Celebrating the Arts - Dwight-Englewood School

CLASSNOTES
Dwight-Englewood School

One to One Women Coaching Women,
which serves a deserving and
underserved population of women who
cannot afford life coaching. Tom and I
recently immersed ourselves in an
enlightening and challenging yoga retreat
in the Bahamas. Our ’Jan Plan’ allowed
us the delicious experience of spending
the month of January in California near
where our two daughters live with their
families. The next milestone will be my
50th reunion at Wheaton College, which
promises to be a banner celebration.
With fond memories of our days together
at Dwight.”

Judith Kytle Hanshaw sends her
congratulations to the Class of 1960
on a great past reunion. She continues
to enjoy the 50th reunion photos and
stories.
In Connecticut, Mary Riker McAllister is
back at work teaching remedial reading
after recovering from a broken leg. The
Rev. Bobbie Weeks Miner and husband
spent some time this winter in Florida;
Connie Bayles von Maur and Bobbie are
planning a get-together for us sometime
in 2012 and hope many of our class will
join in. Rose Satterfield is sad to report
from North Carolina that her mother
passed away in October at the age of 96
(see In Memoriam on page 58). Rose is
hosting her 14-year-old grandson from
Germany for the year. He is attending the
8th grade here in the U.S. She says, “It is
interesting being a parent again!”
Elena Love and Ginny Weleck Ricken
had lunch recently in Arizona where they
both reside. Gretchen Priemer Lawler,
Ph.D., has checked in from Indiana and
reports she was very pleased to receive
the D-E Today bulletin after many years
out of the loop.

Eleanor “Missy” Evans Grose been living
in London since 1989 and still enjoying
it. She and her husband have a small
financial company that they run together
(Tom’s the boss, she’s the cleaning
lady!). They have four children: twin girls
who live in Singapore who each have
three children, another girl who lives just
outside of London who has one child,
and a son in NYC who works for Google
and is getting married this summer.
From Susan Stellar: “I’ve been in
Englewood since 2008, assisting my
parents in the home many of my
contemporaries will remember. Before
that, after retiring from the City of
Detroit, I taught middle school science
there. Last year I reconnected with
Karen Lane Fierstein. Now Karen, Patty
Thomson Russell and I are the de facto
50th Reunion Committee. I’ve enjoyed
my new old friends so much that I am
really looking forward to a great weekend
in June. I’ve also been in touch with the
Cassebaum family: Anne D ’61, Frances
Galloway D ’59, and Mary Elizabeth
(“Lucy”) Meyer D ’66. Their home was my
second home during our Dwight days.
Mrs. Cassebaum still lived around the
corner until her death in April 2010 at the
age of 101! This September the four of us
spent a delightful evening going to
Greenwich Village to see a play directed
by my brother’s partner. (Unfortunately,
the manager of the theater was not only
a jerk, but also a crook, and the IRS
padlocked the theater one day after it
opened.) I’ll use this opportunity to
encourage all Dwight ’61 classmates to
come to our 50th Reunion in June. See
you there!”
