Wednesday, November 24, 2021 was a blustery sunny day, but we don't have a record of what the weather was like on the day that Marcia Noyes was buried at Baltimore's historic Green Mount Cemetery 75 years ago.
M.J. Tooey, past winner of the Noyes Award at the Medical Library Association, and current head of the Health Sciences and Human Services Library at the University of Maryland, and I met at Green Mount Cemetery to lay flowers on Marcia's grave on the 75th Anniversary of her death.
We know that the members of the Faculty frequently gave Marcia bouquets of flowers for small favors that she did for them. There are cards from Sir William Osler and others in her files noting flowers that they'd sent to her.
It's only fitting that bouquets of flowers are the way we memorialize Marcia Crocker Noyes today, both by giving a bouquet of flowers to the winner of the Noyes Award, and commemorating the date of her death.
Hello Meg, That was a nice thing to do. Great to see you in the photo!
