The Michigan Women's Hall of Fame had reception many moons ago in honor of Emily and many Alpha Gams were in attendance. I was the CA of Zeta Alpha that year and most of the chapter went, as well as myself and my sister-daughter. Jane Graf had rallied the Alpha Gams to be there in abundance. She also has a collection of Emily's art and brought some to IRD this year for our viewing enjoyment. They also have at least one of her paintings in the Alpha Beta house at U of Mich.
I was in awe of her accomplishments at the reception for her induction into the Women's Hall of Fame and again at her Founder's Memorial Dedication last fall.
Many of the churches and schools that she designed are still standing and I hope someday to visit at least one of them.
Emily was definitely an amazing women. And when you put it in the perspective of the TIME that she did all of us, when few women even went to college, let alone worked, it is even more amazing.
Thank you Emily!
