EPILOGUE
A common thread runs through the many roles Winnie has assumed at Saint David ’ s : curiosity and care . She has brought the curiosity of an avid reader , lifelong learner , and all-around scholar to her work with the boys , faculty and staff , and alumni community . Coupled with the genuine care she demonstrates for all with whom she interacts , a better example of our school-year theme of kindness could not be found .
I wish our Timeless Librarian many fulfilling new chapters ahead - with her family , her foundation work , and in her ambition to write a children ’ s book or two … or three . And who knows , what else !
Winnie , you may be retiring from Saint David ’ s in your role as Upper School Librarian , but you leave an enduring imprint on the school , and will always remain an integral , highly-regarded , and loved member of this appreciative community . •
