Steve has been building this chapel loosely based on medieval Norwegian stave
churches for a number of years. He and his wife, Jan, hosted a very popular concert
for us last fall at the chapel.
This year we have invited poet Katherine Williams to read from her recently
published first book of poetry, Still Life. She lives in Washington D.C. and has
summered for many years in Greensboro. Katherine is an art therapist and clinical
psychologist and was the Director of the Art Therapy Program at George
Washington University, where she is now Associate Professor Emerita. She also
taught at the Goucher and Vermont College summer Art Therapy programs. She
writes: “As a poet I search for images that, when combined, create a truth composed
of newly relating parts. I feel fortunate to have lived so long with so much delight in
discovery.”
Katherine will be accompanied by musician Linda Young from Montpelier (she
played last year as part of a trio). She has completed graduate study in vocal
performance at both the New England Conservatory of Music and Boston
Conservatory at Berklee. Now that she is retired from a career mostly at Charles
Schwab, she is enjoying immersing herself in an eclectic mix of music, instruments,
and music communities.
There is a dirt path to the chapel which would not be accessible for members who
need assistance. Chairs will be provided, and there will be light refreshments
afterwards. Following that, for those who wish, Steve and Jan are inviting attendees
to walk down a relatively short path to Wolcott Pond to enjoy the view and perhaps
take a swim. Registration is limited to 20 members.
