I heard from our classmate Shelley Wagar this time around and she had lots of awesome news to share! She writes, “Dave and I moved to South Carolina in May so we could be closer to my daughter, son-in-law and our new grandbaby, Madelyn.  She was born in December and brings us so much joy with her smiles. I retired in early May and recommend it to all. Love the free time to work outside and do whatever pops into my mind. Dave has been retired for 12 years so we are busy planning some camping trips out west. Our goal is Alaska next summer. And to top off what has been an awesome year so far is that Dave and I got married at the end of May. Very simple ceremony in our backyard. Life is very, very good and I am blessed with all that has taken place. I hope all is well with the rest of the Class of ‘83!” Life with me, Mary Townley, is going well.  I’m still running a non-profit (www.thenextmoveprogram.com) and Carol is happy working at Virginia Commonwealth University running the Autism Center for Excellence.  Our daughter, Emily, enters her senior year at Roanoke College this fall with a Psychology Major and an Art History Minor.  She was lucky to spend two weeks in Kenya in mid-May as a part of her college coursework after spending the fall semester in Perugia, Italy.  Yes, she has the travel bug! Take care everyone!
