In October Sandee Chernow Byrne enjoyed a great Smithsonian trip to Portugal and Spain, with a focus on archi- tectural study. Her oldest grandson is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut and traveled to Israel in January on a “birthright trip.” Twin grandsons are looking at colleges, while the youngest is in high school and play- ing sports.


Hope Thompson Kerr and her twin sis- ter traveled to China and Mongolia last year. She described this wonderful trip in the December class letter we all enjoyed reading.


JoAnne Klenen Loughran and her hus- band are enjoying their newly restored home, which had been damaged in a fire. They enjoy visiting family who live near- by, working in their garden, and partici- pating in book clubs and discussion groups. JoAnne traveled to Paris last spring, spent the summer at their Oregon cabin, and took a December trip to New Zealand with one of their children who teaches in Hong Kong. She exercises daily and is thankful for good health. Linda Gorham Harvey’s 24-year-old granddaughter hiked the Pacific Coast Trail from Mexico to Canada with a friend, completing the 2,700 miles in five months. Linda and husband John enjoy winters on Sanibel Island, Fla. Horsewoman Susan Schanck Fawcett was featured in the November 3 Sierra Vista Herald for her fourth induction into the Dressage Foundation’s Century Club. Membership requires that the sum of the rider’s and horse’s ages equal 100 or more. Susan, who cites the influence of Skidmore riding instructor Carl Bauer, has ridden with friend Mary “Chick” Glassey Ehbrecht at every class reunion. She plans to do so again at our 60th in 2017. Thea Woodfin Reinhart works part-time as a forensic psychologist in child custody cases. She enjoys spending time with her four younger granddaughters; the older ones are at college and working. She and husband Frank like to sail, hike, and visit


friends, and are grateful for family who live nearby.


Joanne Green Millard’s greatniece Seeley Fancher ’18 was attracted to Skidmore by the field hockey team, for which she now plays, but she is enjoying everything about the college. Joanne keeps busy with duplicate bridge and reading. She encourages anyone interest- ed in retirement living in Connecticut to contact her at Stone Ridge in Mystic. In November Margi Bishop Maynard, husband Bill, and I had lunch with Reg Heitchue, husband of the late Jean Pinney Heitchue, at his beautiful house on Chesapeake Bay. We have enjoyed sev- eral gatherings of Skidmore folks at Reg’s place over the years. That day we met Susan Sinclair and are delighted that she and Reg are now engaged. In October Margi and Bill visited Chick Glassey Ehbrecht and husband Adolph at their new house in South Yarmouth on Cape Cod. Chick was in remarkably good shape after being thrown from a horse last summer and breaking many bones. She is back to volunteering. Chick’s son Will wrote, directed, and edited an amaz- ing program for the Discovery Channel that featured naturalist Paul Rosalie being swallowed by a huge snake. Happily, both Paul and the snake are fine. Ingrid Kolseth Zola and Skip had a delightful September visit with Judy Mack Bohrman and Judy Lyman Shipley and their husbands in Maine. In October the Zolas traveled to England to visit son Brad, his new wife, and their six children. Daughter Louise and her family joined them there, and then they all went on to Budapest for a four-day stay that included a cruise down the Danube. Sadly, Judy Lyman Shipley passed away on December 16. She is remembered as a kind, generous, and joyful person who exhibited a lifelong commitment to peo- ple and communities. We also lost Dorothy Hearne Sundstrom on May 15. We send our deepest condolences to both families. BECKY BECKWITH BALLENTINE 801 S. PITT STREET, #220 ALEXANDRIA, VA 22314 BBBALEX@VERIZON.NET
