Change of Location: fun at the Hiland Hall School.....
At the invitation of Jessica Howard, the Reunion locale has moved to the Hiland
Hall School (the old Ben Burry building on Route 7A) which is so evocative of
the Prospect School that you will weep with nostalgia! (see Pat Carini's letter
which follows).
A Note from Pat Carini:
When Sonya emailed me about the July 29 Prospect School Reunion, my "hurrah" for
that good news was sent flying back to her without delay! What a terrific idea,
I wrote. How can I help? How can Prospect help? Flushed with the warmth of
responses from so many of you to the news of the transfer of the Prospect
Archives to UVM -- and the enthusiasm for all Prospect's papers will contribute
to their Special Collections -- I was already imagining the kind of day we could
all look forward to:
Big albums of photographs assembled lovingly by Anne Wallace-Senft and Harda
Bradford picturing every "generation" of Prospect children and teachers-- just
waiting for you to re-discover yourself, your classmates, and your memories.
Movies, lots of them, transcribed for video by Dorothy Wallace-Senft and her
father, Nathan. A chance to build with the very Prospect blocks you vied for as
a child in their new home at The Hiland Hall School (Jessica Howard, Principal
and Teacher). The opportunity to re-live at Hiland Hall so much of what you
experienced at Prospect: Jessica's round calendar, the timeline, the aquarium,
the works by children adorning the walls and shelves, including a mural wall --
and most of all, the presence in the very wood work of a community of children.
Don't miss this wonderful celebration. Do come -- and do bring your memories and
your families. Think of all the fun we'll have as, after all these years,
Prospect reassembles and the stories abound. A warm welcome to each of you --
and to us all -- and with many, many thanks to Sonya and Elsie for making it all
possible, an d to Jessica for making her school available. See you there -- and
don't forget your camera!
Pat Carini.
