long stay in Bhutan, where George volun- teered at a hospital and Lynn taught English. While there, they enjoyed a hike to a Buddhist monastery with friends from New Zealand. The couple spent a few days in India to visit Agra and the Taj Mahal, followed by three days in Kathmandu, Nepal, visiting friends. In July, while George visited hospitals in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Lynn took in the sights. She enjoyed meeting “very friendly” people and ziplining and jungle- walking. Lollie Engel Triebold and Dave made
their periodic pilgrimage to Spain last March. Their departure was delayed by a Chicago snowstorm, and they arrived 28 hours later, “just in time to party” and had a great time. In September, they trav- eled to Revelstoke, British Columbia. In October, class president Mollie Klee Heron left her home in Maine and trav- eled to Saratoga Springs, visiting friends along the way. She enjoyed lunch in New Hampshire with Mollie Settle Carleton, with whom she shares many mutual friends, including Bebe Bentley Brower. At Christmas Mollie’s entire family rented a “ski in” house in Whistler, British Columbia, for a week. Mollie, who didn’t ski because of a sore back, channels Bette Davis when she says, “Getting old isn’t for sissies.” Mollie did ride in a gondola, tak- ing in a magnificent view of the moun- tains. She enjoyed watching family mem- bers getting along and having fun. Twila Fleckten Wolfe visited Wash- ington, D.C., with an 11-year-old grand- son, took a Midwest road trip, toured Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in July, traveled to Croatia in September, and headed for Maui in November. Elizabeth Kasmer Fancher recently retired as a high school administrator in New Bern, N.C., and enjoys spending more time with her five grandchildren. Ruth Sorkin Summers is living happily
in her longtime home in Palm Beach, Fla. After 23 years of playing croquet as well as managing croquet clubs and marketing the sport, she was inducted in 2012 into the national U.S. Croquet Hall of Fame. Ruth spends winters in Florida and sum- mers in West Hampton Beach, N.Y. She would welcome hearing from any erst- while croquet players. Nancy Smith Bushnell and husband
Victor traveled to Denver, Colo., and Portland, Ore., last spring to see two of Nancy’s children and their families. They also headed to Maine in June for the wed- ding of Vic’s youngest son, Jon. Nancy spent a great long weekend in Cape Cod
at the home of her sister-in-law, whose children and grandchildren, along with Nancy’s grandchildren, were all on hand. In late September, she and Victor took a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon and eight other national parks, managing to slip into the last one the afternoon before the government was closed down. In mid- October, Nancy returned to Denver to see a granddaughter perform in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Caroline Gygax Wirth spent an “amaz- ing” summer traveling in Ireland, Faro Islands, Norway, and Germany, topped off with a three-week safari in Tanzania. “Not bad for this great-grandma!” Saralee Elegant Evans is a matrimonial mediator in a small law firm that she has served as founding partner along with husband Norman and his law school roommate. She expects to work for the indefinite future. Sandra Katz Neiman and husband Richard are active in the Maine communi- ty where they have been happily retired for 13 years. Sandra is co-founder of the Maine chapter of Homer’s Giving Tree, using pooled donations to make grants to local nonprofits. She also serves as treasur- er on the board of Midcoast Senior College. The couple enjoys spending time with their four grandchildren, who range in age from 7 to 15. Last summer, they took the two eldest grandkids on safari to Tangaria, India. Janice Sachs Davis and husband Steve celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August with a cruise to Bermuda with 12 family members. A longtime travel consultant, Janice has run her own home- based agency, Travel Connections for the past 10 years. The couple’s wanderlust has taken them to many interesting places around the globe. Their five grandchil- dren, from 8 to 21, keep them young and on the go. Up here in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, I do Jazzercise for an hour four times a week to keep the body and brain working. I serve as chairman of our church Art and Design Committee and treasurer of the Plymouth chapter of the Philanthropic and Education Organization. As a foster family for New England Brittany Rescue, my husband and I have evaluated, trained, and placed 12 Brittany spaniels. It is a lot of work but very rewarding, as most of the dogs come from kill shelters in the south and have been through a lot. We enjoyed our annu- al three-week stay at our summer home on Lake George in July surrounded by kids, grandkids, and other visitors.

trips to visit grandchildren living in Africa and the Czech Republic. She and husband John also enjoy racing their horses, spending time with friends and family, and savoring quiet moments on their farm. In January I spoke to Sandy Skinker Bennett, who had suffered a nasty fall and concussion that caused headaches and nausea and forced our normally uber- active classmate to recuperate quietly and give up TV, iPad, and books for much longer than she could tolerate. For this avid equestrian, the worst part was not being able to ride. Happily, she has recov- ered nicely. Dale Fairtile Maron met up with Betsey Burstein Schneider in Phoenix, Ariz., for brunch while Betsey was competing in the National Duplicate Bridge Tourna- ment there.
