About the Donor
Barbara Holley, Class of 1954, established this endowment in memory of her brother Robert who passed away in 2001. Robert was a woodworker. Barbara Holley noted, “He was very good at repairing things and putting things back together when they had come apart. This is one of the reasons that I thought a preservation fund was a good way to memorialize him.”
