The Post-It Note was first introduced by 3M to the commercial marketplace in 1980, the same year Tucker Killam graduated from Suffield Academy. It was a remarkable invention with several applications but used most commonly for reminders. Today these sticky squares serve as bookmarks and even art installations, and are recognized world-wide as computer screen accessories. They help us find pages more easily and remember ideas we must not soon forget. Now fashioned in a variety of colors and sizes, the Post-It Note remains mostly unchanged. Suffield Academy has also undergone an evolution in appearance since 1980 but its purpose remains specifically as intended. There are perhaps no better symbols of this than the experiences of legacy families. Like sticky notes, legacies serve as reminders of special experiences not soon forgotten. This is the story of three legacy families.
