he cover of this issue of The Archon depicts the new 250th Anniversary mural located in the Carl A. Pescosolido Library. During the spring of 2012, a staff and faculty focus group developed the concept and scope for a mural that would highlight the school’s history and convey a sense of tradition and respect for the campus surroundings. The mural, created by artists David Fitcher and Josh Winer, was completed over the summer. The colorful, large scale mural blends some of the school’s key historical figures, traditions, and natural surroundings, providing a glimpse of student life through the years. A detailed guide and artist information can be found on the anniversary website at www.Govs250.org.

Archon Message fall/winter, 2012

250 years.

In the lifespan of any institution, that is a big number. As this issue of the Archon goes to press, we are in the midst of a year-long celebration of this historic occasion. As we move through the events of this year, it is appropriate that we take time to consider our past and to honor the efforts of all those who have brought our school to this historic milestone, the men and women who have served as such faithful stewards of the founding gift—Lt. Governor William Dummer’s bequest creating a school on the grounds of his ancestral farm. But it is equally important that we take time to reflect on a fundamental question that has implications for the next 250 years for our school: What exactly are we celebrating? I believe that the answer to this question boils down to one simple principle—relationships. Whatever our affiliation with the Academy—alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and grandparents past or present, or some combination of the above—we are drawn together by the character of bonds formed between individuals dedicated to the education of young people. A great deal has changed in the last 250 years. The curriculum and teaching methods used by Master Moody are not the curriculum and teaching methods we use today. Even the progressive Master Moody, quite an educational innovator in his day, could never have anticipated the ways in which his school would evolve. And yet, the goals of the Academy in the early years of the 21st century are not so different from the aims pursued by Master Moody at the end of the 18th century. He sought to prepare students for the demands of college and for lives as productive citizens in a rapidly changing world. At a fundamental level, that is precisely what we are doing today. As we look forward to a vital and vibrant future beyond this year of celebration, one of the most significant challenges we face is to consider how our curriculum and teaching methods will evolve in ways that assure us we are meeting the needs of our students and preparing

The Archon | Fall/Winter 2012

them for success in college and beyond. It is for this very reason that we have embarked on a comprehensive twoyear review of our entire curriculum. In a world where students have access to more information on their smart phones than many of us had access to in the entire Frost Library, and where we have at our fingertips the capability to bring people from nearly any corner of the globe into our classroom with a tap on the tablet, it can be difficult to know how to adapt. Some might argue for clinging steadfastly to the familiar in an era of such dizzying change. But resistance to change is not the answer. We have to teach our students how to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information at their disposal, how to assess the validity of the sources they can pull up in an instant, how to be flexible and nimble in dealing with new information, and how to be creative in solving problems in a rapidly changing environment. I don’t have a crystal ball, so I can’t tell you what education at the Academy will look like 25 or 50 years down the road. But I can tell you that I am confident of one thing: computers won’t teach our children how to develop into young women and men of character, and no algorithm will instruct our students how to decide which information to credit and which to set aside. Teachers will do this. Men and women dedicated to the education of young people will do this. After 250 years of progress and innovation, it’s still all about relationships.

Byfield & Beyond Letter from the president of the alumni Council Dear Members of the Alumni Council, With the holiday season upon us, we are all reminded to take a minute to celebrate another year with family and friends. During this time, I hope you will think of your Governor’s family as well. As we have gathered to celebrate the school’s 250th, once again I am reminded that it is relationships that make our connection to the Academy such a special one. We share a very special bond with not just those who jumped the wall with us, but also with the thousands of other graduates who came before or who followed after. I hope everyone will make an effort to reconnect with the Academy this coming year. Not just to find out all the wonderful things that are going on there, but also because of all the wonderful memories that we can still make with the graduates, students, faculty, and parents that share a sliver of the school’s long history with each of us. The main goals of the Alumni Council are to connect members of the Alumni Association to each other and to the school. We do this through three key areas of focus: a committee focused on networking strategies, another focused on social events and gatherings, and a third devoted to preserving school traditions and connecting with the current student body. Whether it is through social events or gathering information for the school archives, there are so many ways that your participation still matters to The Academy and so much you can gain from reconnecting. Come back to campus, attend an alumni event, or just browse the website. You will realize even more reasons to take pride in your school. Your relationship with the Academy was and always will be a reciprocal one. If you give some time to the Academy, you will reap the rewards of your investment! Sincerely, Gretchen S. Forsyth ’95 President of the Alumni Council

On Campus mock election On Tuesday, October 23, students, faculty, and staff cast their votes in a Mock Presidential Election, complete with authentic voting booths, borrowed from the Town of Newburyport. School President Jean Bower ’13 was contacted by the Deerfield Academy Student Council and asked if the Academy would be interested in participating in the election with other New England area schools. With enthusiastic support from the Governor’s Community Council Group, Jean accepted the invitation. Throughout the fall, students were given the opportunity to discuss the election and political topics with teachers and advisors. The election was a perfect format for students to voice their opinions, considering that many students were not old enough to take part in the actual Presidential Election.

rumble in the garden This fall, the drama department put on the show Rumble in the Garden. The one act play pastiche of elements from Midsummer Night’s Dream concerns a showdown between public school students and private school students. The play is set in the present time, during both schools’ field trips to Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, Mass. The show was performed in an English Garden complete with cupids and ha-ha’s created by Joe Repczynski and his crew and located in the orchestra pit of the Wilkie Center. To create the orchestra pit Mr. Repczynski moved the first four rows of seats up on to the stage so that the performance could take place in the round. Faculty children played little cupids in the play and Sara Cook ’14 played incidental Bach on her cello. 12

Dressing for a Cause Breast Cancer Awareness month falls during the month of October and gives community members an opportunity to involve themselves in the fight against cancer. Senior Class President, Ryan Scarfo, did just that when he decided to coordinate a National Denim Day event at The Governor’s Academy. Lee Denim is the sponsor of these events and proceeds go directly to the American Cancer Society. Ryan and classmate Natalie Sullivan ’13 asked students and community members to donate five dollars to help support National Denim Day. With their donation, members of the community received a breast cancer awareness pin and were allowed to dress in jeans in honor of the National Denim Day. Asked why he decided to get involved, Ryan said, “Breast cancer has affected my family and I decided that this year I wanted to help support cancer research.” Over the course of a week Ryan and Natalie handed out over 300 pins and collected $1,760 in donations. Many students and community members dressed in pink to honor breast cancer awareness month and proudly wore the pins which they had received for making a donation. Ryan noted that the Governor’s community was extremely supportive of his efforts and he plans to stay involved with community service efforts in the future. Congratulations to Ryan, Natalie, and the rest of the Governor’s community for supporting such an important cause.

volunteer leadership gathering On November 10, Class Agents, Class Secretaries, Parent Fund Volunteers, and Alumni Council Members were invited back to campus for a Volunteer Leadership Gathering hosted by the Academy. The Advancement Office shared a broad financial overview, the vision of the Academy, and their overall initiatives for this year. Volunteers then joined the trustees for lunch in the Whiston·Bragdon Arena. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Amy Swiniarski in the Alumni Office at aswiniarski@govsacademy.org or 978.499.3187.

dedications

former headmasters are honored with campus dedications The Wilkie Center for the Performing Arts

On Saturday, June 9, as a part of Reunion Weekend 2012, the Performing Arts Center was officially dedicated in honor of Headmaster Emeritus, Valleau Wilkie Jr. Val Wilkie was headmaster of the Academy from 1959–1972 and throughout his tenure consistently nurtured an awakening of the arts in the lives of the Academy’s students. Built in 2001, the Wilkie Center for the Performing Arts is a state of the art, 490 seat auditorium that is home to the Academy’s theatre, dance, and music programs. Students are given the opportunity to explore and excel in multiple disciplines including: chorus, jazz band, drama productions, tech theatre, ballet, hip hop, and modern dance. At the dedication ceremony family, alumni, and friends gathered to hear remarks from Val and were welcomed by Board of Trustee president, Jeffrey Gordon ’69. Val was touched to be invited back to campus for this dedication. The Wilkie Center for the Performing Arts will continue to serve students and faculty in a positive way and allow them to honor the legacy Val created.

Anderson Scoreboard The Governor’s community was saddened last spring with the passing of long time faculty member Bob Anderson. Bob was hired to teach Science by Ted Eames in 1957, beginning a long and full career as an educator at Governor Dummer Academy. He served as Director of Athletics from 1972–1991. During this time, he played a major role in the inception of the Independent School League and in the creation of the women’s athletic program. For 31 seasons he coached the football team, including thirteen as the head coach. His 1968 football team was undefeated. He coached lacrosse every spring of his 39-year career, serving as Heb Evans’ assistant on the varsity for 25 years. Last May, Bob was inducted into the Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Donations were made, on Bob’s behalf, directly to The Governor’s Academy Athletic Department. Through the generosity of community members, the Athletic Department purchased a new scoreboard for the Alfond Class of ’67 Turf Field. This was a welcome addition to the field and future generations of Governor’s student athletes will benefit from it.

College Counseling Office Expanded and Restructured With the July 1, 2012 appointment of Mr. Joseph Bobrowskas as the new co-director of the College Counseling Office, Headmaster Peter Quimby completed a restructuring of the school’s college counseling program that fundamentally repositions the Academy’s efforts in this crucial area. This appointment also represents a substantial new investment in the Academy’s college counseling program. This restructuring moves the Academy from one full-time director and two part-time faculty members in the office, to three staff members focused exclusively on the school’s college counseling efforts. As colleges have become more selective in recent years, and as the college admissions process has become more sophisticated, Dr. Quimby noted that it has become ever more important to ensure that college counselors have the time and expertise necessary to keep up with this changing college admissions landscape. Noting that the model of a full-time director and two part-time associate directors rotating in from the ranks of the teaching faculty has served the Academy well for many years, Dr. Quimby announced that he had “determined this fall that our students and their families would be better served by a different model, one in which all members of the office are focused solely on the college counseling process.” This shift will reduce the Academy’s studentcounselor ratios, offer new opportunities to expand programming for students and their families, and increase the college counseling efforts to maintain relationships with college admissions offices. Mr. Bobrowskas joins Ms. Janet Adams-Wall in leading the College Counseling Office forward. The Academy has benefitted from the guidance and expertise of Ms. Adams-Wall for the last 27 years and will continue to realize the benefits of her deep experience. Building on his 20 years of experience in college admissions at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and in college counseling at boarding schools including Holderness School and Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, Mr. Bobrowskas will bring a perspective to our office that is both deep and broad. Mr. Bobrowskas holds a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Dartmouth College in addition to an M.Ed. from Augusta State University in Georgia and a B.S. from Troy University in Alabama. Dr. Quimby’s appointment of Ms. Heather Shows as a new associate director of college counseling last year represented the first step in this restructuring and expansion. Ms. Shows has worked in both the college admissions and college counseling worlds. She served as an admissions officer for many years at Vanderbilt University, and was most recently a college counselor at the Kent School in Connecticut. Heather graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned a master’s degree from the University of Iowa. Reflecting on this restructuring, Dr. Quimby commented: “This enhanced commitment to the important work of college counseling is consistent with our larger goal of providing the very best educational opportunities possible to our students. I look forward to the work that Janet, Joe, and Heather will do together to advance the mission of our school.”

Getting to know 2012 special olympics

On Sunday, November 4, The Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy hosted the Massachusetts Special Olympics Fall Soccer Tournament. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament marked the twenty-fifth year that the Academy has partnered with the Special Olympics to host the event. More than 1,200 athletes, representing more than 100 teams from across the state, gathered to compete in a series of round-robin soccer matches.

getting to know the 2012 Special Olympic Student Directors Nora Hamovit ’13 and Abigail Clavin ’13 were the student directors of the 2012 Special Olympics Fall Soccer Tournament. Both girls have ties to the Special Olympics organization and have been active volunteers for many years. The Archon caught up with the current seniors to learn more about their experience organizing the tournament and how important giving back to the community is to them. What is the process to become a student director for the Special Olympics Tournament?

What was the student involvement like from the Governor’s community?

Abbie: As underclassmen, Nora and I worked as team escorts. Junior year we were both shadows, and worked with a senior who was the head of a division. After last year’s tournament we applied to be head leaders for this year. There are several different divisions that seniors can be in charge of. Nora and I felt so honored that we were picked to oversee the entire tournament as the student directors.

A: I think the whole student body felt a lot of pride that this was the twenty-fifth year that the tournament has been held on campus. The upper classmen did a great job of showing the freshmen and new students how important it is to get involved.

Nora: It is a lot of work to be the student director. The day of the tournament was really hectic, but I think we did a really good job of letting all of the volunteers know where they were supposed to be throughout the day. When I saw all the details come together and saw how much fun the athletes were having, I realized that all my hard work had paid off.

N: The first two pages of volunteer sign-ups were all freshman. The upper classmen made sure they told the freshmen about the tournament. That helped to get the underclassman involved. We had 350 student volunteers, which is basically the entire community!

How long have you been involved with the Special Olympics? A: I have been volunteering with the Special Olympics organization in Newburyport since I was in sixth grade. I had been to the soccer tournament a few times before I was a student here and really enjoyed it. I volunteer every Sunday coaching soccer, basketball, and track. In the summer I travel to the Summer Games at Harvard with my track team. N: I grew up on campus so I have been volunteering at the soccer tournament since I was seven or eight years old. I started with meal prep, what all the younger kids start with. In middle school I became a team escort which has been my favorite job. You spend the whole day with one team and really get to know the athletes. Abbie helped me get involved with the Newburyport organization and now I also coach soccer, basketball, and track on weekends. Every Sunday the kids are excited to see me; I really enjoy volunteering.

What made the 2012 Tournament special? A: This year marked the 25th year that the tournament has been held on campus, which is a really important milestone. We held an all-school meeting to get the students excited about the tournament. Bob Johnson, President and CEO of the Special Olympics; Patti Crow, member of the fall soccer tournament committee; and an athlete and coach spoke to the student body.

The 2012 Special Olympic Student Directors: Abbie Clavin ’13 and Nora Hamovit ’13

N: It was really interesting to hear Patti Crow talk about how much the tournament has grown. In the first year the tournament was held at Governors, only eight teams participated. This year over 100 teams competed. The teams actually used to practice here on campus and students would volunteer to help them out. It was cool to hear how our school has always been so involved.

A: Being a student here has inspired me to do more volunteer work. I would love to stay with the Special Olympics and also find new programs to volunteer with when I am in college.

After you graduate from Governor’s this spring, will you continue to volunteer in your community?

N: It is encouraging to see that so many students at Governor’s volunteer. It helped me get more active in the community, I will definitely continue to volunteer after I graduate. The Archon | Fall/Winter 2012

Congratulations! this fall governors had four New England Championship teams In the semi-finals, the girls took on Tabor Academy. Governor’s came out to an early 1-0 lead and never looked back; they finished the day with a 2-0 win and a spot in the tournament finals.

Football The 2012 season was the second straight undefeated regular season for the Governors. The team finished the regular season with a deceive 31-7 win over ISL rival Belmont Hill, clinching the regular season ISL title. This earned them a spot in the Tom Flaherty Bowl Game and a chance to defend their New England Championship Title. On November 16, Governors squared off against Cheshire Academy in the Tom Flaherty Bowl Game. Both teams traded touchdowns in first quarter but by the middle of the second, Govs found their groove. Up 29-14 at the half, Governors continued to dominate in the second half of play. With solid play from Tate Jozokos ’13 and Eli Morrisey ’13, Governor’s finished the day with a 42-28 victory. In just two seasons with the team, Coach Jim O’Leary is now a perfect 18-0. Congratulations to our ISL and New England Championship football team!

girls soccer After claiming the NEPSAC title in 2011, the girls soccer team finished the 2012 season with a 13-0-2 record and claimed the regular season ISL title. Along with the ISL title, the girls were given the number one overall seed in the NEPSAC Class B tournament. Govs faced eighth seeded Lawrence Academy in quarterfinal action and came away with a 4-0 victory.

On Sunday, November 18, Govs faced ISL powerhouse Rivers. After 90 minutes of regulation play the score remained 0-0. With just 52 seconds remaining in overtime, twin sisters Kendall and Jaquelyn Ham ’14 connected for the overtime, game winning goal! Congratulations to the girls on their second straight NEPSC Class B title!

volleyball Finishing the regular season with a 13-4 record, the girls earned a spot in the NEPSAC Tournament for the fourth straight year. The Governor’s faced the Canterbury School in first round action and finished the day with a 4 games to 1 victory. In semi-final action, Govs faced Cushing Academy. The girls came out strong in the first game winning 25-17. Cushing found their momentum in the second game, beating Govs 17-25. In the third game, Govs fought hard and came back to win 25-12. In an intense fourth and final game, Govs was victorious, winning 25-21. Just an hour after their semi-final victory, Governor’s took the court once again in the final round of play. Govs matched up against Scared Heart in the 2012 NEPSAC title game. After faltering in game one, Govs turned the corner and won game two 25-11, followed by a 25-19 victory in game three. The fourth game would prove too much for their opponent. The girls finished the day with a 22-16 win in game four and were crowned NEPSAC Champions!

Boys cross country The Governors Cross-Country team traveled to Hebron, ME to run in the NEPSTA Division II Cross-Country Championships. On race day, sunny skies, temperatures in the 40’s, and a moderate breeze created ideal conditions for running. South-central Maine offers topographical features that make a cross-country course challenging, and Hebron’s course had them: wide trails through the woods with constantly rolling terrain and at least three thighburning hills at virtually each mile mark. Not a course for the faint-hearted, the Govs boys ran it stout-heartedly, coming from the middle of the pack at the half-way mark to place five runners in the top twenty and to place first among 18 teams with 84 points. A mere seven seconds separated junior Patrick Farrell (13th of 125, 18:12), sophomore McLean Sherrin (15th, 18:13), senior tri-captain Ryan Gill (17th, 18:16), sophomore Michael Dik (19th, 18:18) and senior tri-captain EJ Connor (20th, 18:19), all of whom earned All-New England status and the opportunity to run in the 2012 Meet of Champions. Senior Jakob Cronberg (31st, 18:43) and senior tri-captain Joe Rokous (40th, 19:14) rounded out the finishers for the Govs. The boys’ team worked hard all season, and the New England Championship was a well-deserved reward. Last year’s team finished third in New England, and this is the team’s first championship since 1996.

Alumni National Day of Service Sunday, November 4, 2012, marked the Academy’s first Alumni National Day of Service. Projects occurred in five states and provided more than 60 hours of service through a variety of charity efforts. Projects were performed by both organized groups and individuals. Group projects included a beach clean-up on Plum Island in Newburyport, nature trail maintenance in Portland, Maine, and volunteering at a homeless shelter in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Individual alumni worked on projects that included assisting at a homeless shelter for women in Washington State, participating in a food drive in Florida, a father/son alumni team in North Carolina worked on campus clean-up at Wake Forrest University, while another alumnus met with the Director of the Peace Corps to discuss initiatives to close political divides through service and to expand spring break programing. Thank you alumni, for carrying on the tradition of giving back to communities beyond our campus. This special program was such a success and we look forward to making this an annual event!

In Byfield Days…the History of The Governor’s Academy, 1763–2013

Available!

This beautiful, 208 page hardcover historical account begins with Richard Dummer, who came to America with early settlers aboard the Whale in 1632. He traveled with his grandson, Lieutenant Governor William Dummer, who envisioned a “grammar school” for boys to be supported by a working farm. It tells the legendary tale of Samuel Moody, the first preceptor, as eccentric as he was effective; many leading figures of the new American republic were educated by “Master Moody.” Moving on to the school’s Middle Ages (1790 –1907), when survival was not always certain, and to its Renaissance (1907–1959), when a pair of headmasters brought GDA into the modern world. The book culminates with living memory, 1959 – 2013, relying on many personal interviews of trustees, headmasters, faculty, parents, students, and admirers and is blended with rich source material from the Academy archives. Two hundred photographs and four campus maps, showing the evolution of the Academy, fill out the impressive narrative. Books are $30 and are available in the Campus Bookstore at The Governor’s Academy, at Jabberwocky Bookstore in Newburyport, MA, and on the special anniversary website, www.Govs250.org

Archival Work makes history come alive By Sharon Slater

The Archon | Fall/Winter 2012

for students

from the archives id you know that the chief engineer for the Hoover dam was a Dummer Academy alumnus? That one of the early female alumnae went on to work for Calvin and Grace Coolidge as an event organizer? That Headmaster Ted Eames wrote monthly letters to alumni in military service during World War II? Or that Rufus King, early academy alumnus and signer of the US Constitution, was one of the earliest anti-slavery politicians in US History? These are among the facts that members of the class of 2013 discovered when writing their US History research papers last year. During the past school year, students in Bill Quigley’s AP US History class researched school history as a large part of their coursework. While all US History students at The Governor’s Academy must write an original research paper using both primary and secondary sources, Mr. Quigley’s students had an additional requirement: their papers had to focus on some aspect of school history. With both its long history and its substantial archival collection, The Governor’s Academy is an institution that can make such a requirement. Senior Imogene Robinson was not pleased when she heard she would be required to research school history for her junior thesis paper. “Honestly, I was mad, at first. Sure the school’s been around longer than the country, 1763 compared to 1776, but we’re so secluded in this bubble; it felt too insular.” She was not the only one among her classmates Graduating class of 1901

to meet this requirement with skepticism. Others, like Brett Bidstrup and Bryce Turner, were uncertain that they would be able to write fifteen pages about an aspect of school history. Ultimately, both wrote papers that exceeded this minimum. The idea to require these students to write about school history came from Pescosolido Library Director Susan Chase, who hoped to highlight some of the archival treasures in addition to getting students interested in school history. Chase spoke to Quigley, who had already been working with others to help organize events for the academy’s 250th Anniversary. While several students through the years have chosen thesis topics that focused on the history of the school, this was the first time students were given this as a directive. According to Quigley, “This was an opportunity to marry the required paper with our 250th celebration.” Quigley also looked forward to providing students with the chance to work with archival materials, usually unavailable to high school students. After her initial skepticism, Imogene Robinson jumped into her research of early coeducation. When recounting her experience with the paper and its highlights, she noted the work with these archival documents, explaining, “Working with primary sources allows you to think and interpret for yourself. The process is more creative.” Some of the students followed threads that brought them to sources far from the Academy. Andy Werchniak contacted the Crowe family as part of his research on Frank Crowe, the engineer responsible for building the Shasta Dam and the Hoover Dam. After beginning the research process at Governor’s, Andy received a tip from school archivist Laurie DiModica. “Mrs. DiModica gave me the email for one of Frank Crowe’s descendents, who then put me in touch with another family member. I also emailed Dr. Rocca, who wrote a biography about Crowe. I found his email on line and he responded. He was extremely helpful.” Others found some of their best material in the Academy’s archives. Jean Bower, who wrote about the transition to coeducation in 1972, spoke enthusiastically about the old Governor issues and trustee minutes she read in her research, “[The debate about coeducation] goes way beyond what we would call political correctness today. I thought that they wanted girls because they were looking to be more open minded, but the documents showed how much it was about the money.” Not all research led to disillusion, however. Imogene Robinson, in her examination of the earlier periods of coeducation, was pleasantly surprised about the school’s motivations. “I thought, ‘they took girls because they needed money.’ Finding out about the headmasters (Horne and Parsons) made me realize that they weren’t second class to everyone....Little things like Parsons’ wife, Sarah, as an effective headmistress, made me think ‘Go Parsons!’” Classmate Brett Bidstrup was also intrigued by what she learned about alumnus Rufus King. Bidstrup had no idea when beginning her research that King had been such a progressive thinker in his era. “I just knew he was a prominent leader, but nothing more than that.” When Bidstrup learned (Continued on page 32) 30

Excerpt from “Coeducation During the Late 19th Century” by Imogene Robinson ’13 The trustees, however, voted for more than the election of a new headmaster that day. In a vote that sought to clarify admission qualifications and course schedule for new pupils, Lee recorded the following: “Voted: female pupils suitably qualified may be by the Principal admitted to the exercises of the school” (Lee). The pronouncement seems curiously understated in Lee’s careful notes, almost as an afterthought to the more eventful business of electing the Academy’s next headmaster. Among the first six girls to enroll at Dummer, Carrie G. Knight, later Carrie Knight Ambrose, became a longtime affiliate of the school following her 1876 “graduation.” In her later life, Ambrose often told stories of her days at Dummer, both good and bad. Once, when asked to solve a mathematics problem in front of the class, Ambrose needed to stand on tiptoe in order to write on the blackboard, and her teacher laughed. Ambrose said, “I didn’t want to cry, but I was mad clear through and the tears just rolled down my cheeks and wouldn’t stop.” Rather than join in, the boys went to Parsons and, in an act of nobility, demanded that the teacher “apologize for laughing at that little girl” or else they would refuse to go to class (Degen 3).

Excerpt from “Headmaster Ted Eames’ Leadership During World War II” by Thomas Canaday ’13 Headmaster Eames was not a man to bow in the face of opposition. When World War II reared its hideous head, he stared it straight in the eye and prepared to face it with the strongest weapon in his arsenal, the education of his students. From the beginning of the war to the end, Eames held true to his goal: to teach and to inspire his students to be better than they ever thought possible in the trying times in which they lived. He rallied them time and time again to donate to a multitude of war charities. He never compromised on his goal of keeping them in school until their graduations. When they did join the service, Eames wrote to them whenever he could spare the time to keep their spirits up and to give them a sense of what they were fighting for. He invited guest speakers to campus to teach students about the war. He asked students to give aid to the war effort by taking over jobs left vacant by soldiers. He introduced new courses and policies to help teach and prepare students for the war. And, when the men and boys, for whom he cared so very much, fell in battle, Eames remembered them and gave them a memorial that has not been forgotten. From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki, and even after the war, Eames remained true to his principles and to his students, asking them to apply themselves to their studies with renewed vigor, for “How else can we reassure ourselves on this fateful morning, when the smoke still towers 20,000 feet over Hiroshima, that the mightiest force in the universe is still the power of human love?” (The Greatest Invention of the Human Race)

of his significant role as a member of the style committee in the writing of the US Constitution, she was impressed. Her admiration grew when reading about his opposition to slavery during a time in which that was uncommon. “So much of what he did was impressive, but no one even knows about it. So many people aren’t really acknowledged in history, so many stories that could be brought out, but instead are forgotten.” While Quigley’s students spent a large part of junior year working on these papers, the work did not stop in the spring for them, as it does for most students. Although these Academy historians had already received grades on their thesis papers, they continued to research and revise with several additional goals in mind. A small group, including Brett Bidstrup, Andy Werchniak, Nora Hamovit, and Jean Bower, presented their research and findings to alumni and faculty during last spring’s Reunion Weekend. These

presentations, held in the Little Red Schoolhouse, were in many ways a trial run for the big show. The work of these students will be the featured event on the Academy’s 250th Founders Day, this March 1, 2013. During this time, all of the researchers will present their papers, along with a power point, to the school community. Although this was not initially part of Quigley’s plan when he first assigned the papers, he was happy with the evolution of this idea, which came from the 250th planning committee. Quigley explains, “As the steering committee planned events, they wanted the day to be student centered and they chose to make the papers the focus for the day.” Many of the authors are still in the process of revising their writings and pulling together images to accompany their Founder’s Day presentations. All who would like to read these papers in their entirety will be able to do so at The Governor’s Academy 250th website, www.Govs250.org.

The Brothers HENRY on what makes the academy special Planned gifts are the foundation upon which the Academy was built. Today, these types of gifts continue to play a vital role in the life and times at the Academy. It’s terrific knowing the thoughtful plans of the Henry brothers, John ’56 and Dick ’60, are creating opportunities for continued excellence, access, and achievement in South Byfield. 1

a pretty easy decision When it came time for me to go away to school, it was a pretty easy decision. I had been to South Byfield many times to watch John play soccer and over those years had met many of the school’s inimitable fixtures: Buster Navins, Ben Stone, James Bariskill, to name but a few. I knew that was where I wanted to be, but could I have known then the place the Academy would hold in my heart fifty years later? How well I remember John Witherspoon beginning an announcement at an evening meeting, “In keeping with the school’s policy of ‘everything for the boys’…” We all laughed, and then cheered wildly as he announced a trip to Boston to see a Bruins hockey game! But it really was ‘everything for the boys.’ A group of men (unfortunately, all men at that time) devoting their every waking hour to seek and draw out the best in each 34

of us to prepare us for our lives ahead. As I walked around an eerily quiet campus late last June, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of all those familiar buildings, I saw Dave Williams at the entrance to Dick ‘60 and wife, Anne, with their grandchildren. the dining hall; I saw Heb Evans and Bob Anderson on the lacrosse field; I saw Ted Eames and Val Willkie walking down the steps from Mansion House, and I saw Buster Navins at the door to the room in Peirce 1 that John and I each

a game changer I was in an academic race to the bottom my freshman year in public high school. Rolling the dice, my parents, Ted Eames, and GDA had a different path in mind for me. In a restart I repeated my freshman 3 year at GDA and the first day of Latin I class John ‘56 and his wife, Kate Buster Navins got in my face and said “Are you ready to get serious about your education and your life.” I did not know it at the time but this encounter and my four years at GDA were “game changers.” Buster, the Old Guard, and the GDA culture instilled in me and my classmates the values and motivation to achieve academically and realize our full potential. Those of us who attended our fiftieth reunion several years ago all agreed that the GDA experience was THE critical turning point in our lives and for that experience we are all very grateful. The friendships formed at GDA have been lifelong—Jim Healy, Hunt Blatchford, Tom Elder, Herb Hodos, to name just a few. One of the marvelous things to observe is the transformation of the Academy over the years. Times have changed and the school has been at the forefront in adapting to this change. The Academy’s student

diversity (22 states and 12 foreign countries), expanded curriculum (125 programs in 6 academic departments), athletic programs, fine arts, performing arts, and community services options are extraordinary. Coursework now includes Mandarin, computer, marine, and environmental sciences. There are also several very innovative offerings including the S.M.A.R.T team MIT Partnership, Catalyst Internships as well as multi-cultural exchange partnerships with the UK, China, South Africa, and Kenya. On a personal note I have been honored to assist a young student in her pursuit of a Governor’s education. With the encouragement of Marty Doggett, this student applied, was accepted on a scholarship, and is now excelling in all areas of school life. She has her eyes on an Ivy League school and is interested in a career in health care. The impact that the Academy has made on her life has been extraordinary. I am confident that she is not an exception but rather typical of what the Academy instills in its students. In conclusion, the academic experience as presented by The Governor’s Academy is clearly enriching and provides the students with the foundation to become superior global citizens. What could be better than that? With this game changing impact so clearly beneficial to the students, Kate and I are very excited to include The Governor’s Academy in our estate distribution plans.

occupied in our senior year. And was it Web Dann I saw running beside our car as we left campus driving toward the Parker River bridge? Shortly after we were married, Anne and I moved into a dormitory at Milton Academy as she began her forty-year career as a teacher, advisor, academic dean and assistant headmaster—and I began my happy and fulfilling life as a “faculty spouse,” living among so many special men and women, working so hard to bring out the best in each and every boy and girl who came under their wings, whether it be in the classroom, on the playing field, in the theater, or just in the dormitory. What a joy it was for us to see how these teachers helped shape the lives of each of our kids. And what a joy it is for both of us to see our older daughter devoting her life to independent school education—and to see how

she has already made a difference in the young lives of so many of her students. So when we stopped to think about who we would like to remember in our estate plans, including The Governor’s Academy was a pretty easy decision.

Her devotion to finding a cure for her cancer was so strong that it not only took her into nursing, but also led her to ride in the Pan Mass Challenge. Since 2009, she raised over $40,000 for cancer research. At her request, a fund for Osteosarcoma research has been created to continue her great work.

Ted Bergmann ’37 announces that his granddaughter, Elise, entered the Academy in September 2012 and became the third generation Bergmann to become a student at the school. Her father, grandfather, and two uncles preceded her. John Gannett ’39 sends his update in the form of song lyrics. He is: “Singin’ a song, rollin’ along, side by side.” Bob Harris ’42 had to give up cycling, his best activity, due to a cantankerous knee, the cap of which he busted skiing during his junior year at GDA! Humphrey Simson ’42 did not have a good winter and spring. First he had a blood infection and spent two days in the hospital. Next he fell and broke his hip and right leg and was in the hospital again. In April he took the family on a Caribbean cruise—with a cane, walker, and electric wheelchair. When he got home, he felt a pain in his side, went to

mind his class that “Our 70th is coming next year and a visit to South Byfield should be in your plans, even if some people call it Governor’s, we know better. We of the old guard owe it to Tom, Buster, Mac, Arthur, Ben, Ted, and the others to show up for GDA. Hope to see you then.” Ben and his wife, Teresa, are both doing well. Peter Morgan and Ben Mann report that they are “both alive and taking nourishment.”

Gordon Hoyt is still playing some golf, moving rocks, and clearing the yard, etc. He, his wife Cynthia, and his dog Chumley are all doing well. Jim Waugh writes that his fourth son, Seth, has resigned as CEO at Deutsche Bank and is now teaching an economics

class in high school. Four of his sons and one granddaughter are now in the teaching profession. Steve Kauffman and his wife Teresa are both doing well. He writes “When one of the other old folks here at Williamsburg Landing CCRC asks me how I’m doing, I answer, ‘So far so good.’ I heard that if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. I’ve got a dog named Jenny. Since I feed her twice a day and walk her for half an hour in the morning, she is my friend.’ ” He hopes most of his classmates are staying well and still looking down at the green grass and looks forward to hearing from them.

Bob Steinart retired from Hughes Aircraft in 1992, eons ago. He is now 84. He is partially paralyzed and lives in an upscale assisted-living facility in Peterborough, NH. He still drives his car, which the doctor discourages, and he quotes the line, “If you don’t like my driving, get off the sidewalk.” He has two surviving daughters, both now in their 40s, one good-looking and charming, the other merely good-looking, and both are parents of his two grandchildren; one is a brilliant 13-yr old boy who discusses quantum mechanics, (a subject Mr. Dunning in the 1940s knew not of), and the other is a merely very bright 10-yr old granddaughter who charms everyone and gives good advice to her school prin-

cipal on how to run things. Bob passes his time playing with his computer, and doing a lot of reading: pop science, theology, junk detective stories, and he also naps a lot. He says “the key to retirement is to do nothing and rest afterward.” He sends best regards to all.

He enjoyed seeing his four great-grandchildren, grandson, and wife, and daughter, Angela. His son, John, and his wife, Helen had their first child in June: William Nelson Ambrose, who Homer believes will become a good lacrosse player! Jim Knott is staying busy with his latest project. He bought the church just up the hill from

where he and Betty live. He wanted to preserve the structure but there was no longer any congregation using it, so he plans to convert the interior into two apartments, retaining the belfry. Kevin Gaffney and his wife, Hope, have an expanding family comprised of 5 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. Their granddaughter Meghan and her husband Matt had twins nine months ago—a boy and a girl. Their granddaughter Rose and her fiancée, Brian will be married in January.

doing volunteer work for a food bank and at a senior center supporting guests there, even those younger than himself. He also keeps busy with his garden and caring for a 3 ½ year old grandchild. Page Coulter, wife of the late Bob Coulter, shared Bob’s appreciation for his friendships at The Academy with Manson Hall. She “was amazed at how many of [their] friends were able to make the journey to remember him on such short notice…his Governor Dummer days were among his best. He certainly valued the education he received there, and often spoke of his favorite (and not so favorite) teachers.” Bob’s father, class of 1913, won the very first Morse Flag, which Page has offered to The Academy for its archives as Bob suggested some years ago. The Academy has eagerly accepted. Don Wochomurka graduated from Nichols Junior College and then joined the family button business and then moved to another company. Don and his wife are currently caring for a 90 year old uncle in a downsized home. Brocky Martin, lives in Ventura, CA and is still working parttime in his own business. After Yale and the Navy, Brock worked in insurance for 3 years, then 15 years for a paper company before ending up working for a computer outfit building circuit boards. He now builds circuit boards with his own company. He keeps fit playing tennis 2 to 3 times a week. Bill Reid attended Washington and Lee after graduating from the Academy and then entered the U.S. Army serving in Metz, France with the C.I.C. He separated from the Army over there and then traveled extensively for two years through Europe and the Middle East before returning to the States. Bill worked as stockbroker for a couple of years, then

as an investment counselor and trust officer for the 5th 3rd Bank. He married wife Phyllis and they have three children and one grandchild. Bill has kept busy in his leisure time with golf, tennis, squash, and paddle tennis. Rick Tyler attended Colby College after graduating from the Academy. He and his wife, Ann, have two sons living in Salt Lake City and two in Denver. He still skis and plays golf and tennis. Manson Hall and his wife Ann drove up to Byfield for an afternoon of watching various games and attended the dinner celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the school. They watched the Governor’s smother Rivers School by a score of 54 to 15 in football and score wins in field hockey and volleyball. That evening they were joined by Bill Judson and his son Steve, a GDA graduate, Ed Veasey and his wife Zoe, Gordon Price and his wife Susan, and Tom Otis and wife Mina, Dave Etsy ’50, and Headmaster Emeritus Jack Ragle. Manson and his wife also journeyed to New Hampshire with Ash Eames ’48, to read and discuss with their Amherst College classmates three books—The Prince, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Those who Save Us.

Dave Esty acted as Jack Ragle’s chauffeur and bodyguard at the Academy’s 250th celebration. Their dinner table was splendidly top-heavy with ’49ers Manse Hall, Gordie

Price, Tom Otis, Bill Judson

and Ed Veasey with their wives. Jack still sparkles at 91 years and commanded the noisy table nicely. Tim Greene spent time at Vero Beach in Florida last spring. His sister lives nearby. He also celebrated with a big birthday bash for his 80th this past summer. There were about 50 people in attendance, he said, “to make sure he behaved properly.” Willy Nordwind is back in Scottsdale Arizona. He is as fine as one can be on a regular schedule of dialysis. Charlie Bowen has been traveling extensively. He reports that the highlight of his trip down the Danube to the Black Sea was the extension in Romania to Transylvania. He and his wife Calvine took that trip with Dave Hershey and his wife, Barbara. Charlie and Calvine were to fly to Lima in a few days to spend time with Charlie’s sister, who has been living there for 45 years. Charlie and Calvine will leave Peru on a small cruise ship up the coast to Costa Rica and then through the Panama Canal to the city of Panama. After a few days of sightseeing, they will fly from Panama to Miami to Chicago to be “home at last.” Bill “Denny” Engs has been sending reports of earlier events as he approached his 80th birthday, including bicycling trips on Highway 18 from Crestline to San Bernadino and a 105 mile trip in Wisconsin in 1997. Bill celebrated his 80th birthday on August 4th with an early morning hike despite early June hip replacement surgery and a surprise birthday cake in the evening. Bob Dickerman attended Providence Country Day through the eleventh grade before entering Governor Dummer for his senior year, presumably because Mr. Eames assured his parents that he could get him into Amherst. After Amherst and the Air Force, Bob spent 45 years back at Providence Coun-

Class notes try Day as a teacher, coach, and athletic director. He is still at the school as a voluntary assistant in baseball and caretaker of the diamond. At graduation this year, Bob received a diploma from Providence Country Day. Dave Etsy and his Amherst classmates, upon reaching 80, decided to consider wills, estate planning, cemetery plots, hospice, etc. Dave, as their president, sent a thoughtful and personal message to all about care-giving and the acceptance of the finality of last moments. He is willing to share it with any classmates who are interested. Alan Flynn and his wife, Emi, took a trip down the Danube to the Black Sea in May. In July and August their two children and five grandchildren occupied the house in Martha’s Vineyard, after which they were “exhausted but gratified.” In late August, they flew to Calgary for a trip to the Canadian Rockies. They went up the Ice Fields parkway to Jasper National Park where they saw evergreen trees, black bears, and glaciers. They also visited Banff National Park, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, and the Bannf Gondola before boarding the Rocky Mountaineer train to Kamloops for one night and then on to Vancouver, where they visited relatives. Cliff George passed away last spring from cancer, and is remembered fondly by his sophomore roommate, Manson Hall. He has happy memories of Cliff inviting him to his home in Haverhill to meet his family and fix him up with dates, and traveling across the country together in Cliff ’s convertible a few years after graduation in a most memorable trip which included stealing a chicken and sleeping in a jail in Minnesota because of torrential weather.

In January 2012, he had surgery on right side of his nose for a cancer problem, which he reports was “tantamount to torture.” He was supposed to go to Hamilton, Mass. in February, near the Academy, for the sled dog races, but Mother Nature would not cooperate with any snow, and the races were cancelled. January 2012 was a good month, as he paid off his home mortgage as well as a car loan—“that’s how you spell ’relief!’ ” Due to an April 2011 hailstorm, he got to replace roofs on his two homes in SC, “what a drag.” Finally, his primary news, after 5 years as a widow, on April 2, 2012, he got married again to a lady by the name of Anne Baskin.

Mike Dunsford came east from Truckee, CA with his grandson Keaton to attend high level football camps at Harvard and Yale. While in the Boston area they visited GDA and met with Headmaster Emeritus Marty Doggett. Mike also dined with Nuff and June Withington and Gump and Patty Hayden. At that dinner, the brain trust of the Class of 1958 solved many of the problems of the world and managed to relive several of the fun times they shared in South Byfield 50+ years ago. Jim Main and his wife, Claudette continue to travel around the world. Ralph E. Ardiff, Jr. rode his bicycle 192 miles in 2 days in the PanMass Challenge for the eleventh year to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. He reports: “the miles seemed longer and the hills seem steeper each year, but it is a worthwhile cause. One of my daughters is a patient at Dana Farber so it has special meaning for our family.” He is still working, but at a slower pace than in years past. He still enjoys going to the office each day.

Peter Sherin had a great vacation of fishing, hiking, and kayaking trip in Alaska this summer with his 27 year old son David.

His son caught salmon and Peter muscled a 75 lb. Halibut into the boat. Alan Tucker wrote: “I’ve been retired for nearly 14 years, and enjoy a variety of pastimes. It just takes me longer to do them. I don’t golf much anymore, I’ve cut back on gardening, I enjoy my n-scale electric trains, I ride a Prodeco electric bicycle which is an absolute blast (I do 20–25 miles each time I take it out), the church is a big thing in my life (sing in the choir, cook breakfasts regularly, philanthropic stuff), and most importantly enjoy my family. Ruth and I have just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary! We have four children—Gregory, Rachel, Garett, and Cheryl. All are married with kids, and that’s seven grandchildren for us. We also have two great grandchildren and, of course, they’re all beautiful and above average! Going back to “philanthropic stuff ”, if anyone is interested in bribing our school to change its name back to ’Governor Dummer Academy’, count me in.” Bob Pouch exhibited his photographs at the Stephen B. Luce Library at the SUNY Maritime College in Throgs Neck, New York in September. The exhibit addressed the maritime communities’ response and rescue efforts in New York Harbor and North Cove Marina on 9/11. Bob served as the New York State Commissioner of the Board of Commissioners of Pilots of the State of New York and as the Board’s Executive Director until his retirement in 2008. Bob and his wife Susan attended his 50th anniversary class reunion at the Maine Maritime Academy in September. Bob continues to serve on the boards of several charitable organizations. Howard Medwed’s son, Daniel, wrote a book entitled Prosecution Complex which examines wrongful convictions due to prosecutor misdeeds. The book

has been well received and Daniel now teaches at Northeastern University Law School. Howard and his wife, Mameve, joined a Princeton classmate and his French wife in Paris in October. Mameve is still writing and publishing and Howard is still practicing law, although he is “taking longer vacations.” Bill Whiting reported that he and his wife, Bobbi, recently took their first overseas vacation in Ireland. Bobbi still works as a CFO of a local private elementary school and Bill is “overinvolved” with town activities and is looking forward to retiring again. Their daughter, Brooke’92 moved back to the area in Concord, Mass. with her husband Jon and two daughters, and Bill enjoys having them close enough to share weekend fun. Walt Cannon wrote: “I have finally retired and no longer have to answer calls day and night. Monday through Friday is now a different world. I quickly lose track of the day of the week and date. I am now spending more time with our 11 grandkids who are scattered all over the world.” Walt served as a thoracic surgeon with the Stanford University Medical Center. Topper Terhune writes that in October he spent a week fishing in Michigan on the Manistee River with a bunch of fishing buddies from Dayton and caught some nice big Steelheads. He also spent three weeks this summer with Brian Marsh and his wife Aleksandra in England and Italy. They jointly rented a 650 year old villa in Tuscany near San Gimignano for 2 weeks. Topper wrote: “Brian and I spent a lot of time talking about our days at GDA, the state of the world and the economy, while drinking a lot of VERY good local wine. All in all it was a glorious vacation.” Topper also enjoys playing golf and continues to work full time at the Ad Agency, with no immediate plans to retire.

As the weather in Byfield is likely beginning to move from Summer to Fall, memories celebrated last June are taking on a mellow character. A few phone calls to people who for one reason or another pop into my mind as I begin to craft another newsletter. I grew up in Northern New Jersey and when the weather starts to turn, it always conjures up very special feelings: memories of rustling leaves, apple cider, football, soccer and the like as well as times when we begin to focus on getting closure on yet another year, our 50th. What a great showing was in evidence for the 50th. Where to begin? The 50th Reunion Class of 1962 felt it appropriate to honor long time Master, Bill Sperry, as an official member of the Class of ’62. A plaque was also placed in Mr. Sperry’s classroom where he aptly held court for students for well over 35 years. Tim McNally and Peter Machinist presented a well-deserved profile of our honoree before we convened the reunion at our class dinner. We were also blessed to have emeritus Headmaster Val Wilkie in attendance over the weekend to celebrate with us. The school saw this weekend as the perfect time to honor Val by naming the new Performing Arts Center in his honor, Wilkie Center for the Performing Arts. Perfect. Some

reminiscences from the weekend. Here’s what you missed! Conversation a few days ago with Bob MacLaughlin yielded more great memories as well. Those who were around for the annual reunion Pie Race event may recall Bob getting off to an inauspicious start with missteps in the first 50 yards. Never fear Bob came to play, to participate and it was only long legged and sure footed Ted Moore who outdistanced Bob. (Special note: I learned while preparing these notes that you can watch a live-action YouTube video of this auspicious ritual, albeit a class that includes women. Wouldn’t that have been an interesting twist to our history!) Ham Agnew fashionably dressed for the occasion was all smiles with a lovely friend from years past in hand. Ham posted an array of photos to appear soon. Ted and Ginny Moore came all the way from Alaska. Ted hadn’t been back to GDA since graduation day after vaulting over the wall in front of the Mansion House with the rest of us. After renewing old friendships Bob lured Ted and Ginny to kayak for a couple of days on Penobscot Bay. Ray Bird and wife, Joan made a special moment with several other classmates to memorialize classmate John Tarbell who passed away two years previous. Karen and I went for dinner in New York on the way to the Reunion for a special remembrance of a very special friend with Anne Tarbell. She is doing well and daughter, Liza will graduate from high school in June, 2013. The inimitable Nils Bjork was in attendance, perhaps the most recognizable member of the class. Tall and slim, participating in the pie race as usual and sharing his thesis on a theory of global warming in an afternoon seminar. Frank Bond traveling from his native, New Mexico, enthralled

us with a rigorous and thoughtful history of his beloved peregrine falcon. Frank had just stepped down from a 5-year chairmanship of the International Association of Falconry. Frank left soon after the reunion to attend the annual meeting in of the IAF in Belgium. Peter Butler and his wife, Marie regaled us with stories of their many travels. Peter continues to keep fit by running triathlons, hiking mountains and tending to home projects like the rest of us. Peter and Tom had a great time over several months’ time tracking down our classmates. One unnamed member emailed shortly after reunion to ask when the 51st Reunion was happening! Tom discovered upon returning home that Doug Coupe regretted not being able to attend. Tom also learned that Doug Coupe had returned to the Academy for a period of time to coach and teach in the late sixties. Doug was just named as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Springfield College in Springfield, Mass. for the second time. He has been a member of the board for 17 years. John Davagian was on hand for all the festivities at reunion. Following the dinner held in the conference room of the Whiston• Bragdon Arena, John was seen carefully perusing the trophy room recalling games with a special longing for those old times on the ice. Howard and Diane Durfee trekked all the way from Anna, TX. One member of the class reminisced of what he referred to as “Durf ” when he was prowling the wrestling room in the Alumni Gym. We didn’t realize until years later of his interest and ability as a singer of hymns. Jim Everett was absent from the attendees but he did report in to Peter Butler that he was attending his son’s graduation from a doctoral program at Michigan. There were several in

the class who asked about Jim. He practiced medicine in South Weymouth, Mass. Denis Golden was there to be sure. It was great to see him with all of his customary theatrics, great humor and humility. Deni’s brother, Terry made sure that Denis made it to the Reunion, from beginning to end. What a joy to see him. Jim Gordon and wife, Marsha were on hand from the Seattle area. Jim has had a successful career in the investment business, specifically in the Northwest area of the country. The crowd waited a few extra minutes at the start of the Pie Race but Jim didn’t show. Must be that nagging injury that kept him out. Stan Healy was there on Friday night. He was heading off to welcome a grandchild into the world the following day. Stan looked great and glad he made the effort to come for the dinner. Bob James was there from his home in Naples, Florida. It was wonderful to see him after many years out of touch. Apparently Bob and his wife, Mary are regular opera goers, particularly enamored with the Santa Fe Opera. Ben Jameson has not wandered far from home living in Newburyport. Ben and wife, Ellen will be celebrating their first family wedding of their era on September 29th. This wedding will be extra special in that their daughter, Heather ’02, will be wed in the Mosley Chapel at the Academy on that day. What more could provide a better backdrop to the wedding but the forthcoming 250th Reunion of the school’s founding. Congratulations Jamesons! I am glad the wedding comes first! Mark Johnson and his wife, Patty, arrived having been on the road for some time. It is so wonderful to hear all what has transpired to the class now that many members are wandering off into retirement. No one seems to be slowing down however, especial-

ly Mark and Patty! Steve Kasnet and his wife, Missy were at the top of their game, especially being one of the hosts of the 250th Anniversary that will kick off on September 29th. I just heard from Steve that they are expecting 740+ at the Gala Dinner. This will be one of many events during this 250th year. Keep your eye on activities on the school calendar. Peter Kelly and his wife, Cherylann live in native Newburyport. Peter’s daughter-in-law, Dionne has been partly responsible for helping to produce The Archon in your email box for several years. Burke Leahey and wife, Barbara were in attendance, despite having double duty as roving grandparents. We appreciated your extra effort and presence. Peter Machinist and his wife, Alice were present from the beginning to the end of the Reunion weekend. There was one moment on Saturday evening when there were two or three people waiting in line for the chance to talk with the professor. Peter is just as focused, interested and engaged as he was 50 years ago. Am I surprised? Not one iota. Tim McNally was instrumental in putting together our tribute to Bill Sperry. Tim’s glib presentation having had Bill as football coach and Peter B. as a history student was the perfect combination of brains and brawn. Tim’s partner, Maureen Nicholson, was thankfully gathering photo evidence of the event. Bill McPhee produced a remarkable tribute to Mr. Sperry, the teacher and the academic. Bill’s daughter and son came from Florida for this special occasion. Mr. Sperry was very moved by our invitation for him to become a life-time member of the Class of 1962. There were few dry eyes in the room. Rob Michel and his wife, Carol, made their way from Quebec, Canada. Rob and Carol were the

Class notes first to arrive at our 40th reunion and active attendees for the weekend for the 50th. Bob Orcutt, who many were anticipating seeing at the Reunion holds the best excuse for not making it to Byfield in June. Bob spent his career as a large animal veterinarian of some note in nearby Ipswich. My best understanding is in the course of his profession Bob was kicked by a horse and broke his leg and may have sustained other injuries as well. Be well, Dr. Bob. Charlie Pyne and his wife, Betsy, arrived from home in Norfolk, Mass. Betsy was like a member of the local paparazzi during the Reunion parade. It was very clear that so many class members made the effort to come for this once in a lifetime event. Al “Pebble” Rock had to bow out at the last minute due to an emergency medical event. Slater Smith was on hand for the class luncheon in the venerable Cobb Room the site of many tension-filled school announcements in our day at the Academy. Slater and his family have remained in Sherborn. I didn’t have the opportunity to find out if he is still playing golf. Bob Snyder and his wife, Ellen were looking fit and apparently spending as much time as possible in their alternate residence in Pelican Key, St. Marten. Warren Steele was present and an appropriate participant at the Veteran’s forum in what I will always remember as Mac Murphy’s classroom. It was certainly a treat to be sitting at the same table with Val Wilkie and Warren almost as if we were students again. When I saw Nick Strater I was immediately reminded of my first “free” weekend when we were released to family or friends for the weekend. I have fond memories of these precious, unencumbered times off campus. I lived in New Jersey which seemed a long way

away from home at that time. I was particularly pleased to see Colin Studds. Colin and his family were a special anchor for me while, so far from home. Colin and his parents welcomed me into their home in Cohasset a number of times. Little did I understand at the time how far classmates like Frank Bond had traveled to the Academy from his native New Mexico. The event of this 50th Reunion was a wonderful time travel back in time during an influential period in all of our lives. If I do say, we dressed up pretty darn well under the circumstances! Tay W. Vaughn III (previously known as Warren) spirited the Reunion with the introduction of his bride, Marcia Van Gemert. As many of you know Tay is quite a craftsman, having built a few houses in his day. He is reported as recently as September 22, 2012 that he is putting the finishing touches to his “last” house in Port Republic, MD. Andy and Rhodie Whittemore arrived at the class luncheon in the Cobb Room where our class had gathered so many times during our tenure at the Academy. Andy and his wife both sported broad smiles no doubt reflective of Andy’s recent retirement as Chief Medical Officer of Brigham Womens Hospital. It is widely known that “many hundreds of patients and families have been positively impacted by donation and transplantation both at BWH and elsewhere.” Other members of “The Great Class of ’62” who were recognized in spirit—

Moore, Jim O’Dea, Bob Orcutt, Tony Pearson, Ken Pouch and Jebs Selden. We have all now reached the milestone of fifty years since matriculating at Master Moody School in Byfield. The coming years will bring on new challenges and new goals for the future. The key to keeping in touch is “STAYING IN TOUCH”. This all depends on all of us. Today’s era of technology leaves little excuse for a brief text, email, tweet or even a phone call. Life is good. Let us all continue to enjoy it.

Don Hudson, who has retired from Unitil, and has been elected to be the moderator of the Byfield Parish Association church, a position held for many years by John Witherspoon. The moderator is responsible for all administrative matters of the church, including running all the business meetings. The Byfield Parish is the oldest congregational church in the country having been founded in 1702 and currently has about 250 members. Don’s father, also a GDA graduate, is an elder of the church. Don and his wife, Robin, also sing with the choir. Dana Woodward attended the opening dinner for the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the school. Tom Heald authored a book, A Practical Guide to Construction Law in Rhode Island. Jim Connolly attended a couple of school events in Boston, including the annual Holiday Gathering at the Harvard Club and the Boston Business Luncheon at the Boston Harbor Hotel which featured a talk by Charlie Baker. George Tower

is now residing at the Northeast Center for Special Care in the Hudson Valley.

Win Burt spends a lot of time clearing land at his place in Maine, with chainsaw and brush hog, and at the end of each day enjoys opening a cold beer and admiring the new-round open land. “Pure sensual pleasure,” he calls it. Jeff Harris met up with Mike Miles in Clearwater, Florida, “to drink a couple beers and swap a few stories.” In August, Jeff vacationed in Williamsburg with kids and grandtykes. While visiting Yorktown, Jeff walked over “Tobacco Road,” which led to “not being able to get the song of the same name out of my head and a yet-unresolved discussion with Rem Clark and Reid Pugh about the Blues Magoos’ version of the tune from ‘Psychedelic Lollipop’ and whose album it was.” Chuck Davis visited Shanghai, China in October with his wife, Marna for Hershey’s first-ever board meeting outside of the United States. Bob Bass rotated off the Stanford Board of Trustees after serving two stints for 23 years, including four years as chair. He will still be a director of Stanford Management Company for a few more years, and his business is “still fun and going strong.” Ward Westhafer and his wife, Barb, had to miss the 250th due to a celebration in New Jersey, where their second grandchild, Landon, had just been born. Harper Follansbee retired from full-time teaching at Kingswood-Oxford.

He has taken up a new vocation as an English tutor and is slowly building up his clientele. He also ran two creative writing workshops last summer for middle school students. He greatly enjoys his new role, exclaiming, “What a joy it is to teach students who love to write!” Rich Brayton, flew to Scotland with Mardi to hike the Monroes “and other outlandishly rugged and difficult slopes throughout the Northwestern coast and the Isle of Skye.” Next they set off for the English Lake Country, where they “celebrated their return to civilization at L’Enclume, known for its 16-course degustation of elegant entrees, and was washed down with a bottle of chilled Pinot Grigio.” Stanley Greenberg did his communing with Mother Nature in Maine’s Deer Isle Archipelago. He, his kids, and some friends set out to Stev’s Island on a kayaking/camping trip. “The natural beauty was tremendous,” Stanley reports, “and I found several stone creatures, including a polar bear, encapsulated in the ancient granite. We swam in the quarry on Green Island, paddled out to Isle Au Haut, braved the swells on the outside, and deadreckoned back to Webb Cove in dense fog. Who knew the islands create their own rain when the fog condenses on the spruce trees. Kissing the Eel is Good Luck.” Scott “Surfer Boy” Cameron was back in Malibu on September 8. He was at Our Lady of Malibu Church for his daughter Katharine’s wedding to Brian O’Malley. Scott is now an enthusiastic San Diego Padres fan since Brian is one of the new owners. Mick Doolittle, will be in Charlotte, N.C., December 28 for the wedding of his daughter Britt, a lawyer with K&L Gates. David Marsh serves as a globetrotter for Save the Children and reports: “My extended clan has suffered lots of decline,

disability and death—which makes ‘saving the children’ all the more important for the Great Cycle of Life. Still the usual beat: Zambia, Ethiopia and Malawi with a ’break’ to Nicaragua (same time-zone more or less and DAY-TIME flights). Starting to seriously ponder the next step. Hopefully there is one before those 3 Ds.” Bill Haggerty and his partners sold MST (Material Sampling Technologies), in June, the company they started in 2009. Alan Rothfeld hopes to track the route of the first transcontinental railroad (Omaha to Sacramento) this coming spring and may write about its present-day footprint. Meanwhile, he’s planning to buy a place in Manhattan Beach and is taking three-day microvacations all over California. Alan is a consultant in several areas and is teaching half-time at Claremont and USC. Mac Barnes and his wife, Anne, were in Kruger National Park in South Africa in October, where, as of Columbus Day, they had counted “12 lions, 4 leopards, 4 cheatahs, 6 rhinos, dozens of giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, warthogs, hundreds of elephants, buffalos, impalas, zebras, wildebeasts, waterbucks, kuduz, and on and on. Really worth the trip.” Mac also traveled to York, Maine, the homestead of his clan, the McIntires. Since Samuel Moody is a York native, too, GDA is mentioned in the York history museum. “I read at the museum that ‘Moody was a great educator,” Mac says “and at one time the entire faculty of Harvard, three teachers and the director, were graduates of GDA.’” AnneMarie Laverty is standing for president of the New Westminster—Coquitlam Liberal riding association in British Columbia. Reid Pugh is “still traveling a ridiculous amount on business” though he says his “ little manufacturing business is 1) slow

right now, and 2) for sale.” Current destinations: New Orleans, Mobile, Atlanta, San Diego, Chicago, Washington, DC, and his favorite: Richmond, home of his amazing 20-month-old granddaughter. He is in St. Augustine one week out of five, and football weekends he is usually in Morgantown, WV. Dan Morgan journeyed to Thessaloniki, Greece, in June to attend a board meeting of The American Farm School, founded in 1904. The school prepares its graduates for prominent roles in community life and in the agriculture and food sectors by teaching farming and business practices that are economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially responsible . Bill Dougherty and his wife, Cynthia, have been immersed in a major home remodeling project in Pultneysville, NY since August 1 and hope to be done by Valentine’s Day. Bill continues to work with a small family office on wealth management/ investment topics/counseling. Sid Bird’s corrections career has just hit 40 years. His son Michael now has a motorcycle license, and Sid said that “seeing him ride away on my 1979 Honda XL500 was a pleasure we’ve both probably been anticipating for 19 years.” Thanks to Skype, Sid now gets to see his daughter, Laurie, in Florida every Sunday. Paul and Bart Hemmerich had their best bike tour ever last summer. They drove from New Hampshire to Montana, then just over the border to Cranbrook, BC. The Granite Staters biked to Banff and on to Jasper. After motoring back to Cranbrook, they rode to Glacier National Park. The whole trip was about 550 miles in the saddle. Their third grandchild, Parker, was born on September 5. Lew Rumford reports that his son Will, a recent Denison grad, is headed to Minneapolis, where he has landed a

job with Target. Ben Beach is a communications advisor at the State Department’s one-year-old Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations. Its mission is to break cycles of violence is places such as Syria, Burma, Kenya, and the northern tier of Central America.

Ted Nahil writes in “hopes this finds you well and that everyone’s had a wonderful summer. Before we get started, there’s a correction from the last issue to make: the picture is of Jon Williams, not Windsor White as indicated. Sorry for the mistake.” The Class of ’68 has also lost track of Danny “Red Dogg” Ogg and hope that if he is reading, he will reconnect! Marc “Tuck” Tucker delivered a eulogy at the funeral of long time faculty member, Bob Anderson, at the Moseley Chapel in May. Bob was posthumously

Class notes inducted into the Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame the day before the service. Peter Barkin,

Chris Page, Steve Robinson and Jay Worthen attended Bob’s service and paid tribute to the wonderful influence he had on their lives. Art “Veas” Veasey writes that he and Tuck recently kayaked the Merrimack from West Newbury to Amesbury and back. Earlier in June, they attended reunion weekend in order to be present at the Class of ’62’s surprise dedication of the Sperry Classroom. In July, he published his first novella, The Diary of Molly Makepeace, which is available electronically for a variety of e-readers. In August, he, Tuck, Jay, Wayne

“Bubba” Barbaro, Robbie and Bill “Billy D.” Degen got together for a relaxed lunch on the deck at Michael’s Harborside. Elliott O’Reilly and Paul Gares took to biking for good causes in September. Elliott rode for Team Irving in the New England Parkinson’s Ride, benefitting the Michael J. Fox Foundation—54 miles around Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford and Kennebunkport, ME. He raised over $2,500 and thanks

kin, Rico Haas, Jay, Tuck, Chuck Johnson and Charles Johnson for their support! Paul did his sixth ride in the MS 150, an event that raises money for not only MS, but other neurological disorders including ALS. Charles Johnson is gradually easing into retirement and trying to weather the worst drought conditions since the Dust Bowl era. They had 23 consecutive days of 95+ degrees (pollen dies at 95 degrees) with most of those days over 100 degrees. Laura’s garden suffered a total wipe out, even watering couldn’t offset the high temps. Their yields have ranged from a low of 8 bu. of corn up to the upper 80 bu. range. The soybeans should do a little better because it is a more drought resistant and the late rains coupled with lower temps. They were fortunate to have very good crop insurance

but only about 50% of farmers took any out. On a brighter note, son, Spencer, is doing quite well at Reitz Memorial Catholic H.S. grade wise and made the JV tennis team as a freshman and is the first up to the Varsity if he is needed. Charles is planning on being at GDA next summer for the 250th/45th celebration and really looks forward to seeing the usual suspects plus, hopefully, some new faces. He hopes for a large number of classmates, and former teachers, not to achieve anything more than to see them again. He has come to realize that his 4 years spent with them constitute the best 4 years of his premarriage life. While he doesn’t think of those experiences on a daily basis, he can truthfully say that a GDA connected thought runs thru his mind at least once a week. GDA wasn’t his first away from home experience, but

it was his best—surpassing even college. Dan “Grande” Look reports that all is well with his clan. They have had some new arrivals to the family tree and some upcoming weddings to continue to expand the branches. He and Anne have had an adventurous summer. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to England. They snuck in on the last day of the Queen’s Jubilee and got out just before the Olympics started. They spent five days in London and a week on the south coast at the Channel. They did not have an opportunity to get up into Scotland, but found out they we will be going up there next summer for his nephew’s wedding. Work continues to be full tilt and exciting. He is in D.C. every week and believes that he may be making some significant headway in senior care (just in

time for us old dogs!). The offer of romantic board in Atlanta is still extended to all. He hopes that the rest of the class is doing well. Chris Page sends a recent photo of his family. Jim Rudolph’s daughter, Katie Rudolph ’12, graduated from Governor’s last June and now is at Connecticut College. She is taking pre-med courses. His son, Bobby Rudolph ’05, graduated Boston College Law School (another of his alma maters) last June and just joined his law firm, Rudolph Friedmann LLP. They now have 24 attorneys and have offices in Boston and Marblehead. Jay Worthen is also a partner in the firm. Jim’s other son, Billy, is an attorney and works for The Harbor Companies. He and his wife, Sari, were married last New Year’s Eve. Dave “Mitch” Mitchell does not have much new to report.

Class notes “Life in Southern GA continues to be fun and Columbus State is a great place to be. Not sure yet about the reunion next June, but hoping to be there.” Harry Kangis reports that he and his wife Julia are continuing their retirement goal of hiking in and photographing all 57 of the US scenic national parks. They have now been to 53, so only 4 more to go! The picture is from Grand Teton National Park. Harry says his secret to staying young-looking is “Good genes, golf, hiking, more golf…” Chuck Johnson has been working and traveling occasionally to Seattle to visit with his grandkids. He and his wife celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary on September 28th. Rick “Rico” Haas is

now living in Florida. His band, Aces and Eights, played a gig in Hollis, NH, in mid-September. Steve Robinson recently took his youngest, Lauren, back to the Academy to begin her junior year. He says the school has changed and grown so much yet in many ways it’s the same old GDA of our days which is a good thing, he believes. It’s been rewarding and a lot of fun to see the local 68ers so much in recent years, thanks mostly to Marc and Art. He looks forward to a well-attended 45th reunion! Josh Burns sends all best wishes to everyone! No real news to report; he is just hanging in like everyone else. Plans for the 45th? As they say, ‘God Willing’ he’ll try to attend. Ted Nahil

exclaims life in Florida is good! He and Terry have a new granddaughter in Colorado, and they have a new grandchild on the way in Florida, as well (gender still to be determined). He was able to get to Byfield for the Gala kicking off the 250th Anniversary and was glad to see Veas, Tuck, Jay and Jim, along with Hale Smith (and his wife). It was a wonderful evening. Like so many of you, he is looking forward to the 45th. He asks that everyone please keep the updates coming and he hopes to see a great many of you in Byfield in June!

While not our 50th, a milestone of the passing of time, I am planning to make it to Byfield June 7 to 9 and I am hoping that many of you will make plans to attend as well.” Alan Sandler writes that after a long spectacular summer, rainy season has started in Oregon; should end by June. His kids are still scattered: youngest son Gabriel (18) is here and looking at colleges, Jeremy (25) teaches at Santa Catalina School in Monterey, Calif. (sweet gig), and Austin (28) lives in Manhattan with his wife Zoe. His law firm is in the same building Alan worked in over 25 years ago, and last March they went together to see the Allman Brothers at the Beacon. Maybe kids today do turn into their parents. Somehow Alan doesn’t think that happened to the Class of ’73…He noticed that a new brewery opened in Newburyport (nbptbrewing.com); must be for the Reunion. Now there’s a Reunion idea. Alan suggests sharing a brew and some fond memories at the new brewery in Newburyport. Any locals want to check it out and report back on the Plum Island Belgian White? Ian Chisolm’s third grandchild, Harper, arrived on Cinco de Mayo, weighing ten

pounds. He and his wife Joanne went to Newfoundland for two weeks in July and are planning a trip to Northern Italy next may. They bought Rosetta Stone to try and leaern Italian in preparation for the trip. Kevin McKenna writes from Nebraska that he is closing up his summer house on Campobello and took the week off. It is a perfect October day. Life is good and he hopes things are fine with the rest of the class, as well. He looks forward to shattering visual memories at our 40th. He suspects we have all morphed into Buster Navins and Kitty Mercer, but with better stories. As long as what everyone has morphed into is still recognizable. Chris Baker writes that he nearly didn’t recognize Gordon Thompson, he looked great, on a new diet and I almost didn’t recognize him; of course Chris has to raise his head up just to see Gordon’s face. He also enjoyed dinner with Chip Connelly.Geoff Peters is coming up on his 40th year since converting from being a Red Sox fan to being a Chicago Cubs fan. His kids are happily out of the house (Kevin in Denver, CO and Kara in East Lansing, MI) and he and his wife Deb met with John Clayman ’71 and the President of Seaton Yachts at the Baltimore Trawlerfest about their future dream of circumnavigat-

ing the Eastern United States via the Great Loop on a boat that Deb insists must have at least two heads (bathrooms) if she is going to set foot on board. He is looking forward to the 40th Reunion next year, and has a very specific goal of “not finishing last in the Pie Race”! John Randall graduated from Colgate university in ’78, spent a year skiing in Jackson Hole, completed law school in Delaware, spent 6 years in NYC working for Chemical Bank’s trust department and Irving trust company before going into practice in Locust Valley, New York. He married Julia Ireland in ’93 and they have a 16 year old daughter. He hopes to see everyone at Reunion. Larry Coles has been traveling between Atlanta and Washington, DC on an assignment with the U.S. Department of Education for the past two years. He has lived in Atlanta for the past 17 years. Prior to that, he worked and lived in New York City, Providence, RI, and Lancaster, PA. He has spent the last 30 years in education finance services with several private companies, agencies, and universities. He worked as vice president and senior banking executive with Wells Fargo, Urban Trust Bank, and Nelnet, Inc. He also held executive positions with The College Board, Brown University, and Franklin and Marshall Col-

lege. He writes “Can’t believe it has been 40 years since we left GDA. Remember when we thought those folks coming back for their 40th and 50th reunions were so old! Well, here we are. But we are still young at heart. See you at the 40th.” Mark Hoffman started a concert lighting company right after college and toured with Tom Petty, Commander Cody, South Side Johnny and spent 5 years on the road with the J. Geils Band. He designed and built the lighting systems and toured around the country doing shows. He and Tom Hagen also had a sound business and built a state-of-theart sound system and did the big concert in 1978 at Seabrook with Jackson Browne, and Pete Seeger among others. Tom was the designer of the sound system, sound engineer and ran the concerts. The biggest job was covering the back half of the Boston Garden for J. Geils. He then completed a master’s degree in electrical engineering and worked as a systems engineer on the US National Missile Defense System. He is now a principal Systems Engineer working on programs for Homeland Security. Luis Benitez writes in from South/Central America that he has had an interesting life. He got married right after college and had two kids: a boy, Luis Alejandro, and a girl Janna Michelle. They are 33 and 29 respectively. He is a proud grandfather of Alejandro, 4, and Gabriela, 2. Went into the shoe industry and worked at it for 30 years, for three different companies. During this time he was transferred and lived as country manager and general manager in Costa Rica, Mexico, El Salvador, and Dominican Republic. Since then, he is semi-retired and has a property management and investment company. He hopes to see everyone at the 40th. Geoffrey White is well with three 54

daughters and a grandson. He is teaching banjo in Sydney and otherwise enjoying living in Australia. Doubts if he can make it to the 40th but who knows… his email is: dreamtreebanjo@ yahoo.com.au. He sends all the best. Greg Mefferd sends in a condensed version of his life, beginning with his path to the all compassionate Governor’s Zone of participatory fantasy and renewed resolve: Dartmouth history, UT Austin film, film and video production squeaking him into IMDB, segue/ jump/flashback to campus location as Claremont Graduate University’s webmaster/web developer (while raising Eve, his delightful, dual citizen daughter, with his Canadian wife Rachel in the same home in Claremont’s foothills for 14 years now). Any location work these days is virtual by design although he is resolved to take Eve on international travel soon to help ground her virtual writing career on this earth somewhere. Doug Doty sends a shout-out to the few who he hung out with at Dummer (when he wasn’t practicing on his axe, jogging, or studying—in that order): Most importantly, he lives with his Russian wife of 14 years, who he met in Moscow, Russia while living and doing business there. Out of the world of international pharmaceuticals and into a position with NIH as a government linguist, he translates science articles and documents from (and to) Russian, German, French, and Spanish, and figured out how to get documents from Latin right. He still plays and writes music in his basement. He loves to travel around the world with his best friend, too. After graduating from GDA, Parker Wise headed west to Oregon State University seeking a forestry degree— big mistake—too much math. In the seven or so years he spent there, he took a year off in South

Carolina tromping through the swamps with the snakes and every possible biting insect. He was working for a company that managed timber for land owners. Good experience—not his cup of tea—too damn hot. Previously he had spent 6 months as a shake rat (slang for a person who digs out cedar for splitting into roof material) on the Olympic peninsula of Washington. College was not working out so he headed in a new direction working in a retail nursery and eventually ended up working in the landscape industry. He spent 18 years managing crews and pruning. He got pretty good at his trade, but two knee operations and back problems made him decide to change directions again. He went back to school and got a journalism degree. Probably not the most useful degree, but it got him back into photography. Concurrent to all this, he got married (33 years now) and had three kids, 30, 29 and 21—all girls. They are all doing great. He now works in a camera store, writes and photographs for a local paper and does freelance photography. If anyone is interested, he has photos on Flickr.com; search for wisr2. He also has some on a local photo group site photoartsguild.org. Memories fade, but he still has fond recollections of his time at GDA. Glen Winkel had the pleasure of competing in the Masters National Track Championships in Colorado this summer. With high altitude home field advantage, he was able to take home 4 medals, winning two individual national championships. He holds the 2K pursuit World Record for a mere 20 minutes! He loves being the class secretary and writes “it keeps me grounded and in touch with my past and the days of GDA.” Doug Wilson is managing the backstage team for the upcoming Taylor Swift RED concert

1974 Pam Toner 206 River Run Greenwich, CT 02831 203.681.2505 ptoner@optonline.net

Pam Toner is enjoying emptynesting and living and selling Real Estate in Greenwich, CT. She reached a major milestone this year by sending both her daughters to college! Her oldest is a Junior at Trinity College making plans to study in Italy in the spring and her youngest is at the University of Richmond. At UR, she met a friend who graduated from The Governor’s Academy, Rich O’Leary’s daughter, Sarah, and a friend of Courtney Wang’s daughter from Hockaday. So much for breaking out on her own! In her free time, Pam is still active in the Junior sailing community. Steve Epstein writes that his oldest daughter married on September 22nd in Wilmington, Del. His youngest daughter is a freshman at the University of New Hampshire, and his middle daughter graduated with honors from University of Pennsylvania, has a job, and is living at home. “The good news is that the children may leave,” Steve says, “but they do come home.” Deborah Pope Garand and her husband David are happy loft dwellers in downtown Rochester, NY while enjoying their lakeside cottage for fishing and sculling near Corning, N.Y. Their kids, Morgan and Ian, are grown— doing their own thing and having a blast and if you look up Event-Chocolate.com you’ll be happy you did!! Steve James

Class notes has plans to marry to Betsy Wakeman in Boston on December 22nd at the Old South Church. He and Betsy enjoyed the 250th Gala at GDA in September. Steve sees Steve Bottomley playing golf at the Rye Beach club. Steve James is the Race Director for the Head of the Charles Regatta and rowing in a 2X boat with Tim Wood. Steve’s daughter, Taylor, invited him to run the Big Sur Marathon in April 2013.

1975 Pamela D. Pandapas 202 Central Street Rockland, MA 02370-2470 781.878.9887 pamrobfine@msn.com

Brit Babcock has been very busy this year and wonders where the time went. She was at her very tranquil family summer home in Somesville, Bar Harbor area, Acadia National Park for August and celebrated her Dad’s 90th birthday over the Labor Day weekend with 18 family members. Ted flew in from California. They roasted her father at a lobster dinner on Saturday night, which brought many laughs. She missed seeing all the regular GDA folks around the Island like Mike Ponce and Andy Woodcock, and Pam Pandapas didn’t get a chance to come up as planned. She saw Starr (Cutler) Gilmartin and husband Gilly several times. They are currently hiking the John Muir Trail in and around Yosemite and Eastern Ways. She has been working on launching a company with some powerful people in the film industry and business world that teaches a strategy for creating and growing successful businesses with ethics and responsibility, a process not being taught in any

schools currently and one that actually works. They are in financing and launch stage. If anyone wants to know more, call Brit at 949.235.7550. Derek Bergmann reports that he and his wife, Staci, at the time he wrote, had just returned from campus after moving their daughter, Elise, into her freshman dorm room! He said it was one of those perfect September days and that the campus looked stunningly beautiful. They had the opportunity to sample some of the many offerings of the newly completed dining hall and, he was happy to report, the food is “excellent” and the new facilities are very impressive. During their visit they also enjoyed meeting several of the current faculty and staff including new Headmaster Peter Quimby. Derek’s assessment: the Academy is in (collectively) very capable hands and of devoted stewards. In other news, their son, Charlie, lives in L.A. and has launched a start-up company called PROnoise.com which provides resources and an artist/ listener community for musicians worldwide. Daughter, Kendall, recently transferred from Bucknell to Boston University where she is studying international relations and languages. And Staci is an RN specializing in women’s health at a busy practice in Southborough. Derek continues to keep busy with his custom building company based in Hopkinton. He had planned on being at the 250th Gala so many of you may have caught up with him then. Dave Bohman wrote that he had just finished a busy summer with a few “killer investigative reports” for TV. He enjoyed watching his daughters play softball and field hockey which, he said, inspired thoughts of the many female role models at GDA. He is hoping to spend more time in New England in 2013 and visiting

with classmates in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Dave is a Facebook devotee and enjoys exchanging late night emails about politics and life with Ed Gage. At the time of his writing to me he was to be spending the next couple of weekends anchoring the weekend morning news. That meant he would also be producing those shows and that, in turn, meant getting to work at 11 PM the night before! Of course, while this was par for the course with Dave, he looked forward to getting weekends back. Craig Clark and his family has settled back in Portland, Maine after teaching overseas. He taught at the American Embassy School in New Delhi and at the Nagoya International School in Nagoya, Japan. He is hoping to add a third tour somewhere before his retirement as it’s a great way to break up the routine and get to travel. He is currently teaching mathematics at Thornton Academy in Saco, Maine and filling his time with vintage cars, motorcycles, and homes. The housing projects have been fairly modest in Maine, but the real renovation gem has been the 1876 vintage church on Prince Edward Island,

Canada. Craig has spent the past 23 summers converting it into their summer home. That has required his building a plumbing system, adding electrical outlets, building a kitchen and bathrooms, adding bedrooms, and his favorite, building a staircase in the tower to a deck on top. Craig credits most of the required skills to his years of working for our classmate, Jamie Goduti and Jamie’s contracting business many years ago. As Craig is trying to adjust to the notion of our 40th reunion he has one question: “Are we part of the Old Guard yet?” Very funny, Craig! Dian Entekhabi wrote a brief note just to say that his third child, Amir Ali, is attending the Governor’s this year as a sophomore. We wish her as great a tenure at our alma mater as we had! Sam Gilliland and his family had quite a summer of lacrosse tournaments, hockey camps, and camp counseling. The whole family, especially oldest daughter, Anne, eagerly anticipated her embarking on her college career at Georgetown. Congratulations, Anne! Middle daughter, Leigh, is in her senior year at Greenwich Academy and youngest daughter, Charlotte

has just joined Leigh at Greenwich Academy as a sophomore. Sam’s lovely wife, Beth, is doing nicely with her literary agency and Sam continues to enjoy his work as a private banker, playing tennis, ice hockey, and racing cars. Sam also regretted that he was not able to attend the 250th gala event. As it turned out, GA had a tournament with Hotchkiss that day! I hope Greenwich won, Sammy! Starr Gilmartin writes that there is not much time to say much except she is trying to beat back the hands of time or at least suspend them for a time while enjoying the great outdoors. This past summer, Starr completed some biking events and at the time of her writing was about to embark on that long distance hike on the John Muir Trail with her husband of 35 years, Gilly. She describes for us the trail as being in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in California and being 211-miles long. It spans from Yosemite Valley in the north to Mount Whitney in the south. Since their vacation time was limited, Starr wasn’t sure if they would be able to finish the entire hike but planned on hiking a

minimum of 135 miles. We’ll have to wait until the next Archon to find out how they fared! But they did complete the 100 mile wilderness trail of the Appalachian Trail and hope to do more of the long distance hiking while they’re still able. Starr and Gilly extend to you an invitation to visit if anyone is up near Trenton, Maine. Gretchen Huffsmith says that as if being an innkeeper and trying to grow her business in a down economy isn’t enough, she decided to go back to school (again) to earn her broker’s license with the notion of selling Bed & Breakfast properties. After she passed that test she joined a new group of experienced brokers; The Blue Ridge B&B Team. They show hospitality properties located in the regions along the Blue Ridge Parkway, from Virginia to the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. Gretchen reports that the business is really taking off. Their goal is to expand their offerings by providing services that include, but not limited to, teaching an innkeepers seminar to consulting with prospective buyers who may be looking toward a “retirement plan.” Of

course, Gretchen added that at the rate she’s going she may never herself retire! There is also a new member of the Honey Hill family. “Dolly Huffsmith” is a 7-pound Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix with a 50-pound personality! The guests just love her. So they had been gearing up for their busy leafy season and Gretchen still wants to know when they can expect visitors… (Brit?) Woody Johnston spent a low key spring and summer. As he says, “just the usual.” He was on the road with back to back-to-back tours. He “started the year off with Lil Wayne (the premier hip hop out right now), then the next tour with Drake, after that rolled right into Jill Scott. For the summer it was The Superfest Tour.” As of this writing he was about to wrap up the summer touring season with Mary J. Blige & D’Angelo. Woody said that despite the economic woes of the country and the heated political season, people in America want some kind of entertainment relief so they will find their way to a concert to see and hear their favorite musical performer. The way Woody sees it, when the cost of going on vacation is juxtaposed to the price of concert tickets for two (at around $87.50 per ticket), a concert is way more affordable than, say, a week in Martha’s Vineyard! He is not complaining! Until he starts his next tour he has planned his annual NFL Pro Bowl show in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nice, Woody! Rob Kaplan writes with summer over, life returns to a school-based rhythm. They had a great summer with lots of fun, mostly around Newburyport and New England. Their oldest is a high school junior, so the college onramp looms ahead. A recent career transition is working out great, and thankfully all are well at their home. Rob also asks about a book poll to our class.

He asks what the last great book you read is and if you recommend it. He’s pushing Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s “The Shadow of the Wind.” He says it’s really great writing and imagery. Rob also expressed hope at the time of his writing that he would see a good representation of the Class of 1975 at the 250th Gala. And he is collecting web site addresses of classmates who are on the web with their business or career and then posting them on the class Facebook page. He said if you all want to send yours in to him, he will add you to the list. Paula (Sekora) McNutt writes that their daughter, Lainie, is in her senior year at the University of North Florida, Majoring in Anthropology and minoring in History. She’s getting ready to take the GRE with plans to pursue a masters in Archeology and then her doctorate. Paula says she fancies herself as a female “Indiana Jones”! Their 15 year old son, Judd, is a sophomore in high school. He attends Satellite Fine Arts Academy in Satellite Beach. He plays percussion in Wind Ensemble and is on Drum Line in Marching Band. He is also a starting offensive lineman (center) for the JV football on Thursday nights and first substitute for varsity offensive line on Friday nights. He ends up dressing out on Friday nights for the game then marching with the band at halftime in his football uniform! There is one other boy who has the same schedule, which the school wholeheartedly allows so as to not limit their enthusiasm. Evidently it is quite a sight to see! Paula and Bill visited Bill’s daughter, Natasha, in Puerto Rico last May. She is a Staff Perfusionist at Caribbean Life Support, Centro Cardiovascular De Puerto Rico Y Del Caribe, Rio Piedras, San Juan, Puerto Rico. In a nutshell, she maintains the circulation of a patient undergoing heart surgery, thus

Class notes

keeping said patient alive in the process. While there, they revisited old San Juan before they left for the coast and the small surfing town of Rincon. They stayed at the oceanfront Villa Cofresi. The villa was hosting its annual Paddle Boarding contest at the time. Over 200 participants attended and it was “awesome” to see. They also rode horses in the small coastal town of Isabela on a deserted beach and explored caves along the cliffs there. They went on to spend the rest of the summer taking Judd to football camps. He attended a lineman camp at Stetson University and a team camp at Jacksonville University. He also attended band & drum line camps. Whew! Bill and Paula did manage a trip to Lanier in northeastern Georgia. They love the lake there and try to make that trip at least twice a year. At the time of Paula’s note to me they were planning a trip to Jamaica to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Congratulations on that! And they are trying to find the time to take a family trip to Colorado for the spring break in March. Bill continues as a Senior Software Engineer at Harris Corporation (Government Communications Division) and Paula pretty much drives Judd from one activity to the next…no small task. At least he’ll get his learner’s permit in May. Paula is also planning to get her real estate license updated and become more active once Judd is driving on his own. Until then, it’s golf, yard work, and the aforementioned driving Judd around. She also volunteers at the school in its administrative departments, at The Touchdown Club (the school’s football club), and at the Satellite Instrumental Music Program Parents Association. Great to hear from you, Paula! Pam Pandapas has done a little traveling this past six months or so. Among her destinations was a week at the

Hard Rock Resort and Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was a lot of fun in the sun and gambling at the blackjack tables. She didn’t win much money but she had a lot of fun trying! She continues to work on her house and enjoyed the summer nurturing her gardens. She took advantage of the great summer weather with various outdoor activities and she is looking forward to what she hopes is a great ski season. Mike Ponce reports that this fall some “Obama supporters” (whatever that’s supposed to mean!) stole all of their bikes off their porch during the night. Happily, I found out, the perpetrators were nabbed and the bikes were returned! Score one for the good guys! Other than that blip, the summer was good for the Ponce family. Mike was in Maine for a week with the family. Oldest daughter, Annie, had a great summer teaching rowing at the Northeast Harbor Fleet and then went on a four day climb in the White Mountains with her buddies. She is now a ninth grader at Springside Chestnut Hill. Mike says, “Oh, joy! A 15 year old!” Younger daughter, Lindsay, is grooving along with girls on the run and cooking up a storm from bread making to lamb chops. She’s put the Ponce kitch-

en through its paces so watch out Iron Chefs. She’s headed for the cooking channel! Mike says that unlike himself, the girls are doing very well in school and making their Dad proud. The family garden had been fantastic this summer with tons of bounty. Mike really does have quite the green thumb. He posted the photo of his fig tree starters on Facebook…very impressive! He and his lovely wife, Jennifer, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a good laugh. Lindsay made a card for them and Annie asked, “How am I supposed to know when you got married?” I assume the question arose because she wasn’t even a glimmer in her Daddy’s eye yet! Anyway, there was no big trip as they had to get the girls off to school. But congratulations to you, as well! Mike says that business is brisk and he has been underwriting debt for a municipal bond for Boxford, Mass., yielding about 2%. He says to jump for joy…you all are borrowing money at the lowest rate he has seen in his 25 years in the business! There are no firm travel plans but they hope to make it down to the Virgin Islands this winter and then up to Northeast Harbor next July. He hopes that all of you are doing well and yes, Sam, you all just may connect in

NYC this fall! Cheers! Spencer Purinton is fully immersed in the Academy’s affairs. His daughter, Eliza, is on her final stretch as a senior currently playing on a field hockey team with championship potential. Their “next in line” daughter, Lucy, is a Govs Junior who is loving the dance program. The third daughter, Louisa, although only a fifth grader, is a familiar presence on the campus.” Spence was excited to report that his wife, Lisa, and he had joined Rob and Catherine Kaplan, Peter and Beth Richardson, Derek and Staci Bergmann along with Lisa Johnson and David Williams (filling in for sister and classmate Terry Williams) at the 250th Gala. He was hoping to see more of the Class of ’75 there and said that he continues to reach out to the class in his capacity as chief class fund raiser. Spence and family are still living in downtown Newburyport and he said he is always open to Govs visitors passing through. Peter Richardson writes that his older son, Bennett, got engaged this year and will be married in Kennebunkport next summer. Bennett recently co-founded a social media firm called Hinge which uses friend-to-friend connections to match up singles. Using

algorithms similar to Pandora, Hinge discovers what people are truly like and finds matches through their friends and friends of friends. It’s aimed at the 25–40 crowd who view the popular dating sites as populated with “old people”! Peter’s younger son, Seth, is a junior at Berklee College of Music where he is majoring in Music Production and Engineering. Seth promised Beth and him that when he wins his first Grammy, or gets a contract with Beyonce, he will buy them an island in the Mediterranean. So, he says, their retirement plans are all set! Beth has been granted tenure at St. Joseph’s College where she is a professor in the business department. And Peter recently became a certified Master Beekeeper and is teaching and mentoring new beekeepers. Cool! They also see Wheeler Gemmer regularly as he shuttles from coast to coast. Mike Sapuppo made a trip back east this past summer with his daughter, Sophia. They took in a Red Sox game when the Red Sox actually had a decent team to watch. Sophia was treated to a David Ortiz rocketing Grand Slam along the first base line where they were sitting. While here they ate a lot of lobster and steamers and spent time at Plaice Cove in New Hampshire. They had hoped to see the Popes but they were MIA. Mike has taken up bike riding and completed 4 “metric centuries.” He’s an official member of the Echelon Riders Club in Marin and has the jersey to prove it. He also plans to ride the PanMass challenge next August with a college buddy. He climbed Mt. Shasta in northern California. For those of us in the east, that’s 14,162 feet and the third highest peak in the lower 48. Whitney and Rainier are next! Mike is still semi-retired and spends most of his time ensuring that his former business partner doesn’t steal from him! 58

And as an aside, Mike recently got a tattoo, although he neglected to say where…hmmmm. Jack Swenson has had a very busy year with lots of traveling for work. His wife, Rikki, and he are still working regularly leading photo expeditions and safaris to wild places around the world with Lindblad Expeditions (www.Expeditions.com). They had just returned home from their third trip to Africa this year when he wrote to me. In addition to leading photo safaris to both Eastern Africa and Southern Africa this year in March/April they worked aboard the expedition ship “National Geographic Explorer” on an epic voyage from Cape Town to Morocco along the entire west coast of Africa. They visited 16–17 different countries (some like Western Sahara are still morphing, he says). It was quite amazing and culturally intriguing, especially visiting such unusual destinations as Angola, Cameroon, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Jack says there wasn’t much wildlife, but they enjoyed great concerts by many of the region’s leading musicians along the way. They had more recently been staring down lions and elephants in the bush in Botswana and South Africa, something he never gets tired of doing. At the time of this writing, they had some time at home before their next trips to Galapagos and Costa Rica/Panama later in the year. Jack invites you all to check out some photos of their adventures via their blog: http://expedition gallery.wordpress.com. Jack says he is still waiting to run into some GDA classmates on a Lindblad trip. He says somebody out there must have gotten a job that made them rich! He says this isn’t making him rich but he’s sure having fun. Jack, there are more ways to be rich than just a swollen bank account…seems to me, in my humble opinion, you are a very wealthy man!

Carrie Nissi writes: “Our 35th reunion in June was one of those ‘You had to be there’ occasions to describe. All the clichés don’t do it justice; we all just had the

best time. It’s somehow liberating to revisit your high school days once you hit your fifties. You are old enough to appreciate the solid education and lasting friendships you made during those years and (hopefully) young enough to recognize everyone! In a small school like ours, we hope as many classmates as possible attend since, as much as we might hate to admit this, it’s an unspoken competition to have a good showing. If noise and laughter were factors in judging whom was having the most fun at their class dinner Saturday night, we would have taken first place. Much of the credit goes to our class photographer Mark “Voodie” Vorreuter. As well as taking random shots all weekend, he recovered his old yearbook and hacked it up into hundreds of pictures he scattered around the dinner tables (probably the best thing anyone has ever done with his/her yearbook). Others brought various blackmail pictures from the senior party, and we reminisced about our many creative pranks. The stories were embellished just a bit as the wine flowed and the chatter came to a crescendo. We all covered each

other’s back and attested to the lies like old friends are supposed to. Really, how much does the truth matter at this point? There was music and some dancing, but mostly good hearty laughs. The older we get, the more those moments count. We missed the people who couldn’t make it. Your stories were especially exaggerated…all the more reason to make your calendars for the next reunion. I doubt those of us who were at our 35th will risk missing our 40th in 2017. Thanks to everyone who helped plan the reunion—including making phone calls and encouraging classmates to attend. All kidding aside, you were there in spirit and all part of a very special weekend. (Thank you, Vicki, for reporting on our reunion.)” Jack Lu, Eric Laub, and Carrie Nissi were the class of ’77 representatives at Gov’s 250th birthday party. Carrie reports that Jack has a great idea—actually two great ideas. The first is for everyone to join the class Facebook page (Governor Dummer Class of ’77). The second is to encourage as many of the class as possible to attend Saturday lunch at Reunion next spring (Saturday, June 8). Eric

reports that, “Life is good.” He is currently building a “lower level suite” in his home complete with a steam/shower/sauna so friends can relax when they visit. His escapades in the past (other than knowing how to get into almost ALL the buildings on campus when a senior) include backpacking in New Zealand. He hopes to return to the country in the future. Beth Kannan was sorry to miss the reunion—especially after seeing photos of the good times. She promises not to miss the next one. Beth lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland with her husband and two children— Jack, 17, and Lizzie, 12. She would love to see anyone visiting the D.C. area. Joey Pietrafesa, was “bummed” that he couldn’t make it to the reunion because the closing of his new house was rescheduled for the same day. He, his wife Martha, and their daughter, Lola, (now 18 months) have moved to Palm Beach, Florida. Lola is keeping them both young at heart. Sam (Elisa) Adams has been stone carving for the last eight years. She took a class at a local museum school and hasn’t stopped carving since. She has been in over 30 juried art shows and won “Best in Show”

The Class of 1977 at reunion in June 2012—all behaving, briefly!

in 2010 at the Concord Art Association. More recently, she had ten pieces in a show called “Six Degrees of Abstraction” in Harvard Square. Sam will also be featured in the Best of American Sculpture Book 2013. Her work can be viewed on her website,www.ElisaAdamsSculpture.com. Her daughter, Ariana, is 23 and has graduated from Hampshire College. She is working for a public health group in Northampton and is considering going on to chiropractic school. Sam is happily living in Concord with her husband and dog Taz. Her step-son Kailin is in his third year at University of Minnesota for a PhD in economics. Her step-daughter Kyrie is in Palo Alto in her own techy company, and her twin grandsons are now nine. They visit from California and go to “camp” with “Granma” and “Big Pop.” Sam can be reached at the following address: “Dr. Elisa Adams, DC, 16 Clarke Street, Lexington, MA 02421 781.674.2500.” She also has a rental home on St. John in the Virgin Islands which is listed at www.vrbo.com/178288. Shelley Marean reports she can’t figure out how to change her name on Facebook, so she can be found under the name Michelle James. She does enjoy who Facebook suggests as friend and loves all the fish pictures! She writes, “If you want to know what “stuff ” is important in your life, pack a family of four into eight duffle bags and move to Taichung Taiwan for 18 months.” She and her family live on an island there. Hugh Jones moved to Colorado. Mark Vorreutor serves as the class photographer and is still doing “Picture of the Day” on Facebook. He has been doing this since January 1, 2009. Ted Cremer posts Sunrise or Sunset of the day on Facebook. He just began this year with primarily ocean shots since he lives near

the shore. Vicki Papaioanou Murphy and her husband,

John, recently ditched 1/3 of what they own and moved into a condo. She is taking tap dancing, and is trying to convince Phip to join her. She spends her free time around the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and reports “that all that, combined with work and motherhood, make life pretty good.” One of her daughters lives in Waltham and works in healthcare, one is in South Boston in insurance with a side gig at Legal Seafood, and the third is a sophomore at University of Massachusetts. She truly enjoyed reunion and seeing old friends— not to mention the planning meeting in Newburyport (which included Chip Weichert,

Dave Phippen, Betsy Saunders Oski, and Carrie Lyons Nissi. She writes, “You don’t realize how much you’ve missed people and that special time in your life until you see each other again. It was a blast.” Ted Babcock begged Carrie NOT to include any photos of him that Voodie took that make him look schnockered when he was stone cold sober. Carrie can attest to the stone cold soberness, but cannot promise that Voodie won’t be sending in the photos! He had a great weekend this summer up in Maine with Tich, Hambone, and Ping, and of course, their lovely wives Leigh, Debbie, and Tammy. They had “some lobsta’, good pie, a picnic on the boat, and way too much drinking. It was just like old times.” Ted is the co-producer of the popular tv show called Revenge. Carrie Nissi is now home full time and loving it. She helps her husband, Joseph with his business and no longer has to worry about juggling teaching with Andrew’s or Sarah’s schedules. Sarah, back from her year in Italy, is a senior at Govs and will be a member of the 250th graduating class. Andrew, who turned The ArchonSpring/Summer | Fall/Winter 2012 2012

She urges her class to “plan on joining us for lunch on campus on June 8. It would be great fun to hang out on campus under the tent (or in the sunshine) and relive our youth. Thank you to those who wrote in for these notes. We all really appreciate it.”

The Class of 1977 Reunion in June 2012

traveled to Northern Michigan in July to visit family. The rest of the summer entailed day trips to Salisbury Beach and Newburyport, Walden Pond, Boston Common, and every playground in between. Bobby’s wife, Stacey, opened up an art studio for kids in W. Acton (www.colorful-

lexplorations.com), and Bobby worked two lacrosse camps. Their children, Cooper (2.5 yr), and Natalie (5) are growing like weeds, while black Lab Finny (11) slows down a tad. John Nye had a very busy summer. He traveled to SD, SC and Texas to participate in PBS’s Antiques Road Show. The episodes will begin airing in January 2013. In March he moved to an amazing new facility beautifully tailored to the auction business. Which is located off of exit 149 on the Garden State Parkway. He ended the summer with salmon fishing in Alaska and a week in Italy for his anniversary. Marshall Rowe writes: “This is a unique year for our family. As I think many of you know, I have worked at Covenant College for a long time (22 years) as the alumni director. One of the benefits is free tuition for family members. This year all three of our daughters are enrolled. My wife left her teaching job last year to go back to nursing school and she is taking an Anatomy course here as well this fall. This comes much to the horror of our girls, one of whom said ‘Dad, you just don’t get it, you don’t go to college with your Mom!’” Sloan Tyler and his fam-

Recent polling indicates the class of 1995 is too busy to write in to The Archon. More than likely, they’re preoccupied with work and family, or maybe just catching some gnarly tubes on the Internet—linking-in, texting, tweeting, blogging, tumblrblogging, or facemailing. Which is kind of odd, since some of those things are so similar to writing in to The Archon! There were sightings of some folks at Cardinal and White Day, whose school spirit and ability to show up earn them an exemption from embarrassment here (but if they feel disappointed and want their deserved honorable mentions, an email to me will effectively reserve choice space in the next issue—you know who you are). According to Facebook, Mike Angelis is painting like a fiend and owning the CT art scene. Don Gay is a travelin’ fool but loves coming home to Detroit. Tim Gould laments the state of pretty much all professional Boston sports

Class notes (though he hasn’t chimed in on hockey, yet, and who knows if we even have a soccer team). Blair Niles Taylor is living in Denver, Colorado with her husband, Mike, and their 14-month old daughter, Charlotte Catherine Niles Hardy. Blair received MBA from Denver University. She also has an MFA in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art and Design and is a designer for organic foods, wineries, book covers, calendars, and packaging of all sorts.

Hans Carbonneau and Michael went to Steph Triendl’s wedding this past July in Montreal. Paul Morrissey recently relocated to Washington, D.C. where he is the Head of School at BASIS DC, a new public charter school in Penn Quarter. The school opened about a month ago with 450 students in grades 5 through 8, and they are off to an incredible start. The plan is to expand by one grade each year until they are a grade 5 through 12 school in 2016. “Opening a new school has been exhausting,” Paul said, “but worthwhile, as you can imagine. I have a tremendous staff here who remind me every day how lucky we were to have educators at GDA who truly cared about us and our learning, even when we did not

care so much ourselves (pointing my finger at myself). Check out our website when you get a chance: www.basisdc.org. Please stop by for a visit if you’re ever in the area!” Sarah Willeman married Philip Richter on June 16th, at his family’s farm in Bedford, New York.

Annual Report 2011–2012

any years ago, I was invited to join the board of my children’s independent elementary school that had no particular history of fundraising. Parents simply paid the private school tuition that provided a better educational experience for their children: smaller classes, afternoon sports, good academics, and opportunities for performing arts. Everyone seemed content until a study was done to see how the school’s faculty salaries and financial aid stacked up against a broader peer group of schools. We were at the bottom, and the time had come to do something about it. As a new member of the board, I asked what was expected of each trustee as a contribution to the annual fund. No one was quite sure how to answer that question, and clearly if the trustees were not in the know, how could anyone expect very supportive parents to understand the larger needs for the school. With a comprehensive effort to raise the awareness level of all constituents, a proper annual fund campaign took hold and everyone stepped up to support it because there were immediate, tangible results in the quality of the school’s educational product. It did not take too many years before an impressive annual fund supplemented tuition revenue to address the real cost of educating a student, and today that school’s competitive ranking is closer to the top of its peer group than it has ever been. As an important barometer in this analysis, the trustees

led the charge to set an example for everyone. This is not a unique story. All good schools strive to reach goals of excellence that boil down to a single, obvious factor: money. The Governor’s Academy has enjoyed enormous success in its annual campaigns in recent years, but we have hit new high ground this last year. The trustees are totally committed with substantially increased gifts, and we are so grateful to everyone who has participated in this critically important endeavor at our school. When informed of the need and asked to help, our parents and grandparents, alumni/ae, faculty, and friends continue to regard The Governor’s Academy as a priority in their charitable giving, and for that we are endlessly appreciative. The results are clear and tangible: we would not be anything close to the school we are all so proud of today without this essential support. Thank you,

This year, for the first time, The Governor’s Academy is honoring those loyal alumni who offer consistent and unfailing Annual Fund support to the school year after year, by adding a beside their names in the list of donors by class. These alumni have made Annual Fund gifts to the Academy for five or more consecutive years, including 2011–12. It is a wonderful testimony to the health of our school that so many alumni give back year after year. Every gift matters! It is not always the size of the gift, but the fact that you take the opportunity to give back to Governor’s. To learn more about giving, please call the Advancement Office at 978.499.3185.

Planned Giving Outright Gifts

Charitable Lead Trust

Donors may transfer cash and other assets directly to the Academy for capital projects, endowed funds, or to the Annual Fund. Such gifts can be made by check or in the form of securities, real estate, or gifts-in-kind (antiques, art, jewelry, coin collection). Gifts may qualify as a charitable deduction, as allowed by law. Pledges are encouraged for up to three years but may extend over a period of five years. Gift payments may be made in convenient installments.

This type of trust provides for a gift of payments from the trust property to The Governor’s Academy for a term of years, after which the property reverts to you or passes to a non-charitable beneficiary designated by you. The charitable lead trust, depending upon the manner in which it is structured, can significantly reduce or even eliminate either the gift or estate tax.

Life Income Gifts In making a significant gift to The Governor’s Academy, you may commit to the gift now but delay the Academy’s possession and use of the gift until your death or that of the final beneficiary. Charitable Remainder Unitrusts and Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts offer the satisfaction of making a gift to The Governor’s Academy while retaining income from the principal for your personal use. These irrevocable trusts qualify for special tax consideration.

Residence or Farm Donors may give a personal residence or farm to The Govenor’s Academy while retaining the right to occupy the residence or operate the farm. This type of gift provides an income-tax charitable deduction that frees up tax dollars into spendable income without causing any disruption to your lifestyle. It also permits you to escape any potential capital-gain tax on the built-in appreciation. A single-family dwelling, condominium, or vacation home qualifies as a personal residence if used each year by you.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Bequests

As a donor, you may be able to increase your support for The Governor’s Academy by requesting a match from your spouse’s or your employer’s matching gift program.

Gifts by bequest will build the school’s endowment and provide a stream of operating income to The Governor’s Academy in future years. Charitable bequests may specify a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. In each case, the amount of the gift is excluded from the valuation of your estate for estate tax purposes.

Life Insurance Naming The Governor’s Academy as the primary beneficiary of a life insurance policy is another giving option. This enables the donor to retain ownership of the policy and have access to the policy’s cash value. This type of gift can reduce your estate tax liability. Should you wish a more immediate tax benefit, you may name The Governor’s Academy as the owner of the policy. This becomes an irrevocable assignment of all rights in the insurance policy to the Academy. You are allowed an immediate federal income tax charitable deduction.

Hearing, “Oh, now I get it!” from students; my children

peer profile When Kathy Guy speaks, we all listen. She listens attentively with compassion and without judgment, but when she speaks she is direct, discerning and, oh, so wise. In fact, another colleague recently described her as “the wisest woman I know.” A conversation with Kathy can range from deeply spiritual to wickedly funny. She is the consummate “punster,” and it is impossible to get through a meeting or a meal without falling victim to her gift! In many ways, Kathy Guy is the conscience of the Academy. As the International Student Advisor, she works passionately to help our international students acclimate; more importantly, she helps them feel at home. As the head of the Diversity Committee, she inspires all of us to be more open-minded and open-hearted. She creates a warm, non-threatening classroom where students thrive. We are a better community because Kathy is with us.
