Ohrstrom Library congratulates Claire Branch and Victoria Hetz on their selection as this year’s SPS Interns for Senator John F. Kerry. These two gifted young women will be excellent ambassadors for our school as they contribute to the operation of Senator Kerry’s office this summer. Perhaps someday they too will be listed in Women in Congress.
