Meg Sokoloff Edelson 1978

6/23/2016

Totally out of the blue, at age 46, I received a mysterious large white envelope bearing the Hamden Hall logo. Inside were several poems I had written at Hamden Hall and a warm personal note from Betty Lou Blumberg. Betty Lou had kept these poems 30 years and was returning them to me! I was enormously touched. And Betty Lou’s timing was perfect; it allowed me to show my high-school aged daughter what her mom had written at the same age.

Betty Lou and Hamden Hall deserve significant credit for my career success. Sure, I felt frustrated when obliged to correct and rewrite my 30-page paper for the third time! But the writing skills and tenacity taught by these editing experiences helped me write better proposals and win business.

Betty Lou taught us more than how to write a great paper. She taught us kindness, creativity, compassion, teamwork, persistence and so much more. Betty Lou Blumberg is a truly exceptional teacher and mentor. How fortunate we were to have been her students.
