Muffin was baptized Margaret Grace, but the nine brothers prevailed on this nickname. She and John have a college student, a high school and a grade-school pupil. Our 12 children and 30 grandchildren have graduations, weddings, baptisms, Confirmations and First Holy Communions and since they live in China, Switzerland, New York, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland, I keep busy. Checking with our Washington area alumnae, Betty Boehme Morders has a new great-granddaughter, Alexis Katherine, born in January. Marguerite Pratt Foley's son was married in April.
Marguerite is very active in Blessed Sacrament parish in Chevy Chase.
She is a Eucharistic Minister and busy with the Evangelization programs and much interested in the Montessori method of education. Her daughter now lives with her and her son, Father Foley, is Pastor of Our Lady of Victory Church nearby. Her family, like ours, meet annually for a reunion. They travel to the ancestral Pratt home in New Hampshire, ours congregate here at St. Gabriel's Manor for a three-day celebration. Marguerite recently traveled to New Zealand to visit another son's family.
