2001 – Mexico City & Cuernavaca, Mexico
A few days after receiving her Bachelor of Arts (cum laude) from Vassar College, Sally Sloan married a Mexican journalist and moved to Buenos Aires then to Mexico City. Her colorful and eventful life has led to some surprising and rewarding experiences. For the past 15 years she has been the director of the Robert Brady Museum in Cuernavaca. �Sally Sloan has created a marvelous museum, and she is a remarkable person,� asserts Evelyn Lambert, a �fellow� expatriate who is a member of Northwood�s first (1970) Distinguished Women�s class, and vice president of the Brady Museum board.
