Dear Friends, In his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman professes his adamant belief that the growth of a blade of grass is “no less than the journey-work of the stars.” I’ve always been drawn to this elegant phrase: that a task so simple, yet so natural and fundamental extends beyond mere vocation and is transformed into something more noble and enduring. The profession of education, I believe, is just the type of journey-work Whitman describes. The term not only reflects the long tenure of the student-teacher relationship – a semester, a year, perhaps an entire “Liggett life” – but also acknowledges the sacred and universal work of educating students and building lives of excellence and purpose.

“While this issue of Perspective shares the exciting things happening

One of the great joys of this journey-work of education is that we don’t know what each day will bring. As students cross our threshold each morning they enter an environment in which opportunities for deep learning, personal growth and outstanding achievement are limited only by their imagination, industry, and intellectual courage. When these traits are incubated by the expert guidance, careful encouragement, and steadfast belief of a dedicated teacher, nothing is impossible.

in the University Liggett

In my four years at Liggett, I have been inspired by the incredible outcomes that such an environment creates. From the inquiry-based discoveries of our youngest learners in the Lower School to the unique leadership skills and experiences in the Middle School and to the authentic research that our seniors are undertaking for their Academic Research Projects, University Liggett School continues to produce remarkable stories like those featured in the pages that follow. I hope you’ll get a sense of how vibrant – and how unique – each “day in the life” at Liggett is.

the promise of tomorrow.

While this issue of Perspective shares the exciting things happening in the University Liggett School community today, we can’t lose sight of that on which our collective efforts are truly focused: the promise of tomorrow. Within each student we serve lies the potential to change the world, and, indeed, to shape lives. We deeply appreciate the support of so many alumni, parents, and friends as we continue to pursue this precious journey-work of the stars. Sincerely,

Bart Bronk Interim Head of School

Commencement 2017 Sunday, June 4

Under clear blue skies, the Liggett community came together to share in the excitement and celebrate the academic accomplishments of the graduates of the Class of 2017.

Bart Bronk

Stephen “Brock” Dunn

Upper School

Welcomes New Head

Stephen “Brock” Dunn has been named Head of the Upper School. Dunn joined Liggett in July from Connecticut’s Ethel Walker School, where he was executive director of strategic initiatives. Previously, he was head of the Middle and Upper Schools at Ethel Walker. He also held positions previously at the Masters School in New York, Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts and Cardigan Mountain School in New Hampshire.

Interim Head of School is Named Bart Bronk has been named interim head of school for the 2017-18 school year. He succeeds Joseph P. Healey, who retired in June. Bronk, previously provost and COO, is an accomplished educator and administrator with an impressive background in independent schools. He has been at Liggett since 2013. In his former role as provost and COO, he was responsible for the school’s PreK through 12th grade academic program and curriculum development, faculty and administrative recruitment, professional development, finance and operations, and technology. A national search for a permanent head of school is ongoing and will be announced before the end of the year. To read more about him, see page 6.

Liggett Theater Student Wins

Scholarship

Liggett senior Antonio Cipriano was one of six finalists to receive a $2,500 scholarship during the National High School Musical Theater Awards program — also known as Jimmy Awards, held on Broadway this summer. Tony, along with Liggett senior Catherine Elliott, were just two of only 74 high school students in the country to be nominated to attend the awards — and the only two students from Michigan.

French Students Honored Four students at Liggett were honored at The War Memorial for their outstanding performance in French this year at the annual Distribution des prix of the Alliance Française de Grosse Pointe. The recipients were Liggett students Daniel McMann (not pictured), Dylan Ponman, Andrew Backer and Tamara Ajjour. In addition to the awards, Tamara received a scholarship from the Alliance Française for her first year of study at the University of Michigan, where she plans to study French.

History Teacher Receives

National Award

Adam Hellebuyck wins national contest by Daughters of the American Revolution. Adam Hellebuyck, an Upper School history teacher at University Liggett School, has been selected as the national winner of the 2017 Daughters of the American Revolution “Outstanding Teacher of American History” contest. Hellebuyck was first nominated and chosen by the local Louisa St. Clair Chapter, before going on to receive statewide, regional and national awards. He was presented the national honor in June at the DAR 126th Continental Congress in Washington, D.C. “Adam makes the study of American history relevant to his students’ lives,” says Peggy Scully, regent of the Louisa St. Clair Chapter of DAR. “His unique teaching style and appreciation for the values upon which our nation was founded make him the ideal recipient for this prestigious award.” Hellebuyck piloted his unique teaching style in 2015 with the inception of a highly successful course, “Approaching the National Narrative Through a Local

Lens.” As the name suggests, the innovative course is centered on a local, fixed-place perspective highlighting Detroit’s place in national history. “Over time, I became frustrated with the traditional approach to studying history, which bounces around the country to famous places and events and gives a scattered geographic focus,” Hellebuyck says. “History is much more meaningful for students when they view it through a local lens and are able to relate it back to modern times.” Hellebuyck’s unique approach to the study of history has earned him previous accolades including the 2015 State History Award for Educational Programs presented by the Michigan Historical Society. In addition to teaching history, Hellebuyck is Liggett’s history and social studies department chair, Upper School council advisor and a mentor for students’ independent projects. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Michigan.

Continuing the Momentum Interim head looks to continue school’s momentum. By Mary Anne Brush This article originally appeared in the Grosse Pointe News

Beginning his fifth year at University Liggett School, Bart Bronk has served in four positions. Hired as associate dean of faculty in fall 2013, he transitioned to associate head of school for academics and dean of faculty two years later and provost and chief operating officer this past school year. On July 1, he stepped into his new role as interim head of school upon the retirement of Joseph Healey, who led the school for the past decade. They are “enormous shoes to fill,” Bronk said. “I am here because of Joe and because of his vision and because of the learning atmosphere he has created.” Having lived within a 25-mile radius of Philadelphia his entire life, Bronk had no plans to move to the Midwest. But after meeting with Healey, he said he was taken with his vision for education and “enchanted by the work the faculty was doing.” He left his position as director of admissions at a boarding and day school in Exton, Pa., to move his family to Grosse Pointe Woods. Four years later, he doesn’t regret the decision to join the administration at Liggett. He and his wife, Chrissy, and their children — Emilia, 13, a rising eighth-grader and Charlie, 9, a rising fourth-grader, both at Liggett — have settled into the community. For the upcoming year, Bronk has two major goals: to provide stability and maintain the school’s momentum. “As an interim, you can’t do much,” he said. “You aren’t here to make big structural changes or to touch anything sacred. Our direction is a great direction and I’m not here to change that. I’m just here to make sure the momentum continues.” In addition to Healey’s retirement, changes in leadership the past year included the departure of Head of Upper School Karl Palmgren and Head of Middle School Jim Brewer. Filling these positions are newcomers Brock 6

PERSPECTIVE

Dunn and Robert Butler. “My first job is to build a team dynamic with our hires, who are terrific, and to make sure that each student’s experience is flawless,” said Bronk. “We will not use transition as an excuse for any bumps in the experience of our kids. We want to make sure the faculty is well supported and prepared to offer the incredible educational experience that we’ve always offered.” He is excited about school initiatives such as implementing Singapore math to students in kindergarten through sixth grade — what he called “the beginning of a real math renaissance here” — and a middle school program designed with the whole child in mind that gives middle schoolers the space to grow from child to adult. “Middle school should never be a mini high school,” Bronk said. “That’s not what’s best for kids. I think we really have a program — a credit to Jim Brewer, who’s off to a new school in Utah — that’s designed with the middle grades in mind. At the high school level, Bronk praised the Academic Research Project as a differentiator for Liggett and something he expects to continue to develop. He also is proud of the school’s college acceptance record. Three 2017 graduates are headed to Princeton, among other highly selective colleges and universities. It’s not uncommon for 30 to 40 percent of the senior class to be accepted to the University of Michigan, he said. “I’m proud of those outcomes, but I’m also proud that we get there without rigor for rigor’s sake. I never want to hear our kids say they ‘survived’ high school. I want our kids to be able to be ready for college, but also say they were able to enjoy four or eight or 13 years here.” He hopes to bring this same enjoyment to Liggett faculty by highlighting “emotional leadership traits” of empathy and joy. “That’s what’s most exciting about this role,” he continued. “I just have to set the conditions for the teachers to succeed. They have the ideas and the talent.” For more about the Grosse Pointe News, visit www.grossepointenews.com

Sports Briefs Spring Sports Nine athletes competed in the track and field state finals meet. The track team delivered several personal records at the state finals. Nick Brusilow earned a fourth-place finish in the 800, where first through fourth places were separated by only .4 seconds. The golf team finished second in the regional tournament and qualified to compete in the state championship. The team placed 13th in the state competition. Freshman Melanie Zampardo competed in the state tennis finals in June. She advanced to the quarter-final round, losing in three sets to a tough opponent from Greenhills School.

Softball Season Ends in the

State Playoffs

For the second year in a row, University Liggett School’s softball season ended with a loss to Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central in the Division 3 quarterfinal. Catholic Central beat Liggett 5-0 in June before going on to win the program’s third consecutive Division 3 state title.

Girls’ Soccer Goes to

Semi-finals

University Liggett School girls’ soccer team fell short of its goal to repeat as state champions during the Division 4 state semifinals in June. The Knights lost 2-0 to Lansing Christian. It was the third straight season these teams met in the final four. Lansing Christian won 2-1 in 2015, while Liggett won 1-0 last season.

The Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association ranked Catholic Central as the No.1 Division 3 team in the state, with Liggett at No. 2. The Knights ended the season with five straight regional championships at the D-3 and D-4 levels. Liggett coach Jim Schmidt was also thrilled that the team defended its Michigan Independent Athletic Conference championship – saying the competition was tough.

Head Coach David Dwaihy says he knew this would be a tough game.

“We’re playing in the upper division of the MIAC, and we wanted to win. We were the defending champions,” he says.

The Pilgrims scored both of their goals early and the Knights only had one shot on goal during the first 40 minutes.

Seniors Emma St. John ‘17 and Emily Miserendino ‘17 led the team. In just two seasons, St. John broke the school’s strikeout record.

“Our girls fought back and played as well as I’ve seen them play in the second half, but we couldn’t quite find that first goal to spark a comeback,” says Dwaihy. The Knights finished the season 15-7-1.

The good news for the program is that the team has plenty of younger members who can play at the varsity level.

The soccer team lost seniors Kara Francis, Lucy Alpert, Rebecca Lohman and Maddie Wu, but several younger forwards will return next season. 8

“We have some outstanding young players,” Schmidt says. “You play sports to have fun, and I think the coaches had fun and I think the players had fun, too.”

ATHLETICS

“It’s a season to remember. We took a small school and went all the way to Division 1 final four. I’m so proud of our boys.” - Dan Cimini, baseball head coach

Knights Baseball Team Finds Success in Division 1 The baseball team’s attempt to win a second consecutive state title was denied by Saline High School, as the Knights lost 12-0 in a Division 1 semifinal in June at Michigan State University. Saline went on to win the state championship with a 5-2 win against Northville High School. Liggett reached the semifinals with a 6-0 victory against Sterling Heights Stevenson in the quarterfinal round. After having won four state championships in six years at the Division 3 and Division 4 levels, the Knights moved up to Division 1 this year.

“It’s a season to remember. We took a small school and went all the way to Division 1 final four. I’m so proud of our boys,” Cimini says. The Knights have enjoyed a lot of success in recent years, but there was some uncertainty about how the team would fare in Division 1. Cimini says his team proved it belonged. “It was about proving to ourselves and proving to everybody else that we could compete at this level, and we did it,” he says.

Liggett finished the season at 33-5, which is the most wins in program history, according to Head Coach Dan Cimini.

Not only have the Knights been successful on the baseball field, Cimini says his team is just as successful in the classroom.

Liggett also came away from the season with its 11th district championship since 2005.

The Knights were All-State academically, with a team GPA of 3.83.

New Head Coach for Boys’ Varsity Hockey University Liggett School has hired Mike Maltese as the head coach for the boys’ varsity hockey team. Previously, Maltese was the boys’ varsity head coach at Grosse Pointe North High School and was an assistant coach at De La Salle High School. “It is a tremendous honor to be named the head coach at University Liggett School,” Maltese says. Maltese started his hockey career in the Grosse Pointe Hockey Association, playing six years for the Grosse Pointe Bulldogs, before making the jump to the Harper Woods Notre Dame High School hockey team. While at Notre Dame he led his team to a league championship, the regional finals and earned all-league honors. “I look forward to the continued success of the boys’ hockey program under Mike’s direction and leadership,” says Michelle Hicks, athletic director. “As a former collegiate hockey player, he understands the game from a player’s perspective. He’s excited to bring his knowledge and experience to our student-athletes.”

After high school, Maltese played two years in the Belle Tire Midget Major AAA program. As captain, he led the team in scoring. From there he was drafted in the USHL, tendered and played for the Youngstown Phantoms in the NAHL for two years. He then received a scholarship to play Division I college hockey at Northern Michigan University in the CCHA. “Liggett hockey has a tradition of great coaches, great players, great teams and championships, and I’m excited to help current student-athletes add to that tradition,” he says. A graduate of Northern Michigan University, Maltese teaches in Madison Heights at Bishop Foley Catholic High School and recently completed his master’s in administrative leadership at Grand Valley State University. He lives in Grosse Pointe Farms with his wife, Dani, and son Benny. “My family and I are excited to become a part of the University Liggett School family,” Maltese says. ULS.ORG

For almost 140 years, University Liggett School and its predecessor schools have educated a friendly, inquisitive and diverse community of learners. Students and faculty alike are welcoming, highly motivated and energized to study and teach their passions, and alumni often come back to share similar success stories. While there is no typical day in the life of a Liggett student or alum, here we outline â&#x20AC;&#x153;a day in the lifeâ&#x20AC;? at University Liggett School.

The sun emerges over the eastern horizon as Joe Koenig pulls the American flag up the flagpole at University Liggett School. For 27 years he has been responsible for this important ritual. “Raising the flag every school day is a great way for the school to show its pride and respect for America,” Koenig says. Koenig also helps one Upper School student and one Lower School student raise the flag during the annual Flag Raising ceremony that is the traditional opening of the school year. “The kids take it seriously,” he says. “And it’s fun to see how excited they are when they get to participate.”

English teacher Elizabeth Wagenschutz gives a hug to her son Sam, who is in prekindergarten, and heads toward her office in the Upper School to catch up on work for the school’s literary magazine, The Lambrequin, before classes begin. Wagenschutz is the faculty advisor for the student-driven club. The student-published magazine is almost 100 pages and a considerable effort. It’s well worth it, though. The magazine received a gold Gold Metal rating from Columbia Scholastic Press Association through Columbia University, and a “Superior, nominated for Highest” from the National Council for teachers of English program, which recognizes excellence in scholastic literary magazines.

Middle School math teacher Morgan Costanzo greets her sixth-grade students and, on this day, prepares to teach them about ratios and mixed operations. Costanzo enjoys the small class sizes in the Middle School. She says it gives her the opportunity to work with students oneon-one. “I love teaching at Liggett because the small class sizes allow me to individualize curriculum so that I can capitalize on students strengths and push them as mathematicians,” she says. “The curriculum in middle school math is designed to instill a growth mindset in each student, where they are empowered to find how they learn best while having them delve into the conceptual underpinnings of the mathematics.” Sixth-grade math is a foundational year where students make connections between fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and integers. “It is an absolute joy to watch my students develop into mathematicians who persevere when given challenging problems and find their formula for learning. The enthusiasm for learning inspires me every day,” Costanzo says.

Lower School physical education instructor Biffy Fowler prepares for a busy day of PE classes. Liggett is different from elementary schools because students have PE every day beginning in first grade. “We make it fun. We incorporate a lot of games and playing in our PE classes. By playing games, instead of doing drills or calisthenics, the students build confidence, coordination, balance and other physical abilities.With McCann Ice Arena, Liggett’s own skating rink, ice skating is added to the P.E. schedule beginning in first grade. “It’s unusual for a school to have its own ice rink and we are extremely fortunate to teach basic hockey and skating skills to our students,” Fowler says.

8:17 a.m.

In Chris Hemler’s 11th-grade ARP class, students discuss the importance of using primary sources and discerning what sources and texts can be used in scholarly research and which cannot. The Upper School is built around a four-year Academic Research Program in which ninth- and 10th-graders master the foundations needed to become critical thinkers and valued contributors. In

the first two years, students follow a core curriculum while building research skills, learning to ask provocative questions and gaining proficiency in the most up-to-date research practices. For their Academic Research Projects, students think about their own passions and interests, then pose and answer a relevant academic question. The project expands beyond the school – some students work with mentors at area universities, health systems and other organizations as well as conduct scholarly research online and off site. The project culminates with a Celebration of Research, the ARP’s signature event during which students present their findings through a series of engaging presentations and other discourses.

First-graders in Julie Borushko and Anne McCauley’s classes are getting ready to meet their Senior Buddies for the first time. Having a Senior Buddy is one of the hallmarks of being a first-grader at Liggett. For this first meeting of the year the first-graders are conducting a get-to-know-your-Senior Buddy interview. Borushko, a 2004 Liggett graduate, remembers how special it was to make a connection with a first-grader through the Senior Buddy program. Now, as a first-grade teacher at Liggett, Borushko is overseeing the program between her firstgraders and the seniors. ‘We get together once a month to do different activities; sometimes it’s a service project, sometimes it’s fun, but there’s always an educational aspect for the first-graders. It’s a great program. When the first-graders walk through campus and see their Senior Buddies, they get so excited.”

8:40 a.m.

Internships, college transers and career choices are a few of the topics discussed by eight University Liggett School alumni and one parent at the Alumni/ARP Career forum for 11th grade students. The career forum brings in alumni to talk to the 11th grade ARP students to help them gain insights into careers and narrow the focus of their Academic Research Project.

The first-graders look forward to working with their seniors buddies. Having a Senior Buddy is a highlight for the first-graders.

Ed Gotfredson, father of George ‘18, says internships can be a great way to explore and learn about different jobs before making a final career choice. “Even if it’s your friend’s dad and you’re not really sure what the job is, get as many internships, paid or not paid, as you can. An internship gives you the opportunity to test out different fields,” he says.

The Orff method often uses instruments like xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels. “We take what the students are learning in their classrooms and translate it to music,” Houk says. “For example, the kindergarteners learned about dinosaurs in the classroom and we took what they learned and turned it into a song and dance about dinosaurs for our spring concert.”

“Make the call. Just do it,” says Armaity Minwalla ‘13 to a group of 11th- and 12th-grade students. Minwalla, who is currently earning her master’s degree at the University of Michigan, returned to campus for the day with several other members of the Class of 2013 to talk to the Upper School students about their ARP projects. The 2013 class was the pioneering class for the ARP. “I gained so much from this program, not just in terms of knowledge, but also in experience, skills and confidence, and I wanted to share some of that with the current ARP students. I learned how to talk to professionals. I learned to make that call, even though I might have been nervous or intimidated. Those are valuable skills to have in college and beyond,” she says.

Making a Difference

Where it Matters Most

Dianne Seeber ‘70 LIG supports nonprofits. By Claire Charlton

Her ability to craft a creative phrase is the skill Dianne Seeber ‘70 LIG prizes most from her years of learning at the Liggett School, one of University Liggett’s predecessor schools. Those top-notch writing and communication skills have formed the backbone of her long and fruitful career in marketing and public relations. From her first job drafting press releases and developing presentations for a stock broker/analyst, to the annual reports she crafted for City National Bank in Detroit, to the clients she now supports as a freelance marketing professional in Orange County, Calif., Seeber knows that her words are rock solid because of the foundation she built in Mrs. Petrie’s English class. “She really got us accustomed to critical thinking and proper writing,” Seeber says. The cultural sophistication she gleaned from Liggett French teacher Mme. Bruce was significant. “She was beautiful, talented, funny and charming,” Seeber says. “She invited our class to her home for a real French meal, which inspired me to become a better cook, one of my favorite hobbies to this day.” While Seeber works with clients in diverse industries, she most relishes helping nonprofits boost awareness and share stories with their communities. Two organizations she is passionate about are Working Wardrobes, which has served 80,000 clients, especially veterans, in back-to-career readiness initiatives, and Youth Employment Services, which has prepared 50,000 students for their first jobs. Cultivating friendships with other women is a priority for Seeber, and, in addition to her robust group of local friends, she connects often with old pals from Liggett. “We have met up in Naples, Fla., on Squirrel Island, Maine and will meet in Charlottesville, Va., next year,” Seeber says. “How many times can you say ‘we’ve been friends for more than 50 years?’ It’s rare and it’s a blessing.”

A Day in the Life of Dianne Seeber 6 a.m. My 5-year-old cocker spaniel Tucker and rescue cat Shady wake me early because they are hungry. Breakfast for me is Kashi with berries and yogurt, served parfait-style, and the mandatory coffee, always brewed at home. Then I hit the gym for some work with my personal trainer. If I don’t get that done in the morning, it won’t happen. 9 a.m. I’m checking online news – Wall Street Journal, LA Times, and on TV it’s Good Morning America or CNN. I’ve always been a news junkie, but lately I’ve been filtering a bit. Then I’ll catch up with emails and work on any time-sensitive client issues. 9:30 a.m. – noon I’ll spend time working on client projects, both forprofit and nonprofit. I’ll write a profile of a company that my client is marketing to prospective buyers or work on a website. 1 p.m. Client lunch! We’ll meet at Brio Italian at the Irvine Spectrum Center. Parking is easy there and I’m a big fan of their ahi tuna, seared rare. If it’s a weekend, my partner, David, and I will go to Laguna or Newport, where my son and his wife live. 3 p.m. Digging into client work, writing press releases or other collateral. I always take some time to reach out to one or other longtime friend from Liggett to see how she is doing and to make plans to meet up someplace fun. These friends are never far from my thoughts. 7 p.m. We live in such a great place and love our home, so I’m proud to say we are homebodies most evenings. I love to cook, and then we always take Tucker to the lake for a walk. There are ducks and geese and bunnies to see. Then, David, my significant other, is ready to relax, and so am I. ULS.ORG

Kim Wattrick ‘99 blends fitness+business for the win. By Claire Charlton

Commit yourself, heart and soul, to what you believe in. That may not be Kim Wattrick’s ‘99 official mantra, but it’s certainly the way she lives her life.

Summit to Soul is a brick-and-mortar boutique with a robust online platform, curated by Wattrick, who has personally used the products she sells.

After earning degrees from Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins, Wattrick moved to Boston to manage the long-term endowment fund at Tufts University, specializing in a socially responsible, emerging market portfolio. Seeking operations experience, Wattrick transitioned to global education company Cengage Learning in Washington, D.C., where she focuses on process improvement and finance.

“It’s a combination of my personal passion and the business skills I have learned over time, and it’s what I love to do.”

This is her day job. But she has another. In 2015, Wattrick blended her love for fitness with her business smarts and cut the ribbon at Summit to Soul, a running and fitness apparel store in an emerging neighborhood on Capitol Hill. “I was drawing on my experience in socially responsible investing, and I carry a unique product that you can’t get anywhere,” Wattrick says. “All products were either made in the U.S., were made by a woman-owned business, or by a company with a give-back model.”

Wattrick credits her University Liggett School education for her success in college and in life. “Liggett definitely put me on a trajectory of success from a formidable age,” she says. “The academic rigor and personal excellence that Liggett demands set me up.” During an April event, Florida Congresswomen Lois Frankel and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, and California Congresswoman Nanette Barragán visited Summit to Soul to do a Facebook live video to raise awareness of the pay gap for women. “It was remarkable, especially since we have been open less than a year on Capitol Hill,” Wattrick says. “It’s a reflection of the hard work [my staff and I] have put in.”

store staffed so I can meet a group of friends in D.C. who are all strong runners. We run six to 20 miles and then have breakfast together. I look forward to it every week because they’re really some of my best friends.

9 a.m. I’m working at my day job at Cengage. My office has a tech startup feel with a fully stocked kitchen, so as a last-resort, breakfast is cereal, there.

noon For lunch I’ll go to Sweetgreen for a salad, or there’s a Whole Foods a half mile away that I walk to. I don’t have a car!

8 p.m. In the neighborhood, there is an organic market where I can pick up dinner, or I’ll have leftovers. Maybe I’ll meet friends at CAVA for Mediterranean, get a drink and sit on the roof deck.

A Day in the Life of Joey Cobb 5:15 a.m. Wake up for a 6 a.m. workout at Barry’s Boot Camp, which is a big New York group fitness thing. I work out every day. Then I shower and meditate for 30 minutes. I’ve used Headspace and Meditation Studio on my phone, and I have attended studios here in the city.

The Hip

Hop-preneur For Joey Cobb ‘04, University Liggett School is a big part of his story. By Claire Charlton

He’s a musician, artist, businessman and a big thinker. He’s fluent in creative endeavors most of us don’t even know exist. He’s a hip-hop entrepreneur.

After that, I take a break for 10 minutes and knock out my morning pages. (It’s journaling, but capturing the emotional stuff. It’s a normal term in the creative world.) You’re supposed to do this as soon as you wake up, but… If I’m writing music, my morning pages are musicfocused. 9 a.m. This is the non-fun part – the paperwork side of my life. I’ll do management or team calls for two or three hours. Maybe I’ll follow up with a manager or publicist, or look at items in the pipeline.

“I live in the intersection of music, film, fashion and technology,” Cobb explains. At this crossroads, Cobb creates music, jams with other artists, runs a record label, designs capsule clothing collections, creates short films, and develops technology to make collaboration between artists simple and swift.

1:30 p.m. I have a funny appetite and I do spontaneous fasting. Sometimes I don’t eat until now. I’m health conscious but not vegetarian or vegan. I’ll switch it up. I have sushi once a week, maybe a cheeseburger or steak, or ramen, or Mexican food. I love to cook for creative expression and sometimes it’s leftovers.

After graduating from Wayne State University with a degree in media arts and studies, Cobb headed to San Francisco to apply his creative knowhow to transmedia – a type of digital cross-platform storytelling. Notably, he worked with artist Hank Willis Thomas on a project called Question Bridge, which positioned booths at various locations around the country to invite African American men to share their stories about identity.

Over lunch, I might think about ways I can come back to talk to the kids at Liggett. I’m on the board of the Motown Museum and we’re in the process of raising $50 million and will be adding a big education piece to the building. The youth are our future and it’s important to allow kids to touch their interests early on.

“It started as a discussion that encouraged African American men to identify what it means to be them. What is the African American male identity?” Cobb says. “It’s big and it’s still going on. There were booths at various locations, Sundance, San Francisco and New York City.”

2:30 p.m. If I have paperwork to do, I’ll go to Soho House & Co., which is a worldwide membership club that caters to creative. There are always a number of people working there from all industries. At night, it’s a hangout place. But if I’m working doing computer work or production of the songs I have on my plate, I’ll work from home. I might spend another three or four hours working on one song.

Simply put, Joey Cobb ‘04 is a creative-tech visionary.

Cobb moved from California to New York in 2014 and launched a music tech platform called Audio Common. “It’s a cloud-based platform that allows for collaboration when people aren’t in the same place,” Cobb says. “I come to Detroit to record a lot, and then for mixing and mastering, I upload multi-track stems and can engage with the engineer. It puts artist visibility into that session.” In 2015, Cobb started Stone Group, which is a holding company for his record label and publishing company, with room for a future venture capital arm. At the forefront for Cobb is his artistic use of language, which he credits to Liggett. “I champion Liggett wherever I go,” Cobb says. “It’s a big part of my story, my drive, who I am as a person.”

6 p.m. From now until about 10 p.m., I’ll work at Shifted Recording Studio in Brooklyn, or at Royal House Recording or Mix Factory One in Detroit. Then maybe there is a show I need to go to. It could be a late night! Dinner is mixed in there somewhere, or I might go to the studio on an empty stomach and order pizza or something to share with my engineers and the creative family. ULS.ORG

Following Plan A

Rachel Calderon ’00 reports traffic and finds time to build a side biz. By Claire Charlton

Tune into KIRO 7 in western Washington and you’ll catch morning traffic anchor Rachel Calderon ’00 as she shares interesting stories about the world and helps Seattle get to work. Seventeen years into her dream career, and the Emmy award-winning journalist couldn’t be happier. “Broadcast journalism was my only plan,” Calderon says. “As I grew curious about the world, I noticed that at Liggett, curiosity was welcomed. I can remember Dr. Moss encouraging me to think outside my comfort zone.” Comfort is elusive in the cutthroat broadcast news business, but Calderon excels through meticulous preparation, a thorough understanding of the environment and terrain, and frequent communication with meteorologists and construction folks. To explore a new skill set, Calderon owns a franchise of Rodan+Fields. “In journalism, I always looked for the pros and cons of what I’m covering and I took the same approach when I started my business,” she says. “What I have learned is that people don’t buy your product as much as they buy your story. I’ve been doing the same role for almost 20 years, and in the last 10, I’ve gotten married and had two children. The demands are even higher now. People can relate that you want your own set of rules.” Giving back to Liggett is something Calderon is proud to do. “I’ve always taken part in the Annual Fund, and I have stayed in touch with a lot of people. I arranged our five-year reunion and when the class of ‘96 had their 20th, I attended.” Calderon has spoken at Liggett’s career day and says she encourages students to rise to Liggett’s challenges because they prepare for future success. “Liggett was a special place for me. It’s where I met my closest friends.” It’s also where learned the value of teamwork and where Calderon met her husband and co-parent, Justin Young ‘98, an accomplished saxophonist and sales and marketing professional for Boeing. 22

I do my own hair and makeup at home – maybe that’s why I got interested in skin care. 3:15 a.m. I leave my home on the east side to arrive in Seattle by 3:40, where I prepare for broadcast. I might sip a protein shake on my way. I also drink a lot of water. 4:30 a.m. I’m on air until 8 a.m. Then I have breakfast of egg whites, brown rice and salsa (no salt!) and prepare an update for a later broadcast. 9 a.m. I’m reporting in the field. 11:30 a.m. Off the clock! Now I’m driving home and connecting with my team for my skincare business. 1 p.m. I take a break and get some lunch. 2 p.m. I’m at the gym! 3 p.m. Picking up Tyson, 7, and Vivienne, 4, from school. They have my full attention. I don’t like to be the one who is checking email. But the thing about news is you don’t get to decide. I might get a call at 3:30 p.m. about a bad accident and have to come back for a 5 o’clock broadcast. That happens from time to time; it’s part of the gig. I have an amazing husband who understands and picks up the kids. 5 p.m. We sit down for a family dinner. In the oven tonight is salmon with honey, dijon, soy and garlic, plus brown rice and asparagus. I make a lot of stir-frys, which are easy. I have been known to hire a chef to prepare meals for the week if it’s going to be crazy. I’ve only done that a few times. 7:30 p.m. It’s always hard but I try to be in bed by 7:30 or 8 p.m.

California Dreaming,

New York Living

Merritt Meade Loughran ‘84 spans the country and the globe. By Claire Charlton

“My dad provided a wonderful lifestyle and an excellent education for us at University Liggett School,” Merritt Meade Loughran says. “It felt natural to open my own business and follow in those footsteps.” Nearly 20 years ago, Loughran launched MML PR, a bicoastal public relations, marketing and events firm that specializes in fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

“Muriel Brock was a leader at Liggett, a strong, steady, well-respected woman. Back in the ‘80s, her presence was well known,” she says.

On the very day of the infamous O.J. Simpson Bronco chase in the summer of 1994, Loughran moved to California, intending to live the beach and surfer lifestyle for just one dream year. She’s still there, now married and raising two children in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles.

“Coach Romilly Stackpoole, with her brogue humor and commitment, too. You had to show up for these women. I want my team to show up for me and also for themselves. It’s a strong point that all I can do is lead the ship and provide the environment for success, and it’s up to the women I work with to take it to the next level.”

Loughran remembers well the impact sports had on her life at Liggett. She and best friend Laurie (Evans) Bond ‘84 played tennis and lacrosse and were recruited for the volleyball team, because they were the two tallest girls in their class. Loughran shares a lasting impact from Liggett coaches, an ethos she, as a woman business owner, extends to her team today.

When Loughran turned 50, she satisfied her wanderlust by taking a trip each month of the year. With family, with friends, and sometimes alone, Loughran visited Paris, Morocco, Harbor Springs, Blackberry Farms, Tenn., and Montecito, Calif. “I went around the world each month, and had an amazing year.”

Day in the Life of Merritt Meade Loughran 5:30 a.m. I wake up and start to plan my day, with coffee! I’m checking email and catching up with the workday in New York. I love to walk Clancy, my Wheaten terrier, through my neighborhood, which reminds me of Michigan. Then I shower and change. 6:30 a.m. I get my kids Maeve, 13, and Finn, 11, up and have breakfast with them. I love scrambled eggs or a spinach feta omelet. As a working mom, mornings are my precious time when I get to connect with my children. I get them ready for the car pool or I drive them to school. 9 a.m. I’m doing rolling calls or conference calls. If I’m in New York, I’ll take meetings with clients or with

This week I had a luncheon with The Advocate to further LGBT issues. It celebrated 50 years of the Black Cat protests, and was in honor of Pride Month.

7 p.m. I’ll take clients out for drinks or attend an event, like the Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards ceremony this week, which honored Elizabeth Banks, Tracee Ellis Ross, Zoey Deutch and Dan Rather. There’s something I do different every day.

2 p.m. I’m in contact with a dear friend from Liggett whose daughter will be an intern with me this summer. Also, I sit on the board at St. Paul the Apostle school where my children attend, so I do a lot of work at the school when I can. Also I might be planning our volunteer days events at the LGBT Center

11 p.m. I usually unwind with something fabulous on Bravo, like Southern Charm. But don’t tell anyone! I’m also a huge fan of reading. That’s how I relax. My dream day when I’m not working is to lie by the beach or pool, with my family around me and a stack of magazines. A sunny sky, a blue ocean before me, and a cold Corona by my side…and life is good. ULS.ORG

ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECT

Passions & Interests The Academic Research Project Celebrated Its 5th Year, Looks to the Future Liggett’s Upper School curriculum is built around a four-year Academic Research Program that culminates with the Academic Research Project — a project in which students select a topic during their junior year and spend the next 18 months fully immersed in researching it. The project culminates with a Celebration of Research, which celebrated its fifth anniversary in May. Here is a look at some of the projects from the Class of 2017.

AMANI ’17

Amani Tolin was selected as the winner of Michigan’s 14th Congressional District Art Challenge. His artwork will hang in the halls of Congress until 2018.

Hampton University (Va.) Amani Tolin has two passions: art and animals. For his Academic Research Project, Tolin studied how the living conditions of dolphins are affected by humans. He portrayed his findings in a visual art presentation. “Since I was a child I’ve always had a fascination with animals,” Tolin says. “It was natural for me to gravitate toward researching marine animals for my project.” Tolin’s research, coupled with review of the movie Blackfish, a documentary on SeaWorld’s treatment of dolphins and whales, is what drove him to explore potential dangers dolphins face from humans. “Dolphins are meant to be in the open ocean with their pods,” Tolin says. “They go through a lot of stress

when they’re kept in captivity and forced to socialize with humans.” Tolin was surprised to find that effects from humans in the wild can be just as dangerous as captivity for dolphins. His research found that pollution from sewage, chemicals and oils harms their main food source — other fish. Overfishing and increased boat traffic also disrupts their food source, making them more susceptible and dependent on humans. While feeding dolphins may seem innocent or even generous, it causes major changes in their behavior and is harmful to their stomachs, Tolin found. During his research Tolin stumbled upon research on a dolphin nicknamed “Beggar.” Beggar earned his name because of his tendency to swim up to boats and beg for food.

When he died in 2012, an autopsy discovered Beggar was covered in boat wounds, his stomach was full of fishing hooks and he was severely dehydrated — all factors resulting from human contact. “Beggar’s story highlights the importance of having regulations for human and dolphin contact,” Tolin says. Through graphite pencil drawings, Tolin conveyed the problems with human and dolphin interaction for his final presentation. “If I could emotionally or mentally move just one person with my artwork, then my goal was reached,” he says. Tolin plans to study marine biology at Hampton University in Virginia, where he has received a full scholarship. ULS.ORG

EVAN MARQUARDT ’17 University of Chicago

Evan Marquardt saw the renaissance happening in Detroit and used it as inspiration for his Academic Research Project. Marquardt focused his project on gentrification, the process of changing an urban area to fit the standards and higher incomes of more affluent residents. He investigated his assumptions of gentrification in Detroit and developed a hypothesis on how it adversely affects those with lower incomes.

Marquardt’s research on Detroit gave him an advantage at the Student Michigan Association of Planning at Michigan State University, where he was the only high school student invited to present. He says the level of preparation required for Liggett’s research project made him feel prepared, well-versed and comfortable speaking in front of a large audience.

PERSPECTIVE

“I noticed that a lot of outer neighborhoods in Detroit are ignored,“ Marquardt says. “Areas like Midtown and downtown, in the city center, are seeing a large investment of money and people moving in, while the outskirts are being forgotten or demolished.” Marquardt’s research led him to a housing project in Washington, D.C., called Barry Farm, a low-income neighborhood undergoing major redevelopment. Its goal is to bring in mixed income residents, revamp the current living conditions and create mentoring projects without the high-end retail and housing developments that displace lower-income residents. Marquardt’s hypothesis is that this process of revitalization can be used in Detroit to more positively affect all residents in the city. “A lot of what needs to happen in Detroit is repurposing the area,” Marquardt says. “Not necessarily building expensive houses and high-priced shops, but rather reinventing the space to aid the entire community.” Marquardt is attending the University of Chicago in Illinois, focusing on the history of law and how it can impact cities. Marquardt plans to later pursue a law degree, and because of his project, he is confident in his ability to study hard and succeed in the program.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECT

JOVANA DJOKOVIC ’17 Princeton University

Jovana Djokovic found a way to harvest rainwater to charge cell phones, and her efforts were recognized by the judges at the Science and Engineering Fair in Detroit. Djokovic’s research is part of her Academic Research Project, the cornerstone of Liggett’s Curriculum for Understanding and the culmination of a year and a half of research on a chosen topic. For her project, Djokovic created a turbine that collects water that falls off the roof of McCann Ice Arena on Liggett’s campus. The turbine is installed into the downspouts, with wiring installed into the ice arena to create a public cell phone charging station.

DANIEL KATZ ’17 University of Michigan

Daniel Katz is attending the University of Michigan in the fall to study engineering. He says the time dedicated to his Academic Research Project gave him a better understanding of the engineering field and how it can be used to fix environmental issues. “My project was inspired by global water conservation efforts,” Katz says. “But after talking to my school’s hockey rink manager I saw an opportunity to produce positive environmental and economic benefits at Liggett.” Katz discovered that the school’s Zamboni, a machine used to clean and smooth the surface of an ice rink, uses a large amount of water.

“This is an important global issue, and rain water is an important source of energy,” she explains, adding that she chose McCann because it has a large roof that is approximately 12 feet tall.

He found that the Zamboni consumes 200 gallons of water each time it is used. In the winter months, the Zamboni is used up to 11 times a day at a rate of 2,200 gallons of fresh water daily.

Djokovic, who always has been interested in environmental science, says she came up with the idea while attending a special class on energy renewal at Brown University last summer.

Seeing an opportunity to conserve water and reduce the school’s expense, Katz proposed a plan to use rain water. He created a system that used slanted gutters on the hockey building to direct rainfall into a storage tank. The tank has a hose that connects to the Zamboni, much like a rain barrel.

At the science and engineering fair, she was visited by approximately 14 judges who found her project and its research significant and recommended that she present at the state fair in Flint. Djokovic was accepted to four colleges — Princeton University, Clarkston University in New York, Kalamazoo College and the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering. She is attending Princeton this fall.

“The idea is not to run the Zamboni on rainwater alone,” Katz says. “But the rainwater would significantly reduce the amount of city water consumed during each use.” Katz estimates about 182,000 gallons of water can be conserved during an average year of rainfall and it will save Liggett roughly $7,000 per year.

“A mandate for the program is to make sure each student is reaching out to an expert in their field outside of the school. Whether they work with experts at the Henry Ford Innovation Institute, the cultural studies department at Wayne State University or the National Theatre of the Deaf, these opportunities allow for authentic research and validation.” – Shernaz Minwalla, assistant head of Upper School and ARP director at Liggett

Working Together By Claire Charlton

Mentorship and collaboration enhance the Academic Research Project. Tony Pan is a senior at Liggett. Like his classmates, he’s in the thick of his Academic Research Project, the two-year cornerstone experience that gathers together his exploration, critical thinking, reasoning and research skills to solve a problem, answer a question or support a theory. In tandem with his passion for mitigating the effects of climate change, Tony has zeroed in on renewable energy to frame his ARP. “My initial goal was to improve the efficiency of fuel cell cars,” Tony says, sharing that he worked through his initial interests and goals with the help of Shernaz Minwalla, assistant head of Upper School and ARP director at Liggett. “During my preliminary research, I found out that fuel cells and hydrogen production is very inefficient.” Tony needed more answers, so he reached out to other teachers at Liggett, tapping his physics teacher, Scott Brunner, for deeper understanding.

incubated an understanding of the value of collaboration and mentorship, a critical byproduct of the ARP. “A mandate for the program is to make sure each student is reaching out to an expert in their field outside of the school,” Minwalla says. “Whether they work with experts at the Henry Ford Innovation Institute, the cultural studies department at Wayne State University or the National Theatre of the Deaf, these opportunities allow for authentic research and validation.” Brunner pointed Tony toward graphene supercapacitors, which charge faster than traditional batteries. “I liked his suggestion and changed my topic. After another round of research, I found that graphene is hard to make and supercapacitors hold much less energy than batteries, so now my project is focused on producing graphene at a large scale and low cost while improving their ability to store energy,” he says.

“I am hoping that I can build a product for my ARP, and I cannot do that without mentors,” he says. Product development may seem ambitious, but not for Tony, who excels as a leader in Liggett’s Knight Vision robotics team, even mentoring the Middle School team players. To tap the knowledge of someone who has been there, Minwalla linked Tony to Alec Josaitis, a 2013 Liggett grad whose own ARP embedded GPS and GSM technologies in a mobile tracking device intended for use in a vehicle. Alec, who just finished his bachelor’s degree in Honors Physics at the University of Michigan, was delighted to help. “I saw that Alec and Tony have the same mindset—to seek knowledge and be excellent, well-rounded students,” Minwalla says. Alec’s ARP prepared him for the high-level research work he would go on to do at Michigan, and as one of just five American students to spend a semester at the particle physics lab at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. Alec will continue to study cosmology at the graduate level, fully confident in research skills he learned completing his ARP. “Being comfortable talking to and asking unhindered questions around a teacher or professor is crucial for research. Liggett went miles toward getting me comfortable to ask some of the big questions,” Josaitis says. “Also, having the chance to sit down and holistically complete a project makes you better prepared for taking on a large project at university. [Because of the ARP], the concept was not foreign at all, and that’s great.” While Josaitis and Tony have pursued STEM subjects, other students select art, culture and humanities topics to complete an ARP with the same rigor and depth. “The most valuable thing was learning how to write a prospectus, which forced me to sit and cogently say this is what I’d like to do, which is very different from writing an essay. Here’s a project that has meaning and I’m going to convince you that it’s worthy of doing,” Josaitis says.

Alec Josaitis ‘13, back row right, worked with Tony on his ARP. The Class of 2013 was the first to go through the ARP program.

Tony will join his peers to present his ARP in May 2018 during Liggett’s annual Celebration of Research, an event that draws alumni back home to experience project presentations, and to provide feedback to the department about how the ARP best helped them in further academic work.

Next year, Tony will join his peers to present his ARP during Liggett’s annual Celebration of Research, an event that draws alumni back home to experience project presentations, and to provide feedback to the department about how the ARP best helped them in further academic work. “I never thought I could make an impact and some day develop cutting-edge technology,” Tony says. “The research skills I learned helped me absorb knowledge from scholarly articles and scientific journals, rather than from Twitter or YouTube. It makes me an expert on the topic that I study, so I can influence others by telling them about my project.” ULS.ORG

PERSPECTIVE: OFFICE OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS

Philanthropy is a rapidly changing field. When I began my career in fundraising, we didn’t have email campaigns, online giving or crowdfunding to help us raise money. We didn’t have social media to share donor stories and highlight our students and their achievements. When we wanted to know what our colleagues at other schools and nonprofits were doing, we called them on the phone to ask. Back then, we raised funds for our mission through word of mouth or a print mailing – and the best part of any day was when a large stack of mail landed on our desk! But technology has changed the way that many of us work, and the field of philanthropy is no different. Today, we can reach our friends and donors in multiple ways, and in the time that it takes to send out an email we can keep thousands of our families, alumni and friends up-to-date on the latest happenings on our campus. We also know, though, that many of us can feel overwhelmed by the constant information and requests we get from organizations whose missions touch our hearts. Recognizing that, we are pleased to announce a significant change in the way that we reach out to donors in support of one of our most important annual initiatives – the Annual Fund campaign. This school year we are launching our “Because of You...” campaign, which is designed to highlight the ways that our donors make a difference in the success of our school. This year’s campaign will also be structured a bit differently than in years’ past. At the start of the school year, we will be asking parents to take part in a six-week Annual Fund campaign, the only time this school year that they will be asked to make a gift to the Annual Fund. After that six-week campaign concludes, we will broaden the campaign and begin asking our alumni and friends to support the “Because of You...” campaign (more on that later!). But for those first six weeks, parents will have a special opportunity to make their gift – and then they won’t be asked again to provide a gift to the 2017-18 Annual Fund. Is it a new twist on our annual giving campaign? Yes. Does it make us a bit nervous? You bet. But as the field of philanthropy changes and grows, we need to stay innovative and try new ways of encouraging our donors to give. I hope that we can count on your support for this new initiative! I would welcome an opportunity to share more with you about the changes in the philanthropy field and how Liggett is exploring new ways that our friends and supporters can help our school. Please feel free to contact me at any time at khamilton@uls.org or 313-884-4444, Ext. 410.

May 23, 2017 The Liggett community said their goodbyes to longtime head of school Dr. Joseph P. Healey and demonstrated how much his decade of leadership has meant to them. A special campaign to name the Stadium Field in Dr. Healeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor raised more than $2.9 million from parents, alumni, faculty and staff. As the school year drew to a close, the Liggett community had an opportunity to wish Dr. Healey well in his retirement during a series of gatherings including a special picnic for Liggett families, an evening of many hugs and tears.

Generations of University Liggett School alumni have gone on to do great things in life. So too will generations to come. Because once a journey of discovery has begun, it never ends.

Teamwork Robotics takes first place at district championship. By Rebecca Wall

University Liggett School senior Tony Pan became a Dean’s List finalist during the Liggett robotics team’s surprising come-from-behind victory at the district competition in April. The Dean’s List finalist honor, an individual student award – as well as the team’s first-place win at districts – comes at a time when the Liggett FIRST robotics team is the best it’s ever been. The team took first place at the district competition in Livonia and won the district Chairman’s Award, which recognizes the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate.

PERSPECTIVE

Scouts from the Farmington Hills team, who had been watching the qualification matches, recognized that Liggett had a strong robot and skipped over higherranking teams to form an alliance with Knight Vision and Carmen-Ainsworth High School.

Pan was the only student to be a Dean’s List finalist at the event and is the first member of Liggett’s Knight Vision robotics team ever to receive this award. “This is only the second year that Tony has been a part of FIRST, and he has contributed as much to the program as most team members have in three years,” says robotics faculty advisor Kimberly Galea. “Tony enthusiastically joined Knight Vision when he arrived at Liggett in January 2016 after spending his freshman and first semester of sophomore years at another school. Since then, he has become increasingly involved and committed to the program, despite being the only junior on the team.” After learning as much as he could about robotics last year, Pan volunteered this year to work as a mentor to the Liggett Middle School FIRST Tech Challenge teams. “Tony spent numerous Saturdays working with the Middle School students and attended the qualification event with the teams. Tony never hesitated when he was asked to meet one more time or come in for a longer practice on Saturday; he was eager to support the program and ensure the success of these students,” Galea says. At the district competition, after the qualification rounds, Knight Vision was ranked 37th out of 41 teams and it looked like the team would be done competing for the day. After qualification rounds, the eight top-ranked teams select two teams to compete with them in the playoffs as part of an alliance. “We were actually playing much better than our ranking,” Galea says. Scouts from the Farmington Hills team, who had been watching the qualification matches, recognized that Liggett had a strong robot and skipped over higherranking teams to form an alliance with Knight Vision and Carmen-Ainsworth High School. The alliance advanced to the finals against the second-ranked team of Livonia, Novi and Laker high schools, which had not lost a single match. The two alliances split their first two matches, leading to a tiebreaker. One point made the difference with Liggett’s alliance on top. Liggett advanced to the FIRST State Competition at Saginaw Valley State University.

The Knights baseball team plays at Comerica Park during a special benefit game. By Michelle Franzen Martin

Two of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most storied high school baseball teams played against each other at Comerica Park in May during a special game to benefit the Michigan Veterans Foundation and American Heart Association.

PERSPECTIVE

“This is a way for our players to reach out and thank everyone who has served our country and that has had to deal with cardiovascular disease, heart attack or stroke. This game is about love and our way of giving back.” - Dan Cimini, basaeball head coach

The University Liggett School Knights took on western Michigan’s Homer High School Trojans in the first-ever Memorial Day Heart Classic. The event was presented by the Atanas and Patricia Ilitch Foundation. All proceeds from the game benefited two charities that are important to Liggett baseball Coach Dan Cimini, Homer baseball Coach Scott Salow, and Atanas and Patricia Ilitch: the Michigan Veterans Association and Michigan Heart Association. Both Cimini and Salow have survived major heart surgeries – Cimini in 2011, and Salow in 2009 – and their rebound is an inspiration to their high school communities. “These two baseball programs are led by men of character who are great mentors and ambassadors of our state and who exude a courage and strength that is extraordinary,” Atanas Ilitch says. “They remind me of the love, heart and grit that my father exemplified. This game gives back to the community and celebrated the spirit of the heart, courage, strength and wellness. “ The game brought together two of the state’s best baseball teams – Liggett has won four state championships since 2011 (2011, 2013, 2014, 2016) and is the only team in state history to appear in four consecutive state championship games. And Liggett, which moved to Division I in the 2016-2017 school year, is the only team in state history to win back-to-back state championships while moving up a division. Homer holds a national record – 75 consecutive wins – and is the only team in state history to be inducted into the Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame. The team won two state championships (2004 and 2006). “This is was just a game; it was a way to give back to two fantastic associations, the American Heart Association and the Michigan Veterans Association, which mean a great deal to me, Coach Salow and the Atanas and Patricia Ilitch family,” Cimini says. “This was a way for our players to reach out and thank everyone who has served our country and that has had to deal with cardiovascular disease, heart attack or stroke. This game was about love and our way of giving back.” ULS.ORG

“Liggett has a friendly environment for everyone - it does not matter who you are. You are welcomed.” – Summer Orlowski ‘22

Middle School Pushed Me

Academically, Socially and Physically By Summer Orlowski ‘22

At the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, I was a new sixth-grader entering a new school. I was nervous about what to expect, but my experience at University Liggett School has been extraordinary.

The teachers are simply amazing. I don’t have enough words to explain how fantastic they are. They make learning engaging and fun. You’re not sitting all day long with your face buried in a textbook everyday.

I came to Liggett leaving all of my teachers and close friends. I was scared to come because I had to make all new friends, I had never been to a private school and I had no clue what I was getting myself into.

You’re doing hands-on projects and experiments, even in classes that you wouldn’t expect to have hands-on activities. The teachers always have a smile on their faces and are so supportive. They are always so positive; every teacher always puts a smile on my face, which creates a positive, supportive learning environment.

As nervous as I was, I was also so excited to come and meet new friends, new teachers, and be in a whole new environment. Many of my friends were not supportive of me switching to a new school, which only made me more nervous. After my first year, I’ve realized that Liggett has a friendly environment for everyone – it does not matter who you are. You are welcomed. In addition to being at a new school, I was in my first year in middle school. I had never switched classes. I had no clue what different letters for each school day meant, but I quickly realized the letter system is really convenient – you get to switch classes every day so you don’t have the same class every morning. 42

PERSPECTIVE

The students at Liggett are incredible. Everyone at Liggett is your friend. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s true. I came to Liggett knowing no one. I had no friends, nothing, but after my first year I had more friends than I ever had. The sports program here is amazing. I had never played volleyball before and just playing it for one season, I know so much more about it. The coaches and your teammates push you to your limits to make you better. I really enjoyed the sports program so much this year. All of my fears and my worries are gone, and I can’t wait to see what happens during my next two years of middle school.

Faculty Emeritus Gene Overton

Keeps Giving

His decades-long commitment to teaching and athletics continues. By Claire Charlton

When D. Eugene “Gene” Overton interviewed to join the University Liggett School teaching faculty, the head of the Upper School asked him which sport he’d be interested in coaching. This was 1968, at the very start of a teaching career that would span 37 years. Though he’d never played a sport and had never been on a team, Overton remained positive about his ability to contribute to Liggett athletics in some way.

“They (students) knew I had their back, and I kept my expectations high. They knew if they were having trouble, I’d help them out, and I’d help them meet their goals. Students respond well when they know you as an individual.” – Gene Overton

From the beginning, he was all in. “I told the principal I had no experience, but could find a way to support in another fashion,” Overton says. Overton became an integral part of the basketball team. “For the next 36 years I ran the scorebook for boys’ basketball, and when the girls got a team, I did that too. Of all the games, home and away, I might have missed half a dozen in 36 years.” For his commitment and service, Overton was inducted into the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan Hall of Honor in 1994. He also was inducted into the University Liggett School Hall of Fame in 2013. During the spring athletic seasons, Overton fired the starting pistol for the track team. “Then I got connected to girls’ softball, and I videotaped the games.” To this day, Overton regularly records softball games, and attends regional and district tournaments, even though he retired from Liggett in 2005. Though he winters in Florida, Overton travels to Orlando to meet the softball team when they train at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World. “I’ve been doing that for a long time. I videotape the practice sessions, and that program has really helped our team start the season ready to go. We have been fairly successful in softball,” he says. Liggett’s moderate school size and framework of encouragement toward athletics allowed students to be active team players, says Overton. “We had some talented players now and then,” he says. “It was a small enough school so if you went out for the team, you got a chance to play, and played fairly consistently. I liked that aspect of it.”

As a chemistry and physical sciences teacher, mainly in the Upper School, Overton enjoyed the small class sizes, and the confidence the administration had in him to develop an engaging curriculum. “They gave me free reign in the classroom and 24-hour access, so I could spend time during the evenings and weekends prepping for labs,” he says. Consistent faculty and parent support throughout the years was demonstrated in the academic capability of the students. “They were all pretty talented, and fairly academically inclined. I was also impressed by the whole faculty while I was there, top caliber people, and it showed,” he says. “I could tell the students who had the veteran teachers because they could take notes and pay attention.” The opportunity to have an out-of- classroom bond with students through athletics made teaching easier for Overton. “They knew I had their back, and I kept my expectations high. They knew if they were having trouble, I’d help them out, and I’d help them meet their goals,” he says. “Students respond well when they know you as an individual.” Ask Overton about his long and successful career at Liggett – during which he touched the lives of as many as 1,500 students – and he offers pure humility. “My intention was to always support outside activities. I was a supporter of music and the performing arts. The best way to show support for students was not only in the classroom, but in their extracurricular efforts, too,” he says. “I was fortunate to be at Liggett and I think everyone there thought I did a good job.” ULS.ORG

Stories of

Sisterhood Sisters find strength in their uniqueness.

By Claire Charlton

Two sisters, two University Liggett School student athletes, two paths and one bond. Paula Mighion Cornwall ‘84, and her sister Kristine Mighion ‘82, say they couldn’t be more different, yet their individual skills and interests have always complemented each other. At Liggett, Kristine pursued field hockey and lacrosse, while Paula dedicated herself to tennis. Kristine played both field hockey and lacrosse all four years, making the varsity lacrosse team her freshman year and the varsity field hockey team her junior year. She credits the skills and discipline she learned on the field to her subsequent successes in life. Paula played tennis for fun during her Liggett middle school years, and maintained the No. 1 singles spot each year during high school, a record she holds even today. She also made the Michigan All-State academic tennis team all four years. She qualified for the Western Closed Tournament of Southeast Michigan while at Liggett, and was elected to the Prince All-American Team her senior year. Paula led her team to the State Class C finals and was the No. 1 singles State Champion in 1983. She was 44

PERSPECTIVE

selected to the First Team All-State Tennis Teams, Class C All-State Teams, and was elected MVP by her teammates. Under Paula’s leadership, the girls’ varsity tennis team won the state championship four consecutive years. The team finished in the top 10 in the state for all classes at the end of each season. Like Kristine, all of this Paula accomplished through hard work and dedication. “It’s the same academically, too, because they go handin-hand. Whether it’s hitting tennis balls or working out math formulas, I really learned how to organize my time,” she says. Paula was inducted into the 2015 University Liggett School Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame. “It was such an honor to be acknowledged,” Paula says. “They did a nice reception and a lot of former teammates came to support me. And, of course, Kristine introduced me.”

“I remember Liggett being a phenomenal place to learn and grow. We were exposed to excellence in all disciplines and courses — history, literature, the sciences, and math at all levels.” – Kristine Mighion ‘82

Kristine’s pride in her sister’s accomplishments still shines. “I’m so proud that she decided to play a sport that she loved and she committed herself to,” says Kristine. “She gave up weekends and got up early in the mornings for tournaments; she persevered and she succeeded.” Engaged in solo efforts, each sister knew she had someone in her corner to cheer her on. “We were each other’s best supporters, not rivals,” Paula says. “We excelled in different things, which was nice.” Paula still plays tennis weekly and for the past 10 years has coached the girls’ junior varsity tennis team at Grosse Pointe South. “I started when my daughter was a freshman and they needed a junior varsity coach,” Paula says. “She went on to varsity, but I surprised myself and continued with JV. When she graduated, I thought I would stop, but I enjoyed it. It’s a way to give back to the community and be with younger girls who enjoy tennis and have a great outlook on life.” Just to keep busy, Paula also coaches varsity field hockey at Grosse Pointe North during the fall months. After graduating from Liggett, Paula studied history at the University of Michigan, the school her husband, Christopher, her parents Harry and Venus Mighion, and her two children, Alexa and Andrew, also attended.

to enter the workforce, applying her skills in health care consulting. “I love designing solutions to complex problems,” she says. After working for a year, Kristine started an MBA in finance at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Upon graduation, she worked for a corporate bank before returning to healthcare consulting – the call to medicine was strong. “I’d enjoyed the business jobs I’d had and the roles I’d played, but still had that yearning for the complement of clinical medicine.” Kristine chose to study medicine at Loyola University Chicago because its hospital-based learning appealed to her given her work experience. She finished medical school in 1999 during the technology boom, and joined a startup designing an electronic medical record app for physicians. Today, she focuses on patient safety and quality improvement as CEO of the consulting subsidiary of the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. She also heads up HealthCon Corp, her own consulting and physician placement firm based in Chicago. What the Mighion sisters do share is the wonderful academic foundation they built at Liggett.

In her college choice, “Kristine broke the mold,” Paula laughs.

“I remember Liggett being a phenomenal place to learn and grow,” Kristine says. “We were exposed to excellence in all disciplines and courses — history, literature, the sciences, and math at all levels.”

Fascinated by human physiology from childhood, Kristine set herself on course to become a medical doctor, along the way pursuing a unique route. She matriculated at Princeton University to study pre-med, and also majored in economics.

Like Kristine, Paula felt prepared for higher education. “Liggett offered me a great education. When I went to college I was so prepared and I didn’t find it as hard as others did. At Liggett, we really learned to write well,” Paula says.

“I realized that economics was a knowledge base that I could use no matter what I did in life. It was new and challenging at first, but three semesters in, I decided to major in it,” Kristine says.

A member of the University Liggett Alumni Board, Paula works to keep fellow Liggett alumni connected to the school.

At Princeton, Kristine continued her love of sports. Senior year, she added squash to her sports repertoire and made the women’s varsity team. Upon graduation, Kristine was accepted into advanced degrees in management and health care economics at both Oxford and the London School of Economics, but decided

“This is important because it lends a history to the school, and with that history comes a sense of accomplishment and learning,” Paula says. “The success stories from the past help with the success stories of the future. Liggett has many accomplished graduates and it’s important that they make this connection with students to share their experiences and inspire them to aim high.” ULS.ORG

Dear Alumni, I hope you are enjoying this issue of Perspective, which celebrates a “day in the life” of University Liggett School and also the daily goings-on of some of our dynamic alumni who are doing amazing things all over the country. A typical day in my life as an Alumni Relations director is anything but typical – and can include all kinds of things like impromptu visits from former teachers and students, as well as emails and phone calls from alumni with updates regarding new homes, jobs, babies and grand babies. Occasionally I’ll get requests for archival information (“can you verify when my aunt graduated from The Liggett School?”) and we are happy to dig up historical facts and details for you, if the need arises. Plus I’m always in the process of planning and hosting events for alumni here in the Detroit area and across the country. I spend a great deal of time thinking of ways to engage you, our alumni, in ways that remind you of your important connection to the school. There are many exciting things going on here and we want you to know about the teachers and students who make each day here on Cook Road worthwhile and productive. Just like in your day, this school teems with life, laughter and of course learning!

“Now as she enters the Upper School this fall, she is confident and excited and already feels like she belongs. She has Upper School friends that treat her like one of them. We really love Liggett and are looking forward to the next four years.” - Terrie and Mike McLauchlan

The Middle School Was a Great

Fit For Our Daughter By Terrie and Mike McLauchlan

While Lily was in fifth grade at Monteith Elementary School and the second of our older boys was just finishing his senior year in the Grosse Pointe Public Schools. We started to think about looking for an alternative with smaller class sizes for Lily ‘21. On a whim, we attended an open house at Liggett and we were glad we did. Lily wanted to stay in public school with her friends, but about halfway through the presentation, she leaned over to me and whispered, “I would go here!” During the open house we learned about Liggett’s curriculum, which was unique to us and seemed like a great fit for Lily. It was a difficult and emotional decision to move a child entering middle school, but the students made Lily feel like part of the Liggett community from day one. She has wonderful, supportive friends. The Middle School at Liggett is great in so many ways. We love that it’s in its own space but still part of the Pre-K through 12 campus. The academic support is exceptional. Help is always there if you need it. And, the morning meeting is such a great way to start their day. There have been so many opportunities for Lily to utilize her leadership skills. She has loved being able to participate in the Upper School performances as a Middle School student. Now as she enters the Upper School this fall, she is confident and excited and already feels like she belongs. She has Upper School friends that treat her like one of them. We really love Liggett and are looking forward to the next four years.

Liggett Class Representative: Barbara Allen Esler P. O. Box 272 Shannon, GA 30172 Rebecca “Becky” Patterson Hein: One of Becky’s daughters recently moved from Grosse Pointe to Pittsburgh, due to a job opportunity. Emily Hardy Bradbury, lives in Palmerton, Penn., has a daughter, Ann, also living in Pittsburgh. The two have gotten together and become close friends. In April, they planned a mother/daughter weekend and Becky and Emily joined them. Becky also reported that she sees Cynthia Keydel Huebner at least once a week.

‘lost’ several members of our class, but ultimately was able to locate them. While I was in Michigan, Sue and I got together every several months and talked in between. This was bothering me. Ultimately I found a ‘lead’ and following it, found that Sue and Jack had moved into an assisted living apartment. I got the address and phone and talked to Sue one evening in late May. I immediately sent her a letter and mailed a birthday card to Jack. Both came back as undeliverable. Calls to the number on which I talked with Sue go directly to voice mail. However, when I sent letters to the entire class asking for information for this ‘report,’ Sue’s has not come back! I will continue trying. Judith “Judy” Hubbard Hutchinson: Judy is spending time traveling this summer. Judy spent five days in Davis, Calif., when her youngest son’s daughter graduated from Davis School of Independent Studies and had a lovely time with her family. In June, she visited friends from her Alaskan days who now live in Rhode Island. From there she travelled to Adelynrood Retreat and Conference Center, northeast of Boston, for ten days, and then took the train to Old Saybrook, Conn., to visit her older sister, Jane Keydel. Judy says, “I am glad to be able to travel and be with friends/family who tap into bye-gone days and to reminisce with them. I continue to enjoy living in the Pacific Northwest, especially here on the Columbia River near the Cascade mountains with all its recreational opportunities. Life is good!” Lynn Harris Tindle: Judy Hutchinson reported earlier this spring that Lynn had moved from her condo to an assisted living apartment. I have

There are seven other surviving classmates from whom I heard nothing: Mary Anne, Theresa, Jane, Carolyn, Joan, Pat and Dorothy. However, letters sent to them have not been returned, so I guess that is good news in itself. This spring has been both a sad and a happy one for us in Georgia. Sadly, my son-in-law, Mark McAllister, passed away in January, after a brief illness. (Editor: Daughter, Rebecca (Becky) Anne Ulrich McAllister ’79 was a member of the class of 1979 along with Lee Ford ‘79 and others from pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.) Barbara Allen Esler: When I was planning my move from Michigan to Georgia, one comment I made to Becky was, “What about music?” Having spent six summers at National Music Camp, Interlochen, from eighth grade through the summer after I graduated from Liggett and having sung in church choirs all my life, Rackham Symphony Choir, etc., this is important to me. The tiny church we attend is too small for even a choir, much less hand bells. Occasionally a group of four of us, two sopranos and two altos, will sing a hymn together in front of the church. The first full Saturday I was in Georgia after my move, Becky introduced me to a group who gather to sing Gospel hymns each week. This grew to my joining them for two more singings each week at various locations. Three times a week plus church on Sunday, this was more than choir rehearsal one evening a week and Sunday church! But, through a friend of Becky’s, I am now singing with the Three Rivers Singers, a community chorus directed by a professor from one of the many colleges/universities here in Rome, Ga. I have now sung two concerts with them, “If It Isn’t Baroque, Don’t Fix It” – music of Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Purcell, and Pachelbel – and a patriotic one just before Memorial Day.

CLASS NOTES

The ‘icing on my cake,’ however, came the last weekend of April. That weekend Becky, my grandson Sean, and I drove to Norfolk, Va., where my granddaughter, Tiffany, and her husband, Christopher, both career Navy, have been for three years. We spent the day at Colonial Williamsburg and attended the Virginia International Tattoo, a ceremonial performance of military music by massed bands. We had groups from Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and, of course, the United States. And the highlight of the trip, Granddaughter, Tiffany, was commissioned a Chief Warrant Officer. Christopher, Becky, Sean and I all had small parts in the ceremony, which was followed by a reception. They will head to their next duty station in Hawaii. Tiffany has been in the Navy for nineteen years and with this new commission, will probably be in for 30.

1954

Liggett Class Representative: Valerie Oppenheim Hart 6849 S Clayton Street Mount Dora, FL 32757-7024 calicat36@comcast.net 2016 was a year of Passage for several members of the class of 1954. Valerie Hart: My Buddy (Robert) went “home” in November after a long and painful illness leaving three children and four grandchildren with treasured memories of honesty, strength of character and success, but most of all

his love and dedication to his family. He was my partner, best friend, and soul mate for almost 58 years. We were so very blessed that I can only be grateful for everything we had. I have just returned from Cornell University where our granddaughter, Blair, graduated with honors. She is third generation Cornellian and the family gathered 20 strong to cheer her on to her job with Boeing in California. Lynn White: Lynn lost her Bob (Raymond) after 54 years when he suffered a stroke. She and Bob visited Florida every year during spring break since 1975. In 1996, they built their house on Siesta Key and lived there until 2014 when they moved to the elegant retirement community, Glenn Ridge. “He was always the treasure in my life whose memories keep me smiling.” She continues to serve on the vespers committee to bring a different pastor to her church every two weeks. She also helps with memorials and funerals as well as tutoring young people at the church as she did for twenty-three years. Her grandchildren bring her pride and joy. Riley, an avid lacrosse player, will enter college in the fall, and John is in his second year at Fairfield, a Jesuit school in Connecticut. Janet Jones Bagley: When I telephoned Janet, her husband said she was very ill. Our prayers are with her and her family. Carol Silverman: So Amazing! She continues to show Dobermans to the American Kennel Club for standard confirmation while recovering from shoulder replacement surgery after tripping over one of her dog beds. Her career of 35 years of medical sales to veterinarians led her into this new chapter of her life. It is the definition of “growing bolder.” Joyce Lovisa Rogers: In reflection, I am in awe with the realization that it was 63 years ago in June that we graduated from Liggett. How quickly the years but what a joy to still have the opportunity to stay in touch with classmates. Since our last class news was published, I have enjoyed seeing several Liggett friends. We had dinner and a wonderful visit with Martha (Mack) Day and husband, Charles, following our Columbia River Cruise in October 2015. Wedding pictures were shared as well as updates of our lives and families. I am able to

see Carol (Larsen) Marantic when we occasionally return to the Detroit area. Bob passed away a year ago after a long illness. She recently sold her Grosse Pointe home and is enjoying decorating her new apartment at the Shore Club in St. Clair Shores. I was delightfully surprised to receive a telephone call from Susan (Alles) Carter about a year ago. After the death of Ford, she moved to Traverse City to live with her sister, Nancy, who was also widowed. This was a pact they made many years ago. She has encountered several major health issues but is dealing with the challenges. I am looking forward to our next lunch date. On a personal note, Bruce and I have been fortunate to be able to travel and enjoy a few months in Florida each year. Our lives now seem to center around family, especially grandchildren. Three are married and have made us “great grands” for eight. Granddaughters: Katie, will be married in California in July, Marisa graduated from college in April and is applying to grad school and Mikaela is a college sophomore. Grandson, Bruce, is a baseball player and college senior. Last summer everyone was home for our family reunion – this year we will all be together at the wedding. We have been blessed. I am sorry to end my update on a sad note. Nancy (Walker) Kahle passed away in Florida in April last year. There was a remembrance gathering of friends and family in Florida and later at Lochmoor Club in Grosse Pointe. Nancy lost her youngest daughter several years ago and her oldest, Lois, shortly after her passing in April. Nancy was a dear friend and will be missed. Valerie writes: And, so we carry on with beautiful memories of our Liggett days when we were together, thankful for being able to enjoy each new day, and optimistic about the future of our children and country.

Joan LeGro Bushnell: Joan sent a note in April indicating how she and others are celebrating. “Just back home from a wonderful 80th birthday bash-dinner in Honolulu with Harriett Davis Haritos ‘55 and her husband, Jerry. We spent one week in a beautiful condo two buildings away from Harriett, we could wave to each other, near Diamond Head with ocean views on three sides. We spent the next week in another condo on Maui. It was a perfect trip except for the 30 hour trip home. I received a birthday call, in March, from Susan who says she is tentatively planning a trip to Oahu next year. Lynn and Larry Scoville: Lynn and Larry moved recently to a retirement community near Charleston and are currently looking forward to another summer at their Grand Bend cottage, which is a couple of miles from mine. Gay and Dick Budinger: Gay and Dick are back in their Glen Lake home after their annual trek to Florida. I have tried to reach Mimi, who also left birthday messages, but I think the Dyers are sailing somewhere in the Bahamas or off the Keys, as they do every year about now. Kathy, by the way, flew to Los Angeles on the same flight as my first leg to Hawaii and spent a few days with family in Sunnyvale, Calif. before journeying to a resort in Palm Springs for her birthday celebration.

The Matt Mogk family lives in GP from May to November and in L.A. from November to May. Not a bad gig, for all.

Amsterdam and a conference in The Hague, both wonderful cities. Cheers to all! Stephanie Fink Donaldson: I am very involved with the Anglican Church here on the Canadian shore of Lake Huron. I am a delegate to Synod and beyond that in my 78th year I am in formation to be a Vocational Deacon in the Anglican Church, Diocese of Huron, See city – London, Ontario. A vocational deacon takes holy orders and vows obedience to one’s bishop. No, I will not be a nun and yes I can drink! If I am blessed with ordination I will be – hold on to your seats – The Reverend Stephanie (Fink) Donaldson. I will be required to wear a collar on certain occasions. A deacon is assigned to one parish/ congregation, in my case my ‘home’ church St. John’s-by-the-Lake, Grand Bend, Ontario. Priests move around, deacons stay put as the core of their ministry is outreach. Deacons are an ancient order, first mentioned in the Book of Acts, today they are a full and equal order. Deacons have defined roles in the liturgy, which I am already performing. I cannot tell you when this journey will end, if it ever does, and if it will end. Richard S. Bodman: I am also sorry to have missed the great 60th reunion and catching up with you all. I had my 60th last year (won’t bother you with that story any longer), but still would have enjoyed being with you. Your various notes have been fascinating and rewarding to learn of the diversity and high quality of your experiences and aspirations. Karna and I married for almost 26 years, have a small troop, 35 in all, of putative children and grandchildren due in part to earlier marriages and in part to having my brother, Harry’s three daughters grow up with us after his and his wife, Dotty’s death. As the last batch of those grandchildren are just coming out of colleges, we had a very busy month of May. As I sent a brief review of our lives before the 55th, I will add just a few things of the past 5 years. We still live in three places, Naples, Fla., Washington, D.C. and Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. We sold our house in Jackson Hole, Wyo. about six years ago and bought the one near San Diego in California. While I miss Wyoming very much in the summer,

Karna never liked the “cold”, so the move was a very good thing for her. The irony of that is while we chose Rancho Santa Fe to be nearer to our one remaining family group in California, all of our four boys were born in San Francisco, that remaining California family reminds us constantly how much they miss spending time in Jackson. Nevertheless, we are well involved in the wonderfully active RSF and San Diego communities. I have been enjoying my time on the boards of two remarkable and deep, basic research institutes - The Buck Institute for Research on Aging, TheBuck.org, and The La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, LJI.org. Both are involved in truly understanding what causes diseases and the truncation of our lives. The Buck has done much with Alzheimer’s, has contributed much to understanding why our good cells die off and leave opportunities for pathogenic cells to grow, and stem cells. The La Jolla Institute’s mission is “Life Without Disease”, and has convinced the NIH and other great institutions that with modern computing and work altering our DNA, we can teach our systems to think they have seen all diseases before. Hence our systems would be able to attack diseases before we even have symptoms. Also they have learned that drugs that treat everyone will soon be things of the past. Rather each of us will have our own, individual treatments to protect us. I have also been a co-founder and Chairman of PurThread Technologies, Inc. which make fibers for commercial and medical textile products that kill essentially all pathogens on a continuous basis. It has been a long haul, and we aren’t home yet, but you will be hearing much from either us or a growing number of competitors about this important field fairly soon. In a nutshell, there is no reason why a hospital should have dirty surfaces or have linens that spread infections. Ours (and others’) new fibers can continuously kill germs even if the fabrics are not washed. Amazing! Karna is still heavily engaged in writing her international political thrillers. She has four published, see karnabodman.com, and is adding a different genre with more romance involved and less killing. We both try to keep up with political events, but have been unsuccessful to date, in fixing the Country’s problems.

GPUS Class Representative Robin Duke Harris Russell 37 The Crossing Purchase, NY 10577 rdhr@fivewindsworkshop.com Julianne MacMillan Bockius lost her husband, Larry, last year at age 91, but she reports that she is doing well and still enjoying Delray Beach.

The GPUS Class of 1957 gathered in May for their 60th class reunion.

Lastly, we had our first joint baby this last Christmas. His name is Gambit (same as Karna’s first book). He owns us. All the best. Virginia Ryan: If only Michael and I could have been in two places at once. We missed the last big reunion and now we’ve missed this one - the dates conflicted with the graduation of our youngest grandson from college in Florida. Old friends seem to be the dearest, even though we don’t see each other for many years. We hope you all are doing well, are healthy and having fun. We are blessed in so many ways. We live quietly and peacefully on the river, but have our passions to pursue. I got back from Africa last week, initiating my project bringing water to 24 villages in the Uganda bush. I will travel to Korea in May, then back to Africa in Sept. Life is never dull.

Check out the article in the February Ridgefield Press delineating her incredible career! Susie Ryan Knapp and husband George enjoyed several weeks in Ireland this past summer, after which they drove from Florida to Susie’s family’s summer place in Maine and then, via the autotrain, to Canada to George’s family summer cottage. Susie is still playing lots of tennis and bridge. John Webster, and Susie, spend most of the summer at their “Northern digs” in Harbor Springs. Tom Smith and Paul and Nancy Webber Keeler joined them over the 4th – “great fun since it had been several years since our old travel partners have all gotten together”. Later in July saw a “busy cottage with fifteen in house” when John and Susie welcomed seven grandchildren and their parents. Jane Rueger Willis and Bill took a two-month cruise around South America and across the Pacific last winter. This summer they spent a week with their family in Hilton Head. Sadly I report that we have lost another classmate. Lynne Randall Battershell died on March 22 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Thanks to all of you who sent me your news, and an outgoing plea to those of you who didn’t to come up with something the next time around. Photos as well.

John Van De Graff: I was elected President of our Spicer Estates Home Owner’s Association this year, so I now have some community responsibility. I’m also involved in something called No Caboose! about early American railroad building and stock market speculation. Currently I’m finishing up a fantasy novel, which I hope to finish by the end of next year. The only other news is that our granddaughter lives in New Jersey and we decided to move there three years ago to be near her and watch her grow up! In the summer we enjoy all that is fun. I hope to see lots of classmates at our next class reunion. Mimi Amerson Bunton: Technically, I am not a graduate of GPUS, but the friends I remember most are. My, husband Tony, is dealing with pancreatic cancer, but his spirits are good and he is involved in being, what he fondly refers to me as “full plate Mimi”. I am in the DA King and the Daughters of the American Revolution, the former is a prayer and service group tied to Catholic and Episcopalian church. They are largely from communities driven from their homes and communities in Thailand. I was privileged enough to spend a portion of a summer there. I have two groups that keep me busy, so my life is full and busy. Penny Langston Alexander: Bob and I retired almost a year ago and eventually got used to it. We do some volunteer work, travel here and there for family events and play pickle ball for fun a few times a week. I play on a women’s basketball team that went to the Senior Games in Alabama this June. No we did not win any medals, but it was our fourth Senior Games entry in eight years. We have ten grandchildren from age 11 to 27 and one great-grandchild born in May. Life

is full of events and helping others, and we enjoy it all. We have not been back to Michigan since our last reunion, but we may head that way again to visit friends in the U.P. Best wishes to classmates! Stay healthy and maybe we’ll meet at another class reunion. Tina Gram: I am still teaching ceramics elective at Shady Hill, in Cambridge, Mass. I was able to take two weeks off in the spring to go to Japan with a friend and ceramic colleague. We made all the arrangements on our own, including hiring a special guide to artist studios and kilns in Shigaraki. The whole trip was fabulous and made all the more wonderful because it was a promise I’d made to myself to go over 40 years ago! Wishing all my classmates well. Patty Walbridge Ahlbrandt says that she recently moved to San Francisco and is settling in. Crazy big move and my daughter Julie lives here as well with her children and husband! J. Brooke Harrington and Judy Bing traveled to France where they drove about 1,900 kilometers along the Eastern Atlantic coast (Aquitaine, Brittany and Normandy) and had great meals of oysters, duck, various fish and many many, many wines. We actually lost weight on the trip. We made additional visits to Paris and London to spend time with friends and enjoyed more great meals. Susan White: I received news of the death of Tessie Hill from Bliss Caulkins Clark through Tina Gram in a letter from a friend of Tessie’s. Monday, May 15, 2017 Dear Friends and Family, Tessie is gone. I believe that’s what she would want me to say. As many of you know, she had little patience with euphemisms for death or spirituality in general. So to honor her preferences, I’d like to focus on the last part of her life and her grace in leaving it. The beautiful trail of love that all of you laid for her was built on by an astonishing group of caregivers at Durgin Pines. Her devotion to her was second only to Tom’s. We have been thanked by many now beloved staff members for sharing Tess with them. Such devotion is a testament to her honest, openness, sly humor and, in her final months, unprecedented gratitude. Despite a 66

PERSPECTIVE

recent precipitous decline that made phone conversations difficult, she still enjoyed visits from family and oldest friends. As late as Saturday, she conveyed the joy her loved ones brought her. Sister Meg, Meg’s daughter Emily and one of Tessie’s old pals, Deborah Lang, brightened her last moments of lucid consciousness. We celebrate that gift! On Sunday Tessie faded hour by hour. Tom and I were called back to the Pines at 11:30 p.m. Befitting his singular role in this last chapter of Tessie’s life, Tom was alone at her side when she died peacefully at 6:01 a.m. We have absolutely no doubt that Tessie cherished you all. The distances that kept most of you physically separated from her at the end of her life did not change that. I hope that you will find some simple way to remind yourselves of Tessie, play tennis or take a walk with friend, go to a play or listen to jazz, that way she’ll always stay where she lives now, in our hearts. Tom and I send our profound gratitude for all you did to enrich Tessie’s life. Karen and Tom What a truly beautiful tribute! Signing off for now and hopefully you are all happy and doing well. – Susan

1963 55th Reunion! Liggett Class Representatives: Sharon Litsky 2000 California Street #402 San Francisco, CA 94109-4302 sharonlitsky@sbcglobal.net

Gail Sake Niskar 30030 High Valley Road Farmington Hills, MI 48331-2143 galeml@aol.com Submitted by Sharon L. Litsky, Liggett Class of 1963 Sharon Litsky reminds all of us that “our Liggett class of 1963 will be having our 55th reunion May 18 and 19, 2018. We’re hoping that as many of us as possible can come back to celebrate together as we did for our 50th, which seems like yesterday.” Gail Sake Niskar relates that “We are all settled in Florida and are loving it. Although we were snowbirds for a number of years, it’s different when there is no home in Michigan to go back to. We miss the kids and the grandkids, but will be taking a trip

back up this summer to celebrate Howard’s 80th birthday with the family and friends. If you are ever in Boynton Beach, Florida please call. Would love it!” Carla Hoffman Levin writes what she calls “Short and sweet: Warm greetings to all from Chicago. Michael and I are enjoying the summer---working a bit less, playing tennis and, most of all, spending time with our three grandchildren (with another due in September.) in the city and, whenever possible, at our beach house in Michigan City. We continue to enjoy traveling. Our last trip (and one of the best) was to Namibia and South Africa. Warm regards to all.” Susan Heavner Becker tells us she has “Nothing exotic to report. Going on short trips this summer, mostly to visit family. Mike and I are both relatively well and that’s the most important thing, something we’ve all learned at this age. Brevard, North Carolina has a world-renowned Music Center, a camp for young people in the summer. It was one of the reasons we moved here and we continue to enjoy it, bringing back my fond memories of Interlochen.” Joan Willens Abraham reports that “This last year has been an active one for me. I have left the leisure of country living on the west side of Michigan and moved back to the Detroit area in November to once again pursue my professional goals in the area of online marketing and branding, reestablishing StyleBranding Inc. I am still teaching this subject matter at Parsons School of Design, which has kept me in the game and this year I had an exceptional prodigy student for two classes which was an enlightening experience as far as the future of online branding as well as a rare experience as an educator. “Coming back home to Detroit as an aging adult is another enlightening and somewhat difficult experience. Detroit is certainly a lot healthier since I left in 2012, and it is exciting to see the growth in the spirit of the city. “Being able to travel back to New York for work is exhilarating to say the least. It is with great hope, eternal optimism and a strong dose of confidence that I try to help the retail industry redirect their focus to the web environment as the most potent selling arena. So here’s to one big push toward entertaining the public through the fantasy of fashion!

CLASS NOTES

“Thank goodness my family is doing great; happy, healthy and beautiful (smart and funny too)! And my 95-year-old mother is as glamorous as ever.” Ellen Kuschinski Castleman states that “I keep busy between work and travel, raising funds for scholarships for students at Otis College of Art and Design. And playing with my three grandchildren, all boys ages five and identical three-year-olds. I just returned from an art trip to Washington D.C., visiting museums as well as private collections and artists’ studios. I had a lovely lunch with Sharon Litsky and her husband, John, in San Francisco saw Gloria Shenkman Cohen here in LA.” Patricia Frank adds what she says is “nothing too exciting, which at our age is probably good! What can I say, but ‘I’m still here!’? And still busy working with the same Tribal government on environmental and other community development projects. Also have been active with my flower group - the flowers are epiphyllum’s and the group is the San Diego Epiphyllum Society and we just had our awesome annual Mother’s Day show and sale in the gorgeous Balboa Park, one of San Diego’s jewels. The group maintains the “Epi House” at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park, where the epies are in full-bloom this time of year.” Gloria Shenkman Cohen shares that “I bought a condo at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, that my daughter and I are renovating. She is a very accomplished designer, so I am in good hands. I see Annette Lonyo Geddes often. I enjoyed a second Passover seder in Los Angeles and loved spending time in San Diego with my grandkids. When I’m in Los Angeles I spend time with Ellen Kuschinski Castleman. I’m in touch with Sally Ross Riley and Gail Sake Niskar. I’ve also run into Joan Willens Abrams. I saw Connie Wineman Jacob at a charity event last spring. She thinks we should have our 55th reunion in California but I think Florida would be better. I have room for 2 or 3 to stay in my condo plus Gail and Annette are there and Sally is only two hours away.” Tess Friedenberg Tessler says “I’m truly excited thinking about a trip to Michigan to see all of my 8th grade

and 9th grade friends. I’m thinking I would stay a day or so longer and see my cousin, and a few old Michigan friends. This will be a real blessing to me. It will be another chapter of my life that I get to reminisce after many years. There are so many things I still remember about Liggett School: May Day, field hockey, standing up when a teacher enters the room, the morning bus ride to school with Gilda Radner and others. God was good to me even if I only experienced it all for 1 1/2 years. Those were very important years for me and that school helped shape my life course. Quality... Honesty…Politeness. We are moving to Maple Falls, Washington this summer with “clean air, living in the mountains at 674 feet. Since I moved out of Michigan, I haven’t lived in any altitudes less than 6,500 feet. This will be very good to be at a lower altitude for my husband and my health. Jeffie Hughes Parker says that she “now has six grandchildren; three boys and three girls. My oldest daughter is moving to Florida from Maine. Lucky Grandma. My oldest has three- boy, girl, boy,--moving to the Daytona, Florida area from Maine, and middle daughter has two girls and a baby boy, nine weeks old as I type.” Joan Caplan Simon contributes that she “Can’t believe it will be our 55th reunion. Jack and I are still traveling quite a bit, enjoying the children and grandchildren. Kai, our oldest grandson, had a bar mitzvah last September. I’m still a serious yogini, just came in from dead heading roses and am trying to improve my bridge, not an area of expertise. I’m 99% retired from interior design and am appreciating more time and less stress. I’ll be anxious to hear all about the reunion.” Sharon Litsky reports of “lots more travel for me and John. We took a spectacular 12-day tour of Morocco, just the two of us, with private driver and private guide staying at elegant hotels in the medinas, a luxury tent at a tent encampment in the Sahara dunes where John took a sunset camel ride, shopping in the souks, exploring the markets and putting special emphasis on former Jewish neighborhoods as well as synagogues which the country is restoring. Topping off this wonderful tour were a few special days in Paris on our way

home followed soon thereafter with a heavenly week at Rancho La Puerta resting up from all the traveling. “My step-grandkids keep getting taller and taller as I get shorter. Thirteen-year-old Noah became bar mitzvah in April, the occasion bringing together John’s family from near and far. Fifteen-year-old Isaac is at Eton, and both boys are nearing six feet tall! 10-year-old Rosie is quite the soccer player, 13-year-old Paul just got his blackbelt in Taekwondo; and 10-year-old Gwen already seems like a teenager. We visit Arlington, VA each year to see the latter two, as well as trips to Chicago to visit my niece and nephew and their kids. “I shared a delightful weekend with my sister, Dell Litsky Rubin Smithern (Liggett ’59) in Las Vegas in the spring to celebrate her 75th birthday. We were joined by a cousin from Detroit, one from Southern California and one from San Antonio giving us the opportunity to laugh ourselves silly with stories about the Litsky clan and our young years in Detroit. “I seem to have slowed down just a tad with community volunteer work, but John at age 82 continues to go to work every day and has even more energy now with his new Pacemaker. We continue to enjoy entertaining at our San Francisco apartment as well as having friends join us at our weekend home in Sonoma. “As I said earlier, I do hope many of our classmates make a point of meeting in Detroit next May 18—19, 2018 to celebrate our 55th reunion!” GPUS Class Representatives: Sandy Georgeson Moisides 17 Colonial Road Grosse Pointe Shores, MI 48236-1719 sanmoi@comcast.net Bill Randall 503 Devonshire Ln Aurora, OH 44202-8594 wrrandall@windstream.net Alan Hartwick: Enjoyed a brief trip from Leland to Grosse Pointe in May to help celebrate the 2017 Distinguished Alumni, Stan Bryant.

Carol Dunitz, Ph.D: Can we really be coming up on 50 years since high school graduation? Yikes! I live in Ann Arbor and miraculously, my four daughters have also settled here.

CLASS NOTES

My first grandchild, a boy, was born one year ago. What fun it is to be a grandparent! I am breaking ground next month on a house for myself. I have been doing some general contracting in recent years so it will be fun to take all that experience and apply it to something I am doing for myself. I expect to premiere my second one-woman musical, “Mrs. President Lincoln,” later this year; memorizing two hour scripts is the only part of pursuing the dream that is not fun. I am planning the “Best Musical On Broadway” Tour with this show as well as “Bernhardt On Broadway” next year. Guess who has the URL BestMusicalOnBroadway. com? I have completed research for a third show, which will take place in turn of the century New Orleans and am researching a fourth that will be set in the Old West. There just isn’t enough time to do everything one wants. I wonder if anyone from our class will be attending the 50th year reunion. Joni Welch Holinger: As for me, now that we’re settled into our little empty-nester ranch house, I am beginning to set up the nature travels I’ve always wanted to do. First on the list is visiting with the whales and whale sharks around Cabo in the Baja Peninsula via an un-cruise. (I’ll ship my dear husband off to his annual AZ spring training ritual and then head out.) Next, perhaps will be Indonesia to learn about the indigenous tribes and Komodo dragons. Our son is still living in Indy which just seems to be a great city for young adults. I thought that meant we’d see him often. Foolish me. He continues to love his job, but it’s his social schedule, that seems to take up the rest of the time. Oh well, as long as he is healthy and happy, one can’t be too disappointed. For our GPUS friends, Ann Neidow Skow and her husband continue to thrive in Venice, Fla. with their boat, restored classic XKE, and numerous activities. I hope this finds all of you well and enjoying life.

GPUS Class Representative: Priscilla Mead 750 S. Race St. Denver, Co. 80209-2724 ulsclass1970@gmail.com Hillary Burnett: Our family was a long time Detroit family. Difco Laboratories

downtown was the center of life for my father, his father and my cousins, who owned and ran it for three generations. For a time in the 60’s goats were kept on the roof and we would hang out on Sundays in the goat pen in downtown Detroit. Bectin Dickenson bought it in the 1990’s and still makes Difco products. My sister Terrill and our cousin Bill Burnett, who had also been a president of Difco, and I went to visit this spring. Not only is B/D Difco active, there is an additional new facility on the three acre site. Rasheedia Aigoro ‘01 who is the Plant Manager was kind to take us on a complete tour. (See photo on page 79) Near the end we discovered that she too had gone to Liggett. It was beyond exciting to me to have an alumna of Liggett running Difco, who I think graduated in the early aughts. We’re proud to be in Rasheedia’s company as Liggett alumni. Our father, Harry Burnett Jr. would be thrilled to know that a woman who went to the same school as his sisters and daughters is now running the Difco plant. And our mother, Patricia Hill Burnett, was a feminist, would love knowing there’s a woman at the helm. Our aunts… Jane Burnett and Mary Burnett both attended The Liggett School in the 1920’s and 30’s. I still wear Aunt Jane’s class ring of 1935. Terrill Burnett, graduated GPUS in 1970 after 12 years at Liggett, starting downtown on Burns Hillary Burnett, eight years at Liggett, two years at GPUS and graduated from Roeper.

Class Representative: Shanda Rumble 851 Westchester Way Birmingham, MI 48009-2917 shanshome@yahoo.com Denny Dossin: My life in summary: I miss everyone especially cousins Marlena and Jenny beside Sheila Smith McNamara and Jerry Le Mieux Day. I was married for 32 years divorced now six years. I have two wonderful sons in their 30’s and a granddaughter 10 months old. My primary house is on the East Bay in Grand Traverse County. I still keep the Saginaw house as I worked as a school psychologist in the city for 30 years. That’s where my friends live. We travel

in February to sunny places like Kona, Caribbean cruise, Turks and Caicos and etc. I’ve had physical problems since my brain hemorrhage and two surgeries due to an AMV, born with, but I had the best surgeon in U.S. on call and after two surgeries I only have blindness on my left side, so I shouldn’t drive congested highways. And that means I’ll be missing all of you. Jane Fennessy: Still horsing around, leaving next week with 25 horses and a half a dozen students for Tyron, NC and then on to Traverse City which I’m looking forward to revisiting. Mom, brother et el are going to come visit! I’m hoping for a Mediterranean cruise after the circus, we shall see. Nina McCabe: Nina and her husband Michael live at 1700’ in the mountains of New Mexico. Nina now has more time for making paintings and ceramic sculpture. She remains an avid perennial gardener and a walker of her two corgis. Her daughter, who is now married and a social worker, will be having her first grandchild soon. Nina lives in the middle of nowhere where she can see mountain lions, (no tigers) and bears, lots of deer, elk, a fox now and then, ring tails and the like. Needless to say she uses these observations of inspiration for her work. If you are a serious amateur astronomer, consider coming to the party we put on here each year. Nina recently went on a three-day musicrafting trip down the Chana River. Doug Reid: Doug and John Chapman enjoyed catching up several times recently when Doug and his wife, Patty, moved from Atlanta to Boston for a few months. John keeps up with a number of Boston area classmates including (might get some details wrong) Ilene Rosin, George Silvis, Beth Ballantine, Janet Kuykendall, and Chris Hughes.

finds you healthy and happy. The past year has been filled with many highs and lows, but I guess that is life. In May of 2016, I traveled from Western New York to GP for the reunion, just one week before the wedding of my middle child Alexandra “Lexi” to her now husband Kyle Sals. Before

I proceed any further, let me again thank Peter Schumaker and his wife, as well as the reunion committee for such a lovely venue and a grand reunion. The lowest point of the year came a few weeks after Lexi’s wedding, when wife Jill became ill and was nearly lost to septic infection.

CLASS NOTES

Thank goodness for wonderful doctors at the University of Rochester Medical Center and ECMO machine she has fully recovered. Jill’s medical crisis, along with the loss of our two mothers during the past two years, caused us to re-examine our priorities and as The Grass Roots sang in the late 1960’s “to live for today 1,2,3”. As result, we bought our dream house on the beach of Oak Island in North Carolina, just south of Wilmington and plan to split time between the Tar Heel State and western New York. I miss you all and honestly am honored to be a class member with each of you. Life has been a blessing, as a classmate, college wrestler, teacher, fire fighter and officer, automotive manager, husband, father of three and in the near future retired adult. The path of life has been very sweet and far too swift. The memories each of you created with me are wonderful and will help me through the many years to come. After all, do you know anyone other than Don Lennex who drove six blocks in reverse on the expressway? Please stay in touch!

It was such fun interacting as adults, parents and some of us grandparents. I live outside of Baltimore. I retired from the Social Security Administration in 2006 when I was convinced by my hubby Perry to take early retirement and I haven’t regretted that decision for a moment. We retired on the same day! Since then we have been staying busy traveling, golfing and I volunteered at a residential care facility for children for eight years. My daughter Erin, 31, and son Bryan, 33 both live in the Baltimore area, are currently not married and have no children yet :( But fortunately when Perry and I married, in 2003, I became a stepmother to his three daughters, and grandmother of four and now six grandchildren. Love it!

Suzi Sphire Brock: I still live in Grosse Pointe, and my husband and I have a 19 year old son who is a senior in high school. Our older son (my stepson) is in his early forties, married with two children and lives a couple of hours away. I still work in both the real estate and interior design fields. It’s nice being able to see Tina on a regular basis and, although I don’t get to see Greer quite as often, we do manage to visit from time to time. Betsy Tolleson Meyers: My husband Rob, who coincidentally was a classmate of Greer Candler’s at Trinity, and I are transitioning to Colorado - we will be there permanently in two years. We sold our house in Connecticut, we were really lucky as the market is horrible, and are living in a great apartment in Stamford. We bought a house in Edwards, Colo. which is in the mountains. We cannot wait to be there full time – there are so many healthy things to do! Our oldest daughter, Abby, lives in Evergreen which is about an hour and 40 minutes east of us. She is our crunchy granola, outdoors, skiing-Colorado girl. She beats to her own drummer! Then there is Claire who is 29 - lives and works in New York City. They are total opposite ends of the spectrum! Steve Wieczorek: I hope Perry’s plantar fasciitis is doing much better. I don’t know if you heard but Central Michigan, in particular Isabella County, where I live, was declared a FEMA state of emergency from the recent flooding. Lots of clean-up going on around here. Thankfully only a few of my properties were affected, but in general, a royal pain to deal with! Went kayaking in my front yard! Nita Stormes: It looks like the reunion gathering was a great time! I’m sorry I missed it. To bring you up to date, after high school I attended Ohio Wesleyan University and graduated in 1976 with a degree in Economics and Psychology. Then I attended Duke University Law School from ‘76-’79, graduating with a J.D. degree. I met my husband Edward Patrick Swan, Jr. (Pat) at Duke. After graduation, we eventually made our way to San Diego, Calf. where we worked as young lawyers in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California. Pat went on to be a partner at Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, and is now a partner at Jones Day. I

1978 40th Reunion! Class Representative: Thomas Graves 24 Harbor Hill Rd. Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236 tggravesmd@gmail.com

A wise man once taught us that it is far better to be “grateful” than to be “glad.” He said, “Glad means we are looking inward. We are focusing on our pleasure regarding something we like. But when we are grateful, we acknowledge that our gift has a giver.” Being educated at University Liggett School was a great gift. And the Class of 1978 realizes that our educational gift was generously given through the sacrifice of many people - our parents, our teachers, donors, and other students. As we rapidly approach the 40th anniversary of our graduation, the Class of 1978 remains grateful for our opportunity to receive an excellent education, and make lifelong friends. We decided to focus on things we are grateful for in this edition of Perspectives. Mark Mushro spoke for our whole class when he said, “The list of things I’m grateful for is too long to

enumerate, but one that tops it are the great friendships that I made on my journey from Pre-K to senior year (at ULS).” Mark suggests that ULS helps establish real and lasting friendships. Mark said, “Every time I see my old friends it’s like it was yesterday. ULS allowed me to develop friendships that have stood the test of time. For that I will forever be grateful.” John Hastings has an incredibly grateful heart - in fact, when I sent an email asking what we were grateful for, John answered first. As is his custom, he began with humor. John said he was grateful for great stories our class shares - and then he shared his “favorite John Hastings story.” John was our football team punter and we were in a critical moment in a battle against Lutheran East when Coach Tom Tabor called for a special “shotgun” play (where John played quarterback). Instead of passing to Chuck Vincent who was waving his arms (wide open deep behind enemy lines), John decided instead to punt…. on third down! John said that was, “Epic even for me!” John adds that he is grateful for ULS Perspectives magazine and the fact that so many people in our class share their news here. John says, that “helps keep our class cohesive.” John says he is grateful his “oldest son Harry is happily married (March 12, 2016) and just took a job as a Geologist with Cimarex in Midland.” He continues, “I’m also grateful that my youngest son Andrew just graduated last month from Ole Miss and that I am getting to spend time with him at home and at

my office as he looks for a job.” John says he is most grateful, “that my wife Sarah and I were able to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this past March 21. It’s been great and we are hoping for 30 more!” David George shares his gratitude for his children and especially recalling traveling with them to Disney, great parks, and visiting his folks in Arizona. David was grateful for a favorite teacher, Mrs. Remillet. David says, “I had her for a few classes and I liked how she made class interesting. I also liked the math classes we had with Miss Robb and Mr. Norris.” David adds, “I am grateful to my parents for having the ability to let me attend Liggett. Not everyone can, and I wish all could experience what we went through. I have thought about teaching there.” The teachers were wonderful - and in David’s case, he followed their footsteps and teaches high school physics and chemistry. Ethel Dowling is grateful to Mike Merlo who helped her son Peter secure an internship at Chrysler. Ethel says, “Some things come full circle. After growing up in the South and studying at Ole Miss, our son, Peter, is living in Grosse Pointe for the summer with his grandmother while interning with Chrysler (now FCA). My father, who was an executive with Chrysler for 35 years would be delighted.” Ethel is grateful for special memories from ULS recounting, “I think of the bonding that came with the hours we (the girls) spent planning our songs for “Song Contest” and also of the time my Latin

class learned the meaning of the word “insipid” from Miss Ferguson and then knowingly misapplied it to the soup in the cafeteria! Tasteless!” Bill Beardslee mentions that he is “grateful for many things in life. In the context of University Liggett School, I would say I am most grateful for the lifelong friends that I made during my seven years at the school. And while I have some classmates who I see more frequently, I consider the entire class of 1978 as friends. It was the highest caliber group of people I have come across during my short journey through life.” Our class considers Bill our friend as well - he has devoted significant effort at bonding our class through the years (and we will never forget when he arrived at our Prom in a huge horse trailer (classic)! Carol Bossonney is grateful to live in Paris. In her own words, “Life is sweet here in Paris.” A truly grateful heart seeks to share, and that is exactly what Carol longs to do, she ULS.ORG

begs, “Please let our classmates know I would love to hear from them when they come to France. I will guide them to the best baguette the city has to offer.” Carol is grateful for her two children and adds that, “they both live in London. We get to see them often.” Carol shares that she is on a mission! “I am in the process of becoming French” Carol said, “It is a privilege to love two countries and be able to call them home.” I have known Carol since first grade (when she knocked me off my seat onto the floor to continue her place in “Duck, Duck, Goose.”) Since then, she has become an incredible giver. Carol dedicates much of her time working at the American Cathedral in Paris most Fridays “cooking and then serving lunch to 64 needy people in Paris.” Because Carol sees every person as valuable and lovable, the meals she prepares and serves are “three course sit down meals. Camembert is servedbien sûr!” Carol ends her update stating, “I am full of gratitude and joy. I hear an inner voice announce every day ‘you are so blessed.” Hmmm… it seems to me that everyone who knows Carol is blessed…anyone want to join me for a visit to Paris and get one of those three course meals with Camembert? Missy McBrien shared her gratitude for our Latin class freshman year with Mr. Fields. It’s somewhat miraculous she didn’t require counseling after enduring a small class with Kevin Conley, Kenny Madsen, Linda Schmidt, and myself. But Missy is grateful that Mr. Fields kept us balanced as he, “Was strumming his guitar singing Beatles songs in Latin.” Mike Merlo says, “I am grateful for the opportunity I received 42 years ago to attend ULS and the insistence of my parents to make the leap from public school in Warren and engage in a daily trek to GPF.” Mike continues, “I am grateful for the life-long friendships I made at ULS, especially in hockey and baseball which remain a focal point of conversation at every reunion.” Mike added, “I am grateful for the pure comedy that yielded from the trials and tribulations of daily events between 1975 and 1978 and the hilarity of the memories that ensue to this day.” Mike’s gratitude is contagious, he said, “While each passing day brings new opportunities, experiences, fun and folly, I wouldn’t 74

end, we’re all full of potential, but we have to do out best and let God take care of the rest.”

Cindy Kling Holmes said she is grateful for her family and for the opportunity to attend ULS. She boldly states that “ULS was life changing for me. ULS led to Vandy, then UNC and my career in local government.” Cindy emphasized that she is “grateful for my ULS classmates, all of you! You have all influenced my life, even if you don’t know it.” Cindy adds, “I am blessed and grateful for my children, my family and where I am in life. (Geographically in Raleigh, NC) I am also grateful for friends like Ethel Dowling and the Burwell’s that house me in Lexington, Va. when I visit my children at W & L. “

Sheila Casey McManus wanted to say “Hello to all my classmates.” Sheila is grateful for her husband, Kevin, and she has loved living in Brunswick, Maine for the last four years. Sheila says they love hiking, x-country skiing, and sailing, noting, “It’s a beautiful part of the country! We have one child in Charleston, SC. and one in Mammoth Lakes, CA. All is great! Can’t believe it will be 40 years next year!!”

Michael Bradford tries to look at everything as a blessing to be grateful for. Case in point, Michael sates, “I am grateful for the experience of being such a fish out of water at ULS. It made me mentally tough, and ready for the resistance and obstacles of life, and gave me the perseverance to keep pushing until I got to where I wanted to be.” Michael recounts a teacher who served as a friend in need one night, “I am grateful to Coach Wright who went with me to the father-son dinner all those years ago, as my dad had already passed away and coach didn’t want me to miss it.” “I’m grateful for Mr. Miller, the teacher who showed me how to read a newspaper and read between the lines to see past the bias and agendas and find the truth. He showed me how to analyze data and read graphs and charts. He taught me how to use my mind and how not to get taken for a sucker.” “I’m grateful for the refuge that I found in the music room, where there was always a place to practice and instruments to play.” “I’m grateful for the friends that treated me so well, like Jason and Gloria Hinz, Peter Diamond (RIP my brother) Colleen Carolan, Coleman Rogers, John Julius Verpoort (and his dad who stood up to the GPW Police for me), David Gibson, Jimmy Catchings, Chuck Vincent (Van-Go), the Cusumano family for all those after-school dinners, and you Tom Graves.” “I’m grateful for the most important lesson of all, which was it’s not where one starts out in life, but where one ends up that counts the most. In the

Bill Harness seems to categorize things in a way that is simple, straight forward…and yet, profound. Bill submitted this list of some of the things he is grateful for: 1. Grateful to have spent time with some of my ULS classmates last fall at the most splendid Big Trout Island. 2. Grateful to have my 86 year old father (Michigan Law class of 1954) be able to attend my 25 year old daughter (MSUCOM class of 2017) at her medical school graduation. 3. Grateful to be living in Grosse Pointe once again (22 Oldbrook Lane) with both of my parents and siblings. 4. Grateful for the life of my Uncle Tom (W.T. ZurSchmiede Jr.) who made so much possible for all of our family. And as all grateful people do, Bill looks outward, and offers this prayer: “I pray for leadership to bind a nation divided by our inability to empathize and connect with one another.” Like many of us, Bill has witnessed that “Our human experience is being dulled by our electronic addictions.” Bill adds therefore that he is grateful that these old fashioned, printed pages “help us to bring us closer to each other.“ Peter Worcester ’79 heard we were mentioning things we were grateful for and wanted to share his gratitude for the Class of 1978. He begins by praising his Cousin, John Hastings. Peter said, “John’s leadership on the ice during the infamous fight fest. With Ecorse down at their River Rouge ice rink was one for the memories. John’s tenaciousness and fearless independence made him the subject of countless dirty kicks to the head/ stomach by the thugs from Ecorse, all to defend his teammates and ULS honor on the rink! Made me proud

Thomas Graves: Personally, I am also grateful for my experience at University Liggett School. I am grateful for each member of our class. I am grateful for great teachers like George (“The Rev”) Andrews, Mr. Eric Linder, and Mr. Trofi – who not only helped me learn, but helped me grow in faith and to become a better person. I’m especially grateful for ULS creating a thirst for learning and the ability to assimilate information rapidly, which was essential in medical school and in my medical career. I am grateful for my wife Anne for 30 years of being my best friend in marriage (this September). I am grateful for our children Tommy ’09 and Sarah. Dear Class of 1978 - as we approach our 40th Reunion, please allow us to know how you are doing? Send me an email (tggravesmd@gmail.com), or join our Facebook group (“ULS 1978”).

Tom Dow: I’m pleased to report that I played in the National 50s Platform Tennis Tournament in New Jersey last March with John MacLeod ‘84, who came in from Louisville. After playing against each other in high school, when John’s partner was Dan French ‘84, and mine was Jon Ekelman ‘83, there was a thirty odd year hiatus. John recently started coming in to play in the Detroit Invitational with brother, Andrew ‘87; I saw the old fire and tenacity and was happily able to enlist John to play in a couple tourneys. We had a great time staying with John’s sister, Terri, in her beautiful new home in Morristown. Terri and sister, Leslie, who lives in Old Greenwich, came over to watch at the Indian Trail Club, and for a special post tourney dinner, which Terri cooked for everyone, including Leslie’s son, Tanner, and husband, Andrew Williams. We had a ball catching up and reminiscing. Thanks to John turning it up a notch, we

Oscar Alcantara ‘86 says that as the building was under construction the music program put together a concert called “brick by brick” celebrating the new Manoogian Arts Wing. During construction some of the students toured the area, resulting in the signing of the wall. Many of Liggett’s current students added their names to the wall before new display boards were put in place.

Victoria Chochla: Victoria graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in April as a Polish Studies major and International Studies minor. After graduation, she traveled to Berlin for ten days with peers from the Max Kade House and two German professors from the University of Michigan. During her visit, she learned about the German culture and practiced speaking German while visiting museums, attending cultural festivals and partaking in private tours of German landmarks led by alumni of the University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages. Upon her arrival in the U.S., she worked with the board of directors of her foundation VICTORIA to select three recipients for an annual scholarship given to academically and athletically talented students at a middle school in Librantowa, Poland,

to fund enrollment in sports-related extracurricular activities. As much as Victoria wishes she could’ve been present alongside the foundation’s board of directors at the scholarship ceremony, Victoria had to return to Ann Arbor in early June for her first day of graduate school at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, where she is pursuing a Masters of Management Degree before heading to medical school. She is enjoying her time as a Ross student and finds the challenging curriculum centered on quantitative and qualitative business analysis courses extremely interesting and rewarding.

When he is not busy studying he is involved in research through the Department of Psychiatry at Michigan Medicine. As many of you know, Joey is fighting congestive heart failure, and is still using the LVAD to help assist his heart. In the past year and a half since Joey has gotten sick he has faced many battles, but remains optimistic. The biggest issue Joey is facing is the loss of feeling and use in his right leg and foot due to nerve damage he sustained from laying in the hospital too long. Next on the road to recovery is Joey being listed for a heart transplant. Although he has no timeline for that, Joey is doing his best to prepare himself for the long road ahead of him.

He graduated as Valedictorian of GPUS, one of the predecessor schools of University Liggett School. Following his graduation from Harvard University in 1950, he served in the Air Force, before returning to Grosse Pointe.

He served on the board of the El Paseo Arts Foundation and launched their foreign film festival. He was an avid skier, sailor and gardener; an excellent cook, and a connoisseur of fine wines.

UNIV E R SITY LIGGET T S CH OOL 2016-17 Annual Report

From the President This school year was a year of transition as we said our goodbyes to our longtime head of school, Dr. Joseph P. Healey, and wished him well in his retirement. And although his retirement was bittersweet moment for us as a school community, it was also a time for us to look back and celebrate the many successes that we had this year. Our students and alumni are continuing to achieve great things. This year alone, we had two students invited to participate in the National High School Musical Theatre Awards on Broadway — those students, Antonio Cipriano and Catherine Elliot, were the only two students from Michigan selected for this impressive honor. Two members of the class of 2013 continued to achieve great things in their studies: Aaron Robertson was named a Rhodes Scholar, and Stella Gatzke received a Fulbright Scholarship. Our successes are not only seen in our classrooms and on the stage — our robotics team won a first place at districts, and 10 of our athletic teams received either league or conference titles. Our faculty are continuing to do great things inside and outside of the classroom, with many of them having received honors and recognition in their respective fields. These are just a few of the many stories of success that we have to celebrate this year. On the financial side, enrollment is strong and our applicant pool continues to strengthen. There are waiting lists in many grades. Our Sure Foundations campaign has raised more than $33 million to date, and a recent initiative to honor Dr. Healey raised more than $2.9 million alone. Our Annual Fund closed out the year with $1.4 million, and our fall fundraiser, Liggett Knight, raised more than half a million dollars — the most a single event ever has raised in the school’s history. Each of these successes gives us reason to celebrate. These successes also demonstrate how the continued generosity and support of our loyal parents, alumni, grandparents and friends make a difference in the daily life of the school. Thank you for everything you have done this year. Sincerely,

John W. Stroh IIII ‘78 President, Board of Trustees

Annual Fund Gifts By Society The Annual Fund is the foundation of University Liggett School’s development program, and it enhances academic and extra-curricular programs, faculty compensation and enrichment, as well as other operating expenses at the school. Tuition dollars do not cover the entire cost of a University Liggett School education. The Annual Fund provides support for instruction, student activities, and initiatives for the Liggett community to stay connected and engaged. The Annual Fund is important because, like at most independent schools, tuition does not fully cover the cost of educating our students. Every year from July 1 to June 30, University Liggett School solicits unrestricted gifts from parents, alumni and friends of the school.
