 Root Cellar Memories

Dick Tindal's Retiree Association column in a recent issue of Voyageur will focus on the Root Cellar and its role in the rich social life of the college in the early decades. Dick  issued an invitation to our members to share their memories of this venerable site.  He is pleased to pass along this contribution from John Mason which illustrates the extensive volunteer activities of early Root Cellar members.
