Memories of Alnwick

Jennifer Earles Szydlik ’88, Oshkosh, Wis., Alnwick 1986

Jennifer Earles SzydlikAlnwick was a fairy tale time. We were taken care of – fed, taught, housed (were we ever!), but yet had great freedom. I visited nine countries, met people I visit to this day, and I can still name all the wives of Henry the VIII.

I have enclosed two photos. The first was a wonderful trip to Paris with Dave, Wayne, and Katie. We though we could just show up there, at night with little money and no reservations, and speaking no French. Turns out, we could. Strangers helped us to a hotel we could afford, and different strangers took us sightseeing on two different days.

The other photo is of Dr. (Wayland) Ezell, his wife and daughter Beth during Alnwick Fair. It was taken in “our yard” at the castle. I still get chills just looking at that castle!
