CONGRATULATIONS TO SUSAN AND JAIRO PRADO on the birth of a beautiful baby girl: Maya Sequoia Prado. She arrived April 30, 2009; 7 pounds, 9 1/4 ounces, and 19 1/2 inches in length; perfectly beautiful and with lots of dark hair!
THE GUILD SENDS LOVE and SYMPATHY to Mitchell Chamberlain on the recent death of his father.
MIMI WALSH had back surgery not long ago but is making great progress toward recovery.
MARION BROQUIST'S HUSBAND, HARRY, continues to be quite ill.
STANLEY RABOLD, husband of our late member, JEANETTE RABOLD, passed away recently. He had moved out west to be near their sons.
MADELINE REED called recently and gave me an update on her situation. Because she suffered a broken ankle months ago, she has been in a wheel chair most of this school year. She continued to teach however as soon as she was able to return to school. She will teach one class in the fall and then retire. Madeline was Director of the Art Department at Watkins for a long while and served one term as President of the Guild. She plans to spend lots of time with her art work after retiring.
MARGO SEBELIST is still quite ill and must have round- the- clock care. She is still living at her daughter's home in Bellevue.
MARILYN BRISBOIS' mother is seriously ill and Marilyn has been caring for her. Her mother lives in another state and is unable to travel to Marilyn's home in Murfreesboro.
KIM CADY'S father will be going in for lung cancer surgery after his recent successful surgery for bladder cancer. Kim is her father's sole caretaker.
Please remember those who are ill or who are facing difficult family situations.
Be happy and rejoice for the birth of little Maya Prado !!
