These photos are from time spent in Alstead, NH with a group of friends from Brown that hung out together. The photo on the beach is on Cape Cod where my then husband and I hosted the collective from Hope Street that Christina lived in (and where I met her). I knew her best when she was in graduate school–young, strong, full of life and a great influence on me. I saw less of her once she moved to Wesleyan but loved her company, her intellect and her critical support (I mean critical in a good way) when we did meet to discuss an amazing mix of the personal, political and academic that constituted our lives.
