I am healthy, restless and still actually blonde.” Judy Walker McGuirt writes, “Final- izing plans to attend the April REunion and hopeful many classmates are too! My previously noted move to childhood home in Miami Springs is ‘on hold’ so I will be traveling from my ‘Humble’ home in Texas!

My grandsons, David (13) and Mason (8), and granddaughter, Violet (7), prove that being a grandparent is such fun. Following the passing of my previous spouse, David King, I am now married to Morse McWilliams. Morse practiced law here in Atlanta before retiring. I enjoy watching how Ransom Everglades is evolving. It makes me proud! What an amazing school it has become.” Lili Krech Neale writes, “On behalf of the Everglades School for Girls Class of 1969, we send our deepest sympathy to our former French teacher, Christel Marin, in the loss of her life partner, Jerry Exum. We also send our condo- lences to all the family and the many friends and students of Jerry Exum (see RE Log , Fall 2022, page 90, In Loving Memory). “Our class also sends deepest sympathy to the family of Eleanor R. Backman, known to us affectionately as our English teacher, Eleanor R. Eckel, who lived to the remarkable age of 103. Our Everglades Class of 1969 dedicated the Excelon 1969 yearbook to her (see RE Log , Fall 2022, page 90, In Loving Memory). “Dear Everglades School For Girls Class of 1969, please SAVE THE DATE in 2024, one year from now, for our 55th REunion, to enjoy a wonderful Alumni Reunion Weekend in Miami, April 19- 20, 2024.
