Dr. Ridgway:
I am thrilled for the opportunity to pass along birthday greetings.
I had the distinct pleasure of taking your Art and Archeology and Archeology of the Acropolis courses in the 1963-1964 academic year. They added real beauty to my major in classics.
While there is no possibility that you will remember me for academic achievement, you may recall me as the only Haverford student in either class. I do wish, in retrospect, that I had found a way to follow up professionally on my love of antiquities, but, at the time, law school seemed more practical.
I retired several years ago, following a lengthy stint as the tax commissioner of the District of Columbia.
I am grateful to Bryn Mawr for including me in this tribute and extend my best wishes on the occasion of your birthday.
