Sweet Briar Girls
But, though they were obviously the offspring of wealthier and more socially prominent families than most of ours, they were also clearly the products of a rural culture, and were more interested in talking about their horses and sport than in calculatingly sizing you up, in the manner of Vassar, as a potential husband and breadwinner. I remember having more fun at the Sweet Briar mixer than at any of the others I attended that year. Never Yet Melted ｻ Sweet Briar To Close Next August

Your Say
I knew a Sweetbriar girl. She was beautiful. She was, for a time, the girlfriend of my (then) best friend. But, I confess, I once stole her away for a day and a night. I was never lucky in love, and somehow she sensed that, and gave me a gift that stayed with me to this day.

That Sweetbriar can fail and Bryn Mawr can succeed, both being all Girl, shows that the Lord is ready to Judge the USA.
I say this and I am not by any stretch a religious individual.

Something about the name Sweetbriar Girl makes me just want to be there.

Don Rodrigo, I do believe you are a great-hearted romantic rogue.

DonRodrigo, we may be brothers. I too have had a pair of similar experiences when I was young and pretty and I think of them often.
Here is to all Sweetbriar Girls, to a lovely from New Orleans and to another from Clinton, NY.

Dan, Christopher, Stug, and Jack:
Let's raise a toast of our favorite poison (mine is Devil's Cut) to all the girls we've loved before.
Cue the song.
