Kevin Fitch

 Sheila and I are celebrating our 54th anniversary on December 19 in Naples . We have enjoyed renewing our friendship with Bob Jacobson and his wife Debby. We have dinner several times each season. All three of our children and families visit us in season. I have finished three orthopedic surgeries the result of being hit from behind by a truck. Otherwise good health. Thankful for the continued 80 degree days. 

Merry Christmas to all Kevin

 Marsha and I have had an eventful year, selling our home in Paradise Valley, AZ back in January, putting our worldly goods in storage for a long stretch, and renting a small air bnb in Scottsdale while we decided what was next in our emeritus years.  After a lot of looking, dreaming, and driving across country visiting kids and friends, we bought a nice place at Ford’s Colony in Williamsburg, VA, and moved here in late summer. We’re not too far from my kids and grandkids in Richmond and Charlottesville, and Virginia Beach is close enough for weekends, too. Our home looks out over acres of lakes, golf holes, water birds like blue herons, gulls, Canada geese, and even the occasional bald eagle.  It’s peaceful here with a nice feeling of space, four seasons and history.  Here’s the new address:

191 Waterton
Williamsburg, VA 23188

 Penrose Jackson (Penny Zimmerman).  Greetings from the northern reaches of Vermont ... I’ve been married to Schuyler (Jackson) for 41 years as of Thanksgiving and we’ve lived in our small but cherished home in Hinesburg since moving in eight days post ceremony.  My first husband (David Gearin) and I never figured out how to have kids, but marrying Schuyler gave me a ready-made family of four steps:  one son and three daughters (teenagers living with their mom in Amherst).  Time passed and there are seven grandchildren, one great grandchild on the way (next May), three marriages that survived “forever,” one successful remarriage, and one death (the husband of the middle daughter who died from a rarer than rare blood cancer a bit over a year ago).  I stay active professionally (trying to launch a public health institute in Vermont, some other consulting) and as a volunteer on several boards including the Vermont Foodbank and the Vermont Historical Society.  When my back allows (physical therapy is helping ... a lot!), I garden and play passable golf in the warmer months.  My health is quite good, as is that of my 90 year old hubby who as I write is driving somewhere in Vermont in the employ of Vital Delivery Services, a statewide 24 hour delivery service. 

 

Best holiday and New Year’s wishes.
