I have learned from colleague  Hilde Betonte that her husband Anthony is recovering from surgery for a brain tumor which will require a long recuperation period.  Notes and encouragement and prayers will be supportive to both Hilde and Anthony.  Please note in your Directory this updated physical address:  81 Valley Forge Circle, Fairmont, West Virginia, 26554.  Hilde’s e-mail address is hbetonte@gmail.com

In 2019, Hilde and her daughter Kimberly Swallow joined the Fall Sojourn.  What a delight to reconnect with Hilde  from early 5^th City days and to meet her remarkable daughter.  Hilde’s writing about time in the Christian Faith and Life Community and about their assignments around the world is captured in the link below, as well as updates on their children.   

(If you forget the link, go to the ICAarchives website and Search for Betonte.  It will direct you to  Publications.  Scroll to the bottom under Memoirs.)

Both daughters Kim and Lisa have reflected on their experiences in The Academy in Brussels,  which will be posted on the website soon. 

With care and support for this family,

Lynda Cock
