Valerie Saxton Sharpe writes: I enjoy reading about my fellow alums and seeing their many amazing accomplishments. I recently co-authored a book, with Roberta Strosnider, titled The Executive Function Guidebook: Strategies to Help All Students Achieve Success. It was published by Corwin in April, and the ISBN number is 9781544379289. I received my B.A. in Special Education in May, 1976 from Hood. Dr. Carla Lyon was my advisor with whom I continue to remain friends. My program at Hood prepared me well and opened the doors to many wonderful opportunities. One such opportunity was the privilege of serving as adjunct faculty at Hood for many years. After a full career in the field, I am still involved in special education currently as a consultant providing training in teaching executive function skills to psychologists, social workers, teachers, paraeducators, parents and students. David and Linda Fox-Jarvis are doing well in Virginia Beach. Linda has been practicing real estate for 36 years. She recently moved to Berkshire Hathaway Towne Realty. Her daughter Stephanie joined her as partner about ten years ago. It really is special working with family and passing along the business. Stephanie has a real talent for the field. David retired about two years ago. He keeps busy with projects around the house, golfing, and watching their 18-month-old granddaughter once a week. Speaking of their granddaughter, Carter Wynne has changed their lives! Most of you know — being grandparents is so much fun! Linda and David’s daughter and son-in-law live less than a mile away (which is so nice). Their son, Brian, lives with his wife in Fairfax and works for Amazon Web Services, so he is not too far away either. Linda and David are looking forward to a family trip in August to Oregon to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Both kids, their spouses, and Carter Wynne will be joining. If anyone is visiting Virginia Beach, give Linda a call! Mary Alice Peeling’s big news is that she retired from Delaware Law School Library on June 30th—after almost 40 years. She looks forward to having time to volunteer, see friends and catch up on quilting projects. Congratulations, Murie! Barb Woolmington and Craig have finally started building their new (and final) home in Weaverville, NC. It is a small community about fifteen minutes north of Asheville. They love Asheville … but apparently so do many other people. The traffic all around the city is getting more congested every year. The Smiths left California for several reasons, heavy traffic being one of them. They didn’t want to repeat that in their new community, so they decided to head a little out of the city—but not so far that they cannot pop in for an evening of dinner and theater. They went to St Croix, USVI in March and were able to visit with Brad and Gail Lippert Ebersole while there. Lovely sailing and just a little snorkling. In May the Smiths traveled to Los Angeles to visit their youngest and to help celebrate his 30th birthday. Both of Craig and Barb’s children are doing well, Harrison is in Los Angeles and Alisha is in Portland, OR. Both are gainfully employed, but there are no grandchildren yet. They stayed on the West Coast when Barb and Craig moved east, so they don’t get to see them as often as they would like. Their new home will have a lovely guest room for anyone who wants to visit Asheville and would like a place to stay. Larry and I, Nancy Ludwick Warrenfeltz, flew to Los Angeles in April for a Navy reunion in Thousand Oaks. We visited the Ronald Reagan Library, Malibu, Hollywood, and Solvang. It was a fun trip! Every June we spend two weeks at OBX with family … priceless memories with our grandkids! Please email me your Hood news. I will include it in the next publication. Thanks!
