Yes, Mary likes to "Walk In The Forest" to look at wildflowers and also to go “shrooming” with Eva Breckenridge.  And she likes to swim at 0730 every day in the summer with the “Turtles” across Beebe Pond in Hubbardton, Vermont.  She is the Head Snapper out of the original five that included Florence Mason, Jody Zeoli, Bev Grald, and Barb Cooley. Barbara Dellamonte and Anne Holland are now regulars.

Yes, she is a voracious reader, and likes to listen to book tapes.  But what Mary likes best, is being a NANA to our nine grand children.
