So: Can John Fry make lightning strike twice? “I don’t think it’s really lightning striking twice,” he said. “It’s more like the concerted effort of hundreds of people working over time. What I did [at Penn] was recognize that talent and galvanize it to perform.” There, working closely with the president who hired him, Judith Rodin, Fry oversaw a dramatic physical transformation of the campus, adding new academic and retail facilities that made both it and the adjacent University City neighborhood more attractive and lively, and stabilizing the neighborhood through housing incentives that encouraged Penn afﬁliates to settle there.

Turning the water a slightly off color, Emperor Nung, known as a “divine healer,” drank the darkened water, declaring that it produced “vigor of body, contentment of mind, and determination of purpose.” Nung’s discovery of tea seemed fated. And in a certain sense, so does Whispering Leaves: the Herb & Sip Shop, 4615 Woodland Ave. Whispering Leaves was opened in March of 2011 by Lisa Marie, a retired member of the Philadelphia Police Force. “I’d always wanted to own my own business and when my retirement drew close, I decided to put this plan into action,” Marie explained, adding, “And I have always loved tea, having people over to sit down, drink it and talk. Then there are its healing powers.” According to Marie, tea also helped relieve her son’s psoriasis. While Marie knew quite a lot about tea’s social and healing powers, she didn’t know where to start when it came to opening a continued on page 2
