Throwback Thursday: this 1983 Washington Post article about Mary Washington College.

If you’re one of my alumni and you’re looking for a smile today, check out this this 1983 WaPo piece about campus life at Mary Washington College. It was written by Mary Battiata on the school’s 75th anniversary.

“Ebola New York.” Those are three words I’d never thought I’d have to google. :-(

This piece from the Washington Post is somewhat more reassuring than the headlines I’ve scanned at the supermarket.
