Nona (Figgatt) Emery Previous Next Roll Call
01/05/08 - Memories of the war years
I remember the day FDR died because most people in Chappaqua had cocktail
parties and celebrated (that's what I heard!) except for my parents and a
handful of others... Read More

The reason I have been slow in responding is that my computer died- Clyde loves analyzing and correcting computers- but at the present time I am unable to email photos etc... Read More

Thanks for all your efforts at making the re-union come together so
spectacularly.
I am so regretful that I was not able to be there.
I am enjoying all the photos, and talked to Jane Kett at great length about
all of you who attended and your life stories.
My husband Clyde and I had a outstanding trip to the Balkans, including
Albania, Bosnia, Maceonia, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria and Hungary.
Lots of monastaries, basilicas, Roman ruins and more recent ruins. That area
of the world has suffered more than its share of brutality, often instigated
by the great powers situated around them. If we ever get our thousands of
photos organized I will email some. We experienced some white-knuckle
driving, especially in Albania where no one has driven more than ten years,
and they drive down one-lane roads in their stolen Mercedes, three-in a row,
at about 120mph. We survived.
I don't see any site with tel#'s or email addresses. I wanted to contact
Judy Fay Wilson, Donahue etc. I had some great times with her in the past
but lost contact since she lived in Lompoc. It was obvious then that she was
an extremely gifted writer and person- what a life she has led! Do you have
any contact addresses or numbers for her? I would like to read some of her
work.
What a class we had. I remember at our last re-union thinking what an
unusually good piece of humanity you all are! And seem to get better with
age.
Thanks again Bill, for helping to put it together and also for your
creative, hilarious entertaining communications! It seems you have led a
most interesting life too, which was not unpredicted.
Fondly, Nona Emery
