"Wells College is very much a part of who I am. I care deeply about its mission as a small women's liberal arts college. I am particularly grateful for my recent experience serving on the Board of Trustees, because it was a chance to learn in more detail about Wells today. That time increased my dedication to the college and my respect for the job Wells continues to do in educating young women. Attending my fiftieth Reunion was also a wonderful experience and told me a lot about a great group of past graduates. I believe the current undergraduates are worthy successors, and that Wells is flourishing, and deserving of support.
Hugh has always joined me over the years in being supportive of Wells as we were able. At the time of the last capital campaign we wanted to help more financially. We were pleased to find a way to do it through the Pooled Income Fund, which made it possible for us to give a highly appreciated stock, receive a helpful tax deduction, and continue to receive a steady income. An added advantage for us is that we can increase our gift to the Pooled Income Fund at any time. In the future, if we decide we will not need to depend on that income, it can be directed immediately to Wells. This was clearly the best way for us to give more than we could have otherwise."
