A
note from: Pat Hennin Quilty.
I
cannot participate in the reunion activities as I am limited to a rolling walker
w/seat and cannot get around well. I need help to get things etc. I sit always.
It is all due to the polio I have always had (yes even in high school), but now
have gotten worse as it is now "post polio syndrome".
I
try to keep as busy as I can, I do drive but as I said I am limited as to what I
can do. Also don't have much stamina as I tire easily. (feel like an old
party poop) :)
I
write children stories (that I have never sent to even be looked at by a
publisher) but people and children tell me they are wonderful (even the Acton
librarian). I also play at art. I do mixed media, collage and acrylics. I used
to use oils but they are too dangerous to ones health so have made the change. I
have sold many pieces.
I
am a widow now for 22 years, my wonderful husband passing away from an Agent
orange cancer from Vietnam in 1991. I have 2 adult children, one in Fla. and the
married one in Westboro who is soon moving to N.C., but alas no grandkids.
I still live in same house in Acton, now for 36 years. Probably need to
move to a condo, but here I still am.
I
have seen the changes in Concord over the years. It will be something when
the new interchange will be finished at Crosby's corner.
I
guess this has turned into a mini newsletter. You can pass the info along to
whoever is handling news, or post it somewhere if you have a place. I do have
facebook where I have a pic of me. Not sure how to share that unless I am "friended".
If
there is some way I feel I can manage to come to Maurer's for a bit, I will try.
That
same weekend my 101 mother in law is moving to her daughters in Fla. so do want
to spend as much time with her as I can before she moves.
So
that is my update. I am sure you all will have a great time!
Sincerely,
Pat Hennin Quilty
