Description

My friend Karen Robertson is retiring from Vassar College. The President, Betsy Bradley (Elizabeth Howe Bradley), gave a dinner in her honor at her house. The invitees come from a list that the honoree gives to the president's office. I assume there is a prescribed number of invitations. Many people made toasts to Karen and talked about, among other things, how wonderful it was to team-teach with her. See the previous entry.
