On what Wells meant to her: "I think the one thing I will always remember about Wells is the terrific, lasting friendships I made. When I talk to other people, they just don't have the same feeling about their alma maters as my friends and I do about Wells."
On why she feels it's important to support Wells: "My parents had to sacrifice to give me the opportunity to go to college, so when I think about my four years at Wells, I feel those four years were truly a special gift. Now that I am in a more financially secure position, I feel that it is important to help others students experience the same wonderful education I experienced. It makes me feel very good to know that I will be able to help other students enjoy the unique Wells experience."
On why she chose her will to remember Wells: "From an estate planning point of view, it just made good sense to include Wells. There are obvious tax advantages, and I felt this was an ideal way to make my largest single gift to the school. It's hard to believe some of the most important times of my life occurred over 50 years ago, but by including Wells in my will, I know that I will be helping other young women share that same experience for some time to come. I feel that it is a privilege to make a commitment to Wells. It is my way of giving a little back where I took so much - it's a wonderful feeling."
