From lef To d an y, ndra McHenr McHenr y ’56, Sa people differ are more important than the ways they are the same.’ From Theodate Pope Riddle I learned that handmade buildings have a soul. I also learned self-sufficiency and responsibility by studying on my own and preparing for tests. This part has been huge and leads to effective problem solving later on. I am so fortunate to have attended Avon and Fessenden before it. Private school is the way and Avon Old Farms is tops!” WHIT BLAKELEY has made Atlanta home for
