China Girl
At SHS, Carolyn Baldwin Quinlan sang in choir and played piano for the Singing Seven. She taught music in the Downers Grove school district for 32 years, and after retirement, she and her husband, Ed, returned to Springfield.
A self-described "antiques junkie," she collects Haviland china and recently cleaned up at the State Fair competition with 9 ribbon prizes: 5 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 third and 1 fourth.
In July, she traveled to Europe with several friends. They saw Paris, the porcelain museums of Limoges, and took an all-night train to Florence, where they stayed at a villa in Lastra a Signa. Later they drove to Pisa, Venice, Arezzo and other small villages.
Carolyn sub-teaches in Springfield and serves on our Reunions committee, but most days she is happily retired.
