OnDoris Irvin Kiser’s return from a month-long cruise around Cape Horn in April of 2020, she came down with Covid-19 and nearly died. She was in the hospital for two weeks and in the


ICU for eight days. Doris had 24-hour care for a month and had to learn to walk again. Half of her hair fell out in June, but it came back by Christmas. She still has a little brain fog, and her daughter will not let her drive. In her ongoing recovery, Doris completes physical therapy for 45 minutes four days a week and walks a mile daily. She was in great physical shape before this happened, and she credits her survival to that. If you are even thinking about not getting your shot, read this again and go get it immediately.

1961 AlthoughAdelaide Anderson Davis was very sad to learn that she and her classmates would not be celebrating their 60th class reunion for another year because of the pandemic, she understands. One good thing that has come out of staying at home so much are the phone calls and emails that she has enjoyed with classmates and other alumni. Adelaide’s roommate of four years at Queens, Bebie Linn Chambers, called her several times, and the two had fun rreminiscing about their days at Queens. One memory that stands out was when she and so many of her classmates had what they think was the flu during their freshman year.
