1932

Retirement or full-care homes seem to be the order of the day for nonagenarians. Guess what John Richardson and Dick Olmsted have in common besides being nonagenarian '32ers. Give up? Both live in Kendal retirement homes, John in Kendal at Longwood outside Philadelphia and Dick at Kendal at Hanover. There are other Quakerfounded Kendals elsewhere. A spy tells me that John is still playing golf, although a bit gimpy, but has long given up tennis. Bill Van Dusens wife, Betty, writes that they are in a retirement home, Penick Village, in Southern Pines, North Carolina, where Bill is in the personal section. The Max Saltzmans have recently moved to Brooks by Village Retirement Community in Peabody, Massachusetts, finding it very pleasant, making new friends and finding new activities. They look forward to our reunion. Marty Leich and Janet are traveling by armchair at his nursing home in Newburgh, Indiana, reading to each other from diaries of trips all over the world. Artificial hips now confine him to a wheelchair but son and daughter drop in often.

Leon Warner says, "I spend most of my days walking my dog, swimming and working on my computer. Not bad for 92? The worst thing that has happened to me was the loss of my wife, Mary, together for 60 years." Art Allen and Dobbie had an annual visit with daughter and grandson in Oslo, and went to spots in Norway they had enjoyed before. Plan for Survivors' Super 70th June 7-9, 2002.
