A Visit to Two Villages
Probably about a dozen years ago while the College was still in closure mode we had what was termed the “Board Pro Tem”. It was like a group or a Board of Trustees waiting in the wings to undertake the work of bringing back a closed college with a great legacy (even during a Great Recession that began in 2008).
At a publicly open Board meeting in the Herndon Gallery it was mentioned that there was a sizable amount of money delegated for masonry work. As the Board was made up of Antiochians it did what Antiochians do. Have a deep discussion!
