A Special Thanks from Leon Bryant H ’92 n “I would very much like to thank all of those associates, students, and peers of mine from my many years at Pine Crest for their kind words, thoughts, and memories following the death of my daughter, Sara Bryant Smith ’90, last September 30. She was a remarkable young woman who took her Pine Crest background and forged a creative and successful career. She surrounded herself with loving, caring people who will never forget her ready smile, whimsical ways, and her courage. So many of you had a hand in her becoming who she was, so many have expressed condolences in myriad ways. She remains in our hearts always, and she made me proud that I was her father. Thank you, thank you.” Leon Bryant H ’92 Retired Pine Crest Fine Arts Department Chair; 1967-2006
