Entry from 7/16/08:
Checking in again...turned 65 this year...as I assume most of you did. Still
riding horses, and foxhunting, but no jumping. Still gardening, still have
camera in hand and have started painting, mostly pastels. My brother Bill,
also know perhaps as the handsome devil, died in October 2007. My father is
94. I recently closed down the house and sold it. But with many of my ties
gone, I think of all of you often. There are few classes that have stayed so
connected. I have moved, married, and lived many places....but I am so glad
to have been in our class at that time. I read that we know ourselves best
in High School. What we think we want to do at that age is a "true" choice".
I have seen a lot of people, rich and famous among them.....but the group we
are is still the most honest and best, by far.
Onward and upward....

Just updating.......among other things I am still alive.....most of my time is split
between photograpy, the computer, the horses ( foxhunting) and gardening. My daughter
Andrea is married as of last Oct. 2004, teaching at Hofstra, a PHD.
I had my hip replaced Dec.17, 2004........have been riding 3 days a week....
Onward and upward .....

Previous entry:
Besides moving a lot over the last 40 years.......I have continued an interest in
photography and for the last 20 years or so have lived on farms keeping horses for
foxhunting and tending a flock of sheep and chickens. High points of the last decade have
been two trips to Africa on horseback safari and of course taking loads of pictures,
foxhunting in NJ, NY and Ireland watching my daughter grow in to a terric young woman who
is currently completing her PHD and teaching at Columbia University.
My current home in Millbrook NY is an hour and a half North of New York City and wild
enough so we have lost a Jack Russel Terrier to a coyote and have seen a bobcat cruising
through the back of the property. Best (or worst) of two worlds. |
