and traveled to Costa Rica in November. The Brinks also spent time with Lynne Tower Combs and husband Bill in New Hampshire over the summer and visited with Ginny Rasmussen Leone and Michael in Greensboro, N.C., in the fall. Linda and Clark see Florida neighbors Marilyn Bugg Cooper and John frequent- ly. Judy Pick Eissner stopped by for a visit this past winter. Linda loves seeing so many classmates and is looking for- ward to Reunion! Melinda Mitchell Lyon and John have


had their son, a college graduate who is unemployed, living with them for a while. Melinda and John are planning to go to our 50th and will hook up with Linda Hamm Adams in NYC before mak- ing their way to Saratoga. Genya Markon retired in 2008 after 19


years at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and moved to Israel, where her two sons and four grandchildren reside. She now works part-time for the museum, interviewing survivors and collecting their family histories as well as photos, docu- ments, and artifacts. The work brings her a lot of satisfaction and keeps her busy. Genya, who also builds furniture, has completed two dining room tables and two beds for grandchildren. She summers at her parents’ house in Hampton Bays on Long Island. She is not sure she will be able to attend Reunion. Sandy Berlin Light is very active in fundraising, singing, and work as presi- dent of the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy. For her 70th birthday last year, Sandy’s children surprised her with a three-day ski trip with all 14 family members. She flew to Colorado frequently in 2013 to help her daughter, whose husband is fighting MDS, a type of bone-marrow cancer. Sandy also traveled to Boston, Mass., to see The Book of Mormon and help her other daughter, a Harvard professor, cele- brate the completion of a first book. They were right around the corner from the finish line when the bombs exploded at last year’s Boston Marathon. Aside from that experience and her son-in-law’s ill- ness, Sandy says life is “truly wonderful!” I hope to see all at Reunion!

On the trip home, they photographed wildflowers along the Blue Ridge Parkway. In June, they went to Colgate University for Dick’s 50th reunion.

ping in Milan, Bergamo, Lake Como, Verona, Bologna, and Venice. She fol- lowed up with a trip to Beaugency, in France’s Loire Valley, where she saw


French royal chateaux and enjoyed deli- cious bread. Returning to Italy, she visited 15th- to 18th-century palaces in Rome, some still in use as family homes, that were open for guided visits. Carole Walter Maeder and Zack had a jam-packed year of travel, and continue to enjoy dancing, which is therapeutic for him. A highlight was when Carole caught a fish that extended from her shoulder to her knee. She hosted her annual Bonita Springs, Fla., Skidmore luncheon for Diane “Penny” Thompson Jones, Margaret Kendrick Kuechle, Linda Miller Thorell, Joan Berejik, Eileen Kirwin Cameron, and Diana Ettinger Kloevekorn ’66. I have mostly recovered from my ankle fracture and complex treatment. My plea for a new class ring resulted in seven con- tacts from classmates and five offers. I received one as a gift, and feel “dressed” again while wearing it. Someone named in this column was the donor! Elizabeth “Lee” Cranshaw Rowan and I had a good laugh over the pros and cons of social media for the over-70 set. We are looking ahead to our 50th reunion in 2015, and challenge the whole class to attend, especially those who have not been back for a long time and haven’t stayed in touch with classmates.
