. Fran stays busy with the International Women’s Club and the Hanover Garden Club. Son David and his wife reside in Kentucky, where he is work- ing on a master’s degree in architecture and she is an accountant at Toyota. Fran is happy to see how many of our class members are still active. Margaret Colby Doig has been in the assisted living Kingsway Residence in Schenectady, N.Y., for three years, moving there after her husband passed away. Margaret, who has suffered several falls that have resulted in a broken hip, pelvis, and neck, spends most of her time in a wheel- chair. She also has trouble using her hands. Nancy Bailey Allchin and Dick live in Broadmeade, a retirement community,
Connie Wallace Caldwell’s hus- band of 63 years, Dave, died in
where they stay busy exercising, attend- ing lectures, and volunteering. They also try to keep up with their busy children. Daughter Carol is a physician at a VA hos- pital in St. Cloud, Minn. Daughter Joy is a retired teacher who does private tutoring. Their son, Douglas, recently published a book, Teaching the Nature of Science. I volunteer at our Village Shoppe at Elim Park, where I have enjoyed easy living for 12 years. I came here so I wouldn’t have to cook, and my oven has never been turned on. Since I get around in a wheel- chair, I work with a personal trainer on a special exercise program. A friend started a group to study poetry. Since I grew up with family members who quoted poetry at every opportunity, I am eager for this venture to succeed.

Eleanor designed the home’s interior, win- ning top honors from the American Institute of Architects. Alice Ziegler Bomer is keeping pretty

Husband Douglas, a retired emergency room physi- cian, has authored a second book, Entrepreneurial Annie and I, which details how the couple built a fortune by manag- ing income property.
