LLOYD E. WORNER AWARD RECIPIENT 1993

Margaret Killian Reid '31

Quietly and unassumingly, Margaret Killian Reid has contributed to our institution in countless ways throughout her adult life. As the wife of CC legend J. Juan Reid, she was half of a partnership that figures prominently in the history of Colorado College.

Throughout the years, she has given hours of her time to the College. She chaired the Faculty Wives' Club (later Faculty Club) in President Gill's day, served on the board of the Woman's Educational Society and as an officer of the Fifty Year Club, and still participates in the Friends of the Library. Margaret provided unfailing support for her husband in his numerous College duties, as well as a home away from home for many CC students. She now continues her involvement, attending many lectures, concerts and other functions at the College.

Her family itself comprises a sizable alumni body. Two brothers and three sisters, her three children (Judith Reid Finley '58, Robert Alan Reid '59, and John Jay Reid '63), and two of her granddaughters (Karen Killian Finley '87 and Laura Margaret Finley '89) attended CC. These legacies have also greatly enriched the College.

Through her steady support, her faithful spirit, and her generous financial assistance, Margaret Killian Reid has helped CC beyond measure. The College is enormously fortunate that Margaret Killian Reid is part of its family.
