Christine Manory parent of Jack, Class of 2011, displayed a series of photographs in the library foyer during Spring of 2008. One wall displayed large black and white floral images while the other was a series of color images taken at the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport. Both are reproduced below. She writes," I have been taking photographs for over ten years. In addition to my B.A. from Columbia College in Chicago, I have studied photography at the New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts, RISD and with the Abbey photography teacher, Dan McManus at the Newport Art Museum."

Christine says in her description of the works, "There's something chaotic yet beautiful in the subject matter that is run-down, old, decaying and I find myself returning over and over to structures that have seen better days". "The broken and barnacle-covered hulls would certainly have tales to tell, if only they could."
