Thanks for this biography, Sarah! I had assumed Sabin World School was named after Florence, and had no idea about her less-famous (but equally interesting) sister. I'm glad at your work to rescue her name from oblivion.

I have a scanned copy of the original dedication program for Sabin Elementary School in Harvey Park (which I scanned while borrowing an original copy of the program from the school), and indeed, the program dedicates the school to both women!

Mary Sabin, we applaud your strong will & many accomplishments! Because of your efforts so many have benefited in education and appreciation of our beautiful state. I am associated with both Colorado Mountain Club & Rocky Mountain National Park, so thank you, thank you!

As a CMC member, I was privileged to co-develop a presentation for the Club's Centennial Year in 2012. It was during the research phase of the project I first learned of Mary Sabin's influence and constant efforts in bringing a fledgling idea of a "mountain climbing club" to fruition.
