Pietzner Legacy Society Chairs
Meet Bill and Betsy Herman
Bill and Betsy Herman brought their daughter Sarah Jane to The Camphill School in 1976, and have been staunch and generous supporters ever since. As chairs of the Society, they included The Camphill School in their estate plans.
Betsy shares this story that shows why she and Bill are members of the Pietzner Society:
While on a walk up the hill at Beaver Run, Ursel Pietzner mentioned to my husband that if we could no longer afford to pay tuition (then very modest), Sarah would nonetheless continue to be cared for and educated at Beaver Run. For us, that single experience opened up a lifetime of active Board membership in the School, the Camphill Foundation, and the Camphill Association, all dedicated to enabling and perpetuating the selfless attitude so simply and matter-of-factly stated by Ursel so many years ago.
