- catalog description "Ann (Fraser) Brewer was the daughter of Jane Gardiner and George C. Fraser, a lawyer practicing in New York City. She attended the Brearley School and Bryn Mawr College (1923) and trained as a geologist, but gave up her hopes for a career when she married George Emerson Brewer, Jr., in 1923. They had four children: Effie, Ann, Michael, and George Fraser. Brewer was active in social work; her son, George Fraser, had Down Syndrome, and she worked with children and adults who had this condition. She was chairman of the Advisory Council of the New York School of Social Work at Columbia University, and served on the boards of St. Faith's Home, a home for unwed mothers in Tarrytown, New York, and Camphill Village, a community of people with developmental disabilities, in Copake, New York. In 1990, she moved to Collington, a retirement community near Washington, DC. Brewer died at her cabin in Newcomb, New York, on October 15, 2000. Ann Fraser Brewer's husband, George E. Brewer, Jr. ("Buddy"), attended Groton School and Yale College (1922). He was a playwright and co-wrote the play "Dark Victory," which was produced on Broadway in 1934 and made into a film in 1939. During World War II, Brewer served in the Army Air Forces as a lieutenant colonel, heading an Office of Strategic Services mission to Sweden from 1943 to 1945. George E. Brewer, Jr., died in 1968.".
