member who also happens to be a champion sailor, a coding phenom who developed technology to help the deaf community communicate more equitably, and a philanthropic teen who created a fundraising event to benefit Alzheimer’s research.

But it’s important to note that these kids are far from singular. Each one is a multifaceted combination of interests and triumphs— philanthropic, academic, athletic and artistic.

We know you’ll be just as impressed as we were when you read their stories.

At a time when the news of the day can range from dismal and divisive to absurd and trivial, it is a pleasure to meet kids like these—young people who take their place in the world seriously and understand the importance of perseverance and empathy.

It’s heartening to imagine what they will become. It’s certainly not a question of whether they will change the world. It’s simply a matter of how they will do it.

We can’t wait to find out.

hile our annual Ten Teens to Watch feature has become one of my favorite recurring stories that we run, truth be told, it also tends to make me feel, well, rather inadequate.

The accomplishments that these kids have achieved in their young lives is enough to make even Bill Gates question his teen years.

Every summer we comb through the nominations, and one is more outstanding than the next. It’s always a struggle to narrow it down to just ten. But narrow it down we do.

Among the trailblazers in our 2021 “class” are an aspiring astronaut, a rising star of the big and small screens, a future surgeon who was influenced by the doctors and nurses that cared for her terminally ill father, an empath focused on de-stigmatizing mental illness, a budding economist with her sights set on becoming a Wall Street CFO or perhaps the chair of the Federal Reserve, and a first-year West Point cadet passionate about serving her country. And that’s just the girls.

The boys, too, certainly hold their own: a talented linguist who has not only taught languages but developed a curriculum to master Portuguese, a National Honor Society

SEPTEMBER 2021 / DONNA MOFFLY

I reported this to my father … and he sent the FBI to school to investigate her.

t’s a new school year, a good time to reflect on what our teachers mean to us.

Long long ago, I was a “lifer” (K-12) at Hathaway Brown School in Cleveland— starting in kindergarten when I chose H.B. over Laurel, the rival girls’ school, because it had a bigger dollhouse. Like everybody else, I had my favorite teachers and my not-so's, but they taught me sundry skills well beyond academics.

Some examples: BEING UNDERSTANDING—During one rest period in first grade, for a change of pace I carefully spread my blanket under a doubledecker trolley of Mason jars full of paint for art class. Except I woke up, sat up, knocked the thing over and made a giant multicolored mess. I was grief-stricken, but Miss Van Houghton was all comfort and forgiveness— something to remember, especially when I had children. Accidents do happen.

MAKING DECISIONS—When it came time to choose what to learn next, my piano teacher Mrs. Schneider would play three pieces and let me decide. No, no, definitely not that pizzicato, I told her at age seven, because “it sounded like a beetle peeing on a leaf.” I was more the “Malaguena” type.

I loved having a voice in my own destiny.

ESCAPING REALITY—In upper school Miss Thompson, a frazzled French teacher, greenwichmag.com

was always rushing around looking for somebody. She snagged me before class one morning and breathlessly asked, “Have you seen Donna Clegg?” “Yes,” I answered, pointing down the hall. “She went that way.”

And off the poor soul went in hot pursuit of— me! I’d learned how to be an artful dodger.

SHARING STORIES—Then there was Miss Cleveland (yup, her real name), a wonderful old English teacher from whom I learned the magic of storytelling—probably the reason I still love my job today. Every so often she’d come out of retirement to tell us tales from Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad. We were spellbound.

ACCEPTING OTHERS—From our chemistry teacher Mrs. Kerti, I became intrigued with other cultures. After escaping from Germany during World War II, she’d found a job teaching at a girls’ school in Turkey—a real challenge.

To get a grip on what they already knew, she’d ask them things like, “Do you know what H2O means?” Though clueless, they’d all say yes, because it was considered impolite to say no.

Weird, fascinating and wonderful.

KEEPING A LID ON—Probably trying to get our attention, our Latin teacher Miss Blake said that “there ought to be a war in this country” so we’d appreciate what the Romans had to go through. Hmm. I reported this to my father, an exec with TRW, a company that supplied the defense industry, and he sent the

FBI to school to investigate her. Me and my big mouth. I dropped Latin senior year.

FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS—Our upper school English teacher was just plain scary— tough and a stickler for rules. Miss Bruce should’ve been a college professor. When she asked us to write 800 words about something we were familiar with, for some mad reason I wrote about a guy escaping from a Nazi concentration camp. I still remember her announcing for all to hear: “D for the day, Clegg!” Now I’m a stickler about assignments— and have given plenty of them. (As an aside: When I was an editor of our yearbook, I had to call her one weekend over a pressing matter, except I was staying at a friend’s house. “Sure,” said my hostess. “You can use Bobo’s phone.”

With fear and trepidation, I dialed. What I didn’t know was that her grandfather was deaf as a post and my “friend” had turned the volume up full blast. So when Miss Bruce bellowed “HELLO!!!”, my heart stood still.)

Miss Van Houghton was all comfort and forgiveness— something to remember, especially when I had children.

NEGOTIATING SUCCESSFULLY— Tradition had it that seniors gave parties for their classmates, and six of us had banded together to give a dance at the Union Club.

Miss Coburn, the headmistress, called me into her office and said the granddaughter of the chairman of the board would be in town and asked if she could be invited. I’d met the girl, liked her and said we’d be delighted to have

her join us if we could make a deal. When we went out to lunch on Fridays (a senior privilege), we wanted to be able to wear lipstick and loafers instead of tied shoes. Shocked, Miss Coburn called my mother. “Do you know the stunt Donna just pulled?” “That’s not my problem,” Mother told her. “YOU deal with Donna.” We got lipstick and loafers, and the young lady had a lovely time.

For sure I learned more than academics from my teachers, but on at least one occasion, I think I taught them something, too—how to change a tire. Senior year we were allowed to bring cars to school, and one day I had a flat right by the main entrance. Fortunately, after we Clegg kids got our drivers’ licenses, Dad had insisted we take tire-changing lessons at the company garage, so I was prepared—and drew quite an audience.

Anyway, here’s to our wonderful teachers and, thanks to them, all the “extras” that we can take with us for a lifetime. G

KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK BASEBALL LEGEND HIDEKI MATSUI TALKS SPORTS,

CULTURE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF NURTURING THE PROMISING YOUNG GLOBAL LEADERS OF TOMORROW

MATSUI 55 BASEBALL FOUNDATION

D

uring a professional baseball career that spanned twenty seasons, Hideki Matsui attained superstar status, first in his native Japan and then in Major League Baseball, where he played seven memorable seasons for the New York Yankees. Along the way, he earned the nickname “Godzilla” for his ability to launch rockets from the batter’s box. He also charmed many Bronx Bombers fans with his uniquely humble charisma.

Since his retirement from baseball, Matsui continues to make his home in this area and stay connected to the sport he loves. In 2018, at the age of forty-three, he was the youngest player to be inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. He’s also worked as a roving instructor/ mentor for up-and-coming Yankees.

On September 20, Matsui will help host the second Annual Champion A Champion Golf Classic at the Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich.

The tournament will benefit his foundation, Matsui 55 Baseball, as well as the Global Citizens Initiative, a Greenwich-based nonprofit that identifies youth leaders from around the world and mentors them in global services projects while promoting cross-cultural dialogue and understanding.

Participants in the tournament include many notables from the world of professional sports and feature a fireside dinner chat between former Yankees and Mets managers Joe Torre and Bobby Valentine. At press time, legendary sports broadcaster Bob Costas was expected to join as the moderator.

In anticipation of the tournament, Matsui sat down to chat alongside Yumi Kuwana, president and founder of Global Citizens Initiative and his personal friend. Although Matsui speaks English, he prefers to use a translator when speaking to the press. Yumi served as his translator.

z ub GREENWICH MAGAZINE: YOU RETIRED FROM THE MLB IN 2013, AND FOR A TIME YOU WERE WORKING FOR THE YANKEES AS A ROVING BATTING INSTRUCTOR FOR MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS. ARE YOU STILL DOING THAT? HIDEKI MATSUI: I continued to be

an advisor up until the end of last year, but then because of Covid I’ve been taking a break. But it was something I truly enjoyed. I found the work very meaningful. It was the first time, after I retired, that I got really involved in coaching. I was able to personally learn things from the experience, but to see the players grow and develop was what I truly liked most.

GM: WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTINUE? HM: I’m thinking about it—

assessing the situation holistically and deciding what’s next. I want to be respectful of the Yankees, too. They need to think about it as well and decide if it’s right for the organization.

Matsui at youth baseball clinics in Japan (above) and Brooklyn (below) HM: Baseball has had such a

positive impact throughout my whole life. It’s a great sport and I want to share it and hope more kids will play it. And no matter what your personal circumstances are, you should have access to this sport and have the joy and experience of playing it. I can’t follow up with every single child who participates, but seeing them enjoy the fun of baseball, for even a day, is just really great.

HM: I can enjoy more privacy here

and live with my family in a normal way, where I can continue to have a certain kind of privacy. If I live in Japan, I have to do so with all the media and things that come with being a public figure. Here, I can enjoy my family time. It’s just easier, and I can have quality of life.

GM: IS THE JAPANESE MEDIA EVEN MORE INTRUSIVE THAN THE NEW YORK PRESS? HM: It’s not even the media, really.

It’s just a different level of fame I have to deal with on a daily basis in Japan, where I’m more recognized and always being asked for autographs and pictures.

There, I can’t even walk down the street. Here, it’s different. I think fewer people notice me. Even if they do notice, they don’t bother me as much. It’s just less intrusive, and so I can relax a bit more.

this way, I think you can inspire other people to do good, too; and then, ultimately, you can help more people. I think that’s the most important reason to do it and always the goal.

GM: WHEN YOU PLAYED FOR THE OAKLAND A’S, YOU RAISED A LOT OF MONEY IN SUPPORT OF JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI RELIEF. HAVE YOU ALWAYS USED YOUR PLATFORM FOR PHILANTHROPY? HM: It’s just the right and natural

thing to do. If you can use your position to help and improve the lives of people, especially when they’re hurting or in trouble or having a hard time, I think you should. By using your platform in

z ub have to agree, but understanding the other person’s perspective is so important to having mutual understanding. The world is just more and more interconnected, and it’s important to have this ability to listen and understand one another.

GM: THE MLB IS VERY DIVERSE. HOW DID PLAYING BASEBALL INFORM YOUR OWN CROSSCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE?

“If you can use your position to help and improve the lives of people, especially when they’re hurting or in trouble or having a hard time, I think you should.”

HM: That’s interesting because

Japanese baseball is very diverse, too. There were a lot of players who came to Japan to play from other countries; and so, for a long time, I was the person receiving them. Here, I came to play baseball, and suddenly I was the foreigner and being received in a new place. That experience helped me understand, from both perspectives, how difficult that experience can be and also how personally beneficial and rewarding it can be. It really grew my empathy and helped me see things from the perspective of others.

GM: YOU’RE A FATHER NOW, AND WE’RE CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON YOUTH SPORTS. THERE SEEMS TO BE INCREASING PRESSURE ON YOUNG ATHLETES, ESPECIALLY IN THIS AREA, TO SPECIALIZE IN SPORTS AT EARLIER AND EARLIER AGES. IS THAT A GOOD OR BAD THING?

HM: As a kid I focused on judo and GM: WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CHILDREN TO PLAY BASEBALL? HM: If they are passionate

baseball and then, just baseball.

The Japanese way is to really focus quite narrowly on one thing.

I don’t know if that’s the right way—and it may be becoming more the American way, too— but I think the focus should be on nurturing the love of something.

The first question a parent should ask about their child and any sport is, “Do they like it?” The next question is, “Are they passionate about it?” And the third thing is, “Is this something they want to really work hard at?” You have to have all those things to be successful at any sport, even with natural talent.

HEAD OF THE CLASS

TWO GREENWICH MOMS LEAD A SMALL BUT MIGHTY GROUP THAT LENDS A HAND TO HARD-WORKING KIDS Catherine Holden and Juliet Schnur

T

his summer the Greenwich Scholarship Association mailed checks totaling more than $500,000 to colleges and universities around the country to help defray the tuition of more than 125 local students.

For close to fifty years the local nonprofit has been relying on a dedicated team of payit-forward minded volunteers to connect deserving local high schoolers with financial need to college scholarships, many of them funded by local civic groups and families.

Much of the behind-the-scenes work is done by an all-volunteer team led by GSA’s copresidents Juliet Schnur and Catherine Holden, themselves the moms of school-age children.

The duo brings a strong personal commitment to the nonprofit’s legacy of delivering dollars to some of the town’s most deserving scholars.

Catherine’s mother, Dr. Marie J. Hertzig, along with William Dylewsky, helped launch the GSA and build the all-volunteer organization from the ground up with just $80,000 in donated seed money. Marie retired last year.

“We all operate with my mother’s philosophy that college can be a really transformative thing, especially for students who grow up in less-than-ideal circumstances,” says Catherine.

“The overall theme is that we’re going for the underdogs,” explains Juliet. “There’s that subset of kids who are really amazing and get a full ride somewhere, but there’s another group of kids—also outstanding—that just don’t get that kind of opportunity. The majority of the

kids who get our scholarships are going to state schools, because that’s what they can afford.

And sometimes, even that’s a stretch. This is where we try to come in.”

As another school year kicks off, Juliet and Catherine share what it takes to help kids make it to campus.

THE PROCESS Getting a GSA scholarship requires an A for effort. The nonprofit requires a detailed application similar to the Common App required for admissions to most colleges and universities. GSA volunteers also dive into students’ financial-aid forms. Next comes an interview with a GSA volunteer. “In other words, we ask a lot from them,” says Juliet.

After the initial vetting, Catherine leads an elaborate process matching qualified students with “just right” scholarships. Criteria range from grades to their commitment to public service, the sports they play or other noteworthy details in their backgrounds. “It’s like a giant puzzle where we try to figure out who fits where,” she explains.

Of the 200 or so applicants GSA considers each year, about 125 receive some kind of award, many in excess of $10,000.

In a few cases, where students demonstrate great financial need, the GSA has pitched in with college essentials like laptop computers. “We’ve gone to the Apple Store and then dropped them off at students’ homes,” says Juliet. “It’s not a

greenwichmag.com

34

common thing, but for some kids we take that approach because that’s what they need.”

THE SCHOLARSHIPS The list of awards in the GSA’s scholarship vault reads like a voluminous course catalog.

While it distributes scholarships sponsored by organizations such as the Red Cross, the Greenwich Women’s Club and The First Selectmen’s Youth Commission, many have been funded as posthumous memorials by local families as well as Greenwich-based neighborhood, professional and athletic associations. Some require sky high GPAs, while others are tied to students pursuing specific fields of study or some distinct defining trait.

“It can be something like this is for a student studying graphic design or French or in recognition of a sport they played,” Catherine explains. “Or it can be a scholarship that’s specifically targeted toward a student who has overcome something significant in their life.”

HOW TO HELP The GSA team doesn’t fundraise in a throw-agala kind of way. “We’re just stretched too thin to do that,” Juliet says. Instead, its volunteers rely on the generosity of donors who endow—and sometimes do their own fundraising—for scholarships.

Volunteers can also get involved by signing on to conduct scholarship interviews. “It can be really rewarding to be involved that way,” says Juliet. greenwichscholarshipassociation.org

by Xcel Brands in 2014, the company has not opened a new store in ten years. For its fresh design concept at The Westchester, inspiration came from modern gallery spaces, where white walls provide a clean backdrop for the case pieces and statement contemporary lighting allows for maximum sparkle. And sparkle, they do. Set throughout the store are Ripka’s signature collections and watches, featuring a mix of precious gems, mother of pearl and a heavy dose of metals. A rotating exhibition will lend to the gallery feel—fine art photographer Laurent Elie Badessi’s work is currently on display—with art and objects available for purchase alongside the jewels. Xcel Chairman and CEO Bob D’Loren hopes to appeal to the local community’s “artistic flair and appreciation for luxury, both of which we are delighted to be a part of,” he says. judithripka.com

ost of us probably associate Alzheimer’s disease with memory loss and possibly confusion and anger. But less common symptoms such as the loss of spatial reasoning—the inability to recognize or find familiar objects that are in plain sight—can also signal the presence of the disease and its variants.

“That’s when you’ve lived in the same house for 30 years but suddenly, you’re

confusing which light switch does what,” says Dr. Carolyn Fredericks, M.D., assistant professor of neurology at Yale. “Or you look in the fridge for the orange juice, and even though it’s right in front of you, you can’t pick it out from the crowd of other objects.”

Dr. Fredericks has a special interest in looking at the less-common types of Alzheimer’s, where the prominent signs may be mistaken for dementia or may lie in greenwichmag.com

“completely different realms of thinking,” she says. The danger is that they are masking the onset of the fatal disease, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

She and her colleagues in the Fredericks Lab, a research facility on the Yale University campus, are using advanced neuroimaging technology to understand how variant strains of Alzheimer’s spreads across networks in the brain.

FIVE EARLY SIGNS Some memory loss can be normal as we age. But here are some of the red flags when Alzheimer’s might be suspected

Disruptive memory loss—when daily life or tasks are too tough to handle because you consistently forget recently learned information.

Challenges in planning or problem solving—you take much longer to complete a task that you’ve done before or can’t keep track of your monthly bills.

Difficulty completing familiar tasks—you have trouble driving to a local grocery store and remembering where it is.

Confused about time or place— forgetting where you are or how you got there.

New problems with words in speaking or writing—repeating the same phrase over and over or struggling with vocabulary.

The hope is that their work will result in earlier identification of the illness, more precise monitoring for future drug studies, and identification of targets for direct treatments particularly for patients with atypical variants of Alzheimer’s disease.

Meanwhile, in her clinical practice, Dr. Fredericks sees patients with a variety of cognitive and behavioral issues and concerns.

During an initial visit, Dr. Fredericks asks detailed questions around a patient’s medical history and does cognitive testing to test memory, language, attention, and spatial functions. She also conducts a neurological exam that checks a range of abilities, including a patient’s motor system, reflexes, and coordination.

“I get a deep satisfaction from walking through the treatment process with a family, offering resources and medications that can help the patient feel better, even though it won’t make the illness go away,” she says. “Of course, I love it when I’m able to reverse a SEPTEMBER 2021 GREENWICH

process for someone. Sometimes, we will learn that a patient’s thyroid is not working well or that they have an autoimmune condition we can treat. Those kinds of catches are amazing to be a part of.”

The Connecticut resident graduated from Brown with a BA in the Classics and a BS in Neuroscience before going on to the Stanford University School of Medicine. In April, Dr. Fredericks was named a Henry F. McCance Yale Scholar, recognizing her as an outstanding young faculty member, granting her funding for research. She also recieved a $175,000 research grant from the Alzheimer’s Association.

Alzheimer’s and its variants do more harm than rob memory or spatial reasoning. They are also usually fatal. Now, death rates from the progressive disease, for which there is no cure, are on the rise: something Fredericks and others are working to stem.

“Research is the path forward with this disease,” says Ginny Hanbridge, Executive Director of the Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. “We are so honored and proud to have so many dedicated scientists in Connecticut, including Dr. Fredericks, working to get us closer to new treatments and hopefully a cure for this disease.”

Alzheimer's Association is the largest nonprofit funding research in the world, currently providing $235 million to more than 650 active research projects in 39 countries, including $2 million in research in Connecticut.

MUSIC TO OUR EARS THE CHAMBER PLAYERS CELEBRATE FIFTY YEARS OF BRINGING BEAUTIFUL CONCERTS TO OUR LOCAL ART SCENE

Greenwich Symphony and offered the Chamber Players support and encouragement. She describes the group as “superb musicians, unique in their personality and liveliness.”

As the group grew, it garnered great reviews. Greenwich Time music critic John Sweeney wrote: “The Chamber Players emerged as a brilliant band of virtuosi.”

He characterized the musicians’ performances as “flawless, graceful, poetic, intense, intriguing, agile—a knockout.”

“A strong component of their musicianship is the obvious camaraderie of the group. It suffuses these performances,” wrote another Greenwich Time reviewer, Marion White, “and shows their professionalism, dedication to their music and generosity in sharing their gifts with others.”

Throughout the years the Chamber Players have given concerts in partnership with the Bruce Museum, Cos Cob Library, First Congregational Church of Old Greenwich, Alliance Française, Edgehill Retirement Community and Greenwich Library. In 1990 it helped the town of Greenwich celebrate its 350th anniversary by presenting a program of works by composers William Schuman, Myron Fink, Arthur Kelley, Quinto Maganini, Rob Mathes, Constance Walton and Alec Templeton, all of whom had ties to Greenwich.

Guest artists often join the group, and during the past fifty years it has amassed a cumulative repertoire of over 350 works.

In 2001, the Chamber Players separated from the Greenwich Symphony, taking the name The Chamber Players of the Greenwich Symphony, with its own board of directors and responsibility for its funding. It maintains close ties with the Symphony, and the two organizations continue to promote each other’s concerts and cooperate in numerous ways.

The pandemic forced the cancellation of many of the 2020–2021 season’s concerts.

But to the joy of the musicians and a small audience—all masked— the group was able to perform two live concerts in April 2021 as well as virtual concerts, which can be heard on its website and on YouTube.

“We have an amazing team of musicians under the skilled leadership of Artistic Director Danny Miller. Not only talented musicians, they are also knowledgeable and creative programmers who know how to keep audiences interested by introducing music they may not have heard before—witness our recent focus on women composers,” says president, Christine Boies. “I love to hear our guest artists, like Min Xiao-Fen,

who introduced us to the pipa instrument and to the sounds and rhythms of Eastern music traditions, and Michael Ibrahim, who on his saxophone brought Darius Milhaud’s Scaramouche alive. We heard Wayne DuMaine, a spirited trumpeter with a repertoire reaching from the early eighteenth-century composer Johann Friederich Fasch to twentieth-century masters like George Gershwin and Bohuslav Martinu. Musical highlights for me are when our Chamber Players play pieces that transport me and make me forget the troubles of the world, and I can honestly say that I have such moments at every one of our concerts. “

The Chamber Players give four pairs of concerts, performed on Sunday afternoons at Round Hill Community Church and on Monday evenings at either the Greenwich Arts Council or the Historical Society of Greenwich. For information on the opening concerts on Sunday, Oct. 10, and Monday, Oct. 11, the upcoming season and the fiftieth anniversary celebration in June, visit chamberplayersofthegso.org.

Vincent Lionti, son of founding member Victor Lionti (viola), recalled the Chamber Players’ first rehearsal. “I was about ten at the time. I was with my father and Dorothy Happel, Helen Law [violins] and Gretchen Belknap [cello], and we all went next door to a neighbor’s house because she had a good piano. They were working on the Fauré Quartet in C Minor. John Nelson was the pianist. He was music director of the Greenwich Philharmonia at the time. They were all very excited about it.”

“Vinnie” joined the Chamber Players from time to time as a guest artist. He was a member of the viola section of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1986 until his death in 2020.

The group began that first season in 1971 with a three-concert series on Sunday afternoons at the Greenwich Library, and were soon performing at several Greenwich Churches and in nearby communities. In 1983, Mary Radcliffe became president of the

GETTING THERE

The Florida Keys are made up of 1,700 coral isles that curl from the south Florida peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico. Key Largo is the first island on the arrow-thin Overseas Highway.

It’s also the largest.

Hop a flight to Miami, rent a car, and it’s a short one-hour drive to Key Largo.

As cheesy T-shirt shops and tacky roadside bars float

past your window, you might think we are leading you astray with promises of Caribbean luxury.

Turning into Playa Largo Resort and Spa from Highway One is like finding a vintage Chanel bag at Goodwill. Sorry Florida, you know we’re right on this one. “The Keys” often get lumped together and painted with a singular Jimmy Buffet brush.

THE RESORT

Stretched over fourteen acres of pristine white sand on the shores of the Florida Bay, Playa Largo has resorts within the resort.

For honeymooners or couples who just really like each other, there are The Hammocks. The cheerily painted bungalows are hidden from the hustle of the main resort in the shade of literal Florida Hammocks (trees). Each of the ten cottages features

a master bedroom encompassing the entire second floor, lookout decks, full kitchens, living rooms and secluded back porches.

The hotel has 177 rooms decorated in a contemporary style and blessedly free of kitschy oceanfront décor, and outfitted with $400 illy coffee makers.

For the ultimate retreat or destination wedding, there’s The Beach House.

It is on the far end of the resort beach and has a private

pool overlooking the ocean, wrap-around deck, private beach and event lawn. With three bedrooms, endless lanai seating and hammocks strung from the branches of the waterfront sea grape trees, it’s no wonder The Beach House is already booked every weekend for the next year.

Hotel room rates start at $400 per night. The Hammocks at $900 per night. The Beach House $3,500 per night.

If you want to bring

the entire family or your entourage, book one of the brand-new Ocean Residences by Playa Largo. These luxury homes are across the street on the Atlantic side of the island (that’s how narrow Key Largo is), offering both privacy and full service.

(Note: You can’t walk from the homes to the resort, but it’s only a two-minute drive.) Each of the five homes feature private balconies, soaking tubs in sprawling master suites, full indoor and

outdoor kitchens.

Guests of the Ocean Residences have exclusive access to the oceanfront pool, all resort amenities and the clubhouse located at the tip of the community at the watersports pier.

The clubhouse offers lockers, showers and a full lounge— making it easy to enjoy beach activities from kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing,

parasailing and more without needing to drive back “home” to shower and change.

Every stay includes a picnic basket of breakfast goodies delivered every morning with additional options to pre-stock the fridge or invite a private chef to handle dinners.

The homes sleep ten and start at $1,800 per night.

go The real stars of the show are the expanse of talcum white sand and warm waters.

Choose from a chaise lounge shaded by the beachfront trees or one of the many pods of hammocks. The Florida Bay is a shallow lagoon that connects the Gulf of Mexico with the western side of the Keys. Grab a floatie and drift on the still water until you hear the bell that’s rung daily to warn that sunset is just thirty minutes away. Take a spot at one of the two fire pits, sip a sunset cocktail and enjoy the resort’s Eventide Celebration. The staff lights tiki torches as Caribbean drumbeats fill the air. Guests are offered cocktails and asked to write their worries/stresses on a piece of paper that’s placed on a floating buoy and set off to sea. We couldn’t find paper big enough for our worries, so we just went for the cocktail portion of the evening.

THE POOL The zero-entry pool with arched gazebo is designed for envyinducing Instagram posts. The Sand Bar services the pool and beach with food and cocktails. It’s not often that we rave about the culinary offerings of a beach bar, but the Sand Bar is exceptional.

Try the gluten-free pizza that actually tastes like pizza and the watermelon salad drizzled with basalmic reduction.

THE SPA The largest spa in the Keys, The Ocean Spa offers a variety of treatments using locally sourced ingredients for scrubs, wraps and more. But

the most important factor in evaluating a spa, in our opinion, is the ability to enjoy a post-massage nap.

So the expansive relaxation area with double-wide chaise lounges separated from other guests by whisper thin curtains had us hooked.

SETTING SAIL The highlight of a stay at Playa Largo is getting out on the water with Captain Lolly who commands the mighty Carolina Moon catamaran. Ok, it’s not all that mighty, but with Captain Lolly at the helm, it’s an amazing amount of fun. You can book day trips, sunset trips and champagne trips. The water is as warm as the south Caribbean, the champagne is cold, and Lolly is a gifted photographer who loves nothing more than to send you home with amazing memories of your time in Key Largo. Book through Caribbean Watersports under the pier at the end of the beach. caribbeanwatersports .com

EXPLORING THE REEFS Surrounded by crystal blue water and thriving reefs, Key Largo is a hot spot for diving. Here you’ll find the only living barrier reef off the continental United States. The area is also known for its remarkable wreck diving. You’ll find the world's largest artificial reef, the 510-foot USS Spiegel Grove (deliberately sunk to create a reef) and more.

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was established in 1963 and is the first under-the-sea park in

the U.S. Here you can swim with the coral fish and high five the underwater 4,000pound Christ of the Deep (sometimes called Christ of the Abyss), a bronze statue by Italian sculptor Guido Galletti submerged about twenty-five feet under water. The Jesus effigy is robed and barnacled, with arms outstretched and gaze raised to the light above. Though he’s covered in dangerous fire coral, he’s been high-fived frequently enough that it’s been worn off his hands, making it safe for you to do the same.

Brides have the option to feel like a mermaid with Playa Largo’s underwater weddings. Couples say “I do” amongst the shallow-water corals, shipwrecks and hidden treasures of the Keys.

To anchor their love, they can sponsor the planting of a coral reef fragment that will remain and continue to grow over the years.

BEST BITES The best food in the area is at Chef Michaels in nearby Islamorada. Anyone who’s seen the moodily atmospheric Netflix series Bloodline, set around a family-run Islamorada beachfront inn, knows the territory. Chef Michaels is a roadside treasure deserving of a Michelin star.

Reservations are a must. Order the lion fish cooked whole. Not only is it delectable, you’re helping to save the ocean by removing a dangerous predator. foodtotalkabout.com On your way back to the resort stop at The Islamorada Brewery & Distillery located at mile marker 82.2 with a bright yellow-andteal-colored tasting

t first glance Hinoki bears a notable family resemblance to her elegant older sister Miku Sushi, a few blocks up the Avenue. Both restaurants owned by K Dong feature excellent sushi, creative entrees, splurgeworthy cocktails and a solid sake list. But Hinoki quickly reveals herself as the downtown girl—a bubbly, social younger sister.

This izakaya (Japanese pub) sports an interior

that feels lounge-y and primed for nightlife with club music playing and a dedicated space in front for a DJ. As you walk in, the glam backlit bar takes center stage, and giant sequined mosaic artwork adds a disco-ball effect. On the menu: plates designed for sharing, a spin on Asian tapas with dim sum in the mix, making this a go-to place for cocktails and bites as well as a full meal.

When we went for dinner on a recent Saturday night, the staff—already serving a packed house— was tasked with an extra challenge. A thunderstorm hit right as we arrived, so all the patio tables had to be reseated. We were brought to our inside table promptly and observed the servers gliding around to accommodate everyone. Watching the well-coordinated team in action was a positive harbinger of what was to come.

Because the menu stars small plates and sushi, you can order piecemeal, and dishes will be brought out a few at a time for sharing. In short order we were sipping sake and beer, and diving into the yellowtail jalapeno—layers of the silver-skinned fish and hot peppers topped with a dollop of caviar, plated with yuzu sauce.

A signature app with some wow factor, the Himalayan tuna with olive, avocado and truffles is served on a large block of pink salt; it’s delicious but needs to be eaten fairly quickly or it will absorb too much salt. For those who like uni (sea urchin), the uni foie gras toast affords an extra indulgence with a decadent smearing of foie gras to complement the uni’s unusual briny taste. We enjoyed the fragrant and tender “soup” dumplings, but the small dish I’m still craving is the nori tacos. Each order consists of two mini

tacos nestled into a carved wooden tray. The nori seaweed casing is grilled and seasoned, so it’s tasty on its own; and the fillings we tried (toro caviar and Wagyu beef) were both excellent. I can picture a nori-taco happy hour in our future.

In addition to the apps, we sampled several signature entrées. Truffle rice hot pot with king crab is a creamy, rich comfort food—an Asian take on risotto laced with a subtle truffle flavor, not overdone. Very tasty miso black cod is marinated in sake and then grilled, plated in a miso sauce with a side of grilled fennel. To treat yourself to lobster without all the work, try the gingerscallion lobster, which is already cracked and cut so you can easily fork out the claw and crab meat; it’s paired with tender bok choy. For sushi lovers, there’s an extensive menu that almost rivals the selection at Miku.

greenwichmag.com

For his restaurant group, which also includes Kumo in Scarsdale, K has a dedicated team focused on sourcing the best quality fish from around the globe. That was evident in each piece of sushi we tried. The melt-in-your-mouth fish is topped with tiny garnishes that the chef selects such as truffle, gold leaf and caviar. At another meal here, a lunch outside, we tried the Geisha and Passion sushi rolls and would order both again.

The place was still buzzing with activity that Saturday night when we left around nine, passing the packed bar. And the party scene is about to get even more lively, as K is in the process of expanding Hinoki, taking over the space that housed the OGGI 5 clothing store. Along with the larger space, plans this fall call for black-out brunches, dim-sum brunches and regular DJ nights. Can Hinoki Karaoke be far behind?

HONORS FASHION

Roadie Couture My daughter likes the kind of sweatshirt she won’t see everyone wearing on campus.

Enter Roadie Couture.

This online shop also hosts pop-up shops at locations such at Lester’s in Ryebrook, the Westchester Mall and other spots in the tri-state area. Follow its Instagram for the latest trends in college merch and to find out where it will pop up next with its unique one-of-a-kind college swag—from jean jackets to fun flannels.

The website is scheduled to be live this fall. In the meantime, you can find trunk show locations and items for sale on the company’s Instagram and Facebook pages. roadiecouture.com

NOT THE GEAR YOU REMEMBER

Hype and Vice

Whether you’re looking for a school logo on a tennis

skirt or a bandana top, Hype and Vice has a lot of what kids are wearing on campus. Try not to cringe, Moms, but tailgate culture has changed and that college bandana is no longer for her hair. Brace yourself for college-themed tube tops, cut-off shirts and body suits.

But all is not lost.

There are also puffer jackets and sweats. hypeandvice.com

I am a fan of textures, so I love embroidery. If your school of choice can be simply abbreviated— think BC, UNC or UVA—check out ShopOandC. It uses unique daisy-flowerstyle embroidery for the college logo letters. $75

of embroidery thread colors to create a one-ofa-kind item. For example, send your favorite University of Georgia fan a black sweater with a red embroidered “Go Dawgs” or any school name or slogan.

Or go for the custom travel set, including an embroidered cashmere blanket, socks and eye mask and pouch for $425.

Smathers and Branson A lot of custom college gear is aimed at women, but my college go-to shop for all things needlepointed, Smathers and Branson, offers embroidered men’s belts for a number of schools for $175.

Looking for something smaller and unique, consider sending your student off with a collegiate luggage tag ($35) or key fob ($32.50 with an additional $15 monogram fee to add initials to the back).

his month we’re debuting a new partnership with our friends at Greenwich Moms, a great resource for parents in town. Layla Liwsiewski, Greenwich mom of four and founder of Greenwich Moms and its parent company, The Local Moms Network, will be sharing her favorite things to do each month, from seasonal activities to can’t-miss events. @greenwich_moms and greenwichmoms.com GRTA is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and promoting open space, historic trails and the tradition of horseback riding for our community and future generations.

A Day in the Country is presented by the Greenwich Riding and Trails Association. The

Nothing says fall in New England like apple picking. Some of our favorite nearby spots are Silverman’s Farm in Easton (where you can feed farm animals), Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard in North Salem, New York (which hosts a weekend fall festival with bouncy castles, hard cider and more), and Outhouse Orchards also in North Salem (in addition, enjoy the corn maze, hayrides and pumpkin picking).

o, it’s not your imagination: The cost of college has skyrocketed over the past decade, greater than inflation, higher than your raise, faster than the cost of living. At the University of Connecticut, for example, tuition is in the middle of a five-year, 23 percent rate hike.

Sending Junior to Storrs costs about $18,500 per year for tuition and fees. Sending him to a private university averages about twice that, at $37,000, according to the

FIND A WAY

When paying for college seems out of reach

START SAVING EARLY TO PAY FOR COLLEGE

College Board. Tack on another $13,000 or so for room and board at either option.

Covid-19 has served as a reckoning for soaring school costs, says David Tuttle, partner and portfolio manager at Crestwood Advisors in Darien. During the pandemic, as schools offered courses virtually, many families wondered, “Why can’t people just learn online? Why do you need to go to college?” Tuttle says.

Schools took note. Though tuition edged up for the academic year 2020-2021, it did so at historically low levels. Still, the price tag remains out of reach for many Fairfield County families.

“The profile of Fairfield County is that all the families can afford to self-pay,” Tuttle says. “The reality is that there are kids even in Darien, New Canaan and Greenwich that’s not the case for. They have a tremendous burden and pressure to follow the normal path of going to college.”

His advice: Start saving early.

“When kids are born, we’re encouraging parents to set up

529 plans.” Designed specifically for education, 529s let you invest in mutual funds, ETFs and the like, but your investments grow tax-free, so long as you use the proceeds for approved education expenses, such as tuition, books, room and board. Unlike many other tax-saving investments, 529s don’t come with income constraints.

Connecticut’s 529 plan, the Connecticut Higher Education Trust (CHET), is more attractive than ever, says Tuttle. Last December, the state selected Fidelity to administer it, lowering fees and expanding investment options. Connecticut parents can contribute up to $10,000 per year to CHET; earnings grow free of federal and state taxes. “You can contribute $50,000 today, pay your tuition tomorrow, and take $10,000 each year for five years,” he says. “I have had clients maximize the tax benefit in-state to get the maximum, and then invest outside.”

If the designated beneficiary decides to forgo college, you can

transfer the account without penalty to another family member —even yourself—so long as it’s used for qualified education expenses.

Families don’t need a lot of money to set up a college fund.

Tuttle’s dad and grandfather each invested $500 into a Putnam Growth Fund when Tuttle was born, then started showing him the balance when he was ten years old and had his first job cutting lawns. “This money tripled in ten or twelve years, and here I was cutting lawns.”

As soon as your child is eligible, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which determines whether you qualify for government aid.

Complete it even if you won’t qualify for need-based aid. Many schools grant merit-aid, based on grades, test scores or talents in things like sports, music and the arts. The average award for undergraduates in 2019-2020 was $14,940, according to the College Board. Without completing the FAFSA, you won’t get anything.

If you will need more aid than offered, write an email of appeal to the school financial aid office, outlining factors like reduced salary at work, a lay-off, a sibling attending graduate school or a bigger package from a comparable school. Get your appeal in early, Tuttle says. When schools exhaust their aid resources, there’s not much they can do for you.

Also, Tuttle advises some of Fairfield County’s wealthiest families, but he also mentors kids who live in subsidized housing in Darien. “There’s an opportunity for kids with drive to find a way to get to the finish line and pay little or nothing,” he says. “There are non-traditional paths that are a jungle gym. It requires real planning.” Attending two years of Norwalk Community College or Housatonic Community College, for example, can shave tens of thousands of dollars off of a four-year college tab. The same holds for dozens of online, accredited schools. To lower the cost even further, get a job at Chipotle, Starbucks, Walmart or any number of other employers that pay or reimburse for college, even for part-time employees.

n what played out like an episode of Friends, Erin and Teddy we were set up by mutual friends. As it so happened, the pair didn’t only live in the West Village; they lived in the same building—directly across the hall from each other.

Their relationship blossomed, and they became engaged two years later.

Teddy proposed over Labor Day weekend on the patio of Westchester Country Club, where his parents had had their wedding reception. Moments later family and friends appeared with champagne, followed by a celebration party at Rye Grill and Bar. Due to Covid, the couple pushed their wedding date around a few times but ultimately decided to change course and flew with immediate family down to St. John for an intimate ceremony. Three weeks later the party continued with a reception at Riverside Yacht Club.

The bride, daughter of Randy and Diane Keleher of Stamford, graduated from Greenwich High School and the University of New Hampshire. Erin is the East Coast advertising sales director for The Knot Worldwide in New York.

The groom, son of Edward Perley and the late Ellen Perley of Harrison, New York, graduated from Iona Prep and Colgate University. Teddy is the vice president at CAC Specialty in New York.

The newlyweds honeymooned on St. Martin and Anguilla. They call Rye home. G greenwichmag.com

Every September for the past thirteen years,

greenwich

magazine has had the pleasure of showcasing ten of our town’s most impressive teens. And every September, we say the same thing: This year’s crop is extraordinary. Six have graduated from high school and have embarked on their freshman year at several of the country’s most elite colleges and universities, including the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The rest are poised to graduate within the next two years.

As in the past, our teens represent a diverse crosssection of interests and passions from engineering, coding and artificial intelligence to psychology, acting and languages. One wants to be an astronaut. Another envisions a career in the entertainment industry (she’s already made four feature films and starred in several TV shows), while still another has his eyes set on sailing for the United States in the 2028 Olympics. No matter their personal hopes and dreams, each has dedicated time to paying it forward within the community—from raising money for Alzheimer’s research to organizing clothing drives to helping younger kids master the basics of English and Spanish.

The one thing they all have in common? They are part of a generation of high schoolers whose lives were interrupted by a global pandemic. From that experience they learned a valuable lesson: Nothing in life is guaranteed. Persistence, resilience and perseverance are the character traits that served them well as they adapted and adjusted to a new normal. Wise, funny, smart, ambitious and driven, these kids dream big.

They believe in themselves as agents of change. They are poised to do remarkable things. No matter how dire the state of the world feels at any given moment, we are always a little more confident about the future once we’ve put this issue to bed.

When you meet this year’s teens, we think you’ll understand why. greenwichmag.com

TESSA LOVERRO

Her avocation for psychology was spurred by watching her peers experiencing depression and anxiety in tenth grade. “I think in our area especially, there can be a lot of stressors, with academics and appearance and sports and arts,” she says. A doer by nature, she asked the school psychologist how she could help them. He introduced her to cognitive behavioral psychology and the way it restructures rational thinking.

She threw herself into learning as much as she could about CBT and different ways of coping with stress.

She used her newfound knowledge to co-found Rising Tides, which sends out weekly articles to the school community, in its efforts to reduce the stigma of mental illness.

This summer, to advance her knowledge of a variety of therapies, Tessa did a five-week internship at the Waverly Group in Greenwich.

For the seventeen-year-old,

studying psychology has been illuminating. “It has helped me get to know myself and what’s realistic to expect of myself and how I can get things done.” Balance is key, she says. “I’m realistic. I know I’m supposed to have a lot on my plate.

I like to be busy.” An accomplished dancer, Tessa joined the school’s fledgling field hockey team and was named co-captain this past year. “I hadn’t played much of team sports. But I loved the idea of a team, and I threw myself into it.”

She applies this same work ethic to everything she does— from working with kids at Building One Community to advocating for her peers. “I like the idea that I’m helping someone by giving them tools and a little knowledge.”

Along the way Tessa has learned an important lesson. “If you’re feeling sad, anxious or lonely, one of the best ways to combat that is to help other people.”

ompassionate, empathetic, determined and driven.

These are just some of the words that best describe Tessa Loverro, a rising senior at Greenwich Country Day School. She is the co-founder of the psychology club, Rising Tides; captain of the field hockey team, former president of the junior class, a founding member of the school’s Honor Board and a longtime volunteer at the Stamfordbased Building One Community.

Somehow, she still manages to maintain an impressive academic record and a deep interest in everything she tackles. Last year that included an independent study of twentieth-century history and a junior thesis focused on the Intersection of Nutrition, Psychology and Neuroscience: The effect of food on the brain, gut and mental health.

“My love of learning was definitely passed on by my family,” she says. “We have always had rich discussions at the dinner table, which instilled in me a curiosity for the world at a young age.”

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

I would tell myself that I don’t need to figure everything out right away. I don’t need to know what my deepest passions are or have the next three years of high school planned out. I would tell myself just to explore different areas, let my interests unfold naturally and just to trust myself.

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

I’ve had such incredible, impactful teachers that I can’t give you one over the other. However, in the last year, the three who have had an especially strong impact on me have been my math teacher, Ms. Iversen; my English teacher, Mrs. Waller; and my history independent study teacher, Dr. Cullen.

Ms. Iversen pushed me to stretch myself in math and showed me how to excel. She believed in me, and I was able to find a sense of confidence in my math capabilities that I never had before.

I’ve had Mrs. Waller as an English teacher for three years— one year in middle school and two years in high school—and I have her again next year. She has always been so supportive of me and someone I’ve always been able to go to since middle school. This year, she saw how passionate I was about English and the analysis of literature, and she helped me to think of literature in different ways.

I worked with Dr. Cullen on my History independent study, and it was so transformative learning from someone who is so incredibly knowledgeable and such a talented writer. He set high expectations for me and challenged me to produce highquality work. He invested time to build the independent study tailored around my interests and to meet with me throughout the semester, outside of teaching his normal larger tenth grade classes.

I really appreciate the time and effort he put into teaching me. »

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

To persevere. Perseverance is a combination of determination and strength. There were nights I went to bed at 3 a.m. and woke up at 5:30 a.m. to study for a test or prepare for an audition. I have learned that I may not do well on every test, and I may not get every job; but no matter what, I put in my best effort. Ultimately, when I do my best, I will more than likely exceed my expectations. I would tell my freshman self that the feeling of a positive outcome supersedes the strenuous feeling in reaching it.

ASHLEY AUFDERHEIDE Greenwich Academy ᾿23

A

shley Aufderheide lives a star-studded life. At just sixteen, the rising junior has walked the red carpet at the Sundance Film Festival, made four feature films, and acted alongside such household names as Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Matthew Goode (of The Crown). It’s been a whirlwind, but Ashley takes it all in stride, balancing her work and her studies like the pro she is.

“I love the entertainment industry,” she says. “It’s what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

Ashley was two years old when a stranger came up to her mother in New York City and said, “Your daughter should be a model.” He was right. She signed with the Ford Modeling Agency, and her career

was launched. After shooting numerous print campaigns and commercials for brands such as Ralph Lauren and Gap, Ashley was ready for a bigger stage. “As a first-grader I don’t know how I knew all this, but I did,” she says. At seven, Ashley was cast in the indie film, Infinitely Polar Bear, opposite Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana. She recalls the first time she met her famous cast members. “I didn’t know who they were,” she admits.

“I don’t get super starstruck. I love them as people. They become like your family. They helped me become a better actor.”

Following recurring guest appearances on The Preacher and The Slap, last year Ashley played a lead in ABC’s sci-fi series Emergence. She also played the character of Smash in the 2020 family fantasy adventure film Four Kids and It, starring Paula Patton, Matthew Goode and Russell Brand.

“When I was auditioning for the

role, the director sent me the link to the big mechanical arm that was going to help me ‘fly’; and I was like, I’ll be so devastated if I don’t get this role.’”

But acting isn't her only outsideof-school activity. She is an ambassador for Breast Cancer Alliance and has done promotional videos for the organization. In school, she manages a demanding AP course load, which reflects her broad range of academic interests, has worked on the school magazine Daedalus, and runs varsity track and field and plays soccer and varsity water polo. Ashley says she finds a parallel between acting and sports.

“In both, you have to work together as a team. For acting, everyone is working together to build something and make it succeed. In athletics, you’re working together to be the best you can be, and community bonding and teamwork is really important.”

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

To really appreciate school.

I realized how fortunate I am to be at Greenwich Academy, where I have been since kindergarten; I’m comforted by the familiarity of the same students and teachers.

Fortunately, during Covid I was able to continue attending school and not have remote learning during any of my sophomore year. GA has been so dedicated to keeping us safe, which allowed us to stay in school. It helped me realize how lucky I am and how much school means to me. »

JILLIAN AUFDERHEIDE

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

Freshman year, I was shooting an ABC series called Emergence, so I was rarely in school. I missed almost the entire first semester, and when Covid hit, the second half of the second semester was remote.

Ms. Norrgard was my honors biology teacher, and her class was cumulative and difficult. She always encouraged me and believed that I didn’t have to sacrifice acting to excel in her class and vice versa.

When my grades in her class were dropping, rather than advising me to take an easier course, she put effort into helping me improve and making sure I was feeling secure in both my acting and in school.

With her guidance, not only did my grades improve, but ultimately I was placed into honors chemistry for my sophomore year.

CHRIS TELLA

Greenwich High School ᾿21

C

hris Tella was a toddler when he first started racing sailboats with his dad.

“He was sailing Cape Cod Mercurys out of the Old Greenwich Yacht Club; it would be 2 p.m. and it would be nap time, and he would pack an extra life jacket so I could sleep,” Chris recalls. He was hooked. At seven he joined the Indian Harbor racing program (his brother Gray joined the next

year). The duo shot up the ranks quickly, winning successive club championships. They moved to the junior racing program at Riverside, where they dominated the field for years. Chris attended his first Olympic development camp in 2018, when he was a sophomore.

That was a turning point, moving him a little closer to his dream of sailing in the 2028 Olympics. “The only way to get better in sailing, or in any sport really, is to compete against people as good as or better than you,” he says.

Now a freshman at the College of Charleston, the top sailing school in the country, Chris’s drive to excel in all areas is paramount.

He spent years as a competitive ski racer and most recently was captain of the high school’s varsity ski team. In 2019, Chris qualified for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association U19 Eastern Finals in slalom and giant slalom. That year, the high school ski team was second in the state. He also captained the varsity sailing team.

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

Do not put too much stress on yourself, because being happy is way more important for your wellbeing. Mental health is important throughout high school. Do things you enjoy and find what makes you happy.

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

My freshman year English teacher Mr. Godwin. While I do not like English at all, Mr. Godwin would always have the class chat about the worldly views from literature, which he always referred to as “the big picture.” The line that resonates with me most was when Mr. Godwin was giving me feedback on one of my answers in front of the class and said, “I see where you’re coming from, but I’m looking for the bigger picture.” This was early on during my freshman year, and I had thought this was

greenwichmag.com

82

the best way of thinking ever.

Mr. Godwin and I continued to keep up throughout my high school years. I would keep him updated on my endeavors and ask for his advice. Mr. Godwin was more than just a teacher; he’s also a mentor on how to pursue happiness through thinking the right way.

What’s the greatest challenge you have overcome?

This is a tough question, because there have been a lot of challenges I’ve faced; but I don’t like to label one specific challenge as the “greatest,” because I've found it’s important to focus on what’s within your control. A lot of the challenges I’ve faced have either been from an accident, such as my broken left femur while skiing, or challenges that were caused by things out of my control, such as Covid. My point is that a lot of the challenges we face are brought on by things we have zero control over, so it’s important to approach every challenge with the same mindset: Do my absolute best to succeed in what is within my control.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I realized the importance of selfreflection. With all that time at home, I found that the best way to self-reflect is to look at yourself from the outside. Take on the perspective of someone else looking at you and think: Is that how I want to go about decisionmaking throughout life? It makes you look at your choices from a different angle, allowing you to identify how to improve decisions in order to achieve your goals. »

PORTRAIT: MELANIE VERNAL; SAILING: DUNCAN WILFRED

In 2019, the team placed sixth in the New England Sailing Association Team Racing Championship.

“We had a rough first day, but we ended on a really good note, and beat Brunswick, which is really satisfying.” In 2020, the team placed fourth. As an academic, the National Honor Society member excelled across disciplines, winning achievement awards in Chemistry, Italian, Geometry and Algebra II. But sailing is his first love. Then came the Covid curve ball. “2020 was a disappointing year for our sailing campaign,” he says. “We were supposed to go the 29er Class World Championships in Great Britain.” He quickly become skilled at turning lemons into lemonade. “If we’re not on the water at least five days a week, we start to go crazy,” he says.

“During Covid that was tough.

We had a fallen apple tree in our backyard, and one day Gray had tied a rope to his trapeze harness and I was sitting behind him, and we pretended we were sailing; but really, we were sitting on a tree.

We were just trying to find a way to make the most of the situation.”

onny Citron is rarely at a loss for words. Not surprising, given that he speaks five languages fluently, including English.

Now a freshman at Brown, Jonny immersed himself in the Spanish and Arabic curriculums at Brunswick and spent his summers teaching himself Portuguese and Italian.

Senior year, he tackled AP Italian and advanced NEWL Arabic, as well as an independent study in Portuguese. He says language is a way to express himself and to connect with those around him.

“Language is culture, and culture is connecting to other people. I love connecting to other people. I’m

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

Studying Arabic for six years with Ms. Melkonian has been a profound experience. Her ceaseless patience while teaching vocabulary and grammar help her students master Arabic and French, but her lessons reach far beyond the classroom. She sees her students in their entirety and challenges them to reach their potential.

extremely extroverted. People just make me happy.”

Jonny first discovered his facility for languages when he took Spanish in fifth grade and soon thereafter went down what he calls “the language rabbit hole.” He spent hours studying vocabulary cards and watching YouTube and Netflix shows, minus the subtitles, and even put his phone in Spanish.

“It forces you to do this natural passive learning that kind of happens for people who aren’t native speakers.”

For last year’s independent study project, he wanted to create a way to study Portuguese as if he were a native Spanish speaker.

He designed a nineteen-unit curriculum, each with a themed vocabulary list, grammar concepts and active and passive skills. “I call it the Jonny Citron method,” he says.

Along with his gifts as a linguist, Jonny has many interests—both athletic and academic. One of the scholastic highlights came in 2019, when he received a full scholarship to a summer program at King’s

Academy in Jordan to study Arabic.

He was president of Brunswick’s Arabic Club junior and senior year, was inducted into the Cum Laude Society, managed a clothing drive for immigrants from the Middle East, was involved in Diversity in Action and last year was president of the Men of Brunswick choir, the school’s a capella group. Most recently he played Jesus Christ in the school's production of Godspell.

“It was meant to be,” he says.

“J.C. My initials. And that was so much fun. Spoiler alert: I was crucified. That was less fun.” He is also an accomplished athlete who ran varsity cross-country and track. When the spring season got canceled due to Covid, he decided to branch out of his comfort zone and give sailing a try. “One of my best friends is going to Brown, and he has sailed his whole life. It’s his languages, his passion.” So, Jonny decided to give it a go. “It’s very freeing. I thought it was a lot of fun learning all the parts of the boat. In many ways it’s like learning a new language.”

What is the greatest challenge you have overcome?

Time is an unrelenting challenge I face and continually strive to overcome. I feel most fulfilled and self-assured when I embrace the present. Reflecting on the past and setting goals for the future help personal growth, but scrutinizing what was or perhaps will be can be distracting from what is important.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I cannot say this was the senior year I had imagined.

While uncertainty is not always comfortable, the unforeseen challenges of this year led to otherwise unattainable growth.

It is a great habit to make plans and work toward goals, but for me, Covid has driven home the vitality of being able to reassess, recalibrate and embrace change. »

Labels are tempting because they entertain a false sense of security and identity. Avoid the trap of considering yourself in terms of any singular, simplistic label. Putting yourself in a box academically, athletically, personally, etc. encourages complacency and limits future opportunities.

utumn Kim learned early on how quickly life can change.

She was ten when her father died unexpectedly of a brain infection. “My mom had to go back to work, and my sister became the head of the household. I spent a lot of time alone in my room, and I had to learn how to entertain myself.” She also spent a lot of time learning on her own, a skill that came in handy when she got to high school, where she tapped into a passion for science research and working with children—as

greenwichmag.com

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

Even if you fail, all you need is the confidence to come back stronger. In my freshman year, I was constantly anxious about the future, and it made it hard to appreciate the present. If I knew that how you recover is more important, and believed in myself to always figure it out, I think that I would have appreciated a lot more moments throughout high school.

Who had been your most impactful teacher?

Mr. Bramante, the research teacher.

The program is unique because it is project-based; and the individual nature fuels students to really become immersed in their project by reading articles outside of the classroom and learning by trial and error. He helped foster my love for science and how it can be applied in so many different ways, especially when listening to my peers’ research, too.

What’s the greatest challenge you have overcome?

After my dad passed away, my family and I felt like we lost someone to lean on. My mom worked for the first time in a few decades, and my sister sacrificed her twenties to help my mom and me. I often felt that I didn’t know how to help as a ten-year-old. Finding ways to be more comfortable at home and at school taught me how to seek and appreciate opportunities. Whether it’s learning how to cook to help my family, learning how to play the violin online or engaging in research at school, I learned that exploring what you want to do without the fear of others’ opinions is crucial.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

Covid showed me how we’re more similar than we think. People came to help one another with errands, food, and simply just talking to others made people feel connected.

It taught me the power of being kind and going that extra step to make people feel heard and seen. »

a volunteer, a tutor and camp counselor. Now a freshman at Washington University, where she earned a four-year scholarship, Autumn is pursuing her dream of becoming a pediatric surgeon.

“Watching my father in the intensive care unit was really scary,” she says. “But I also got to see how the nurses and doctors worked together. They are the only people who can help a family feel better during really hard times.

If I can do that for kids, that’s my ultimate goal.”

Autumn’s strengths as an academic are paramount.

Throughout her time at Greenwich High School, she carried a full load of AP and Honors classes, earning numerous awards and accolades along the way. As a junior, she designed a science research project to develop a device that would detect meningitis in the brain. (That project was put on hold due to Covid.) This past year, she pivoted to the environment and was rewarded with second place in the International Science and Engineering Fair for Environmental Engineering for her work on developing an eco-friendly and economical way to clean up oil spills.

She also found time to give back to her school and community.

As captain of the sixty-member varsity fencing team, she mentored younger students and organized team events. As co-president of the Korean Club, she introduced newcomers to Korean culture.

She co-founded Helping Paws, which raised awareness about pet cancer, sang with a chamber music group, was a peer mentor and a member of the Names Day Team, which seeks to educate incoming freshman about the deleterious effects of bullying.

One of her most memorable volunteer experiences was at Greenwich Hospital, the summer before her junior year. “Everyone else was in the maternity ward, and here I was sorting clothes.

I was disappointed at first,” she says. “The crazy thing is, I learned so much from the women there.

That just taught me that even though it’s cool to see doctors and nurses running around, it was also cool to see how these ladies connected to the patients in a different way. It was very illuminating.”

I would tell my freshman self not to take myself too seriously and embrace failure and making mistakes in life. Take more risks. hats during his time at Brunswick.

Now a freshman at Stanford, it’s no surprise he considers time management one of greatest skills.

“Good time management is the only way to structure one’s life. If you can’t organize your time, you won’t be able to organize your thoughts or your actions,” he says.

Ali put that skill to good use in the summer of 2020, when he and his science research partner collaborated with a Harvard Ph.D. and a research scientist at Google Research to create an armband that translates American sign language into the written word. “We wanted to create a more equitable system of communication for the deaf community,” he says. “The sleeve uses muscle sensors and pulses to translate sign language into code, as well as an artificial intelligence (AI) application to deepen the learning.”

In the classroom, Ali is an academic powerhouse whose slate of courses last year included AP European History,

AP Statistics, Advanced Honors Computer Science and Honors Math Multivariable Calculus. His computer science projects earned him first place in the Connecticut State Science Fair in both 2019 and 2020. For the last, his project involved building a novel neural network architecture that analyzed satellite images of rivers in Africa and used them to predict droughts and ways to mitigate the effects in low-income regions.

Born and raised into a family of academics (Ali’s parents emigrated from Egypt to study in the U.S.), he traces his interest in computers from an early age. “I’ve always been curious about the world,” he says. “In fourth grade I fell in love with computers and building things. Coding is basically just building blocks for whatever you want to do.”

Taking a break this past summer, he and two friends started an odd-job service— everything from car washing to gardening and dog sitting. “It was

What’s the greatest challenge you have overcome?

Getting over my laziness with running—I was unable to motivate myself to run on my own and with a team. I got over this challenge with the support of my coaches and teammates.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I learned more about myself and how to overcome adversity by constantly trying new things and not being afraid to make mistakes.

I’d never done gardening before, and now I know how to plant a tree and detail a car.” Which is not to say he stopped advocating for the causes he believes in. He started a podcast stemming from his work with Diversity in Action, and he has a YouTube channel where he teaches math and science.

“Learning all about everything I possibly can is something I’m really interested in,” he says. “My long-term goal is to help the more marginalized people in the world that don’t have access to what we have. In Egypt some people don’t have the opportunities that we do here. And I don’t want to take that for granted.”

Now a freshman at Dartmouth, she dreams about funneling her passion for science and engineering into achieving her goal of becoming an astronaut. “I’m so lucky to have found something that clicks for me. I can’t even find the words. It’s so motivating and rewarding.”

As a sophomore, she joined the school’s science research program and began conducting research on the effect that simulated Martian soil has on plant growth.

“People have been thinking about growing food on Mars, and my hypothesis led me to believe there would be some growth; but that it actually happened was insane,” she says. For her efforts, she won the Naval Science Award at the CT STEM fair in 2019, as well as the Geology/Historic Project of Merit Award at the 2020 CT Science and Engineering Fair.

Piper pushed the envelope in other ways, too. In addition to being a gifted linguist (as a senior she won the excellence in Spanish award), she volunteered as a teaching assistant at the Don Bosco Early Childhood Bilingual program, co-captained the Speech and Debate Club, co-captained the varsity softball team, and took several starring turns as a member of the theater program.

“My parents used to call me the participatory pup,” she says.

“I’ve always felt strongly that you should do whatever you want to do.” For Piper that includes public speaking—a skill that came in handy as class salutatorian. “I love to talk, I love to perform, and I love to express myself. More than that I love people and it’s the most direct way for me to connect with them.”

E

ver since she was a little girl, Nicole Roer has been enthralled by economics.

“My dad would have CNBC on or Squawk Box in the morning, and I was absolutely glued to the TV,” she recalls.

“There was something about the graphs of the markets and the green and red numbers.

Half the time I didn’t understand, but I couldn’t not watch it.”

As a freshman, she joined the Viking Investment Partners, the school’s investment club, as one of a handful of female members.

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

Learn to value mistakes more than successes, because when you make a mistake you have an opportunity to learn from it more than you would have if you succeeded the first time around.

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

My U.S. History teacher Ms. Ackley. Her class allowed me to dig deeper into complex issues within our country’s present and past and express my opinions on complicated and often divisive issues that have faced our country since its founding. She encouraged respectful debate and critical thinking that has been invaluable to me as I craft arguments while respecting the opinions of others.

What’s the greatest challenge you have overcome?

I had a particularly difficult time with the jump from middle school to high school, and it challenged me to adjust my learning style and studying habits. I have been able to find the techniques and strategies that allow me to learn best. I know that my ability to adapt and settle into strategies that worked well for me during high school will be beneficial in my transition to college.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I was able to see and fully appreciate that our world’s greatest issues cannot be solved by one single academic discipline.

We needed to rely upon our experts in science, business, public policy, technology and so much more to get through such a difficult time. Knowing that, I understand the value of being versatile in my studies, and how staying passionate about holistic education will best prepare me to face our world’s challenges in the future. » PATRICIA ROER

She made a “terrible” investment in Regeneron, chalked it up to a teachable moment and never looked back. Recently Nicole was named club president, making her the first female to hold the position.

This year in particular was a boon time for the financier. The club traded one million dollars in a market simulation. “I was sitting on my computer buying and selling, and my parents were like, ‘don’t you have tests to study for?’” They needn’t have worried. Nicole is a standout student. Among her favorite classes from last year: AP Economics and AP Calculus. “I love math so much,” she says. “I love numbers. We had to cr›eate a spread sheet for thirty economic indicators and keep up with it throughout the year. It’s so much fun.”

Nicole applies that passion into everything she does. Last year, she started the Women in Business Club at King School after attending a BOLD leadership conference at Harvard, sponsored by the Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business Club. “I saw the amazing things they did. I saw how recruiting for investment jobs starts. I thought, what if my high school could put the girls in our school on the track to be in that club one day?” (She has been named to the leadership team for next year’s conference.)

As a co-host of the weekly podcast King Cast, she covers trends in economics and finance, a role for which she was inducted into the Quill and Scroll Honor Society. As a two-term member of the school’s Peer Review Board, she considers disciplinary issues within the school community. She has starred in twenty theatrical productions since the age of three (twelve at King) and is a member of the varsity tennis squad. “It’s crucial to have a creative outlet where you don’t have to be in your academic thinker mode,” she says.

As the rising senior ponders her future, Nicole is sure of one thing.

“Economics and finance are two careers that really shape the world.

I’ve always told myself I want to do something that will make a difference in the world. I don’t know if that means being the chair of the Federal Reserve or a CFO on Wall Street; but no matter what, I want to do something that makes a difference.”

Hackley School ᾿22

J

ared Rosenberg has never been one to shy away from a challenge. Case in point: making a move from public school to private school in ninth grade. “I didn’t know anyone there,” he says. “My life was good, and I thought, why not throw myself into something new.” Now a rising senior at Hackley, the seventeenyear-old has made the most of his time there, devoting himself to his academics and a deep commitment to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s (his grandfather died of the disease when Jared was a toddler). His passion for cars and photography led to a unique fundraiser—a car show called Hypercar Circle, which he launched in 2019.

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

My eleventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Moriarty, taught me more about my work ethic than any other teacher. I learned how to make my writing more efficient and effective, while using my realworld knowledge to contribute to my ideas. The class was always challenging and led me to push myself all the way until the end, where I was very successful on my final essay and project.

Jared raised $1,500 for the Alzheimer’s drug discovery program that year and $3,600 the next; he got the idea for the event after participating in several Alzheimer walks. “Being the kind of person I am, I always wanted to do my own event,” he says. “I wanted to create something powerful and meaningful, involving something I’m passionate about.” As a result, Jared was invited to join the board of the New York City-based Young Professionals Committee of the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, a role he relishes. “The foundation focuses on finding the diagnostic tests to end the disease.

Literally, it’s about finding a cure.”

He is also the president of the Alzheimer’s Club at school, which he founded in his junior year. In its initial outing, the club’s Alzheimer’s walk raised about $2,000.

Jared is equally driven when it comes to his academics and athletics. He is pursuing an independent Spike Lab project

that incorporates the same sort of AI technology found in self-driving cars and applies it to creating smart homes for Alzheimer’s patients. Utilizing projected light and wearable technology, the system transforms a person’s living space into a “smart” space by providing time and locationbased directions and instructions that guide the patient away from potentially hazardous appliances and areas. “All of it works without being intrusive to the home,” says Jared, “so you don’t have to make expensive interior modifications.

And it allows a patient’s loved ones to stay connected.”

He is also a peer advisor, a member of the Investment Club and captain of the varsity golf team. Named rookie of the year as a freshman in 2018, Jared was number one on the team last year.

After a summer internship at an investment bank, he’s considering a career in real estate development.

What’s the greatest challenge you’ve overcome?

A great challenge for me was pivoting the idea of my independent research project.

I had done many hours of hard work researching, designing and executing on a project that was not viable to complete during Covid, so I had to pursue a different idea. This pivot also allowed me to follow a path that I was more passionate about and could produce more results in.

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I learned to take advantage of boredom and free time for the betterment of myself. I could have sat around on my phone and played video games most of the time, but I decided to grind my SAT studies, schoolwork and independent research project to new levels. »

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

The earlier you begin working hard and not let yourself slow down, you will always improve.

The sooner you engage in more activities, the better it will be, even if it is overwhelming at first.

MOLLY KIM St. Luke’s School ᾿21

F

or as long as she can remember, Molly Kim dreamed about attending the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. No surprise.

Her dad is a West Point grad, and her oldest brother is a senior there. “West Point has always been a big part of my life,” she says. “While making my decision about college, what it came down to first is that I really wanted to give back to my country.”

This fall, Molly began realizing her dream when she entered the prestigious military academy as a first-year cadet.

Molly says her fierce sense of patriotism, work ethic and drive come from her family. “My parents instilled all these values in us, and to take advantage of all the blessings that we have and push ourselves to

Who has been your most impactful teacher?

The teachers at St. Luke’s are phenomenal, but if I had to choose one who has had the greatest impact on me, it would be Señor Pontaza. I was fortunate enough to have him for two years of Spanish, and he made the classroom a very welcoming place to learn. He’s always so happy, and his joy was contagious.

What’s the greatest challenge you have overcome?

Understanding that I’m my own unique person and that I shouldn’t waste time comparing myself to others. Being in a family where each of my siblings are very successful, I’ve learned to be confident in my own strengths and abilities. be the best we can be.”

During her time at St. Luke’s, she took advantage of every opportunity that came her way. As a senior, she co-captained the varsity lacrosse team, where she made it a priority to lead by example. “When I joined as a freshman the team culture wasn’t very strong. This year, we just really became a family, and I saw how well we performed because were so tight knit,” she says.

She nurtured a love of both STEM and Humanities, tackling numerous AP and honors courses, and was inducted into St. Luke’s Cum Laude Society. She was a frequent contributor to the student-run Eye of the Storm Club (along with her twin sister, Elyse, a 2020 Teen to Watch), which chronicles school life in videos and podcasts. She played in the school band, served for two terms as class representative and spent two years on the school’s Honor Council.

As a trained facilitator for St. Luke’s Community Goals

for Learning, Molly helped lead conversations to promote civil discourse among her peers. “We focused on creating an open environment where people could use their own voice and express their own opinions,” she says. Molly also volunteered for Children of Fallen Patriots, an organization founded by her father, which provides college scholarships to teens who have lost a parent in the line of duty. Watching her parents work so hard to help people they’ve never met has had a profound impact. “I see how they selflessly take care of other people’s children.

It’s not something they need to do, but they do it anyway.”

It’s a lesson she'll take with her to West Point, where she hopes to be invited to attend the elite U.S. Army Airborne School next summer. “I’ve never jumped out of a plane, and I’m definitely afraid of heights,” she says.

“But I’m always looking for ways to push myself. Serving with the best of the best—that is something I’m very passionate about.”

What life lesson did you learn from coping with Covid?

I learned how important it is to be resilient and to “control the controlables.” Life will always throw curve balls at you; what truly matters is how you respond to those challenges. G

Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your freshman self?

I would say that I shouldn’t stress over things that I cannot control.

Keep your head up and get over the stupid stuff that won’t matter in five years.

225 TOP DENTISTS IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY

ur smiles say a lot about us. So finding the right dental professional is very important. We’re here to help with our 2021 guide to leading dental practitioners in Fairfield County.

We turned to topDentists, a leading dental data research firm, for its inventory of elite practitioners. Its process is simple: TopDentists surveyors asked area specialists who are members of the American Dental Association to evaluate their peers. The criteria included experience, continuing education, patient care and use

of new technologies. Respondents were also asked to put aside personal and political bias and use only their knowledge of a peer’s work when evaluating nominees.

Final selections were made after careful examination of credentials and past records with state academies and dental boards.

So, whether or not you’ve put off your regular cleaning, your child needs braces or you’ve been thinking about whitening, take a look. The list that follows is sure to include a specialist you can count on. »

HOW IT’S DONE METHODOLOGY BEHIND THE TOP DENTISTS LIST This list is excerpted from the 2021 topDentists™ list, a database that includes listings of more than 220 dentists and specialists in the Fairfield County area. The list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dental professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. For more information call 706-364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com

SELECTION PROCESS “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?”

This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and, of course, physical results.

The nomination pool of dentists consists of all dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peers’ work when evaluating the other nominees.

Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given a careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received and status in various dental academies can play a factor in our decision.

Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board.

Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.

Of course, there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate and useful list of dentists available anywhere.

DISCLAIMER This list is excerpted from 2021 the topDentists™ list, which includes listings for over 220 dentists and specialists in the Fairfield County area. For more information call 706-364-0853; write P.O.

Doctors Mark and Sean Sutton of Greenwich Dentistry in Cos Cob

are Greenwich’s newest, most exciting, and only father-son duo in town. The practice, located at 391 East Putnam Ave., has cared for patients since 1977 and boasts a long history of providing dental services to a loyal patient base. Dr. Sean Sutton recently joined his father at the helm and brings a fresh outlook and contemporary armamentarium to dental care.

Dr. Mark Sutton graduated from NYU College of Dentistry after taking a hiatus from his medical training to pursue an interest in becoming a Hollywood stuntman.

After serving as Robin Williams’s stunt double in “World According to Garp,” and appearing in films like “Splash” and “Ghost Busters,” he realized he would rather fix teeth than break them. For over 30 years, Dr. Mark Sutton has helped build one of the oldest and most reputable practices in Greenwich through his commitment to lifelong education, evidence-based practice and patient satisfaction. Dr. Sutton puts his patients’ comfort and treatment expectations at the forefront, while using the latest technology to deliver the highest quality care. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Connecticut State Dental Association, and the Greenwich Dental Society, where he has served as president.

Dr. Sean Sutton was born and raised in Greenwich, where he was given a first-hand perspective to the impact his father makes in the community through patient care and neighborhood outreach programs. At the University of Michigan, Sean was Captain of the 1st and 2nd ever Division-1 men’s lacrosse teams and excelled in his studies and goal of becoming a doctor. Like his father, Dr. Sean Sutton graduated with honors from NYU College of Dentistry. There, he learned from the top minds in the fields of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, while taking advantage of the school’s worldrenowned research programs and state-of-

the-art dental technology. He completed a hospital residency program at The Brooklyn Hospital, where he received extensive training in oral surgery, orthodontics and pediatrics. Dr. Sean Sutton believes that oral health is an integral part of overall health and works with specialists in all fields of medicine to provide his patients with healthy and beautiful smiles. Dr. Sean Sutton is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists, the Connecticut State Dental Association, and the Second District

Technological advances really help her days go by with less stress. At her family practice in Cos Cob, she uses the safest equipment and the most up-todate technology available.

It has been a tough year fighting the Covid virus, but Dentistry is essential to our overall health and wellbeing. We have put into place guidelines to safely and effectively provide dental treatment to our patients, as well as keeping our families, friends and staff as safe as possible. We continue to follow all local and changing regulations on a daily basis.

Our patients and staff are so happy to be coming back and we hope it can stay this way.

While there are many things I love about being a Dentist, treatment planning with the local specialists in town is very exciting for me. Being a solo Dentist at my office can get lonely sometimes, so it is great to work and collaborate with a

group of talented dentists I also call my friends. I love watching kids I see at 3 or 4 years old grow up. Being a general dentist, I can appreciate different stages of growth and even watch them have their own children. But the best part about my job is the work-life balance it provides me as a mother of 2 active boys. I can get into work early, do teeth all day, and make it to their events after school. It is most important to me not to miss my children growing up, and Dentistry allows me to do just that.

What is your greatest achievement?

When past patients come back with their children for me to treat, it is the greatest compliment I can ever receive!!

Why is it important for children to get screened by the age of 7?

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an evaluation by an orthodontist by age seven because many times early developmental treatment guides permanent teeth into a more favorable position, lowers the risk of dental trauma and can correct skeletal discrepancies.

Your business needs a high quality video. Still photos just don’t cut it. Nothing can sell you or your company better than video. Moving pictures and sound are far more engaging to customers and clients. Business videos can be multipurposed: to enhance your website, use for presentations, for e-newsletters, for social networking sites, and so on. Video is the way of today and is so easily accessible to everyone.

Greenwich Economic Forum This month, leading minds in global business, finance, media and government will once again convene in Greenwich for the fourth annual Greenwich Economic Forum. In 2018, Jim Aiello and Bruce McGuire of the Greenwich Business Institute launched the global investment conference, which fosters discussion and debate about the financial impact of the defining issues of our times. Past speakers have included Ray Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, Annie Lamont, Afsaneh Beschloss, Byron Allen, Steve Case and Arianna Huffington.

This year, the Forum will focus on the global economic impact the pandemic had—and will continue to have—on the world economy. It will also explore international government stimulus efforts, the emergence of Digital Assets as a new asset class, the “new rules” of ESG, China’s evolving role in world economy and several other topics.

The Forum will take place in person on Tuesday, September 21 at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor hotel, as well as digitally with GEF’s global audience on September 22 and 23. Registration for both digital and in-person Delegate Passes is now open. greenwicheconomicforum.com ( for more events visit greenwichmag.com )
