RE Log - Fall 2021

FALL 2021 Ransom Everglades LOG 69 Jane Dolkart, Kitty Proenza and Marian Turk took part in Virtual Alumni Day as the esteemed and respected judges of the very first Alumni Poetry Competition. It meant so much to the participants for this trio to review the incredible poems sent in by alumni. Each one selected a poem to read to our audience and, thanks to Zoom, we got to experience them “live.” Jane, Kitty and Marian joined Associate Head of School Dr. John A. King, Jr., and Dan Leslie Bowden’s grandnephew Thomas Bowden, who joined from Columbus, Ga. They read poems by Kit Pancoast Nagamura ’77, Karina Rudra ’20 and Sally Nims Seaman ’70 Everglades.
