RE Log - Spring 2020

48 Ransom Everglades LOG SPRING 2020 Class Notes 1970 REUNION YEAR Class Agents: Gail Beckham ( gailbeckham@gmail.com) , Melinda Cowen (melinda@cowendesign.com) , Lucretia McDougal Scudder (creescudder@gmail.com ) Darn … by now, we thought our cup would have runneth over … But we still haven’t heard from some of our class- mates!!! For those of you who haven’t responded … we hope you will recon- sider. After all, we have some interesting opportunities to visit with one another, plus available lectures coordinated by Ransom Everglades. We think the social opportunities will be fun: • Dotty Matheson has a delicious din- ner for all of us at her home on Saturday evening. • There are bound to be some nostalgic moments on the Everglades Campus, which now houses the middle school. We each knew that Everglades was a grand institution, but what has trans- pired in the last 50 years with the new expanded Ransom Campus is truly amazing. Everything is set up and we would truly enjoy your being with us to celebrate our 50-year reunion. Why not contact one of your Everglades’ friends and see if she is attending. You two can arrive together and catch up after the first 50 years of separation! (We can also share the Class of ’70 RSVP list … we have no secrets.) Mark your calendar: April 17 & 18, 2020. Please contact Vicki Williamson VWilliamson@ransomeverglades.org for more information. And, know that Gail, Melinda and Cree are available at any time to fill in any details you might be interested in! Nancy Davis and Gail Beckham traveled to Alaska this past summer. See above right for a photo of the dynamic duo. Cree McDougal Scudder exhibited her artwork in the show, “Over the Rainbow and Out of the Box,” last fall at BluSeed Studios in Saranac Lake, N.Y. See one of her pieces below. Deborah London Wright is celebrat- ing 42 years as an ordained Presbyterian minister in San Francisco (and the first clergy wom- an in San Francisco). She writes, “History shows Christianity erupts and creates a new way of being every 500 years. I have been working for the last decade apply- ing Adaptive Change Leadership and Positive Deviance theory, creating new models for church, at the 500th anniver- sary of the birth of Protestantism.” 1971 Class Agent: Debi Yohn (drdebiyohn@me.com) 1972 Class Agents: Leslie Wakefield Buchanan (Tkdlb52@aol.com ), Sarah Miller (sjm2go@gmail.com ) Helen Blakeley Wessling (Beatty) , see In Loving Memory 1973 Please consider becoming a class agent.
