1920

Hope Frey, off to winter in the Southwest, forwarded notes sent to her along with class dues. I'm sorry limited space permits only excerpts: A cheerful "update" from Warren O. Turner states that despite lost eyesight (but still good hearing) he keeps well up on events through TV radio, and New Jersey services for the blind. He is blessed with sons Jack '60 and. Warren, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren (with one to come). Ralph S. Roberts, recovering from a broken leg, was planning with his daughter a cruise, to the Pacific Rim, and around the world to home. Hope thus answered his inquiry as to what percentage of '20s survive: the class enrolling in 1920 was 462; in December 1990, 35 members were living, or approximately 7.6 percent.

Upbeat as always, "Sig" Sigler writes from Largo, Fla., that he and wife Betty (of 66 years) "continue to look forward to those 'golden years' but have had many 'golden moments,'" although required "to take pills by the truckload."

On the distaff side, Anne Thomson says she is still in a nursing home but feels better. Pat Butler (widow of Sal Andretta) reports her marriage in January 1989 to Frank Butler. They divide their time between Washington, D.C., and Lajolla, Calif. Best wishes! Frances(McGoughran) Durling, after the 70th Reunion, went to Canada for her youngest granddaughter's wedding and spent a number of weeks in Annapolis. "Never a dull moment." Emilie Palmer writes that her granddaughter and grandson are both high school teachers and coaches in Florida and that daughter Hannah "keeps track of her mother nicely." Alice W. Dewey expresses well-deserved thanks to Hope "for all the things you do to keep us posted." Harriet (Miller) Hight, after the June reunion, attended several days of Alumni College (on changes in the U.S.S.R.) and was planning to host two of the Russians coming to Worcester "from our sister city, Pushkin ... another learning experience."
