What to my little ole eyes did appear, On CBS yesterday morning, John DuBerry (Adams, class of '60). Subject of newscast was about adults becoming orphans. John's spot was about 30 seconds, just had time to holler to Mom, and he was gone.
I was checking out this web site and realized that I am listed as living in
Australia. I returned from Australia several years ago after a great stay.
I am now living on Hilton Head Island. My address is Clara (Koenigsberg) Lloyd

I have been in contact with Peggy Huber Lawrey and she informed me of some of the things going on. Last year at the time of the reunion Bill and I were in Greece. Anita Burke Whitney, who is my Mom's cousin and a good friend, went to the reunion and informed me about it.
Bill and I moved to Hilton Head 4 and a half years ago and love it here. The low country and the ocean are terrific. I go back to Liberty several times a year to visit my Mom. My Dad died in 1989. My older sister , Audrey, died 2 years ago this coming June. I have two children living in New York City. No grandchildren though.
I knew about John Adams (Quincey) mother and actually have visited with his Dad a couple of years ago. I had a nice visit with John shortly after Audrey died. He is a great grief counselor. Anita visited my mom just a couple of weeks ago and John was in Liberty.
I lived in Sydney , Australia for two years and it was marvelous. Sunshine, water and lots of interesting things to do.
