I
’m in love. No, no, it’s not what you think. While putting this Semester together I fell hard for our new athletic center. It’s hard to believe that there was nothing there on that hot August day 16 months ago when the trustees and building committee turned over symbolic shovels full of earth at the official groundbreaking. In early November I walked through the field house skeleton, its giant steel ribs open to the cold blue sky, and watched the contractor’s crane lift the final roof beam into place, “topping” the building. A few weeks later I followed David Stonebraker around as he interviewed project manager Ken Hough for “The Contractor,” which appeared in the Fall 2007 Semester. The edges of the facility had taken real shape in the intervening time, and we could imagine the locker rooms, the fitness center and the elevated track. By June, our dreams were literally becoming concrete and in October we celebrated together at Homecoming. But all this time the athletic center was just an academic exercise in steel and concrete, copper and glass. Gorgeous, but empty. Two days after the building opened I scheduled a quick photo shoot to round out the material I needed for this issue. Although by this time I was familiar with the floor plan I was unprepared for the sight of students and faculty filling every nook and using every cranny. The place virtually hummed with life: runners, climbers, simultaneous basketball practices, instruction in the squash courts, a crowd in the fitness center. It turns out that this big, beautiful building has an even bigger, more beautiful soul. And I’m in love.

A tale of two seasons W
ith apologies to Mr. Dickens, It is the best of times, it is the worst of times... One vivid image of students celebrating victory together illustrates the poignancy of this new school year at Hebron. The tale of two seasons suggests the challenges to and champions of our school and independent boarding schools everywhere. The picture (below) is the exuberant scrum of football players in full pads and the varsity boys’ soccer players celebrating their victories in the last game of the season. The young football team (with only three seniors) struggled through a long season, outmanned and outscored, winless but never letting down. Their hard-fought final victory over Kents Hill inspired pride, tears and proof of all that Hebron and school sports are meant to be—learning to do the best that we each can do. The surprising boys’ soccer team was a mix of new and younger students who blended their talents into a team that won the maisad championship that day. These were two triumphs, from different circumstances, but one celebration for the students and our school. We have much to be proud of and excited about at Hebron these days, even as we have much concern and anxiety for our families and the economic challenges we all face. The caliber and focus of our classroom teaching and learning is at a high level; we have a state-ranked mathematics team bolstered by talented students
accountability, and campus and dormitory chores show and teach how much we need to care, conserve, and do more with less in this economic decline. Lessons about environmental sustainability, recycling, turning thermostats down and trimming expenses are important educationally, and critical to preserve the core value of our Hebron education.

e are celebrating the new athletic center which opened in December—Hebron’s first new building (heated) in more than 30 years. It instantly became the center of community life, with endless opportunities for health, exercise, and play, and symbolic of the progress and potential for Hebron’s future. The personal delight that I feel when students ask me to teach them to play squash is echoed in the sights and sounds of so much activity as teachers circle the track and watch students playing basketball, weight lifting, dancing or climbing the rock wall. Perhaps the best measure of the community’s appreciation of its gift is the response of all to help clean and protect the building through proper respectful use. At night, as I walk across campus and catch sight of the motion the athletic center windows I marvel at this gift that has been built for us, on time and under budget. The entire Hebron family is grateful for the planning, foresight and courage of the trustees in deciding to undertake this vital
off until the economy stabilizes. As we watch the reactions of prospective families to Hebron’s personality, programs and its newest facility, we are grateful for the many generous alumni and families who have set the financial foundation, so, too, are we faced with the challenge of raising the additional funds for endowment and debt service to sustain Hebron’s progress. Hebron Academy is predominantly tuition-driven and enrollment-dependent, with a modest endowment relative to our grander peer schools. As a school we face the point of this “best of times, worst of times” dichotomy: Never have families seen more compelling evidence of the spirit, learning and lifechanging experiences that are the value of a Hebron education; yet those same families are facing hard decisions about financing that investment in their child’s future. We know that there is no investment with a higher return. We are committed to extending financial aid as far as we can to respond to the needs and concerns of families, but those resources have limits. We are committed to containing costs and expenses to preserve the important programs that are the heart and soul of the Hebron experience. We will work as hard as we can, doing
more with less, in the Hebron way. That is why we have put all future capital projects on hold and are creating art studio, music, and auditorium spaces in Sargent Gymnasium—which will become the Lepage Arts Center—with our own maintenance department craftsmen doing the work.
N
ow, more than ever, Hebron needs to count on the appreciation, loyalty, and support of its alumni and parent family. We are grateful for the generosity of new families who are moved by their son’s and daughter’s growth and experiences, and we are grateful for the continuity of our faithful supporters who put Hebron first as they consider what they can do to help. We are touched by the inspiration of graduates whose endowment gifts provide the opportunity for future students to have a transformational school experience. We appreciate, too, the intentions of those who want to weather the financial storm before they do what they can. Hebron counts on you, just as we count on our students’ energy, our faculty’s dedication and creativity, and the resilience of the Hebron spirit, in the worst of times and in the best of times.

Truing the Course
A
deepwater sailor making a lengthy passage must regularly check the vessel’s actual progress over the water against the projected course plotted earlier on the chart. Over time any vessel subject to wind, current and the magnetic deflection of the compass deviates from its course, and the prudent skipper makes corrections in heading to sustain progress toward the final landfall. Such corrections to a ship’s heading, regularly made during a passage, are sometimes called “truing the course” and ensure that the vessel makes the most efficient passage between distant points. For Hebron’s Head of School John King, himself an accomplished sailor, the process of guiding a vessel’s passage and of guiding Hebron Academy have much in common. Both require review and calculated adjustment to insure optimal outcomes. In June 2008, members of Hebron Academy’s Board of Trustees and faculty met at Sebasco Harbor on the coast of Maine to review the Academy’s progress toward the priorities established by the 2002 Strategic Plan, Foundations for the Future, and to discuss closely the challenges and prospects for Hebron in the coming years. The intensive discussions of the weekend yielded adjustments to the five strategic priorities set in 2002 and the establishment of an additional focus area. Further, in open discussion facilitated by consultant Lawrence Langford, board and faculty explored a future vision for the school, assessed the current situation and aligned on priorities. The group recognized the tremendous progress made toward the goals of the 2002 Strategic Plan, developed a common understanding of current challenges and affirmed the critical importance of the school’s core values. In particular, the group resolved to focus on the Academy’s core values as appropriate goals in the near term. Building a stronger community by communicating

deviating from the essential elements that make it great. By such rigorous attention to the core, an institution builds and sustains the momentum of its program, reinforcing and developing its excellence. Continual emphasis on what makes Hebron “a good school” ultimately defines what can make it “a great school.” The progress of the past six years is the current point from which the school projects its future course. By “truing the course,” the Academy adjusts emphasis on strategic priorities, refocuses attention and energy to key areas of program and core values, rededicates itself to growth and ultimately aspires even more to create a culture of excellence in all aspects of its program. In the coming years, by working to meet the expectations of this strategic plan through specific and attainable intermediate goals, the Academy will continue to fulfill more completely its mission “to inspire and guide students to reach their highest potential in mind, body and spirit.” The Board of Trustees ratified this Strategic Plan in October 2008.
Vision 2008–2014 By 2014, Hebron Academy will become a school that even more strongly: ➢ Places the student always at its heart; ➢ Imbues within its students a sense of public service—a natural willingness and ability to look beyond the self; ➢ Creates a climate in which it is acceptable—and expected—for all to do great work; ➢ Celebrates the individual, the community and its leaders and instills a global mindset in its students and faculty; ➢ Enjoys the freedom to make decisions—and has the financial strength to flexibly allocate its resources as it chooses; ➢ Demonstrates a focus on the environment—instilling a sense of stewardship in its students; ➢ Demonstrates self-reliance at the institutional level in terms of energy selfsufficiency, and creates a culture in which people speak their own mind freely and with confidence; ➢ Demonstrates passion for learning and for achieving excellence in all it does; ➢ Honors its traditions while embracing change— building skills that enable students to deal with an unpredictable and rapidly changing future.
the academy Strategic Priorities To refine a vision for Hebron Academy during the next six years, members of the strategic planning group reviewed, refined and adjusted the five strategic priorities of 2002 with goals set in two-year increments and added an additional area of strategic importance addressing the culture of the community. Specific intermediate steps and program goals will be subject to committee work by the Board of Trustees and by members of the Hebron community; however, the guiding principles of the strategic plan, modeled on the 2002 Foundations for the Future, set the Academy’s course to the future and provide way points of progress as the school continues to work day by day and year by year to provide the very best possible experience for its students in a close and supportive community. The following outline below follows the format of Foundations for the Future and represents redirection of the energies and resources of the Academy to sustain Hebron on its course in the coming six years.
Strategic Priority: Community Ensure that the culture of Hebron Academy requires accountability and responsible participation both in the community and beyond, and that Hebron’s programming, policies and practices are integrated for both students and faculty in ways that reinforce the school’s core values. Rationale A vibrant Hebron Academy requires a unifying culture that brings together a diverse community of students and adults and transmits core values to guide administration, faculty and student behavior in all aspects of the Academy’s program: in the classroom, on the athletic fields, in the dormitory, in the dining hall, and off campus.
Strategic Priority: Enrollment Achieve with more selectivity enrollment targets for filling boarding spaces and maintaining strong upper and middle day populations, with a goal of creating a robust, qualified and diverse student body. Complete the admissions process earlier in the spring. Rationale Hebron’s tuition-driven economic model depends on a strong boarding enrollment to support the programs
and infrastructure of the Academy’s operation. Boarders bring diversity, geographic representation and international exchange to the Hebron education experience for all students. Talented day students, many of the brightest and most skilled from the regional area, enrich the school and strengthen academic programs. The Middle School—recognized as the best educational option for grades six, seven, and eight in the region—is a valuable program for area families who recognize the value of an investment in a child’s education before secondary school and provides an effective feeder program for the Upper School.
Strategic Priority: Faculty Well-Being Implement continual improvement to compensation and benefits to place Hebron faculty and staff among the top half of its cohort schools, while improving housing and teaching resources to attract, retain, and reward faculty and staff. Rationale The residential school responsibilities at Hebron demand extraordinary commitment from all Academy employees. Faculty members and administrators make a conscious lifestyle choice to work with young people at a boarding school, and they deserve a level of compensation and financial security that rewards their service appropriately. Employees who
feel appreciated and who have opportunities for professional growth and education maintain their passion and dedication for long tenures, strengthening the Academy. Hebron must address rising medical insurance costs and retirement fund improvements for long-term faculty members and families.
Strategic Priority: Financial Equilibrium Maintain financial equilibrium with a balanced operating budget and funding for financial aid and faculty well-being initiatives, capital projects, and for major replacements and renewals, all in an environment that now contains substantial annual debt expense. Aggressively continue to build endowment. Create a reserve/stabilization fund. Rationale Financial equilibrium provides the platform for meeting present needs, responding to marketplace challenges (including affordability), and planning for program improvements. Endowment growth and fund raising are now essential to match the bonded debt service and continuing needs of the Academy.
facilities and major construction projects at a pace consistent with capital giving projections. Rationale A comprehensive Master Plan continues to set priorities for facilities to best serve the Academy’s key programs. Needs for classroom, science labs, arts, athletics, community, and residential space are defined, quantified, and prioritized with capital cost estimates and evaluation of existing facility renovation potential and new construction opportunities. Such a thorough needs assessment and plan serves as a valuable tool for fund raising and motivating interest among donors and prospective student families.
Strategic Priority: Reputation Expand and enhance Hebron’s image, reputation and recognition. Rationale To meet its recruitment and fundraising goals, Hebron cannot, in a world of challenging economic times and shrinking national independent school demographics, continue to rely on word of mouth and its traditional base to meet its financial and student recruitment goals. To prosper and grow, Hebron must clearly define its strengths and value and communicate this identity in a strong and compelling image to alumni, parents, students and the media, as well as to educators at the primary, secondary and college levels.

Everything old is new again
Precious metal As faculty and staff gathered for the first all-employee meeting of the new school year, jack-of-all-trades Jim Bryant turned up to re-install Hebron’s weathervane. The old vane came down in June, missing two of its direction arms and in desperate need of an overhaul. The new weathervane is a faithful replica of the old one (although the compass points are not), which was simply falling apart. Mr. Bryant crafted the new weathervane out of marine aluminum with copper fittings. It rides on a stainless steel ball bearing inside a brass sleeve that slides over the spire atop the School Building. The compass points and vane are covered in gold leaf, which now shines brightly from the clock tower. This is Mr. Bryant’s fourth Hebron repair job. His first project was repairing the clock’s gears. He returned to refurbish the strike mechanism and again to replace the clock face. With the new weathervane in place perhaps he can keep his feet firmly on Hebron ground instead of up on the clock tower’s heights!

Monhegan Island captivates Hebron Middle Schoolers old Trap Day, when lobstermen set their traps in the island's exclusive fishing waters. "It was cool to see the lobstermen on Monhegan because it gives you a sense of one of Maine's most important industries at work," said seventh grader Brooks Layman. Stacks and stacks of lobster traps lined the harbor as lobster boats took turns to load. The island's only school is a one-room schoolhouse, currently serving five students in grades 3–8. The middle school chorus performed for the students, and then the Monhegan students joined in to sing "Possibili-
ties." For Hebron teacher Steve Middleton that moment was one of the best of the trip. "I will always remember when the Hebron Academy chorus was joined by the five Monhegan students. Without any practice, their voices joined together and sounded great," he said. "I walked outside to listen and heard the sound actually descend into the village where people stopped and looked toward the hilltop school. It was magical." Christine Hemmings

n October the 35 middle school students packed their seabags and spent two adventure-filled days on Monhegan Island, about ten miles off the coast of Maine. Monhegan's 700 acres-the island is about 1 1/2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide--range from high cliffs overlooking the ocean on the western side, miles of walking trails in the center of the island to the beautiful harbor on the eastern side of the island. Monhegan Island is probably best known as an artist's colony. Since the 1800s many artists have visited the island and captured its unique beauty, including N.C. Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth and Rockwell Kent. Hebron art teacher Mary Anderson took the group to Lobster Cove, a popular destination spot for birders, where they spent time interpreting the expansive
Another highlight of the trip was a visit to the Monhegan Museum, which was built in the 1800s and served as a lighthouse and lightkeeper's dwelling until the 1950s. It became a museum in the late 1960s and houses old documents, photographs, furniture, Indian artifacts, and paintings that chronicle

F
or some, service is a grand and glorious idea, a panorama painted with a palette knife on a large canvas. For others, the joy comes in the satisfaction of a job done right, of the many tiny brushstrokes that together make a master work. The recipient of this year's Distinguished Service Award, which honors a person whose contributions to the Academy or society are felt to be exemplary, is from the second category. He does not seek acknowledgment but quietly gets the job done. With attention to detail and an ability to combine aesthetics with practicality, he understands the subtleties that make a difference. Let me share a few items with you. When summer rains spurred undergrowth on the cross-country trail, he went down to the woods and cut it back. When winter comes, he will groom the same trail for nordic skiing. When the hockey stick on the Scott Smith trophy was broken, he made another. He arranged for the repair and reinstallation of the weathervane. He made permanent plaques for the awards given at Commencement—the plaques that we pass daily on our way to and from the dining room. He built the lockers for the girls' hockey team and the fittings for the ski room in
By now you must know who I am talking about. David Stonebraker has given over half his life to Hebron: teaching English; coaching soccer, golf, kayaking, cycling, skiing and lacrosse; advising the outing club, working at one time or another as English department chair, Director of Admissions and Director of Studies. He even took on the challenges of alumni relations and fund raising during a particularly difficult time. He is the school Archivist, carefully cataloguing and sharing the school's wealth of historical materials. As Winder of the Tower Clock, he keeps us on time. This care extends beyond Hebron. As a board member of the camp association on Kennebago Lake's pristine shores, he made sure that any problem he saw was fixed, and fixed right. He has been known to stop and move rocks out of the camp road to smooth the way for everyone. Although none of them play, Dave and his family spent two summers refurbishing the old, traditional clay Kennebago tennis court. He saw the need and his stewardship preserved the court for others to enjoy.

returning with a master's degree. New England's ancient landscape instilled a deep and abiding love for the out-of-doors in him. He is drawn not only to open green spaces but also to the mountains and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Maine's waterways. It is not just the "things" that he cares about. Many years ago Dave and his wife Charlotte provided a home for a senior who would have been unable to finish at Hebron otherwise. Out of that experience grew the Community Scholarship Fund, now named for Charlotte Rea Stonebraker, which Dave carefully stewards, and which provides funding for at least two deserving students each year. He is most at home in the classroom and has shared his love of literature, poetry and writing with a generation of Hebron students.

Fall sports roundup
Golf
F
rom individual accomplishments in golf, mountain biking, and cross country, to team successes in a number of our other sports, Hebron athletes enjoyed a positive and productive fall athletic season. Boys’ JV soccer capped off a winning season with their fifth maisad championship in a row, and the field hockey team captured their fourth maisad title in as many years, narrowly missing a bid to the New England tournament. Football enjoyed a great win over Kents Hill, bringing the Headmasters’ chair back to Hebron, while the girls’ soccer team had a convincing win over Berwick Academy in the inaugural game on our new soccer field. Congratulations, especially, to the boys’ varsity soccer team who followed up their maisad championship victory with a New England bid, advancing to the semifinal round of the tournament.

Hockey began at Hebron in the early 1920s when a group of boys and teachers built and flooded a rink in Andrews Field. Interest grew rapidly and soon Hebron had a covered arena—provided by trustee F.O. Stanley—and drew players from all over New England. Some of those players, like E ddie Jeremiah, became legendary figures in the sport. The fortunes of Hebron’s teams waxed and waned over the years, particularly after the collapse of the second Stanley Arena in 1960. The new outdoor rink presented significant microclimate challenges and by the early 1990s the teams were spirited but small. Construction of Robinson Arena in 1993 re-energized the program, and the team that took to the ice that fall not only defeated their first home opponent but went straight on to claim the NEPSIHA Division II title. The boys continue to be perennial contenders in the New England tournament, winning the
DII championship in 2006 and playing in the semi-finals in 2007 and 2008. Girls’ hockey began in 1998 and took the Division II title in their second season. The girls’ program continues its steady growth and success, with multiple tournament appearances in its first decade. Many Hebron players—girls and boys alike—have gone on to distinguished college careers and coaching. The move to Division I will allow the boys’ team to maintain its level of competitive play and strong rivalry with competing schools both in ice hockey and in admissions. It coincides with the recent and planned shifts of several of our closest competitive neighbor schools to the higher division, including Tilton, Proctor, Brewster, Holderness and Kents Hill. The Hebron girls will remain in Division II where they will continue to play a strong schedule against a variety of teams from both divisions.

Meghan Munro ’09 (right) and Eric Rodriguez ’09 (center) spoke about what the new athletic center would mean to them and to their fellow students. Keynote speaker Travis Roy (left), who graduated from North Yarmouth Academy, delivered an eloquent address about his career-ending hockey injury and his odyssey of recovery and self-discovery. Mr. Roy was injured just 11 seconds into his first shift on the ice with the Boston University hockey team. He is paralyzed from the neck down and has struggled to regain movement in his right hand. In his inspiring speech, he encouraged the audience to set ambitious goals, to take advantage of unexpected opportunities and to value friends and family beyond athletic success.

Hebron Inducts First Members of Athletic Hall of Fame by Leslie A. Guenther
T
he first inductees to Hebron Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame embody the mission of athletics in an independent school: to foster physical well-being and the values of teamwork, to encourage personal growth through the pursuit of excellence in sport and to teach universal lessons of dedication, commitment, and fair play. Our inductees demonstrate these qualities, but even more, they have modeled in their lives the joy and passion of sport and have shared these qualities with others.
Charles C. Dwyer ’04
Edward John Jeremiah ’26
Charles Allison Merrill ’39
Charlie Dwyer arrived in Hebron in 1900 to work as a laborer on Sturtevant dormitory which was then nearing completion. By the spring of that year, Charlie had enrolled at Hebron and had become a member of the baseball team. During his years as a student at Hebron, he played football and baseball, contributing successfully to each of those teams. After he graduated from Colby
For many a hockey fan, Eddie Jeremiah is a familiar name. In 1925 Eddie arrived at Hebron to prepare for Dartmouth College and to be a member of Hebron’s first official hockey teams in 1925 and 1926. A multi-sport athlete, Eddie played successfully at Hebron and lettered in football, ice hockey, and baseball
Al Merrill was a Mainer with a passion and talent for Nordic skiing. At Hebron, he distinguished himself as a cross-country skier; he also skied successfully in college, was an alternate to the 1948 US Olympic team in the Nordic combined, and participated in International competition in 1950.
while at Dartmouth, earning All-American honors in hockey and playing professional hockey after graduating. While recovering from an injury, Eddie returned to Hebron to coach our hockey team for two years before heading back to Dartmouth where he began the “Jeremiah era”—nearly three decades at the helm of a very successful college program. Even today, generations of Hebron hockey players may recall Eddie’s motto—”heads up and keep fighting”—a motto he shared with generations of players and one which is still present in our varsity hockey locker room today. After his death, Eddie was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and today we are proud to add his name to the list of inductees in our own Athletic Hall of Fame.
Like Charlie Dwyer and Eddie Jeremiah, Al eventually turned to coaching, serving as head coach of the United States ski team from 1963–1968. A member of the US National Ski Hall of Fame and the Maine Ski Hall of Fame, Hebron is proud to follow suit, adding Al to our list of Hall of Fame inductees.
College, Charlie returned to Hebron as a teacher and coach, and, along with his wife, would contribute significantly to the life of our school for more than 50 years. Such was Charlie’s positive influence on all those who learned from and played for “Coach” that we remember him to this day as we play on our Dwyer Fields, engage in meetings in the Dwyer Room, and annually honor an outstanding scholar-athlete at graduation with the Dwyer Award. It is fitting the first inductee to Hebron’s Athletic Hall of Fame should be the man who for so many years embodied service to Hebron students and commitment and passion for Hebron athletics.
Hebron Academy Semester • Fall 2008 • 25
Robert W. McCoy, Jr. ’58
Laurie Pinchbeck Whitsel ’83
Addison A. Augusta
Bob McCoy played soccer, hockey, and tennis during his time at Hebron, and went on to be a member of Harvard’s varsity hockey team. Eventually setting aside his hockey stick for a full set of sticks, Bob has pursued his passion for golf for a lifetime. A panelist for Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, Bob has helped to select the top 100 courses in the world and the United States. His golf travels have taken him to courses many of us golf nuts only dream of playing, both at home and abroad. In 1997, Bob earned the distinction of playing the top 100 golf courses in the world in 100 days. As one who has embraced golf as a life-long sport and avocation, we are delighted to welcome Bob McCoy into Hebron’s athletic hall of fame.
When Laurie Pinchbeck enrolled at Hebron as a sophomore in 1980, it was less than a decade after the school had ended 50 years of boys-only enrollment. In her first year at Hebron, Laurie played on the boys’ JV soccer team because there was no team for girls, and she was captain of the first girls’ team when that program began. After distinguishing herself as a multi-sport athlete at Hebron, Laurie went on to play soccer and softball and to participate in Nordic skiing at Bates College. Laurie took her involvement with soccer to the national level as the first female president of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and as she worked for the US Soccer Federation in Colorado Springs. A member of the Bates Scholar-Athlete Society, and a Hebron Academy Cup winner, it is an honor to welcome Laurie as the first female inductee to the Hebron Academy Hall of Fame.
Addison A. Augusta, or “Triple A” as he was affectionately known by his students, coached an impressive 41 seasons of athletics during his tenure at Hebron. Whether on the track, the trails, the courts or in the classroom, Ad insisted on hard work, dedication, fair play, and respect from his students and teams. It seemed only fitting that when Mr. Augusta arrived on campus in 1959 to become Athletic Director, he would settle in next door to Charlie Dwyer in Long Cottage, continuing the legacy of high standards and integrity that Charlie had begun at Hebron all those years ago. Further, he was instrumental in developing Hebron’s first artificial rink where Robinson Arena now stands, in carving a competition ski area on the slopes of Little Singepole and in overseeing the creation of the Dwyer fields. Many former students recall Ad’s profound and positive influence on them during their Hebron years. We welcome Addison A. Augusta as the final inaugural member of Hebron’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
William C. Harding, Jr. ’63 Under Coach Addison Augusta’s tutelage at Hebron, Will Harding was a 5-time letterman and captain of Hebron’s cross country and track teams in his senior year. Over the years, Will has maintained his interest in running, both as a participant and as a coach. In addition to this passion, Will has also dedicated himself and had noteworthy success as a bicyclist, motorcyclist, and triathlete. He is a two-time participant in the Hawaiian Ironman, and has the distinction of competing both as a motorcyclist and a bicyclist in the tour of the Isle of Man, Great Britain. He remains active in sport, sharing his dedication and passion with young runners from the Green Mountain Running Camp, the Hogtown Athletic Club and the University of Florida Tri-Gators Triathalon Club. Congratulations, Will.
Hall of Fame inductees: Laurie Pinchbeck Whitsel ’83, Addison Augusta, Bob McCoy ’58 and Will Harding ’63.

Gone Fishing by Bev Leyden
Hebron Academy Semester • Fall 2008 • 27
I
magine my delight when in early spring Mel Nadeau ’76 e-mailed me saying “OK, Bev, time for you to come up north and try salmon fishing.” When I told him that I had never fished for salmon, or fly-fished before, Mel told me not to worry—they would teach me.
Because Mel had advised going through Newfoundland I called good friends Linda and Jim Roche, parents of Jamie ’95 and Darren ’97, in Corner Brook, and asked if I could pay them a visit in July. Nice people that they are, they invited me to come and stay as long as I could! Then I checked in with the Alumni Office and told them of my upcoming trip; we worked out a plan for perhaps visiting other Hebron alumni along the way. I made the appropriate ferry and hotel reservations and started assembling my gear—warm clothes and bug dope being the most important things according to Mel. I also needed a pair of waders, so off I trooped to L.L. Bean and with much amusement bought a pair of the smallest
men’s waders (size 5—I wonder why there are no women’s waders?). As the clerk packed the waders in the box, he carefully pointed out the belt in the bottom of the box and told me to be sure and put that on before going out in the water; otherwise, when I fell in, the waders would fill up and I would sink to the bottom! On Thursday, July 3, I awoke early, hopped in the car and headed for Moncton. I arrived at the hotel at about 4:45 Maine time (5:45 New Brunswick time) and just missed meeting Nick Bradley ’01. Meghan Gillis ’03 had invited me to stay in Whycocomagh (took me awhile to learn how to pronounce that name!) with her parents. Sandra and Kevin Gillis and their son Adam are one more example of
the wonderful hospitality of our neighbors to the north. I enjoyed my stay with them and the lovely setting of their home, as well as the tasty and rare Glen Breton Canadian single malt whisky. Up early for the drive to the ferry in North Sidney. When boarding time came I was the first car on the ferry. I had chosen the daytime ferry in hopes of catching sight of a whale but no such luck—on this crossing or any other time. It was great to see Linda and Jim Roche and relax in Corner Brook before heading four hours north again to the St. Barbe ferry.
F
ortunately July 8 was a sunny day as the ferry landed in Blanc Sablon, Quebec, and I drove up to Riviere St. Paul to meet the Nadeaus. Murray ’75, Mel ’76 and Kirby ’77 Nadeau are three of a large family of siblings, cousins and other relatives in this small town on the water. It was a pleasure to meet them, their mother, extended family and friends. I was immediately made to feel welcome and indeed, almost a part of their family. At dinner that night, and every night I was there, a combination of brothers and friends prepared the meals—salmon, cod, cod tongue, scallops, crabmeat, and lobster— and everything was delicious and cooked to perfection! I have the feeling that their stories, like most school and fish stories, improve with age and retelling, and help to rekindle the memories of good times with friends and classmates. They did provide for lots of laughter and happy evenings. In the morning we left for the fishing expedition, a good 45-minute trip upriver in the boat at full speed—except over rocks!—to the pools and the chute. Murray had brought his son, 13-year-old John, so on that day Mel was Johnny’s guide and Kirby was mine. Kirby and I were in the river near the chute and I listened carefully to all that he had to say, trying to remember it all as we headed into the water. And then I threw out my first cast, eventually getting at least a little of “the hang” of it. What a thrill! I’m very sure that I have a lot to learn but I loved the quiet, the peacefulness, the smell of the trees over the river, watching the other fishermen—and especially seeing what I Mel Nadeau ’76 and his son Johnny with the catch of the day.

could do with the line. When it was time to go ashore for lunch I slipped and fell in the river—with the belt on of course! I was surprised the water was so warm and annoyed with myself for slipping when I was having such a good time. Later on Mel and Johnny came to a pool above us. Mel hooked a salmon and gave it to Johnny to land. It didn’t matter to me that I didn’t have a nibble all day because it was so exciting to watch Johnny walk the salmon downriver following all the shouted instructions and then land it almost where I had been standing earlier. Johnny and I had catch-and-release licenses, so after the picture taking the 15-pound salmon was released for another day. What fun! I may have to explore this fly fishing a bit more… On a foggy day we drove across the Labrador line to Mary’s Harbour to visit the Basques Museum. The Basques were probably the first to reach this area of North America. The museum in Riviere St. Paul is quite interesting and has done a good job of acquiring and preserving the early history of this small fishing village. I hope that sometime they include pictures—with sound—of lobster feasts with everyone joining in the singing—especially Kirby. A highlight of the trip to Mary’s Harbour was the stop at Mia’s Gallery, where artist Michael Osborne ’76 has his studio and work on display. Michael has traveled around the world for inspiration and to learn about different art techniques; it was a pleasure to meet him and see his work.
I felt truly honored to be invited to try salmon fishing and to meet these enthusiastic Hebron alumni and their family and friends. Many thanks to Mel, Kirby, Murray, Mrs. Nadeau, other sisters, brothers, relatives and friends!
I
made it back to Corner Brook in time to accompany Linda and Jim Roche to a small gathering of Hebron folks. It’s no wonder that our Canadian students and alumni are so great; their parents are a huge measure of the reason why! Loretta Bugden, mother of Jana ’03, and Jean and Austin
Simms, parents of Mark ’07 caught me up on wedding and job news. We were sorry that other alumni and family were unable to make it, but we’ll catch you all next time! Jim Roche is also a fishing guide and brought home brook trout for one of our meals in Corner Brook. Jim reminded me that the Humber River in Newfoundland is also well known for its salmon fishing… sounds like another fishing trip! Linda is the executive assistant (for western Newfoundland and Labrador) to the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador which called for a visit to her office in Corner Brook’s only “skyscraper” with its beautiful views of the city and surroundings. Speaking with Jamie and Darren by video cam was a treat—especially to see each of their beautiful daughters. The days passed too quickly with the Roches. Nothing beats visits with good friends. Back home again to hang up the waders for another day, reflect on so many good people and the opportunity to enjoy their company and their home towns, and to be grateful for the Hebron Experience which has brought us all together.

For the people, by the people
Local Politics
by Jennifer F. Adams
W
hat was it about this past election cycle that caught the public’s attention? The outsized personalities of the major candidates? The Iraq war? The economic collapse? No matter what the cause, the citizenry is once again watching their elected officials closely. We recently discovered that two Hebron alumni—one a Democrat, the other Republican—are active in Maine politics and both attended their respective national conventions this summer. We thought it would be interesting to have a conversation with them about their work, assuming that the excitement of the campaign would be their primary focus. Instead we discovered that these classmates, while fascinated by the mechanics of election politics, could talk for hours about policy and the unglamorous work of governing.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jim Fossel ’01 (right) and Arden Manning ’01 sit on opposite sides of the fence, although they agree that they aren’t so much opposed as having different points of view. Jim is a policy aide for the Maine House minority leader, Josh Tardy, working closely with the office’s communications director, the chief of staff and the leadership to develop and promote the House Republican agenda. It is primarily a desk job, involving a fair amount of research and line-by-line analysis of budgets and reports. Hebron: It’s interesting that you are classmates and in opposition. Why are you involved? What motivates you? Jim: I don’t think we’re so much on opposite sides as in different places. We have different fundamental core beliefs, but we’re both trying to do everything we can for the people of Maine. That’s what got me involved in this. Hebron: Your father has been involved in politics for quite a while, right? Jim: Yes. He just got elected to the State House for the first time, on his third try. He’s been been involved in the Republican party for a long time. Arden: There’s a big difference there. Politics wasn’t something that I really focused on or really cared that much about when I first came to Hebron. I think that the values that I learned at Hebron—openness, fairness, accountability—really helped shape my political beliefs. I skipped my senior year at Hebron and went to an early program at the University of Maine, where I volunteered a little bit on the 2000 campaign. The events
In his role as executive director, Arden is responsible for oversight of the Maine Democratic Party. He and his staff run campaigns for all the Democratic candidates, from the state legislature right on up to president. He works on political strategy, oversees all party operations from staffing to budget, and speaks to the press. In fact, if you live in Maine, you have probably heard him on the radio or seen him on local television.
that unfolded right after election day made me realize that I needed to pay more attention. I went to sleep and Al Gore was president; I woke up and George Bush was president, and I didn’t know what had happened. Shortly after that I got more involved with volunteering through the [Howard] Dean campaign, and up to where I am presently. Hebron: How do you get a job like yours? Arden: Field organizing is where most people get started. I was a field organizer in Colorado for the Dean campaign in the 2004 election, and then I came back to Maine. I got a job working for the Democratic Party and quickly became communications director. After a few years of doing that I took over as executive director. Hebron: Jim, I understand that you are new to your job. Jim: Yes, for the second time in 12 months, which is pretty typical. Well before the election I started working for Senator [Susan] Collins in the Augusta federal office, mostly doing constituent service and outreach, and helping with communications here and there. That
was a great experience for me because Susan is a fantastic role model; she works harder than anybody else I’ve ever seen. Two years ago, I worked on [State Senator] Peter Mills’s [R-Cornville] gubernatorial primary campaign. There were several of us volunteering for that campaign. Unfortunately his campaign didn’t work out, but I went on from there. Hebron: Did you know that Peter Mills’s father went to Hebron? Arden: What’s the joke about the Mills family? All the women are Democrats and all the men are Republicans. Jim: And they run everything. Especially now. Arden: Yes, because Janet Mills was just appointed attorney general. Hebron: Maine is fascinating to me because I can’t decide if it’s a microcosm or something completely different. Arden: Well, Maine is a small state. I’ve done events up in Aroostook County and run into someone I know from southern Maine. Someone knows someone who knows someone. It’s maybe two or three connections away.

The Democratic National Convention in Denver
Arden Manning ’01 at his communications post. As Executive Director, I was in charge of managing our delegation to Denver. This ranged from planning and logistics to standing on the floor with the delegates and communicating with the convention leadership via telephone. At the Convention I was also responsible for communications. I called into early morning radio back home and remember sitting in my hotel room at 4:15 a.m. talking with WVOM’s Maine in the Morning.
Arden Manning ’01 and Elizabeth Rozeboom ’00 waiting in line at Invesco Field. It was 6:15 back in Maine. I am sure I sounded exhausted on the phone. I also did live television with Portland stations and worked with the print reporters for the Bangor Daily News among others. The final day was truly amazing. We waited in the stadium line for two hours with 80,000 people—more than the entire city of Portland! I was on the floor right in front of the CBS booth and the Fox news booth. This is something that I will tell my children and grandchildren: I was there when Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.
The Maine delegation’s view as Barack Obama formally accepted the party’s nomination.
Jim: And we have such easy, ready access to all of our elected officials that we just take it for granted. I went to Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. In my four years there I participated in Pennsylvania politics which is much rougher than Maine. I was very active, but I never met either of the two senators until my senior year. In Maine I see [Senator] Susan [Collins] and [Senator] Olympia [Snowe] all the time. Arden: During the 2006 campaign, the party worked very closely on Governor Baldacci’s re-election, but people wouldn’t come ask us questions, they’d just go to the Baldacci’s family restaurant on weekends. They knew that John Baldacci would be at the restaurant waiting tables, so they could just go there to talk to him. Jim: I have a friend who ran for the state house in a much larger state where they have about 60,000 people in their districts for the state house of representatives. He didn’t go door-to-door. He raised tens of thousands of dollars. He had television ads, he had radio ads, he had full time staff, hired about 15 people. It’s very different. Arden: The great thing about Maine’s size is that you really can go door-to-door. This time our focus was a grass-roots campaign, so we actually made two million phone calls. By election day our volunteers had talked to 40% of the people who voted. The turnout was astronomical and we had many people who had never participated before. We got a call on election day from a woman in Bangor. She was in her late 60s and she’d never voted before. And she wanted to know, first of all, “What’s the electoral college?” and second of all, “How do I register to vote? I want to make sure that Barack Obama wins.” The size of the state lends itself to that kind of grass-roots activism. And because we know our elected officials we are a little bit more positive than places where they are just names. It’s easier to say something bad about some random name you hear on television than about someone you actually know. I think in general, in the cycles that I’ve worked here in Maine, that while there’s been criticism and disagreement and contrast it’s tended to remain very respectful. Jim: I remember going to the movies in Brunswick and running into [then Governor] Angus King and his family at McDonald’s. People were leaving them alone and letting them eat. It was no big deal. There

was one state trooper outside, just in case, but they were being normal people. That’s a good thing about our system here—all of our elected officials, from state representative on up—are never that far removed from us. Arden: It’s easy to run into [second district congressman] Mike Michaud, he’s a millworker, he’s just an average guy. Jim: It’s hard not to run into Mike Michaud. Arden: He’s everywhere. If you’re in the second district long enough you run into Mike Michaud. There are only two congressmen in Maine, so they are pretty important. So while you may have pretty good access to them, they are still important figures that congressmen are not in a larger state. So for example, in Colorado, where they have eight congressmen, you might not have as much access and they aren’t quite as big or as important a public position. Jim: In California, state senators represent almost twice as many people as congressmen do. There are 700,000 people in their state senate districts. Two California state senate districts are larger than Maine. Arden: So it goes both ways. We have a lot of access and at the same time our congressmen have a higher level of significance than the congressmen in California or Texas. Jim: The thing that’s impressive about so many of our elected officials, from senator right on down, is that a good portion of them work so hard at campaigning and governing and constituent service. They pour their hearts and souls into it. And our legislators do it for eight years and then they go back home. They are able to step back and have a life afterwards as opposed to everything being a stepping-stone. Hebron: Most of Maine’s legislators still have real jobs, right? Arden: They get paid about $10,000 a year and they get health care. Jim: And travel expenses. Arden: But they can’t have that as their sole income. Hebron: So they have to have a passion for it, or they aren’t going to do it. Do you think that’s typical? Jim: I think one of the most wonderful things about our entire system is that people will make sacrifices for things they believe in. They do it not by strapping
dynamite to their chests and blowing up a movie theater, but by participating, by getting involved in a peaceful way. Arden: We had about 14,000 people in this cycle who did some volunteer work to help us. One woman said, “I don’t do phone calls, I don’t knock on doors, but I will make you brownies, every day, and bring them to you.” We also had people come and work 40, 80, 100 hours a week, unpaid. A woman from Denmark, Denmark the country, showed up in our office and said that she wanted to help. When we told her that we didn’t have any positions available, she said, “Oh no, I don’t want to get paid, I just want to volunteer.” So she was in our office, volunteering as many hours as our staff was working. The level of interest, especially in the last two cycles, has been significantly higher, in terms of turnout and in terms of volunteerism. Hebron: Do you think it will continue? Arden: What we are really focusing on is that change is not checking off the ballot box and then saying, “OK, Barack Obama won, everything is going to be better.” Change means working with the Obama administration and the local legislature to be sure that we actually push through something different. So I think, and hope, that people will be involved because if they do want to see fundamental changes, they have to stay involved. They can’t just vote and step back and expect everything to be fine. Jim: From our point of view, we’re going to work pretty hard to bring fundamental change not only to DC but also to Augusta. For me, the most important thing right now is focusing on Maine and getting all parts of state government working better. I had to analyze the Governor’s Curtailment Order1 as part of my job. I was fascinated by some of the ways departments found to cut spending. There were things like, “Oh, we didn’t realize that actually federal money paid for this so we can give back the state money.” Or, “We didn’t realize that that program only cost us $33,000 for the year, so we can give back the additional $7000 we asked for.” Or, “We’re not going to pay for all these vacant positions.” That sort of common-sense approach needs to be brought into state government all the time, not just in when we’re in crisis mode. We have to figure out a way to make the state function efficiently and provide services to people who need them, and who deserve to
be helped. It isn’t good for the taxpayers or the people who need services if we fritter away the money in unfruitful ways. I think that both sides of the aisle are going to work together this session to find ways to make everything better. Arden: It’s always difficult. We get phone calls too: “You need to cut; you need to cut x, y and z; you need cut everything.” We do agree that things need to be cut, but when you actually ask somebody, “Where should we cut?” you realize how hard the decision really is. When we cut something, we aren’t just drawing a line through it. We’re cutting a program that, for example, helps a working mother with child care so she can go to work. It’s going to be a tough couple of years. Not to sound overly partisan, but I think we’ve had eight years of what I view as wrong-headed policies and that’s why I got involved. I think it will take, hopefully four years, but maybe eight years to totally change the direction of the country. Jim: I think we’ve had eight years of that in Maine too. We’ve had inefficient government for far longer than that and before you start to affect services that people need you’ve got to look at it and say not only “What can I do better as a state employee?” but what can the legislature do better to be able to save money? What can the executive branch do better to focus on the services and not on the bureaucracy? What can the judicial branch do to administer fair and open justice for the state? That’s what government should be doing, not creating a bureaucracy that provides insulation for people. That’s not what government is there for. Arden: I think there’s a not so much a disgreement—and I’m not sure Jim was articulating the Republican line there—but I think that there’s a difference in the way the Democratic side is often characterized than what the Democratic side is. It’s about providing opportunity, it’s about providing a safety net. It’s often mischaracterized as a “hand out” as opposed to a “hand up.” Jim: I think that actually that’s exactly right. I was talking less about the programs that help people than I was talking about the government itself. The State of Maine is the largest employer in the state of Maine. Something about that isn’t right. The goods and services that they provide shouldn’t feed on themselves in such a circular way. There are more and more agencies with more and more staff and less

Senator Snowe and Governor McKernan did not arrive on the first day, so although we only did a few hours of housekeeping business, it was a privilege to represent Maine as a full delegate for that day. The early convention schedule was changed because of the devastation along the Gulf Coast due to

When so many of our delegates were worried about their homes and families, it didn’t seem right to be celebratory. We heard from Gulf Coast governors via satellite, all of whom are Republicans: Rick Perry of Texas, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Haley Barbour of Mississippi, and Charlie Crist of Florida. Being there during Senator McCain’s and Governor Palin’s nominating acceptance speeches was fantastic, and seeing the roll-call of the states in person was interesting. There are only a few times in my life that I’ve been a part of crowds that were that excited, and they were all at sporting events.

and less of what they should actually be doing. We have to make sure that whatever state budget we have—whether we cut it or not—is spent wisely and fairly and not in any inefficient way that wastes people’s hard-earned money. Hebron: Are you seeing your peers getting involved in politics? Arden: I’ve been in intermittent contact with Erik Yingling, who graduated in 2000, a year before me. He worked for Claire McCaskill [D-Mo.] in 2006, and worked with some of the people who had worked on Tom Allen’s campaign here in Maine. This year he was the canvass director for Jeanne Shaheen, who just won a Senate seat in New Hampshire. Back in June he called to tell me that they had just hired Cora Zeugmann ’99. So Cora worked with Erik Yingling on Jeanne Shaheen’s campaign in New Hampshire. Elizabeth Rozeboom ’00 worked for Tom Allen. Ezra Dore-Hark ’01 worked for John Baldacci in 2006. Jim: Hopefully people who think campaigning is fun will get involved in government as well. Because that’s the end result. We can get lost in the minutia of campaigning—raising money, running around, going door-to-door—and then when we get elected we forget how
Did you know? • Maine’s two senators are Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. The two congressmen are Democrat Chellie Pingree, who just won the first district seat vacated by Tom Allen and Democrat Mike Michaud, who retained his second district seat. • Maine has a part-time legislature, made up of 186 members, 151 in the House and 35 in the Senate. They meet in two sessions—December to June and January to April—during the two year legislative term period. • Hebron connections in the House include John Robinson ’91 (R-Raymond), parent Meredith Strang Burgess (R-Cumberland) and Jim’s father Leslie Fossel (R-Alna). • Maine House districts encompass about 8400 people and Senate districts about 35,000.
to govern. We get so polarized that when we actually get to the state house we can hardly bear to look at each other, let alone work together to solve people’s problems. Hebron: Is there a difference between politics and government? Jim: I think so. For example, my boss Josh Tardy [R-Newport], has a great relationship with the new speaker, Hannah Pingree [D-North Haven]. They don’t agree on everything, but they are friends and they get along well. She respects him and he respects her, and they are going to work together to solve the budget problem. And I think in Maine that happens much more than in other places. And the other thing is that once they get done with the campaigning and the governing, they go back to being your friends and neighbors. Hebron: What do you think the next eight years will bring Maine and the country? Arden: I hope to see a universal health care system. I hope to see a more sound financial system, nationally. Jim’s talked a lot about the economics here in the state, getting spending under control. My side of the aisle is often characterized as “tax and spend,” but we’ve seen “cut taxes and spend money that’s not there” nationally. I think that with Democrats in control in DC, with President Obama and with a different breed of Republicans left in Washington, that we’ll see some changes in the way that money is spent there. And I think that eight years from now, Maine will be a better place and the country will be a better place. Jim: I’ll bring it back home a little bit. I hope to see somewhat radical change in the way our state government operates. I think our state government could be a lot more open and transparent. Although we’ve been talking about how available everybody is, Maine is the only state where none of our constitutional officers, except for the governor, are elected directly by the people. They are all elected by the legislature. I think independent constitutional officers should be directly answerable to all of us. And that would make it much easier for people to make the big jump from running a state legislative campaign to running for United States Senate or running for governor. There would be a step in between where people could learn how to run a slightly larger scale campaign without it having to be quite as intense as a national-level senate or gubernatorial campaign is.

Hebron: Both of you seem to be enjoying what you’re doing. Arden: One of the best things about campaigning in Maine is that you really get to see the state. I’ve been almost everywhere in the state now, everywhere from Eastport to Wells, Fort Kent and Smyrna. It is very fun and rewarding as well. You have to enjoy it if you’re going to work the hours that need to go into it. Seeing policies passed that our candidates support is going to be so rewarding. I really do think that over the next year or so we’ll see the troops withdrawn from Iraq and the money spent here at home. Jim: I think we’ll see a change in the tone and tenor of what’s been happening in Washington. People, rather than getting elected and saying “I’m going to do what I’ve got to do, period,” are going to get together with others and say “I want to see how far I can get towards what I want to do. Will you go with me?” Arden: I think we’ll see that. What we have seen until recently is the majorityof-the-majority-rule, meaning when the Republicans were in control of Washington, if they could get the majority of the caucus to agree on something, they pushed it. I think there was concern coming from the punditry that once the Democrats got there it was going to be the same kind of majority-of-the-majority. I don’t think that’s going to happen. I really think we’re going to see a much more bipartisan approach and I think that President-elect Obama has made that very clear. Jim: I hope that’s what we see in Augusta as well. The Democrats have 96 seats. They could just ignore us. But I hope we come together and find policies from both our philosophies that will make all of Maine and the country a better place. But at the end of the day to see someone come up to a legislator and say, “You got my husband his VA check. We can afford our medicine because of what your staff did.” That kind of direct assistance, that kind of help, is really what makes all this interesting. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.

Reflections from the 1958 Hebron Cup recipient
Leonard C. Lee
I
n thinking about my life and the impact that attending Hebron Academy had upon it, I must confess how it was that I came to Hebron in the first place. It seems I was what could be referred to as an underachiever, or maybe just a “good time Charlie” high school student. When I graduated from Deering High School in Portland and my parents received my last report card, they were not too pleased with my grades. I didn’t get told too often that I would do something but soon after high school graduation, I was informed that I would be attending Hebron Academy the next year in the hopes I could pull up my grades for college acceptance. That year at Hebron was a turning point in my life. The faculty all became mentors to me. They kept me on track with little idle time. I applied myself in all areas of Hebron life, including becoming an All American swimmer. I can remember realizing that I had a great interest in my academics. Being awarded the Hebron Cup was a total surprise! My good grades along with receiving the Hebron Cup allowed me to be accepted by Bowdoin College. I had also been given an appointment to the Air Force Academy, however (and I think due to so much reading and studying) my eyesight failed to meet the academy qualifications. As it turned out, Bowdoin College was the right place for me. My grandmother had advised me to get a strong liberal arts education. Following her advice, I took as many
different courses as possible. I was given a second appointment to the Air Force Academy after my first year at Bowdoin—the eyesight qualifications had changed. I chose not to take the appointment which I believe was one of the better choices of my life. Bowdoin allowed me to continue the academic interests fostered at Hebron Academy. And so four years later, I graduated from Bowdoin with a major in mathematics and a minor in religions. After graduation, I enlisted in the Air Force, just two weeks before I would have received my draft notice. My Bowdoin degree was my passport to Officer Training School. At the end of OTS, I was ranked in the top ten of my class. At that point, the Air Force sent me to navigation school, where I graduated first in my class. Assigned to the C-130 aircraft, I completed two tours of duty in Viet Nam and was distinguished as the #1 ranked navigator in the Asian Pacific theatre. As Lead Navigator I not only was in charge of standard evaluations for pilots and navigators, I also planned and carried off the biggest military air drop since World War II. At the end of these tours, I was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. My career in the Air Force was, for me, an exceptional experience. Among my assignments following Viet Nam were NATO and Canadian Forces Exchange Officer in Winnipeg, Canada, for three years, Director of New Air Force Navigational Equipment at TAC Headquarters, and Director of Logistics at Vandenberg Air Force Base where I planned and directed

the emergency escape strategy for President Ronald Reagan at his Santa Barbara, CA, ranch. And I also did get to the Air Force Academy where I spent three years teaching cadets and was Deputy Director of Navigation Programs. After 22 years, I retired from the Air Force with the rank of Lt. Colonel. Little did I know that the navigational courses I created and wrote for the Air Force Academy would pave my way to a fifteen-year career at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ. After my retirement, my wife Lorraine and I moved from Santa Barbara, CA, to Prescott, AZ. I was interviewing for a teaching position with ERAU, and discovered that the Aeronautical Sciences Department was using the global navigation course material which I had created, written and taught at the Air Force Academy. The rest, as they say, was history. After teaching navigational courses for the university, I then became the university’s Career Center Director of Cooperative Education. I retired from ERAU in 2005. My time at Hebron Academy was the foundation upon which the rest of my life was built. It was at Hebron that I was first inspired to apply myself to academics. Hebron’s high standards and the daily interaction with teachers and other mentors were characterbuilding opportunities. My year at Hebron Academy was the catalyst which engaged me in a life-long love and pursuit of learning. And for that I am truly grateful.

In God Stories, Jennifer Skiff shares the extraordinary experiences of people who have felt the power of God’s presence in their lives and been forever changed. A doctor opens the chest of a dying heart patient to discover her heart is healed; Marines watch as a fellow soldier in Iraq is hit by a powerful explosion only to discover, when the dust settles, that he is still standing and has no injuries; a struggling couple receives an answer to a prayer and are prevented from making a mistake that could cost them their children; a young woman loses her boyfriend on 9/11 and receives a message that brings her peace.
Mark Varnum ’80 The Hawk’s Cross Cold Brook Publishing, November 2008
Near the end of World War II, newly commissioned lieutenant Ken Mitchell returns to his hometown, assigned the mundane duty of a coastal watch. Desappointed with a boring job that keeps him from the action, he reconnects with his high school buddies, and tries to stifle feelings for his ex-sweetheart. Ken soon finds the war is closer than he thought. A wounded U-boat lurks in the waters off Maine, with spies as passengers and mines in her belly. The German boat edges closer and closer and soon transforms the sleepy town into a den of betrayal, murder and intrigue.

Reflections from the 1999 Hebron Cup Recipient
Jennifer Agnew Ridley ’99
I
graduated from Hebron in 1999 and went on to get my BS in nutrition and food science with a concentration in exercise science at the University of Vermont in Burlington, VT. While at UVM, I played 4 years of women’s hockey—2 years at the Division III level and 2 years at the Division 1 level. After graduating in the spring of 2003 I returned to Hebron Academy to teach Anatomy and Physiology, Middle School science and Biology. I also coached varsity lacrosse, ice hockey asnd field hockey and lived in Sturtevant Dorm. After three years, I left Hebron to pursue my MS in physical education from Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, MA. Since then, I have been working as a health coach and marketing department manager at Occupational Medical Consulting, LLC in Leeds, Maine. As a health coach, I work with 300 employees in a manufacturing company to counsel individuals on improving their overall health by making sustainable positive changes in their at-risk health behaviors. My husband (Corey Ridley) and I were married in August of 2007 and currently live at Hebron Academy where he works at the Athletic Trainer and Assistant Athletic Director. Although I graduated almost 10 years ago, I have been very connected to Hebron for many of the years following graduation. I look back on my college, graduate school and job experiences and truly feel that Hebron prepared me to handle the demands of all of these phases of my life (and all the others to come!) by teaching me time management skills, organizational skills and communication skills. I had many phenomenal teachers and coaches while at Hebron who supported me in my academics, athletics and personal interests and I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to attend Hebron.

Gauvreau and Marie-Louise Lebel Gauvreau. He graduated from Lewiston High School in 1937 and completed a post graduate course of study at Hebron Academy before enrolling in Bowdoin College in 1939.

Shortly thereafter he joined his flight squadron, VMF 222, the ‘Flying Deuces’, in the Solomon Islands. During his military service in World War II, Lieutenant Gauvreau flew over 100 combat missions in the Solomon Islands and Philippine Islands, flying F4U Corsairs with the VMF 222. After the war he returned to Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida, where he served as a flight instructor. From 1946 to 1950 he flew P-47 fighter aircraft with the Vermont Air National Guard.

hat do Fibonacci and field hockey have in common? How about Euler and basketball? Pi and track? All these mathematical properties—and more—are present in Hebron’s new athletic center. Last spring, SMRT architects Lynne Holler ’80 and Paul Lewandowski spoke at the Cum Laude Society Induction. Presented here are excerpts from their talk, in which they revealed a few of the principles behind the building’s design and construction.
The Golden Mean Considered the most pleasing ratio of a rectangle’s length and width, the golden mean, also known as Phi, has been used by artists and mathematicians for thousands of years. The ratio, 1.6180339, is related to the Fibonacci sequence and can be found in the spiral of the chambered nautilus as well as plants such as pineapples, pinecones and sunflowers. The golden mean is used throughout the building, both as a foundation for proportion and as a framework for some of the decorative elements.
Pi Perhaps the best known of the examples shown here, pi is the ratio of a circle’s diameter to its circumference. It is a mathematical constant and is a transcendental, or irrational, number approximately equal to 3.14159. Paul and Lynne used pi’s digits to vary the siding panels on the south side of the building.
Rectangles: 1:1, 1:2, 2:3, 3:5, 5:8, 8:13, 13:21, 21:34, 34:55, 55:89, and so forth Fibonnaci series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so forth

Also a mathematical constant, e is the base of the natural logarithm, approximately equal to 2.781828182845904523536.
A mathematical sequence beginning with 0 and 1. Successive numbers are derived by adding the previous two together: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc. The proportions of the Sturtevant Hall’s clock tower follow the Fibonacci sequence. Paul and Lynne mirrored that sequence in the athletic center’s tower entry, reversing the order.

Franklin Society Planned Gifts: investing in Hebron’s vision for tomorrow Established in 1994, the Franklin Society honors those individuals who have included Hebron in their estate plans, either by naming the Academy as beneficiary in a will or living trust, or by participating in a life-income gift arrangement. Recognizing Dr. Franklin’s qualities of foresight, prudent financial management and intellectual achievement, Hebron’s founders and first trustees voted to impress his likeness upon the school seal in 1804. It is in recognition of those same qualities that we have chosen Dr. Franklin as the focus and honoree of Hebron’s bequest society. G. William Allen ’62 David L. Babson* Donald E. Bates ’62 Albert R.

Hebron Academy has developed several planned giving opportunities for alumni, families, and friends. Though different in detail, each of our gift and estate planning vehicles may provide you with: • Reduced income tax • Avoidance of capital gains tax • Increased annual income • Reduced estate taxes Gifts of Cash Gifts of cash may be made outright or pledged to assist in the funding of Hebron's Campus Master Plan over a period of up to five years. Checks should be made payable to Hebron Academy. If you itemize, your gift is fully tax deductible up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Any excess may be carried forward for up to five years. You may designate the use of your gift, by enclosing a statement regarding its use or create a permanent named endowment fund in support of the Academy's people and programs. Gifts of Appreciated Property If you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets, you may find it advantageous to give them to Hebron Academy. An outright gift of long-term securities is exempt from capital gains taxes and, if you itemize, you may claim a charitable income tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the property at the time of transfer. For gifts of personal property, your gift is fully deductible for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, and like gifts of cash, may be carried forward for up to five years. Life Income Gifts Donors may make a gift to Hebron Academy and receive direct financial benefits including an income for life for the donor and/or the donor's spouse, and a charitable income tax deduction. There are two options, the charitable gift annuity and the deferred gift annuity. The first options requires a donor to attain the age of 70 1/2 to establish a charitable gift annuity and a minimum gift of $50,000. Deferred gift annuities are designed to serve those planning for retirement and as the name implies the annuity is deferred until the annuitant has attained the age of 65. If funded with long held securities the donor avoids capital gains and may realize a greater annual income. The gift may be designated to benefit a department or create an endowed fund at Hebron Academy. Charitable Remainder Trusts A charitable remainder trust is a personalized life income gift that provides a donor with a lifetime income and a charitable income tax deduction. The donor selects the payout rate, usually between 5 and 7 percent providing the donor, and the donor's
ROG–14 • 2007–2008 Hebron Academy Report of Giving
spouse, with an income every year for life. The higher the payout rate, the lower the charitable tax deduction. The donor selects the trustee who may invest in almost any investment including tax-free bonds. Donors may designate the remainder of their trust to benefit any program or department. Gifts of Real Estate You can make a gift of commercial or residential real estate to Hebron Academy and receive substantial benefits. For an outright gift of real estate, the donor receives a charitable income tax deduction based on the fair market value (appraised value) of the property. If you are considering leaving your home to Hebron through your will, you may wish to consider giving it now but retain the right to live in it during your lifetime. You are still responsible for paying taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs, but you do receive a substantial charitable income tax deduction in the year the gift is made. In some cases, real estate may be used to provide a life income stream through a charitable remainder trust or other gift planning option. Estate Planning For many donors, a gift made through a will or trust is the most realistic way to make a major gift. Property, including cash, securities, jewelry, works of art, and real estate, may be given through a will or trust. Through estate planning provisions, a donor may leave to Hebron Academy a specific dollar amount, for example, $50,000 or a specific percentage, such as 25% of the estate. The donor may stipulate whether the bequest is for the general support of Hebron Academy, or for a specific purpose such as the establishment of an endowed scholarship fund. A bequest may also be made in honor or memory of another individual. All outright bequests to Hebron are exempt from federal estate taxes. For a personal illustration of how a planned gift may satisfy your philanthropic objectives for Hebron Academy, please contact Tom Fogarty, Assistant Head of School for Advancement at 207-966-5285 or by e-mail at tfogarty@hebronacademy.org.
Volunteers for Hebron We are pleased and proud to acknowledge the volunteer efforts of alumni, parents and friends who give freely of their time and talents in support all manner of the Academy’s people and programs. Thank you!

James B. Hill graduated from Hebron in 1990 and went on to earn a degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. He became the third generation to lead his family’s Chicago-based mechanical engineering firm. While at Hebron, he was captain and MVP of the soccer team. More recently, as class agent, he organized his classmates’ return to the school’s bicentennial celebration in 2004. A year later, over a beer in Chicago, Jim expressed a willingness to help Hebron any way he could and specifically offered to come out to campus any time if we needed his help in the upcoming building projects. In 2006, committee chair Paul Goodof ’67 invited Jim to join the Athletic Center Building Committee as design planning began. Jim spent much of that year poring over plans and mechanical drawings on conference calls from his offices in Chicago.
In 2007, Jim was asked to join the Board of Trustees. During that year and in 2008 as construction began and progressed, he flew east for countless meetings, job site reviews and sessions with architects and mechanical engineers. He even logged overnights—stranded by bad weather—in airports between Chicago and Portland. Simply put, Jim made himself and his expertise available to everyone on the construction team. He is busy managing his business in Chicago, but he has always treated Hebron’s project and its people as a priority. Thank you, Jim, for helping to value-engineer the mechanical and construction aspects of the athletic center project, working closely and firmly with the engineers and contractors to ensure that the Academy will get a top-flight, smoothly-operating building.
