New Yorker Janet Rich Bradley
can’t believe she ended up living
JUNE 3–6
to the movies, and reading books. Her most recent read was The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Jane has six great-grandchildren. Nette Meads Hoyt had a busy, happy, and healthy 2009. She took a granddaugh- ter to NYC for a theater week in April. She stayed in Vero Beach, FL, for the summer, skipping Martha’s Vineyard for the first time in 66 years, as her children were oc - cu pying her house there. She spent several weeks at a painting workshop in Tuscany, where she painted a different medieval city each day.
Edith Marie Switzer Cox plays bridge
and volunteers at the local library in Pu - laski, NY. She still lives alone in her home
in Tulsa, OK, for 44 years and has now relocated to Scottsdale, AZ (if anyone would like to send her a little snow she’d appreciate it). Happy says the powers that be decided that she should move near her daughter while she can still drive and “keep the gray cells in my brain moving.” She hopes she’ll acclimate to the desert. Her daughter teaches ballet at the Arizona School of Ballet. Another daughter lives in New York State and is deputy chief of staff to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand; a son in Bangkok cooks for the United Nations.
Adele Bagg Durward has moved to
Mashpee, MA, where she does a lot of walking. She encourages classmates to get out their yearbooks and reminisce about “all the fun and wild things we did”; some of them involved fire drills, riding bikes, and singing “To the tables down at Mor ey’s”—the popular theme song of the Yale Whiffenpoofs.
Peggy Jouard Gibson attended a grand-
son’s wedding in Poughkeepsie, NY, last summer. She got together with Mary Collins Cookinham, who she stays in touch with by phone; they celebrated their 90th birthdays together. Gloria Moos Hatch was surprised to see
Cathy Porrier Forshay at Beverwyck, the
adult residence in Slingerlands, NY, where she resides. She reports that Cathy is not in the best of health. Gloria sees Cathy’s hus- band, Bob, at weekly bridge games there.
