Now that you’ve been out a while, how do you feel about George School? Susie: George School was an important part of my life and important to my growth. I met some great friends. Elizabeth: I miss it. It was small enough that everyone knew everyone but big enough that if you wanted to seek out different people with different interests, you could. It was a great experience to all grow up together. Why do you feel it’s important to give to George School? Elizabeth: George School encouraged “giving back” from the day we got there, through shift. Writing a check is certainly easier than shift. Susie: I was back for my tenth reunion. We hope to point our class reunion gift toward energy improvements. I’m really proud that George School is staying close to the cutting edge when it comes to environmental sustainability. Why do you enjoy being part of the Loyalty Challenge? Susie: It’s great that it doesn’t require a particular amount of money but just that you take part. Coming from Paul and Pam was added encouragement. I’ve known the Machemers since I was little. I had them both as teachers, and Kate was in my class. I love Pam, but clearly I want George School to win. Elizabeth: Actually, our brother and a lot of our extended family went to Westtown. We are the only two family members who went to George School. It’s a good-natured rivalry. Susie graduated from Boston College and now lives in Seattle Washington where she owns and runs a coworking space called Office Nomads, for independent workers and telecommuters. A University of Virginia alumna, Elizabeth lives in Washington DC, and works for the federal government. She loves yoga and hanging out with her two children, whom Aunt Susie describes as “the cutest kids on earth.” * The Loyalty Challenge, is modeled after the annual George School– Westtown athletic rivalry known as the Patterson Cup or “The Moose.” The Challenge is an annual-giving participation competition between recent graduating classes of the two schools. This competition was the brainchild of faculty members Paul (GS ’65) and Pam (Westtown ’64) Machemer and the winning school receives the coveted Machemer Cup each year.
