35th Anniversary feature: resident spotlight

For our next 35th Anniversary featurette, we're highlighting one of AHW's longtime residents of Lindale Manufactured Housing Community in Middlebury, Elaine Lathrop. Elaine began working for Middlebury College in 1980, first as a secretary to the Dean of Faculty Development and then working her way up to Office Manager at the Bread Loaf School of English, where she served from 1994 until her recent retirement in 2022. One of Elaine's favorite pastimes is quilting. She writes, "I actually started quilting because of my mom. In the fall of 1994, she went to a quilting club meeting and came home very enthusiastic. She said I had to come with her the next month which I did and was hooked. As a new quilter, I took as many classes as I could and have even taught a few classes at Quilter's Corner of Middlebury Sew and Vac. I belong to two quilting groups: Red Clover Quilters and Milk and Honey Quilter's Guild. I thank God for showing me this path of creativity as it allows me to be of service to humanity."
