International House Times 15 was the one, and after more than 50 years, she still is. I made lifetime friends at I-House: Stuart Pawsey (IH 1964- 66) and Glenda Pawsey (IH 1965-67), and my departed friends, Shannon Flynn (IH 1967), Maureen Haight (IH 1966-74), and Keith Haight (IH 1967-68)."

Alumni News & Notes 1950s Mina Parsont (IH 1954-56) writes, "I am a hidden child of the Holocaust. My sister and I were hidden in a little town called Chabanais near Limoges in France. We survived the Holocaust, thanks to a very courageous Christian family, who risked their lives by hiding us. ey sheltered us twice, and the second time lasted for six months. We looked for their five children for many years, and we had our first reunion with them in August of 1998 after 52 years! I am now 83, and a retiree after a long teaching career. Since my retirement, I've spent most of my time with my grandchildren."
