Our son, Peter and his family are in New Zealand for a year. There is a
shortage of doctors in New Zealand, and our daughter-in-law, Mary
Beth, a Family Medicine Doc, signed a one year contract to serve as
a physician in Darfield NZ, near Christ Church in the Southern Island.
They have had a great adventure exploring New Zealand and Australia
on days off. Now Mary Beth is on the front line with the Corona Virus,
but is doing well. Our daughters are home from daycare and Peter is the head teacher in exploring arts and crafts, music and drama, nature, and academic
primary skills.

John and i closed Tidewater Way, our retreat center four years ago. We had become too successful and admitted that we were tired. We put it on the market (interested in buying a beautiful property on the coast of Maine???) and moved to town. From Newcastle it is a ten minute walk across the bridge to Damariscotta - a town we have loved for over 30 years. It has everything!
On June 14th our son, Peter, married Mary Beth at Camp O-AT-KA in Sebago, Maine (photos attached) On May 30, 2016 our granddaughter, Annie, was born
(and yes, photos attached.

As a majorette, we often twirled fire at night games.
Each of us had a "fire aid" whatever, it was called -
someone to help us light up. My aid was my dear
friend, Amy Friedman. Somehow after one game,
we left her behind. Horrors! Was it Shaw High Amy?

I don't see any classmate regularlyl Those I'm still
in touch with are Penny Deutsch, Amy Friedman,
Wendy (Heyduk) Cors, and Vivi (Veras) Demas and Marty Axelrod.
