Family Photos
Ken and Marvina Kastner are escaping the St. Louis winter in Florida and Natale and
her husband Joe joined them near Sarasota at the Columbia Restaurant on
St. Armands Circle. Natale and Joe live in Winterhaven, Florida.
Visiting their extended family at Westminster Place in the Central West End are
Betty Jaeger Portmann and Jim (front row right). Betty has been upgraded from
very stable recently to VERY VERY Stable. This was at Christmas and Betty is now
strong enough to do gardening, hiking, bird watching and cooking. What a great way
to begin the new year!!
Judy Morse Harrington with grandson Antonio, son of daughter
Christy.
Judy Morse Harrington with husband John and grandson Jack, child of Judy and
John's son Tom at Thanksgiving. They live in East Setauket, N.Y.
Marilyn Hardt Felter and husband Dick chose this photo from a vacation in San Diego
for their Christmas card. On the right end is son Rich, their daughter-in-law, Jack
Julier's daughter, and two grandsons.
Just before Thanksgiving, Helen Ziercher and Sam Bertolet rented
a chateau for a week with 6 other people in the south of France for the
purpose of sight-seeing and eating! They then spent 3 days in Paris.
Years ago Norm and Charlotte Fott retired to Granbury, TX where
Norm teaches parttime and lives the ranching life he always dreamed
of. Here they are with Carly Skipper and Zippy. Have you seen some
of the past photos of Norm in rodeos?
Jane Krauss Hibbetts on Christmas morning with grandchildren at son Mike's house
in Houston. Jane is in Assisted Living in Webster, TX a suburb of Houston. A widow,
Jane manages an actiive life in spite of years of living with MS.
Why are these two our "strangest" classmates couple?
Because they went through the Ladue School system and didn't
know each other. Paul Ware and Marilyn Butler met AFTER
they graduated from Ladue! Here are some photos from their
recent 50th anniversary trip which included Niagra Falls where
they went on their honeymoon.
Sandy Smith Kilbride, daughter Meg and granddaughter
Gwen taken recently where Sandy lives in Florida. Sandy
made the trip to our mini reunion.
Ruth Richter Heyne j-u-s-t missed the reunion. She and husband Herb are visiting
with old friends Lorna Meier Arbet and Jim Portmann. You probably know that
Lorna and Jim are first cousins. Ruth and Herb split time between Wisconsin and Florida.
Gary and his grandchildren last Fall. Gary is retired and lives in Marblehead, MA.
Here is Helen Ziercher and Sam Bertolet (you can meet him
at the reunion!) at the Lyndon Johnson Museum and Library
on the UT campus in Austin. They have been visiting all of the
presidential libraries around the country.
PLEASE SEND SOME PHOTOS!

"Yeah, right...."

They are not at large anymore, but it took so much work to put this headline
together, I can't bear to erase it......
