A Message from Bina Williams '75

November 11, 2019

I loved your intro archaeology class. You knew so much and would lecture without notes. Occasionally, you would say you were not exactly sure about some fact. We would note that and look it up. You were never wrong! Your worry beads kept us entertained although we worried they would break!

While I did not end up majoring in archaeology after all, your course was a highlight!

I also enjoyed a dinner in NYC with Joanne Delia Payson '75 after a BMC/Haverford event at Sotheby’s.

Thank you so much! And,of course, happy birthday!

Bina Williams
