Dear Earlhamite,

Thank you for publishing the photo of Joy Brown in the article "Opening the World," (Summer 2007 issue). You probably know that Joy never came back from France, She met and married Yves Sarfati and then died young. I shouldn't say she "never" came back because she visited her family.

Joy was the reason I came to Earlham. We were friends in high school in Galesburg, Ill. She had chosen Earlham, told me about it and gave me a catalogue. I read about, "educating the whole person," and was sold.

It touched me deeply to see once again the directness and brightness of her smile. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Work '58
