school and high school in Briarcliff and has BS from Cornell in food
science.
SUMMARY OF TALK
Nathan gave a visual history of the stone statues in Briarcliff, including
ones in front of the Congregational Church and its parish. The stone
lanterns were apparently purchased by Walter Law, the founder of
Briarcliff, from missionaries from Japan, but were originally made in China
with animal decorations which meant different things. One was originally
at The King's College. (All in all a very surprising history of the stone
statues and those in Briarcliff.)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Via Eric, the Briarcliff Bears Basketball Team are champions!
FRIDAY SPEAKER is Dave Mann who will talk about his service in the Army in
Europe during World War II, and what he fought for
unless it is snowing hard, then Sy will give an update on the Middle East,
if he and Elinor can overcome any snow.
TEXT, Elinor, helper, Sy
