1956 Class Notes for 2019
Red Class of 1956
Dear Red class of 1956,
This letter will be short due to falls and old age. Petsy Flanagan O’Hora will be in England in July for her granddaughter, Mary’s wedding on July 6th. Mary is a Georgetown grad and speaks Italian fluently. Barbara Ronan O’Hern and I had a very nice conversation about a month ago. She is always so upbeat, so we enjoyed talking with each other. Lois O’Connor Vaughan and her husband, Jimmy, and I had a wonderful dinner on the Cape last summer with lots of laughing, but I did not see Joan Messineo Beck as she and her husband were busy in DC with grandchildren. Some of you knew Father Charles Gonzalez when he was an undergraduate at Georgetown. He was a great dancer. Lois and Jimmy attended his funeral in DC when he passed away in March.
Our amazing long term class president, Mary Jane Ryan Malone, remarked that she thinks classmates are status quo, no big changes lately but maintaining in our eighties. I, for one, cannot believe I am 84 years old. Wasn’t it only a few years ago we were at Trinity?
Peggy Shirley Corlew wrote that her parish finally finished rebuilding their church, which burned down several years ago. The parish is so happy with their new modern church.
Carol Cooney Barry keeps very busy with book club as well as other activities. Julie Whalen Considine likes the mayor of South Bend, IN, Pete Buttigieg, who is a candidate for President of the United States.
We certainly have a wide strong field, so choose your candidate and VOTE! Please send pictures or notes or news to me and I promise to be better organized next year.
Keep in touch all!
Love,
Peggy Collins Morgan
