“After playing hooky for a bit, I came home to help Jim saw wood for tomorrow and split kindlings before dinner time – as is tradition.”
Early Life and Education
Early on in his life, Thomas Langhorne attended Cedar Fork School through fifth grade and Luther P. Jackson School until eleventh grade, when he graduated Riverhead High School and the University of Maryland. Following this he married Rose Trent and had one son Sherman Langhorne before serving 24 years on Cumberland County Planning and Zoning Board and volunteering at Cumberland 4-H Extension Office as a volunteer leader.
Langhorne was able to draw boys from wealthy families into his private school despite limited income; he leased Loretto House in 1827 and later purchased it outright, eventually enrolling up to 69 pupils; most from wealthy backgrounds in the surrounding countryside.
Professional Career
Crystal Langhorne faced many people’s criticism when she chose Maryland over UConn, but she proved them all wrong by becoming one of Brenda Frese’s standout players and leading Maryland to its inaugural national title victory. Since then she has been honored with induction into Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame.
Langhorne holds fond memories from her college career against North Carolina as one of her proudest moments, setting the screen that allowed Kristi Toliver to hit her game-winning shot and defeating them 6-4. That momentous occasion remains vivid for Langhorne today as she works her way towards becoming a professional tour golfer.
