Philly Mini-Reunion Fall 2013

Submitted by Nony Barr, October 2, 2013

Mountain Day visit to Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton, NJ.   Sherry Welles Urner, Alice McGovern Doering, and Nony Moore Barr had been negotiating for weeks to find a good day when all 3 and their husbands could meet to explore this wonderful sculpture park and enjoy lunch together at Rat’s, the award-winning restaurant adjacent to the park.  Pure coincidence that we picked Oct.1st, which was Mountain Day at MHC.  The weather was perfect and we had a great time.  (Remember to click on photo for enlargement.)

 

Philly Group visits Swarthmmore Gardens

Winter, 2013.   Nony Moore Barr writes that part of their mini-reunion was a tour of some of the gardens created and maintained by the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore college.  They were joined during their informal lunch by Swarthmore College Dean of Students Liz Braun, former Dean of Students at Mount Holyoke.  Liz has very fond memories of her years in South Hadley, and it was interesting to talk with her about some of the differences between a women’s college and a co-ed college.

Claire Sawyers, Director of the Scott Arboretum, led them on a tour of the central part of the campus.
