Libby attended Latin, Miss Porter's School and Bradford College. Libby lived in Denver for her adult life and leaves a great philanthropic legacy in the city. Libby grew up a 4H girl and operated her cattle ranch very successfully for 44 years. She cared deeply about land, about Northwestern Colorado and its preservation, and was active in her support of both. She was a reader and a contributor to High Country News, in pursuit of important issues that define the American West. 1965 Bill Arrott Joan Barrett Kellogg William Arrott Jr.'s grandson Anthony James, "A.J.," is working as a computer programmer for Twin Star Credit Union, serving all of Washington state and the Portland metropolitan area.

Lynn Reeves Baker passed away on July 25, 2018, after almost four years of a valiant fight against ovarian cancer. She sadly contracted a very bad case of pneumonia from which she did not recover. She was surrounded by family and friends, as well as her little dog, Foxy, who was brought to the hospital. Her family asks all to remember Lynn's generosity, kindness, accepting nature and great laugh. Alf Persson writes, "I have now celebrated one year of full retirement, but am as busy as before — and probably even more — as a board member of Transparency International Sweden fighting corruption. I also lecture on climate change and corruption for visiting foreign study groups from West and East Africa, and promote exchanges and cooperation as chairman of the Swedish Bhutan Society. I've traveled to conferences in Finland and Japan, have had assignments in Georgia (the country) and several other countries for cultural tourism; and of course, I came to the Latin 50th reunion. I also divide time between Stockholm and Paris homes to be close to our first grandson, who is three and a half years old. Retired but not tired is the motto! Best regards from Paris!" Deborah Schaub celebrated her 20th year as a fitness instructor at Northwestern Memorial Delnor Health and Fitness. 13 Michele Wanger Stone writes: "We just celebrated 48 years of marriage...we have two wonderful sons, two amazing daughters-in-law, three grandsons, two grandcats, two granddogs, one dog of our own, and a healthy life. ank goodness, all is good here in Miami. Come visit!" Lise Weil read from and discussed her new memoir "In Search of Pure Lust" at Barbara's Bookstore in Chicago on September 29.

While we love the city, adjusting to the summer heat has been a challenge. Chicago snow is suddenly not looking so bad. I continue to work at Microsoft selling our cloud computing platform, Azure." Jeffrey also noted that classmate Douglas Diamond, one of the world's leading authorities on bank runs and liquidity crises, won the prestigious Onassis Prize in Finance last April. Douglas, the Merton H. Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, "changed the way people view banks through his pioneering research, which laid the groundwork for how central bankers, regulators, policymakers and academics approach modern finance. His research agenda for the past 30 years has been to explain what banks do, why they do it and the consequences of these arrangements."
