The outpouring of sympathy and support makes me wonder if another loss might not be known by our class. Last spring I was stunned to learn that Nancy Mallet Fry passed away a year ago. She and I reunited at Wells College, but I neglected to keep up with her. In the months leading up to our 50th Wells Reunion in June I intended to seek her out and rekindle our old friendship, but I delayed. Then a notice appeared in our Wells College Bulletin that she had passed away September 23, 2016. Why did I allow so much time to slip away? Since this news came through Wells College, I assumed that Oxford was also informed, but maybe not. Nan died of congestive heart failure. It was completely unexpected. She lived in Cabin John, Maryland with her husband, David Fry, a woodworking artist.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>David Fry</span></i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>6512 79th Place</span></i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>Cabin John, Maryland 20818</span></i><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>I have attached an obituary from the Washington Post and another piece describing her writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>With regrets,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'>Carol Doty Kalauskas<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
