I had no idea she was interred here until walking past he plot last week. Her marker can be found along the pond next to the bridge and the weeping cherry tree- a very nice spot!
Tim and Mike - thank you so much for pointing this marker out to me - as a member of the History Committee I cannot think of a more important note to add to Hazel's mention that she was made a CBE by the Queen due to her work in establishing the Wightman Cup.
As an Irishman, of course, I completely disavow any allegiance to the Crown, but, in this instance, I think they "done good".
I have passed this picture and my comments along to Gordon Martin, the Committee Chair, and he concurs with my assessment that this picture is worthy of inclusion into our updated history.
Thanks to both Tim and Mike - I will bring Baysie up to date when I see her next.
I do like the idea of bestowing meritorious awards to LCC employees, along the lines of the CBE - I think it might lend a certain "Je ne sais quois" to our otherwise staid appellations.
A few examples follow:
Fred Groen - MOAT (Master of All Things) Larry Wolf - ASBNS (Always Smiling but Not Sweating) Mike Buras - SLDAG (Smells Like Dirt and Grass) Paul Noonan - KMHEWB) (Keeps Members Happy Even When Busy) Tony Bush - YUM - Self explanatory
