In Their Own Words
Every gift is unique. On behalf of Winsor, we would like to thank all of our donors for their generosity and support. Here are some of their stories.
 Emily Leadbetter Althausen ’58
“I’ve always wanted to find a way to contribute to Winsor’s
future—to ensure its vision remains alive and well. For me, Winsor
is the most wonderful place for a girl to grow into her ‘personal best,’ spiritually,
intellectually, and physically. Winsor’s secret formula comes from
many things—a moral vision, an inclusive spirit, honest evaluation, a
love of learning, emphasis on informed debate and the freedom to ask any question. I’m
glad to find a financial vehicle that makes it possible to give what I can.”
 Susannah Tobin ’96
“I joined the Lamp of Learning Society several years ago when my parents
suggested that I draft a will. I initially thought it a morbid project,
but when I sat down to do it, I realized that it presented a chance for me
to consider the people and institutions that mean the most to me. Including
Winsor on that list was a no-brainer. In eight years as a student at
the school I benefited from Winsor’s sterling faculty, outstanding academic
and extracurricular opportunities, and nurturing learning environment. Now,
as an alumna, I know how important it is to give to Winsor. By advancing
young women we advance society.”
 Allie Flather Blodgett ’52
“From time to time in life we hear about something truly intruiging,
something that we want to be part of but are not sure how or if we
have the means. That is what happened to me when Winsor was just beginning
to think about planned giving and the Lamp of Learning Society. I dearly
love Winsor. It is exciting and gratifying to find a way to meet multiple goals with a planned gift. In my case, it also helped me to support my
class reunion gift and a campaign. Every three months, my check is a
pleasant reminder of what I can do for Winsor while Winsor does something for
me. It’s satisfying to know that the school will one day have the
funds to use wisely and well.”
 Persis Gleason Laverack ’45 and Ellen Simonds Stout ’45
“We can speak from personal experience when we talk about the benefits
of making a gift to Winsor through a Charitable Gift Annuity. We invite
you to join us and, in doing so, join more than 100 other members of the Lamp
of Learning Society who have invested in Winsor’s future.”
 Valerie Becker, Fine Arts faculty, and Lisa Taillacq, Eleanor Thomas Nelson ’49
Chair of Fine Arts
“We want to give back to a place that has blessed our lives in so many
ways. Winsor girls are some of the finest young people you will find
anywhere. It has been one of the greatest joys to make music with these
girls and to give that music as a gift. Between us, we have spent more
than fifty years teaching here. Remembering Winsor in our wills will
let us both contribute to a school that has given us so much.”
