At 91, Lois lives quietly, but she enjoys hearing from friends and former students. On the Sidoli's visit she was much taken with "Greta" (right) and with pictures of Greta's namesake, the screen beauty Greta Garbo.
Lois often sees relatives from the area and she enjoys recalling her days as a teacher. She was a "farm kid" who grew up in nearby Woodland, and she earned her MA at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.
Cards and notes are welcome: Miss Lois Body, Iroquois Resident Home, 200 East Fairman, Watseka, IL 60970. Many thanks to Harriett and Rom for conveying the good wishes of our class with their pictures, flowers, and visits.

Two of Miss Body's students from the early 1970s, Bill Cummings and Chuck McCaffrey, found this blog entry and wrote notes to her, asking me to pass them on. I did and would gladly do that for others. She really enjoys the fact that her students remember her so well.
