Bryn Mawr was something Margie and I had in common. She recruited me. Late in life she said she wondered if I'd have been better off at Radcliffe. I think the answer was no, as it was then. The support for intellectual endeavor and cussed individualism stood us both in good stead.
Mrs. Z was my Latin teacher when I was in elementary school at Willowwind. I remember her as a kind woman with an unyielding interest in helping us learn. She was a wonderful role model. As a child you so often don't imagine that your teachers have lives outside of the classroom. It is a delight to read about her accomplishments now that I am an adult.
I was a member of the French Conversation Group which operated through the University Club and I remember with fondness sitting around Margaret`s dining room table and reading book in French. It was such fun and educational.
Sorry to hear of Margaret's passing. She was one of my Cub mothers when I was in Cub Scouts about 60 years ago. She also boarded me for two weeks while my father was hospitalized with a serious operation about the same time. She was a friend throughout the years and I will miss talking with her. Sincerely, Karl (and Dorothy) Armens, Iowa City.
Always enjoyed time at the house on Court Street. You were always a friend, Rob. Loved listening to you play the violin even in elementary. My younger daughter is now a choral and orchestra teacher in TX. a great calling. Let me know when you get back to IC.
Our thoughts are with you. I very fondly remember visiting with Margaret in Iowa in the late 1980's when our family took a cross country road trip. Dave and Shirley Goodwill and family
