HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION
by Aimee Madden
We hear a lot about the “long, lazy days of summer,” but for many in the Shorter College community “lazy” is a word that simply didn’t apply to this summer. Like those English assignments of days gone by, the following pages tell the stories of summer vacations filled with active service, engaged learning, amazing discovery and growing faith.
From Sea to Shining Sea
For 63 days, Dylan Kelly (’09)pedaled his way from the Tar Heel state over the mountains of Tennessee and the flat plains and plateaus of Arkansas. He laid down tracks through the Breadbasket of America and traveled down the dusty roads of the Grand Canyon state.

From her window at the St. George’s Cathedral Pilgrims Guest House, Lori Skinner takes in the view and recalls the day’s events.
