New Albany House Guests

JAN: The Cornell Glee Club came through Ohio on their Southern Tour for a performance at Denison University. Members of the Cornell Alumni Association of Central Ohio hosted them overnight in our homes. I was delighted to have Jacob Cohen ‘15 and Ben Feinson ‘14 as my guests and deliver them the next morning to continue on their tour.

MAY-JUN: Amina Richardson took a summer medical internship at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, staying with Dr. Andrew & Rebecca Schamess & family. Her Dad Michael and sister Adassa came for visits and they all stayed with me, experiencing: country club living; America’s best ice cream (Jeni’s), best zoo, best science center (CoSI), and unique topiary park (of Seurat’s Island of La Grande Jatte). Saw George Takei in the Pride Parade. We ate very well.

OCT: Delighted to show recent Univ. of Leeds graduate Augusta Riddy the American Heartland on her Grand
Tour of the U.S. Brunch at New Albany C.C. then watched croquet. Shared 2 dozen oysters at Rigsby’s, where owner/ chef Kent stopped to greet us. Enjoyed Chilhulys among the plants at Franklin Park Conservatory. A huge cream puff
at Schmidt’s. Toured Yoder’s Amish Home and had a buggy ride before seeing Longerberger’s world’s largest basket.
