Fall 2011 - Postcards-Student home locations
October 28, 2011

For the opening of  this school year, the library case had a display of vintage and new postcards from each of the states and home countries of our Portsmouth Abbey Student Community. The admissions office identified students from 23 states and the District of Columbia and  17 countries.  To have a uniform states postcard presentation,  Mrs. Stevens drew on the vintage collection of Mrs Terri Mayer, a deltilologist from New Jersey whose collection includes 50 "Greetings From"  and state capital building postcards from each state. Mrs. Mayer was an aunt of Dr. Henry Stevens before she passed away some years ago. For the countries of the world Mrs. Mayer's collection was augmented by other cards on laon as well as a those returned to the school in respose to a request to the present Portsmouth Abbey students.  Our Asian students,  Jiayi Xu---- (hometown Hang Zhou), Rose Wang----- Beijing, Xuanqing (Amy) Huang---Yantai, Yuefeng Wu --Shanghai,  Wu Yue—Harbin in China and Hee-Jin (Cathia) Kim-- (hometown Daegu), and Joo Seung—Seoul in Korea were most helpful.
