Margery DeArmond Maconachy '56 writes, " I recall that my dad was often busy on committees at Lansdowne Friends Meeting and my mom, Teacher Virginia, spent years working at LFS.  The meeting and school were such a firm and fond part of the fabric ofour lives. LFS is a small gem among Quaker schools and I shall ever be in their debt." Margery and her husband live in Washington. 

Priscilla Wyatt Davis '50 reconnected with LFS via the school website. She writes, "I was known as the daughter of 'Mr. and Mrs. Fred'.  My father was the caretaker of the school and the Meeting House.  We lived in a small two story house on the grounds which was demolished in the early 50's."  

Deborah Reeder '50 is a cellist with The Philadelphia Trio, principal cellist of The Opera Company of Philadelphia, member of the Pennsylvania Ballet Orchestra, co-director of music at The Mountains (in Eagles Mere, PA), former member and currently a frequent substitute with The Philadelphia Orchestra, and on the faculty at Temple University. 

 "I have such fond memories of Lansdowne Friends - in particular Gladys Chilton, Pearl Hoop and Teacher Mary."

Members of the LFS community enjoyed visiting Marsie Levering Hawkinson  and seeing Third Haven Friends Meeting in Easton, Maryland.

"I received a wonderful education at Lansdowne Friends School and made good friends. I still remember Teacher Masie, Head of School, who was a very enthusiastic teacher and leader."
