My husband and I were married at the Arboretum. My daughters have performed with their Isadora Duncan dance troupe on many a Lilac Sunday. Our family made a contribution to the Arboretum to honor my mother when she passed away. I was part of an initiative to form “ The Arboretum Community Charter School” when. On Cook was the director. Jointly we submitted an application to the state and competed with several other proposed Charter Schools. I walk almost every day from the Walter Strert gate or Peter’s Hill.
