Postcard Memories

Presidential Impressions

Dear Editor: I entered McCallie in the fall of 1937, my sophomore year. Upon admission, we were provided with our uniforms and rifle, an Enfield, bolt action 306, like those used in World War I. As I recall, we had inspection each Saturday morning and everything had to be perfect – shoes shiny black, brass belt and buckles polished – but most importantly, our rifles thoroughly clean.

Captain Dunlap, commander of the cadet battalion, would march down the line in front of us and indiscriminately grab a rifle, open the bolt, peer down the barrel to be sure it shined, slap it back if approved, or assess a demerit if not.

In the postcard photograph of 1939 (McMallie Magazine, Winter 2013, page 24), I am somewhere in Company A. As I recall, Bob Street ’40 was Company A Captain, and Art Sibold ’39 was Major of the Battalion which was made up of four companies. Many others I fondly remember are – E.Y. Chapin ’40, Hardwick Caldwell ’40, Ike ’41 and John Belk ’39, David McCallie ’40 and particularly my lifelong friend from my hometown of Bluefield, W.Va., Jim Godwin ’40.

Classes were on weekday mornings with sports in the afternoon. Everyone had to participate. Football was in the fall, followed by basketball in the winter, soccer, baseball and track in the spring until year end. We had a gunnery range, and I and others could substitute gunnery for one of the sports. I think I did this for football or basketball because all I remember doing were soccer and track. I wasn’t much of an athlete but was a good shot and qualified for a number of medals with a 306 rifle; helpful experience when I was in Midshipman’s school a few years later.

Those were wonderful years, memories of which I treasure. g – Robert H. Moore Jr. ’40 Richmond, Va.

(L-R) Jameson Barnes, Colton Petty, Jean Coupe, President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter, John Wiener and Steven Wang.

In March, I took five students to see

former President Jimmy Carter teach Sunday School in Plains, Ga. It was one of the most unique experiences I’ve had as teacher. The President’s take on the Prodigal Son story in Luke served as an illuminating primary document for my students and me. At the end of the day, which included a trip to his boyhood farm, we better appreciated how Carter’s faith and his family story shaped his life and his legacy.

Before his Bible class began, Carter shared what he had been working on with the Carter Center the past year; mainly eradicating eye disease in Latin America and Africa. He also, of course, is still heavily involved with fair elections and said he would leave later that week to oversee an election in Nepal. Carter may be the most active 88-year-old man in America.

As he began the lesson, Carter asked the audience of about 200 in the Maranatha Baptist Church sanctuary if anyone could think of another great character from the Bible who went on a journey. He said that he wanted a redemption story. McCallie junior Jameson Barnes raised his hand and said, “How about Joseph?” Jameson and Carter then had a brief one-on-one conversation, whereby Carter asked him about Joseph, and Jameson responded with detail. Carter was noticeably impressed. Jameson’s moment on stage was remarkable considering he was in front of a room full of strangers (including a McCallie alumnus of the Class of '64), numerous cameras, and that he was

having a discussion with the 39th President of the United States.

The most interesting moment in the lesson for me came when Carter made a connection between his own family and the attitudes of the two sons and the father in the story. The older son in the story was the good son, Carter said, the younger son the profligate. I thought of how Carter’s own life reversed the order of that story in that he had been the one to leave Plains. He was the older successful son who had left to attend the Naval Academy, worked on a nuclear submarine, then returned home to run the family farm after his father’s death.

At the time, Carter’s younger brother Billy was just 16, but still envious that his brother would manage the business he had expected to control. Billy became, over time, a beerswilling, gas-station-owning, Libya-dealing thorn-in-the-side for President Carter. In his memoirs, Carter would write that Billy was the only member of his family to suffer because of his presidency.

Although Carter never mentioned Billy specifically in the lesson, he made it clear that he had struggled mightily in his own life as both a son and a brother.

He felt guilt, he said, that his own ambitions had possibly contributed to Billy’s embarrassments and demise. This presented an intensely personal moment in our encounter with Jimmy Carter, and for me, it offered a proud moment as an American and as a historian. To have the chance to feel close to a President in this setting, to see him bare his soul a little bit, was a unique experience. To share this moment with my students was invaluable. g Dr. Duke Richey '86 is the Howard H. Baker Jr. Chair of American History.

NAT IONAL CH A MP IONS McCallie’s personal finance team, consisting of seniors Alex Elsea, Jackson Houston, Jonathan Lau and John Moreton, defeated a squad from Missouri’s Hannibal High School in the finals to claim the National Finance Challenge Championship in St. Louis.

The correct answer to the win-clinching question “If inflation is higher than interest rates, what happens to the value of your savings?” was “they depreciate,” which was correctly answered by McCallie before defending-champion Hannibal.

The correct answer gave McCallie a two-point cushion, the national title and a $1,000 prize for each team member.

Twenty high school teams competed, each completing three rounds of written exams covering earning income and protecting and insuring, using credit and buying goods and services, saving and financial investing. McCallie and Hannibal were the top two teams from the early stages and competed one-on-one in a live question-and-answer session in quiz bowl format.

FA CULT Y Three faculty members will

move into new roles for the 2013-14 school year. Dr. Duke Richey ’86 will become McCallie’s second holder of the Howard H. Baker Jr. Chair of American History, and Randy Odle and David Mouron ’73 will begin their terms as department chairs for the history and science departments, respectively.

Dr. Michael Woodward, initial Baker Chair and history chair, and Cissy May, science chair, retired this spring.

Dr. Richey is a Sewanee alumnus with graduate degrees from the Universities of Montana and Colorado. Prior to returning to the Ridge, he served as a professor at the University of North Texas.

The Baker Chair was created in 1987 to celebrate Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr. ’43 and his numerous contributions to our nation. The chair-holder should possess an extensive knowledge of American history and government, be a dynamic teacher who inspires the best from his students, serve as a resource for the faculty and be an engaging speaker in the community.

Students worked on the construction of this house every Saturday for three months with other Habitat volunteers. Through involvement with the McCallie Habitat chapter, students gain experience laying floor, raising walls and a roof, mounting siding, painting, landscaping and fundraising.

“For our students to get an idea of the impact an organization like Habitat can have on a family is wonderful,” said Sumner McCallie, faculty sponsor for the McCallie Habitat chapter.

“Through hard work and compassion, these boys are making an authentic difference for these folks and changing their lives.”

“I am confident that Dr. Richey will build admirably on the strong tradition of excellence that Dr. Woodward has established,” said Headmaster Kirk Walker Jr. ’69.

Mr. Odle is in his 18th year at McCallie.

The Sewanee graduate currently teaches AP world history and AP European history.

He also serves as dormitory head for Hutcheson Hall and coaches JV soccer.

Mr. Mouron began his McCallie teaching career in 1995. The AP chemistry and AP physics teacher was named the Joseph B. Whitehead Educator of Distinction in 2003 and McCallie’s Keo-Kio Distinguished Teacher in 2008. g

Faculty Spotlight Bill Jamieson has taught English at McCallie since 1981. He also influenced students for 20 years as a dorm advisor in Belk and North Hutch and served as Junior School principal from 1984-96.

The funny thing, looking back on it now, is that I initially turned down McCallie.

I didn’t feel confident in my ability to teach English literature to anyone, much less juniors at a prestigious prep school. Thankfully Spencer was not offended, and a couple of days later, a new teaching proposal arrived – teaching ninth and 10th graders – and I accepted the job.

As an aside, after my first year at McCallie, I became the day admissions director as well as continuing to teach ninth- and 10th-grade English. As my main competitor for students was The Baylor School, I unearthed my turndown letter from them and framed it as a reminder of how ironic life can be at times.

Q

Q

What were the circumstances that brought you to McCallie to teach?

I had already taught three years of seventh-grade English at Memphis University School when I decided to go to grad school in Colorado. After grad school, I literally broadcast my resume to about 15 schools around the country. I included both Baylor and McCallie because I had worked in Mentone, Ala., for several summers so I knew the area pretty well.

Baylor had no openings that year, but McCallie had three. So I flew in one Friday from Denver and was picked up at the airport by Spencer McCallie '55 who made a favorable impression on me. I spent all Saturday interviewing and touring the campus.

About a week later, I got a letter letting me know I had a job teaching English literature to juniors if I wanted it.

What drew you to the education field?

Had I been required to answer this question at the beginning of my career, I wouldn’t have quite known what to say. Looking back on it now though, I was clearly influenced by the many great teachers I had experienced over the years. For two summers in high school, I worked as a lifeguard at the local pool and taught swim lessons. During my first two summers in college, I taught horseback riding at Alpine Camp in Mentone, Ala. I feel those early teaching experiences sealed the deal. I enjoyed watching someone learn how to do something and then revel in that new-found ability. In my sophomore year at LSU, I switched my major to English and decided to formally give teaching a try.

Q

What do you think makes McCallie unique?

The temptation is to say the powerful relationships that exist between students and

McCa llie m aga zine |

8

teachers. But that is not unique in and of itself, as I experienced that same kind of phenomenon at MUS. I think any good independent school will have that as one of its cornerstones. Because we are a boarding school, I suspect it may be more pronounced. And one cannot discount the camaraderie that is inherent in an all-boys school. I think those two sets of relationships exist in a wonderful symbiotic balance. And I’m not sure which feeds the other the most; whether it’s the trust and loyalty that develops among students that bleeds over into their relationships with faculty or the other way around. I just know that McCallie may be bigger now than when I first came, but the aspect of a student-teacher relationship has not changed.

Q

What has been your most rewarding moment in this profession?

I was probably most honored when I received the Houston Patterson ’43 Award for my work in the dorms. It was totally unexpected, as I frankly never much considered my dorm life work, and it made me appreciate all the more my role there.

But my rewards at McCallie have come in much smaller doses. It’s the occasional letter or email or Facebook note that makes my day now, or the check-in from a student that I haven’t seen in a while in the dining hall.

Teaching is the ultimate delayed gratification profession. One gets used to the fact that he never quite knows what, if anything, of value that he’s passed along to his students. In that real world that I’m always talking about with my students, it takes time for those kinds of appraisals to form and gel. I’m ok with that. In the book of Hebrews it says “now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.” I still have faith that what I do in my roles here has some value. And I will always appreciate McCallie for taking a chance on me, even if I didn’t want to teach English literature. g

Mission: REMISSION A big green wave overtook Chattanooga's North Shore and Riverfront area March 20 for the fight against cancer.

More than 1,400 McCallie and Girls Preparatory School students and faculty took a stand together in the fight against cancer March 20 and raised nearly $15,000 through the first-ever Mission: Remission.

Student Councils from both schools organized the event and spread the collected funds to a variety of charitable and research organizations.

“Almost everyone has had a loved one or an acquaintance affected by cancer,” McCallie Headmaster Kirk Walker ’69 said. “The students from both schools are compassionate and community-minded, and this project was successful in both raising funds and generating awareness for cancer.”

As a sign of solidarity and to raise awareness for the cause, the entire GPS student body and McCallie’s Upper School students trekked a 2.7-mile path leading from GPS toward Coolidge Park, across the Walnut Street Bridge, around the Tennessee Aquarium, up the twisting walkway toward Hunter Art Museum and back across the Bridge before returning to GPS. The walkers wore Army-fatigue green T-shirts with “GPS-McCallie – Mission: Remission” emblazoned on the front and back.

The season was highlighted by a three-game sweep of rival Baylor and a sweep of Father Ryan in the first round of the state playoffs. The Blue Tornado advanced to the state quarterfinals but was eliminated by Memphis University School.

Bowling The bowling team continued its success, rolling to a 15-2 record on the season. A 17-10 win over Webb in the sub-region tournament propelled the Blue Tornado to the state tournament. As the third seed from the East Region, the squad was eliminated in the quarterfinals by the West’s second seed and eventual runner-up Memphis University School.

Representing the school in the individual state tournament were seniors Aaron Speicher and Case White and sophomore Graham Leech who led the team in scoring average at 185.90 per game.

Junior Ramsay Ritchie placed fifth followed by fellow juniors Matthew Jones, Will Moore and Tommy Ellis in eighth, ninth and 10th respectively. The performance earned All-State accolades for the fivesome, the second such honor for Barnes, Ritchie and Ellis. The Blue Tornado also raced to first-place team finishes at the Chattanooga Cross Country Festival, the McCallie Invitational, the FrontRunner Championship and the Hoover (Ala.) Invitational.

Crew Under the new direction of first-year head coach Sean McCourt, the varsity crew rebuilt in 2013 to capture bronze medals at both the Dogwood Regatta and the Southeast Regional Championship.

Returning only one athlete from the 2012 varsity eight, the squad rowed to a 14-4 regular-season record. The novice crew's year was highlighted by a silver medal at the Dogwood and a bronze at the Southeast Regional 2012 State Cross Country Team Championship.

Football The 2012 football season marked the return of Head Coach Ralph Potter '81 to the sidelines. After a five-year absence, Coach Potter returned to lead the Blue Tornado program. His first year back resulted in a 5-6 record which included a trip to the second round of the state playoffs. The squad posted victories over Tyner, Father Ryan, Battle Ground Academy, Pope John Paul II and a 62-20 first-round playoff win over St. Benedict. Senior Julian Nunally earned All-State honors for his play on the defensive line. Junior Chad Toliver proved to be one of the top running backs in the area, and junior quarterback Nelson Johnston did an admirable job directing the offense. Senior Eric Wolf proved valuable on both sides of the ball.

second-place showings at the state and City Prep tournaments. The senior signed scholarship papers to continue his golf career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Lacrosse The lacrosse team forged another fabulous season but fell short of its goal of a state title. The Blue Tornado earned a 19-3 overall record; its only regular-season losses coming to nationally-ranked Calvert Hall from Baltimore, Md., and Lassiter from the Atlanta area. McCallie shut out Knoxville Catholic 16-0 in a first-round playoff match and ended Ensworth’s season 14-3 in the

quarterfinals before being knocked out 7-6 by Montgomery Bell Academy in the semifinals. Brier Davis, George Ehlers and Cam Linsley have signed scholarship papers to continue their careers at Hofstra, Cornell and Roanoke College respectively.

Soccer The soccer team rounded out the regular season with three wins and a tie en route to a 9-5-4 record. Highlighting the ledger

were wins over Battle Ground Academy, Brentwood Academy and Ensworth and a tie with Baylor. The playoffs began with a 4-0 victory over Briarcrest but were cut short after a 1-0 loss to Montgomery Bell Academy.

Swimming and Diving The swimming and diving team turned in one of the most exciting sporting events of the year with its 158-156 victory over Baylor.

While the Red Raiders secured most of the event’s first-place finishes, McCallie countered with many second through sixth spots to rack up team points. At the state meet, the Blue Tornado ranked 11th out of 40 teams and set 23 personal best times in 28 races. Senior Michael Howell followed up his state diving title from 2012 with a runner-up finish.

Tennis The tennis team qualified six players for the state tournament with strong play in the region tournament.

Senior Daniel Pare earned a secondplace finish in the region, and junior Luke Orthner was fifth. Also qualifying were the doubles teams of Aaron Speicher - Cody Gubin (second) and Turner Voges - Nick Wilson (fifth). The squad's season ended in the state semifinals to Memphis University School.

Track and Field The track team earned its 11th consecutive region championship and rolled to an undefeated dual meet record. The Blue Tornado won two prestigious meets during the season, the Fort Payne Invitational and the Chattanooga Optimist Invitational.

The season was capped by a second-place finish at the state meet. A nearrecord number of athletes qualified to compete at state, resulting in a large number of team points for the runner-up status. Two

Wrestling The wrestlers turned in an outstanding performance at the traditional state tournament with a third-place finish. Ten McCallie wrestlers earned spots on the medal stands with Adam Connell (132), Alex Elsea (120) and Nathan Hoodenpyle (182) winning state titles and Casey Cook (285) and James Westbrooks (113) finishing as runners-up. Also figuring in the medal count were Morgan Boyd (126), Addison Cornell (106), Griffin Davis (138), Calum McCroskey (170) and Trel Phillips (220).

He retired in 1990.

His son Mark ’73 came across a batch of letters Dean James had written to his mother and father while in school between 1941 and 1942. Included in the collection is a 1941 letter from Dr. William L. Pressly, English head, informing parents that students were required to write a letter home each Sunday night. The letter was to be submitted Monday, returned Tuesday with the teachers’ suggestions, then mailed.

“I want you to know that this is no attempt on our part to censor his mail; he may write as many other letters during the week as he likes and mail them himself,” Dr. Pressly’s letter says. “Our weekly letter does give us definite assurance that you hear from him once a week; but more than that, it gives your boy and you an opportunity to see his improvement in writing through the school year.”

Mark was kind enough to share these letters with McCallie Magazine, and the editor has selected several for these pages to provide a small glimpse of life at McCallie School in the early 1940s.

Jan. 8, 1941 The big news here is the snow! We had snow on Tuesday. It started snowing during drill period and we had our drill period cut short on account of it. It was coming down real fast.

at Guadalcanal

John E. Ramsay '34 painted this scene he eventually named "Thunder Head" on July 3, 1943 on Guadalcanal. The pilot in the portrait was preparing to take off for a patrol mission. He never returned.

The last anyone ever heard from 1st Lt. Herman Spoede was a radio call from his F4U Vought Corsair over the South Pacific Ocean on July 3, 1943.

First Lieutenant Spoede was a pilot with the

U.S. Marine Corps and a member of the VMF-213 Hellhawks squadron stationed at Guadalcanal, an island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and part of the British Solomon Islands. On an airborne combat patrol mission that day, the squadron encountered a fierce storm. Radio communication from the flight leader gave the order to return to base. The pilot did not receive the transmission. He never returned and was reported missing in action. He was declared dead a year later.

John Ramsay ’34 was a photo interpreter for the U.S. Navy also stationed at Guadalcanal. During some downtime that same day, Lt. Ramsay was near the Allied airstrip, Henderson Field, when he decided to sketch one of the Corsairs that was awaiting a mission. The plane’s pilot later climbed into the cockpit, and his image was included in Lt. Ramsay’s painting.

The artist planned on sharing the artwork with the pilot upon the mission’s completion, but the pilot and his plane never made it back.

Those are the only details Lt. Ramsay’s extended family knew of the painting. It survived World War II and later hung on the office walls of Mr. Ramsay’s Salisbury, N.C., home with another wartime piece.

“It was one of those public secrets,” says Kerr Ramsay, Mr. Ramsay’s grandson.

“My dad knew about it, my uncles knew.

That generation knew some details, but no one from my generation knew what it was about.”

Following the War, Mr. Ramsay founded his architecture firm. During a 50-year career, he became a prominent and renowned architect and a proponent of modern architecture.

“He didn’t talk much about the War,” says his son John Ramsay ’66, a two-year boarding student at McCallie who also became an architect. “That is pretty typical about ‘the Greatest Generation.’ The ones that saw a lot of the horror didn’t like to talk about it. My dad was very measured and guarded.”

Upon his death in 1991, Mr. Ramsay’s wife Anne downsized from their large, modern home to an apartment. The painting of the Corsair and the pilot was

left leaning against a wall with other household items. Recognizing that it had some family history, Kerr asked if he could hold on to it.

A television blurb about a Philadelphia exhibit displaying soldiers’ artwork caught his attention, and he determined that was a perfect way to honor his grandfather, Papa John.

The submission required a summary of the artwork, and Kerr began to conduct research about the painting. He used Google image search to compare World War II aircraft and came across a website maintained by Dan McAnarney devoted to the VMF-213 Hellhawks squadron stationed in Guadalcanal.

Kerr scoured the information on the site, learning about the strategic Guadalcanal location and battles, sifting through names and reading about flight records and missions that Mr. McAnarney had collected with meticulous care and detail. But it was a journal entry for July 3, 1943 that lit a lamp for him.

“Spoede – while in division returning from combat patrol in late evening – division ran into thunderhead and all planes were separated. No contacts with Spoede. Reported as missing.”

“Thunderhead” was the title Mr. Ramsay had given the painting.

“We had assumed the painting title was the name of the plane or the nickname of the pilot,” Kerr says.

“Suddenly it just clicked. This has got to be the guy.”

Kerr shared his findings with his father and uncles.

“Papa John wanted to give this painting to the pilot, and it’s not supposed to remain with our family,” Kerr explained. “I’ve got the name, and if y’all are up for it, I’d like to track him down and give it to his family.”

John is the war buff of the family, Kerr says, and he talked with Mr. McAnarney whose father-in-law was a member of the Hellhawks squadron.

He filled in the blanks about the missing pilot, 1st Lt. Herman Spoede.

From what he knew, says Mr. Ramsay, the Corsair radios were unreliable, and in the storm, the pilot did not receive the orders to return to base.

He later radioed in for coordinates and directions, but military protocol

did not allow that information to be transmitted over the radio for fear of interception.

Mr. McAnarney introduced the Ramsays to David Spoede, the nephew of the pilot, and the remarkable story of Herman Spoede and the painting was relayed to David and his family.

David’s father, Bob, was the lone survivor of the three Spoede brothers, all of whom served in World War II. He didn’t share the news with his father, choosing instead to surprise him.

It took a year’s worth of emails and telephone calls between the two families to coordinate a date when the painting could be presented to the Spoede family and to determine a proper and respectful presentation.

“We worked so long for this to happen,” Kerr says. “It felt so good to find a time to make this work for all of them.”

The lunch meeting took place July 30, 2011 at a large rectangular table in a private dining room at a resort in Irving, Texas. Bob Spoede was the guest of honor. John and Kerr Ramsay sat on either side of Bob and David Spoede, and they were joined by Mr. McAnarney. All three of Bob’s children traveled great distances with their families to be present for the reunion.

Mr. Ramsay showed Mr. Spoede wartime photographs and a photo of his father, John Ramsay Sr. He shared a picture of Herman Spoede in front of his airplane. Kerr had the honor of presenting Mr. Spoede with the original framed painting and announcing that the pilot depicted in the painting was Herman, Mr. Spoede’s brother.

Wrapped in brown paper, the painting was unveiled, and Mr. Spoede held in his hands a gift from one family to another nearly 70 years after it was intended to be delivered. “I’m in a state of shock,” Mr. Spoede said after receiving the painting. “This is a total surprise.”

“He was perfectly stoical in ‘the Greatest Generation’ style,” Kerr says. “He was confused why my uncle and I were at lunch with his family and why the local TV station had shown up and put a camera in his face. It was clear something was about to happen, but he had no idea.

“The coolest part for me was when he started telling stories about his brother. You could see him open up after we gave him the painting. His kids and grandkids hadn’t heard many of these stories about their uncle and great uncle or about himself. That generation doesn’t like to talk about what they did.”

With the mystery now solved and the circle completed, the painting is hanging in Mr. Spoede’s house in Texas. The two families still keep in touch. Kerr says they cherish the new friendship, and the Spoedes shared a recent Christmas dinner with the Ramsays in North Carolina.

“It felt good to complete my grand-father’s mission,” Kerr says.

“Our goal had never been to keep the painting. It is not closure for the Spoede family because we didn’t change anything, but it felt good for them to be able to share those stories and to know that someone was kind to their brother in the last moments of his life.” g

Duty to

Country

McCallie School had a military component as part of the curriculum from 1918 to 1970 and has always been proud of its military heritage. The tradition of duty to country by McCallie alumni continues with the later generations. Below are two different examples of McCallie Men serving their country.

“It hasn’t been that bad,” he says. “Going to college first and playing football really helped. My life was already regimented, and I enjoy having my day planned out. I prefer that. Time management is a key, and the rigorous football and academic schedule at Vanderbilt proved to be a big plus.

“McCallie helped me out 100 percent. My friends at the Academy and at Vanderbilt struggled with the work load. I am thankful to McCallie for preparing me. At McCallie, it is on you to figure out how you are going to get there. You learn to be responsible.”

Cadet Fullam is majoring in military history. When his Air Force career concludes, he says he hopes to realize another dream which is to return to McCallie to teach history.

McCallie graduates from the Class of 2013 receiving service academy appointments this year include Evan Loughlin, U.S. Air Force Academy and Eric Wolf, U.S. Naval Academy. g

Col. Steve Clift ’70 shared this email below with some of his classmates in 2011 while serving in the Middle East as an Army Reserve physician. A plastic surgeon by trade, he is now living in Tacoma, Wash. He served three tours of duty overseas in a medical capacity.

Jay Fullam ’09 gave up the glamour of playing Southeastern Conference football to chase another dream.

Since he was little, Jay says he always wanted to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. This summer, he will be returning to the picturesque campus in Colorado Springs, Colo., for his junior year.

Following graduation from McCallie, Jay accepted a football scholarship to Vanderbilt University and was a member of the football team for two seasons as well as a recruit in the ROTC program.

Despite all that, he still Cadet 2nd Class Jay Fullam ’09 felt unfulfilled.

“My grandfather was a fighter pilot and that played a part,” Cadet 2nd Class Fullam says. “I loved Vanderbilt and my teammates, but the ‘what-ifs’ kept popping up, and I didn’t want to think that I gave up on that dream too quickly. The stars aligned for me, and I jumped at the chance.”

He reported to basic training at the Academy on June 23, 2011, and after two years in school there, his desire to serve his country continues to increase.

“I want to fly,” he says. “My brother Haden ’07 is in flight school right now, and I want to follow in his footsteps as well as those of my two grandfathers, Wayne Fullam and Roger Ingvalson. I will find out my senior year what my job will be. I want to make this a full-time career, but time will tell.”

Our nation’s service academies are legendary for rigorous academic expectations and an extremely regimented lifestyle. Cadet Fullam’s experiences at Vanderbilt and McCallie had him well prepared for the stringent military requirements at the Academy.

Col. Steve Clift ’70 at Patton Army Airfield in Kuwait.

“I am getting settled into the rhythm here. Up at 0500 to walk or lift weights. I walk 12 minutes to the mess hall for breakfast and then back to the room to get ready for work.

I get to work about 0800 and see patients etc. until lunch at 1130. I walk or ride to the mess hall. Then I see walk-in patients till about 1630.

I walk to supper and back any time from 1730 to 1930. I get in at least an hour of walking just going from my trailer to the mess hall and or gym.

I hang out in my trailer, surf the Internet, do some reading or watch the History Channel until bed time at 2100. Sometimes in the evening, if it is not too windy, we smoke a cigar.

On Tuesdays the schedule changes a little. I get up at 0430, eat something in my room and head down to the flight line to catch a helo flight to another base to do flight physicals. We have lunch there and fly back to our base in the early afternoon. Then the afternoon routine starts over.

Several times a week, I fly on missions as a crew member. Most of these are in country, although several went to Iraq or out to U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf.” g

The Scholar

and the Gentleman

Please forgive Charles Lloyd ’53 for going above and beyond any and all expectations McCallie School might have of him.

Peter Kim '13 (left), Charles Lloyd '53 (right)

Mr. Lloyd endowed the Lloyd Scholarship

Fund in 1991. His monetary generosity allows a boarding or day student the opportunity to attend McCallie School when it is otherwise not possible by family means alone. Six boys have benefitted from this scholarship. The most recent, Peter Kim, graduated May 19.

But this opportunity offers more than a top-notch education and the support of the McCallie community. The recipient also acquires a friend, a confidant, a connection, a counselor, a mentor.

“When a boy is a Lloyd Scholar, he also gets Charles Lloyd,” says Anne Pitts, McCallie’s Director of Reunion Gifts.

Mr. Lloyd’s late wife was so impressed with McCallie at his 30th class reunion that she suggested to Charles that they donate a year’s tuition to the school. Following her death in 1990, Mr. Lloyd decided to honor her wishes but take them a step further, initiating the Lloyd Scholar program.

McCallie administrators select the recipient based on need. Mr. Lloyd’s lone stipulation is that McCallie award it to a worthy student.

“I asked if I could come and meet the boy and describe the scholarship to him,” Mr. Lloyd says. “The name ‘Lloyd’ on it is

not me. It describes the people who are honored by it.

“I also went to class with him. I want to confirm that McCallie is really doing what I expect it to do with this money. In the classroom, you can see the passion that these teachers have for their subject. It doesn’t matter what the subject is.”

Peter and his family left Korea for the United States when he was two years old, his parents Hwang Nam and Doo Na hoping to create a better life for themselves and their children. A pastor at a Methodist church in North Georgia, Mr. Kim and his wife raised Peter and his three siblings in a one-room apartment.

Despite the hardships, Peter applied for McCallie, was selected as the Lloyd Scholar prior to sixth grade, and proved to be one of the top campus leaders and scholars among the Class of 2013.

“My parents came to the U.S. with a dream,” he says. “The American Dream. It’s been real. We’ve had so many struggles with the language and finances. They wanted to find the best opportunities this nation can offer and make sure we receive the best education in the world.

“This has been an incredible blessing and brings so much hope that we can succeed in this nation. All this would not have been possible without the help of Mr. Lloyd.”

Peter and Mr. Lloyd did not meet until Peter’s eighth-grade year. Since then, theirs has been a unique relationship; that of mentor and mentee. They often trade emails discussing the McCallie experience and life lessons. When asked, Mr. Lloyd has provided advice, recommended books and offered career guidance.

They both share a love of McCallie, although each walked a different path in school. Admittedly, Mr. Lloyd was an average student, but he appreciated what he calls McCallie’s “caring teachers,” particularly Chalmers McIlwaine ’21 who taught him Algebra II.

Mr. Lloyd earned a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and enjoyed a successful career in aeronautics. Officially retired, he still works as a pilot and a real estate investor.

Peter says he loved his ethics class with Rev. Ed Snow and AP U.S. history with Dr. Michael Woodward. He will attend Pomona College this fall because of its similarities to McCallie – small class sizes, the relationships, learning for the sake of learning. While Mr. Lloyd suggested premedicine for Peter, his early plans are to major in philosophy, politics and economics with a goal, he says, of understanding what it is to be human.

“I believe in the mission of building boys into men,” he says. “Mr. Lloyd’s guidance and advice allowed me to explore that thinking and what I would become. The lessons I learned here and the idea of living honorably I will never take for granted.”

Peter is the second Lloyd Scholar Mr. Lloyd has seen graduate.

“With graduation approaching, I said I would like to come and celebrate,” Mr. Lloyd says. “I have a lot of respect for the Kims. Peter is truly a unique and gifted boy and comes from a unique circumstance. It was important for me to be there.

“The family could not have been more grateful for the help. I tried to downplay it and say that Peter is such a worthy boy. He deserves this. He will represent McCallie well wherever he goes.”

Peter has the desire to pay forward the generosity he has received and to one day be in a position to help boys that might be in similar circumstances. Mr. Lloyd, whose own McCallie experiences led him to give back, says he has no doubts Peter will achieve greatness and have the means to start his own scholarship program one day.

“Giving money to worthy McCallie students is basically payback in some ways for all the people who helped me get to where I am today,” he says. g

“A Taste for the Wild, Canada’s Maritimes” chronicles the scenic beauty and peaceful people of New Brunswick and the eastern provinces of Canada. Mr. Sobotta and his wife lived in the area in the 1970s and 1980s, and a recent return trip sparked the idea for this book. He also offers travel advice to those wishing to visit Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Gill Autrey ’64 has published a book of stories and reflections called “Gone with the Tides and Other Southern Stories.” A former mayor of Valdosta, Ga., Mr. Autrey is now a boat captain in Apalachicola, Fla. Photos taken by his wife Lane accompany some of the stories.

Project Liftoff

We have liftoff! The photo shows the exciting culmination of physics teacher Michael Lowry’s six-week unit called Lift Off. Students in the class explore the science, engineering and history of aeronautics and rocketry. The students design a rocket using a hefty class E9-4 engine that can propel the models to nearly 1,000 feet in the air. Each rocket contains an egg astronaut that must return to Earth safely and undamaged.

In this photo, freshman day student Corey McDonald (second from the right) mans the controls for his successful launch and recovery.
