Elizabeth Blodgett Hall was raised in Great Barrington, Massachusetts at a time when upper-class people fled there in order to avoid the economic pressures of the Great Depression.
As a young girl she met the woman who would become Mrs. Emily Rose, wife of Milt Rose of the law firm Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander, a firm which would later boast such partners as Richard M. Nixon, future Attorney General John Mitchell as well as Pat Buchanan who served as Nixon's assistant.
In 1966, Elizabeth Blodgett Hall and her mother, Margaret Kendrick Blodgett, founded Simon's Rock College, a college designed specifically to accept students coming from their sophomore or junior years of high-school and usually before receiving high school diplomas.
Mrs. Hall, at last report, still survives in an elder care facility.
