"Wi don't have any average days!” joked Elsa Newmeyer when she was asked how classes were going in the off-campus program set up last week at Lake Whippoorwill Farm outside of Washington.
Elsa and her husband Larry Forrester are instructors for eight kids —sophomores, juniors and seniors—from the Cambridge School of Weston, a private secondary school in Weston, Massachusetts. The group is spending a month in Rappahannock, studying southern literature, local history, crafts and country ways.
To date, they’ve lined up sessions with glass blower Eric Kvarnes, Woodville’s herb lady Mrs. Flossie Williamson, weaver Kim Jacobson, potter and basket weaver Jeanne Drevas and Rev. W. B. Dennis who has spent 93 years living and learning in Rappahannock County. They've also scheduled a visit with John Jackson, a native son who has earned worldwide reknown as a blues singer and musician.
Mornings will be spent at the lakeside cabin in a southern literature seminar. Afternoons, the kids will focus on their special areas of interst, going to see different local resource people.
