55th Reunion

I'm still around and planning to be for quite a while.  I keep busy with a project for the Franklin Institute which I can do on my home computer.  And I have finally gotten around to organizing my vacation photos from an Easter Island trip in 2006 and my 2nd trip to Antarctica in 2009.  It is not a good idea to wait so long to do this.  Memories tend to lose specifics.  Joan, May 2010

June 2008:  Hi.  This is my first entry to your information on-line.  I moved to Maryland in 1966 and lived there for 38 years.  Moved to Audubon, PA to be with my cousins.  Since I was born in Philadelphia most of my relatives (except my brother who lives in Vermont) live in the Philly area.  I have lived in Shannondell at Valley Forge for a little over 4 years.  No cooking!  No Cleaning!  What more could I want?  So that's it.  Joan

May 2008:  Here is Joan Nichols.  I talked with her on the phone this afternoon.  She has lived in Shannondell Retirement home in Norristown, PA for 4 years.. Tom

July  2008 - Hi Bob Woeber, thanks for all the work in organizing the 60^th Mt Lebanon Class of 1948 Reunion.  My husband will not be able to attend but I will attend with (3) guests. . . my sisters.

60th Reunion:  

Myra, Kathy Mullen and Shirley Forbes @ 60th Reunion

Life has been good.  After High School I attended secretarial school then worked for Pennsylvania Railroad for 3 years.  Married an electrical engineer / reserve captain in the Marine Corp in 1953 and moved to Chicago.  Married 37 years and have 2 great sons, both electrical engineers and 4 grandchildren ‑ 1 a chemist, 1 a computer programmer, 1 in high school and one18mos old.  I married again in 1994 to a wonderful man, a metallurgist with a PhD and 4 grown sons, 1 a dentist and 3 electrical engineers.  On my husband's side 6 grandchildren ‑ 2 in college, 3 in high school and 1 in grade school.  We are proud of all of them.

My husband Jim and I are enjoying good health.  I have had my own interior design company while living in St. Louis.  Mission work has been an important part of my life by volunteering: I went to Louisiana two times after hurricane Katrina to gut houses, helped build homes for Habitat for Humanity, prepare and serve meals at a local soup kitchen, once a week volunteer to help a family with quadruplets ... makes me realize that we all need help sometime in our lives.

Looking forward to the Reunion!  Your classmate, Myra Ortolf Hancock

May 21, 2008:  Bob talked with her today.  Alive and well at 1150 Covered Bridge Road, Columbia, MO

Ruth  received  The Helen de Conway Litttle  Medal of Honor from The Herb Society of America on June 28, 2008 at the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel in Boston during The Society's 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting.   Bill

Hi, everyone!  Wil and I plan to attend the Class of '48's 60th.  Before that  we are going to England in May and then to Boston to attend the 75th Annual Meeting of the Herb Society of America.  We're looking forward to seeing you all.  Ruth R.- February 2008

June 2003:  Ruth Osborne Rouleau and her husband Dr. Wilfred T. Rouleau toured England in May, visiting castles, cathedrals, and gardens.  They returned home on one of the last transatlantic crossings of the Queen Elizabeth 2.

January 6, 2003:  Here's a bit of what I've been up to recently:

I helped plan the 50th Class Reunion last October for my class of '52 from Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Tech in those days)  by serving on the Reunion Committee.   Our Class Correspondent is Dick Whitmore,  who is also a member of our Mt. Lebanon class.

In July of 2001 my husband, Wil, and I visited southern and southeast England with a group of six on a two-week tour of scientifically and archeologically significant sites that was sponsored by Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, of which Wil has been a long-time member.  It whet our appetite for travel in the British Isles, and we hope to return.  Ruth Osborne Rouleau

July 2008:   I talked with Anne on the phone today and this is what I gleaned from the conversation:  Following High School Anne went to Hood College, Fredrick, MD, for 2 years then to Carnegie Tech where she graduated.  Married Jim Troutman in 1953 and had 4 children - Kim (1 grandchild), twins Molly (3 grandchildren) and Alice (2 grandchildren) and Phillip.  Moved around a lot as her husband was in the military but settled in Darrien, CT.

Later she married Don Fair and remained in Darrien for about 12 years where she did some Market Research work until she moved to Bonita Springs, FL.  Anne lives by herself in a condo and has been active in various historical and community projects.

She sounded great and just as enthusiastic as I remember her.  She and Carol Davis are planning to join us at the reunion.  Bill

Hi Bill,  Thanks for the update.   I assume that, though the yearbook has me as Barbara, you know I go by Ann and I have sent my money to Bob under Ann Pritchard Evanson.

The committee sure has worked hard and planned a wonderful weekend.   I'll be staying with Anne Mosites Miller along with some of the other widows.   Bill Miller will have a houseful of women to contend with.  We're really excited about the 60th and look forward to a great time.

Again, thanks Bill for keeping us informed.  Ann  ("Pritch")

From Mary Murrie Hardy, January 2007 - Hi Bill,  thought you might like to see this picture that was taken in October at Suzanne Divine Williams' place.  The lake in the background is right behind her daughter's house, and the good looking group are from left: Jeanne Vayda McCallum, Ann Bowman McClymonds, Mitzi Fantl Murphy, Nancy Godden, Anne Mosites Miller, Suzanne Divine Williams, and Ann Pritchard Evanson.  I took the picture.  We had a wonderful 4 days together in the New Jersey, Philadelphia area.  (Click on image to enlarge)

October 2005:  The first week of September the annual "DBC" reunion was held at my home in Lake Barrington, IL, a suburb of Chicago.  It was five days of talking and eating.  We spent two days in Chicago seeing the sights including the new Millenium Park (which is great fun and like no other park), the Architectural Boat Tour on the Chicago River (a must do) and a night on the town.  We told everyone that would listen who we were and that we had graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School in 1948.  We hope "they" were impressed!

This picture was taken after a long day of touring and shopping so we're a little worse for the wear.  Not bad, considering!  Seated: (L to R) Ann Bowman McClymonds, Suzanne Divine Williams, Peggy Crissman Funkhouser and Nancy Fleming Godden holding my Italian Greyhound, Misty.  Standing: (L to R) Jeanne Vayda McCallum, Anne Mosites Miller, Mary Murrie Hardy and Ann Pritchard Evanson.

Barbara Adams Norris sent this picture of the latest "DBC" reunion in Stone Harbor, NJ, July 7th, 2003. (See picture below)

Ann's Biography - August 2003: In 1950 I married Fred Valicenti (Mt.L'46) and lived in Mt. Lebanon and Upper St. Clair for 23 years until his sudden death in 1973. We had three children: Rick (b.) 1951, Barbara (b.) 1953 and Bill, (b.) 1960.  A wonderful life for those 23 years!  Always members of the reunion planning committees for both 1946 and 1948.  Fred was a custom home builder and real estate broker and seemingly we knew everyone in town.  It was great fun. Shortly after Fred's death our son Rick graduated from college, married and went on to graduate school.  The other two children and I moved to the North Shore of Chicago where I joined my sister in her interior design business.  My parents also moved from Mt. Lebanon to Lake Forest, Illinois at the same time. In 1977 I met and married my present husband, Cliff Evanson, who had been widowed in 1975.  Another wonderful life for me and it's now been 26 years! Cliff had his own consulting engineering firm, TAB Engineers.  During the 1980's he was national president of the American Consulting Engineers Council and the National Technical Services Association and is a life member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.  We were fortunate to visit all of our 50 states; some many times.  Through my work I have also held offices in national and international interior design associations.  We have lived in Highland Park, Lake Bluff and Glencoe, all on Chicago's North Shore. In 1991 we "retired" to Sea Pines, Hilton Head Island, SC, where we were very involved in community affairs.  After college and marriage the children and their children had all settled in Barrington Hills, Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake, Illinois, respectively, all northwest suburbs of Chicago. Even though we enjoyed the resort living in South Carolina we felt the pull of family.  We returned north in 1997 to Lake Barrington Shores, a resort community too, but within fifteen to thirty minutes of all the children.  And again we are involved.  Cliff is president of our 120 unit condominium association.  There are a total of 1320 units here with a president of each 100 or so units.  18 holes of golf, tennis, pools and all the amenities and in Northern Illinois no less!  We play lots of bridge to keep our brains active and we walk the three miles around our lake to keep the bodies active.  Also, I am recent past-president of the Welcome Wagon Club of Barrington and continue to serve on their Board.  "Pritch"
