At the exercise gym, I recently ran into Dottie Irwin Touart , looking fit as ever. Since Tony's death, she has continued to live in the big Irwin home on White Oaks Road in Laconia, NH, and, along with her other activities, teaches all the piano students she has time for. George and Betty Lucey Bedard came from Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and were disappointed to find that health problems kept Dottie Keefe Kischitz from coming, but delighted that Olevia Haley Watson was there-her first Reunion in many years. Carolyn Cleasby Probert , all the way from England and visiting family here, came the farthest. Eloise and Charles Friend came to their first Reunion since leaving campus in 1947.
Home is now in Minneapolis.
Saturday evening at the banquet, Claudia Morner, the director, and Diane Tebbetts '65, her associate, were our guests and expressed their gratitude. Judy Austin Rantala went to Bolivia, Peru and Easter Island in May and is about to embark on a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. She'll join family on another canoe trip in Minnesota in July. We hope to see her in New Hampshire in August. Gene '46 and Ed Varney were unable to come to Reunion.
