Anyone who has attended the Jane Austen Summer Program since 2016 has been treated to the wit and welcome of Patrick "Pat" McGraw. Though Pat stands out as one of the few male attendees, he fits right in as a dedicated reader of Jane Austen. Thanks to the generosity of both Pat and his friends, other teachers will now be able to enjoy JASP as well.
Susan Allen Ford reports that when Pat was unable to attend JASP this year, rather than make a reasonable request for a refund he donated his registration fee to the program. She is pleased to announce that "In recognition of his generosity and long-term support of JASP, some of his friends have decided to honor him by establishing a teacher scholarship in his name."
