Local alumni gathered at the National Gallery

teaches at George Mason University in Fairfax.
Her recent book, The Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum:
Life and Afterlife of a Sculpture Collection,
which was her starting-point for this exhibition,
won the Charles Rufus Morey Book Award from
the College Art Association in 2006.
Young alumni gather
at Thanksgiving
For more than a decade, young Potomac alumni
have gathered the day after Thanksgiving. This
year’s event at Garrett’s Pub in Georgetown
on November 28 drew a large crowd from the
classes of 1999-2007. The group was as lively
as ever, sharing stories with old classmates and
teammates. This reunion of mixed class years
was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday
season. Be sure to join us next year!
