down by the old Mill Stream

My high school alma mater festooned the 1890-built bridge across the Mill Stream, which meanders through the center of the campus, with a fabric display of performance art.  A big sign advertising the kick-off of a new $35 million capital campaign kind of spoiled it.  Can we do beauty just for the sake of beauty?  Because humans do beauty?  You can google "bridges wrapped in fabric" to see other examples.  But I'm proud of what my artist classmate, Emmet Murphy, did this evening.

school again

Two schools are making an impact on our family this week. Today Lancaster Mennonite begins as photo shows. Thursday Eastern Mennonite Seminary begins and Dorcas will move her allegiance there for a semester. Photo by LNP.

Dorcas gets 15-year recognition

Last evening Lancaster Mennonite School honored Dorcas for fifteen years of service.

Here's a scan of an offset of a photo. Don't try that at home. A request for the original file is in the works. In the meantime I had to show this pic. That's Dorcas, second from left facing camera, at the Dec. 2 ribbon cutting at the dedication of the new Rutt Academic Center at Lancaster Mennonite School.
