“My years at Hobart and William Smith were a unique time in my life. I came to the campus as it was erupting with anti-war fervor, women's liberation was flowering and students were demanding a voice in the decisions that affected them on campus. I started to learn who I was, how the world worked or didn't, what it meant to think critically and how to have fun! I learned about music, politics, art, religion and partying. So I give to honor the experiences I had and the people I met then, the journey I took and where I've arrived today and the many friends I still have from those days. Giving to the Colleges is as much a contribution to the future as it is a thank you for a time now past that was wonderful, painful and transformational.”
