Head of School Wish List

The Dubliner, 3

In my twenty years of working in schools, I have never experienced a year quite like the 75th Anniversary of Dublin School. Construction, building dedications, powerful guest speakers, ski area development, Gala events, a new

faculty child, wonderful students and teachers, academic success stories, trustee meetings, a new entrance road, athletic contests, flourishing arts, Mountain Day, alumni Whistle Stops, faculty dogs, Work Gangs, Morning Meetings, Judicial Boards, robot competitions, stargazing, and finally…graduation. While trying to control my laughter during P.J. O’Rourke’s brilliant commencement address, I thought, “This is what it is all about.” There, on stage, sat twenty-four young men and women transformed by their experiences at Dublin, transformed by a one-of-a-kind educational mission incubated seventy-five years ago by a loving couple with a vision, and transformed by their work with our incredible faculty on our stunning campus. I have never witnessed such emotion from a group of parents who thanked me as a representative of our faculty, alumni, trustees, and families for everything that Dublin had done for their children to prepare them for the next stage of their lives.

The articles and photographs in this issue of the Dubliner are intended to show our appreciation for your involvement with our school and to demonstrate what your support means to our students and to our faculty who work tirelessly to bring out the very best qualities in these young people, qualities of truth and courage, of decency and respect, and of critical thought and inquiry. The purpose of the unparalleled generosity, effort and commitment that went into making this year so successful was right there on the stage in front of us on June 4th just like it has been since 1935 and will be for many more years to come. Well over one hundred individuals volunteered their talents and time to help Dublin School and many more contributed generously to help us meet our goals for both the Annual Fund and our various capital projects. In our effort to attract and educate the very best students who we feel will flourish at Dublin, we are striving to hire, retain, and develop outstanding educators who fully embrace the Dublin Mission, create a beautiful and sustainable campus designed for building community and for learning both inside and out-of-doors, and building an endowment for financial aid that will make Dublin affordable for as many families as possible.

For me personally, this year marked a return to the classroom, this time as an English teacher. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study the role of the myth of the American Frontier in American culture with four terrific senior boys. I was fortunate not just to be learning with four intelligent, funny, and hard-working young men, but also because I got to teach them at the end of their Dublin academic careers, after most of the hard work had been done by our faculty. These seniors had clearly learned how to think and question, to support arguments with evidence, write powerfully, and contribute passionately yet respectfully to a class discussion. I also know that these boys, like the twenty other students on stage at graduation, learned to live with people from around the world and from very different backgrounds from their own, to not be afraid to get their hands dirty and help their community by fixing a trail or shoveling snow, to not be afraid to try a new activity, whether artistic or athletic, and learned to live full lives of service and meaning like the numerous Dublin alumni I have been so honored to meet.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to educate these young men and women, enjoy this issue of the Dubliner, and most importantly, please visit us when you can.

FOUNTAIN ARTSB U I L D I N G

An extraordinary addition

Fountain Arts Building continued page 6

The photograph on the cover of this magazine is one of my all time favorites from my time at Dublin. It shows students

and faculty collaborating and learning in the beautiful, brand new Fountain Theater. There seems to be a perfect combination of professionalism and intimacy in the group. While we like to celebrate performances, the real magic for me lies in the practices and rehearsals; there we witness the risk taking, the successes and failures, the moments of leadership and support, and the tears and laughter. David Fountain ’73 and his mother Marjorie Fountain have provided present and future Dublin students with a perfect space to practice and share their special craft. The building is wonderfully flexible, allowing for numerous stage locations and actor entrances, it is elegant in its simplicity, and has the technological capacity to accomplish just about anything our tech-savvy students can dream up.

Before September 8, 2009, however, the old AB (Arts Building) was simply an old, decaying building with wonderful memories. Foggy windows, failing power systems, a droopy, low hung ceiling, and an overworked single toilet were all signs that the AB had long passed its glory days. And yet, for a few evenings a year, Jan Haman, her colleagues, and students would bring it back to life with marvelous productions that have long been highlights of the Dublin experience. But, on September 8th I received a phone call from David Fountain asking what I was doing the next day, for he would like to fly down from Nova Scotia to meet with me. While I knew that he was a skilled aviator, I sensed from the tone of his voice that this was not just an excuse to fly his plane to New Hampshire, and I waited in my office with great anticipation. Mr. Fountain arrived the next day right on time and proceeded to tell me that he and his mother were interested in making a substantial gift to the School, that they would like to provide funding for a major renovation of the AB (a proposal for which they had seen in the School’s Master Plan), and that they would like me to explore the possibility of accomplishing this task without letting anyone know about it. Mr. Fountain explained that while he only had a small part in the Dublin theater program, he had developed a lifelong love of theater and had supported the arts as a philanthropist in Halifax, and wanted to give back to Dublin.

By the end of the conversation I realized that Mr. Fountain was prepared to provide Dublin with the largest gift in the School’s soon to be seventy-five year history. I imagined how Jan would react (wonderful drama, of course), I thought of what it would mean to the morale of our faculty, students, alumni, trustees and families that someone so generous was taking us this seriously, and I pictured in my head what the first production in the Fountain Arts Building would be like. After working quietly with architects and builders on the feasibility of the project, it was with great joy that we shared the news with the school community. A new theater with the capacity to perform traditional proscenium productions, the ability to create a “black box” theater, a new outdoor stage, professional lighting and a sound booth, renovated classrooms with Smart Boards and no cinderblocks showing, an elevator, and four bathrooms! Mr. Fountain also insisted that we have a proper lobby, which since construction has become an essential space for receptions, intermissions, and for displaying student art work.

All of us in attendance for the opening night of "Pippin" were moved by the experience of watching our students shine in such a glorious theater. We thank David and Marjorie Fountain for their vision, their leadership, and their inspirational generosity.

Fountain Arts Building continued from page 5

Can a mere building change the culture of an institution? Well, it can certainly change the culture of a program!

On the day the ball-wrecker attacked the old Arts Building, the acting students formed a phalanx along the road before

it; some were in awe, some in tears, some cheering. I was up in the Alumni and Development Office, unaware that this was the day our old theater was going down, and as I descended to the quad I remember the cry that went up from those kids: “Jan, don’t look! Go back inside!” And I did. But not before glimpsing the reality. That theater in which I knew every nook and dusty cranny was just about gone.

Cut: It’s six months later, donor David Fountain ’73 has flown down to Dublin to tour the Fountain Arts Building which is now shining on the hill below New Dorm. Inside, the theater was still swarming with helmeted workers, still awash in construction dust, I pick my way through and around the detritus of an unfinished space, but a space I can see as a new beginning of a theater at Dublin – soaring ceilings over both the audience and the stage. Buildings and Grounds Director, Andy Hungerford, introduced me to the project manager. “This is the Drama Queen,” he says, “this will be her place.” I am tongue-tied, overwhelmed. This will not be my place, I’m thinking, this will be the place of generations of Dublin students in the future.

After the tour and photos, we all shared a humble lunch of sandwiches from the Dublin General Store, and David Fountain proffered insightful questions about seating, lighting, curtains and sound and settled those queries with an additional donation.

Cut to October: It’s the evening of the theater dedication and it is also Family Weekend; the theater is full. There are speeches and then, music. And what Music! Our 25-year partner in the arts, Walden Music School, somehow had inveigled the renowned cellist, Dave Eggar, to play for this occasion. He was sensational. The rest of the evening is a blur. Dublin School students performed music and dance for the parents and guests, the board members and of course, David Fountain, who was so humble and made an early retreat. So did I. The lighting, the curtain system, the sound, is so wonderful, I drive away in tears.

Cut to February: It’s the morning after our last dress rehearsal of “Pippin.” At 6:45 a.m. I burst into Brad Bates’ office, “We have a real theater, a real theater!” I

yell. Because we have! That night, as the house lights dim, and we are enveloped in a true theatrical black box of a theater, and the orchestra strikes up the Overture, I find it hard to breathe. Minutes before, I had circled with the cast. “This is it.” I said. “You are about to make Dublin history on this new stage, give it your all.” Of course, these are the student actors who have watched every moment of this transformation, and they know what it means to live up to this building’s expectations.

What am I feeling? Gratitude. An entire community, a “Village,” has made this moment possible: Andy Hungerford and his crew; our cast of indomitable actors; our music director, Tom Martin; my co-directors, Cindy Ritter and John Emerson; my marketing assistant, Donna Stone; Brad Bates, who took the mission given him by David Fountain and made it come alive; and, of course, David Fountain who along with his mother, Marjorie, used their resources to make a dream come true.

Cut to our 75th Anniversary Mayfair/Reunion on May 14, 2011: At the rear of the stage there is a huge barn door that opens to a semi-circle performing space. Out of the stage, pours our dance performance of “Alice in Wonderland,” playing to hundreds of parents and families seated on hay bales below the New Dorm. It’s the penultimate moment to a year that changed the culture of the performing arts at Dublin School.

“We Have Magic To Do!” sang the cast of “Pippin” which then proceeded to do just that in the first full-length show in our FABulous new theater. “Pippin,” with its theatrical setting, costuming, and musical numbers, was the perfect production to showcase the new lighting, sound, scenery and seating capabilities that indeed made magic happen in the Fountain Arts Building.

Thanks to the help of Buddy Bates ’53, over 30 alumni joined parents, students and friends on Sunday, January 16, 2011 for

the dedication of the Norm “Pro” Wight Ski Area. Alumnus and former coach John Wight ’64 gave a touching speech about how much his father Norm would have enjoyed the day.

The slope came to life within minutes of John Wight cutting the ribbon to open the slope. Children from the age of five through adults in their late 70’s put on their bibs and skied down the new Dublin slalom course. Katie Houde ’13 was the fastest female and Karl Beck (husband of Molly Phillips-Hungerford ’00) was the fastest male down the course. Their names are now engraved on the brand new “Pro Bowl Cup.” We hope to make the fun family race an annual event for the larger Dublin family. We believe that “Pro” would be thrilled to see kids skiing through the woods,

testing their skills, and falling and laughing with friends. We would like to thank everyone who helped make the slope a reality and assisted us in putting together a perfect dedication weekend.

“The turnout on the part of the ‘older’ alumni is truly a tribute to Norm. He obviously made a great impression on all of us who knew him. None of us could get over how much John looks like his Dad.” - Joe Joslin ’54

"I thank all the Dublin Alums who made the effort to celebrate the opening of the new Pro Wight Ski Slope on what used to be the final pitch down Beech Hill on the grueling cross country ski course. The weather, the new cable handle tow and the snow conditions were all superb. A very exciting event to re-establish outdoor winter sports at Dublin.”

“The dedication of the Norm Wight Slope was one of my favorite events at Dublin School. It was wonderful to bring so many alumni, coaches, and teachers back to campus to celebrate something that was so important to the early decades of the school and so instrumental to our future efforts to get as many kids outside enjoying our beautiful winters as possible. It was a fitting celebration of a family that provided three generations of inspirational teachers and coaches at Dublin.” - Brad Bates

“I believe Brad is on the right track! The ‘Pro Bowl’ will be a great point for lots of good community activity. I will return before too long, just to ski a little with the kids, faculty and friends of Dublin School.”

In addition to naming our new ski area after Norm, Dublin School is establishing the Norm “Pro” Wight

Endowment Fund for Athletics. This named fund will become part of the School’s permanent endowment and like all our endowment funds, the initial principal amount will be invested and a percentage of the interest each year will be used to support the operating needs of our athletic program. Any remaining interest will be put back into the fund so it continues to grow. An endowment fund for athletics will allow us to keep recruiting top coaches, maintain our beautiful facilities, and stay true to our mission of helping students find their inner athlete.

Thanks to the generosity of many alumni and friends, The Norm “Pro” Wight Endowment Fund for Athletics is currently at $23,725. If you are interested in helping us build this important new endowment fund, please contact Erika Rogers, Dir. of Development and Alumni Affairs at (603) 563-1230 or [email protected].

HUMANITIESFROM A DUBLIN POINT OF VIEW

In September, Domingo Rosa ’76 brought The House Band

back to campus.One of the highlights of our 75th Anniversary Year was the success of our Humanities Program. In addition to the usual outside presenters, a number of our Dublin School alumni came back to campus to share their talents in music, art, photography and business. In addition to their presentations, each alum spent time with our current students discussing their own Dublin experience and their life’s journey since graduation.

First up was Domingo Rosa ’76 who brought his House Band back to campus in early September. This group has almost become the D.S. house band over the last two years, and has been a favorite of students, faculty and alums. They soon had their audience on its feet, playing percussion instruments, singing in duos and trios at the microphones, or just dancing, while Domingo and his musicians played classic R & B and soft rock.

While a student here in the mid-to-late seventies, Domingo was always a charming force, whether it was on the soccer field, in the art studio, on “the stage,” or playing with other musicians. This performance was a great commencement of our 75th Anniversary Humanities.

It was Jim’s first trip back to campus in 32 years and as he emerged from his car, his head swiveled east and west, north and south. “Wow!” he exclaimed. Before a photo-snapping tour of the campus, Jim visited with a large group of photography students, critiquing their photos and speaking to them fervently about the need to apply passion to their art. Later, he exhibited his photo-journalism works, beginning with his portraits of Dublin characters and places (’76 to ’78), as well as covers that have included ESPN Magazine and Sports Illustrated. For more information about Jim’s work go to www.jamesporto.com.

In October, photographer James Porto ’78 presented an inspirational

show of his work for Wired, New York Magazine, GQ, Rolling Stones

and Time.

The Dubliner, 15

In November, Nat Dane ’80, professionally known as Oen Kennedy performed a concert

for the student body.

Oen’s music is very uniquely his own, often involving the connection between human emotions and the natural world. Between songs he reminisced about his years at Dublin and sang his old part as Ariel in “The Tempest” to a delighted audience. Oen performs often in the Boston area at such venues as Club Passim and the House of Blues, and has opened concerts several times for Richie Havens and Tony Bird. The Music Director at WVMB 91.9 Boston said this in a review of his work: “Oen Kennedy is musical, he’s subtle, he’s irresistible and he has an innate sense of the innocent soul in all of us.” Sounds very much like the Nat of 1980 who ran up Monadnock every chance he got!

April brought three women from the class of ’96 to campus to enchant the student body with their often hilarious, always honest, tales of

their time at Dublin.

We concluded our “Re-connection Series” with an appearance by Michael (Taugner) Light ’81.

Joyce Hopkins, Jenn Bogin and Nicky Kee arrived together and went directly to their old lair, the third floor of Corner House. Joyce is an executive at Intel in California, Jenn is married, lives in the North Hampton, MA area and is a consultant specializing in autism. Nicky whose son, Julian, came to campus with her, teaches at the Georgetown Day School in Washington, D.C. Sitting on the stage of the Louise Shonk Kelly Recital Hall, each woman recounted the path that led her to Dublin. What inspired

Mike arrived in May with his English Staffordshire Bull Terrier, April, having driven cross-country in his camper, stopping along the way for business and to visit with old friends. Mike is a San Francisco-based photographer and bookmaker focused on the environment and how contemporary American culture relates to it. He has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, and his work has been collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Research Library, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New York Public Library and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others. Michael was here to present a program highlighting his visual work as portrayed in his five books, which we proudly display in our library.

Still clever, quick, and charming, Mike dazzled his audience with Dublin anecdotes, mostly at his own expense, and gave an honest account of the “ups and downs” that have led to his successful career. His latest book LA Day/LA Night (Radius, 2011) is the second in a series about the arid American West from above. Students had many questions for Mike, particularly after learning of his relationship with Tom Hanks with whom he consulted on Hanks’ film

“Magnificent Desolation” about the moon walking Apollo astronauts. Mike’s books include FULL MOON, which was published in 8 editions worldwide in 1999 and has become the defining view of the NASA Apollo photographic archive. For more information about Mike’s work go to www.michaellight.net.

No stranger to media and public speaking, a delighted and spent Mike said after his Dublin evening:

“Toughest (and most rewarding) audience ever, because I was looking up at an auditorium full of me — I remember just how skeptical and questioning I was at Dublin, especially when bald alums from the dark ages come back to supposedly spread the Truth. Now I am beginning to understand Courage!”

the students in the audience was learning about the diversity of those paths and how the friendships that were born and nurtured in the Corner House loft are still strong today.

Over 250 Dublin School alumni, parents and friends visited campus on May 13 and 14 for our 75th Anniversary Alumni/

Mayfair Weekend. Alumni and parents began arriving Friday afternoon, including two of the Lehmann children, Mike Lehmann ’59 and Nancy Lehmann Haynes ’55 (later joined by sister Louisa Lehmann Birch ’57), for our annual outdoor Coffee House performed on the new Fountain Arts Building Terrace. Alumni Class Agents joined the crowd after a productive dinner meeting at Del Rossi’s Trattoria and after two and half hours of fantastic music, everyone climbed up to Memorial Field for a Spectacular Professional Fireworks display thanks to trustee David Howe H’95, and Stephen Pelkey of Atlas Fireworks.

On Saturday, after a special morning meeting, 30 Dublin School dancers performed their rendition of “Alice in Wonderland” to a large crowd on the Fountain Arts Building outdoor terrace. With the rain holding off, the Class of 2011 circled the Maypole celebrating their senior spring, and then the Class of 2012 carried the pole away to hide it for their turn next year. After everyone enjoyed cheering on Dublin’s tennis, lacrosse and crew teams, the afternoon activities were capped off by the now annual alumni/student lacrosse game, where alumni dominated yet again, winning the Mike Walter ’86 Memorial Cup.

75th ANNIVERSARYW E E K E N D T O R E M E M B E R

Everyone had a blast!

In honor of Dublin School’s 75th Anniversary year, a special Gala was held at the Shattuck Golf Club in Jaffrey, NH where over 225 guests came to celebrate the history of our School, share stories, and enjoy dinner and dancing. Jan Haman and David Howe were awarded Head of School Service Medals for their extraordinary contributions to the School over the last several decades. Tom Putnam ’61 and Dick Simmons ’50 received the 2010 and 2011 Lehmann Distinguished Alumnus Awards. All who attended this amazing weekend would surely agree that the overall sense of pride in the Dublin School students, faculty, alumni, history and campus has never been higher. It was truly a historic weekend that will long be remembered.

75th Anniversary Gala

What impressed me most about the 75th Anniversary is that the vision of my parents, and the first two faculty members,

Charles Gillespie and Ralph Plumley, is still very much alive today, 75 years later. Under the excellent leadership of Brad Bates, the school is clearly thriving.

One part of the founding vision was to take advantage of the natural environment. I am encouraged to see the School returning to this core value, as shown by the new Norm Wight Ski Area and the major expansion of the Cross Country ski trails in the Valley. I hope this outdoor focus continues to increase. In addition to the benefits for the current students, it is a differentiating factor in attracting applicants.

The Gala Dinner was a huge success. I was delighted that three of the four Lehmann children were there. This was a very moving evening, seeing so many friends from days past. Congratulations to the team which made all the arrangements.”

- Mike Lehmann ’59

“

The Dubliner, 23

T hree factors which were there at the beginning are still, I would argue, not only present but have increased in importance at this magnificent School. Teaching quality and the dedication of those in authority remains

at a level of excellence rarely, if ever, present at any other American school of this size. The combination of what is learned from books and the opportunities found with Nature outside the classroom affords a total educational adventure rarely seen elsewhere. And, finally, determination to use this constituency to provide help to others in nearby communities will, I would guarantee today’s students, remain not only a long-ago active memory but a firm and unshakeable part of each of their personalities. So, I thank you for this recognition but, perhaps of more importance, for the chance to revisit an institution so vital in my life and any small successes I may have enjoyed.”

Dublin School Class of 2011

The Dubliner, 25

Dublin School’s commencement ceremony on June 4, 2011 was the concluding event of our 75th Anniversary Year. In

his introductory remarks, President of the Board of Trustees, Peter H. Imhoff, spoke about how a 75th Anniversary is known as a Diamond Jubilee. He then compared the transformation of the Class of 2011 to the slow, precise process by which carbon is transformed into diamond!

“I remember when the Class of 2011 arrived on this campus, big and little lumps of organic material, eighteen and a half percent carbon and most of them without any apparent internal structure at all. Some of you were a little whiny at first when we suggested you climb the mountain across the street. But subjected to the heat and pressure and time of life and learning at Dublin, you emerged able to think and act in more structured, more ordered ways. Life’s complexities were a little more defined, and you now have the tools to make prudent decisions. I know what you’re thinking now; I’m a diamond, that’s pretty perfect. I’m done! Sorry – a diamond that comes out of the ground has great potential, but it is simply a piece of well ordered carbon, transformed into a hard, relatively clear piece of mineral. You might think it a piece of quartz if you found one on the ground. A diamond can still be spoiled and wasted. It is not until an expert diamond cutter carefully analyzes the diamond, cuts and polishes the facets of its surface, that a diamond shows its true character. At that point, the diamond reaches its pinnacle, able to reflect and refract light, to split the visible light of our sun into incredible diverse labels. Obviously, the last bit of our metaphor concerns the next part of your life. You have had the opportunity to maximize your potential, to take this incredible gift that we call education and burnish yourselves until you too reflect the visible life of our world. It will be hard work sometimes, like the diamond cutter requires precision, patience and skill, but in the end, great potential is transformed into something spectacular.”

Before awarding the diplomas, Head of School, Bradford D. Bates, spoke about how this class had experienced the exciting

addition of a new observatory, a new theater and classroom building, as well as a new on-campus ski slope! He also commented on how over the past 75 years, Dublin School has remained the same

“counter-cultural institution that continues to stand up against an era of immediate gratification, narcissism and indifference.” But the bulk of his remarks reflected on the countless moments during a day, a trimester, a year, when he interacts with the lives of the students themselves.

“While watching a recent girls’ lacrosse game I realized that my experience of watching all of you, whether in the classroom, on stage, in the ring, on the pond, slopes or fields was quite different from everyone else’s. In my privileged seat it is difficult to simply relax and enjoy a game; I know too much about each of you to watch you perform passively. It is an emotional experience. As I watched our girls run around the field that day during one of their many wins, I remembered a Christopher Walken movie from the 1980’s in which Walken’s character has the ability to see the future of everyone he meets or touches. I have the opposite experience, I see moments from

your past three years speed through my consciousness. That game was like so many other games, races, performances, classes, and ceremonies during which images flashed through my head of the time you got up to make your first announcement in Morning Meeting, when you went home suddenly to deal with a family crisis, when you burst into my office to share your college news, when you cried because a teacher was being tough on you even though deep down you knew they were right to be tough, the time you buried my office in snow when I was out in California, when you were suspended for breaking a major school rule, when you earned your first “A” in English, when the right girl asked you to the prom, when you tried cross country skiing for the first time, when you struggled to get along with your roommate who is now your best friend, when your painting won an award, when you summited Mount Monadnock on your first mountain day, when you broke out of your shell during the Winterfest lip-sync contest, when you told me that my tie didn’t match my jacket, when you sang a solo at the coffee house, when you went over your first Class 5 rapid, when you stayed up all night long writing your US History paper, and when you enjoyed the sweet and delectable taste of your first Moxie Soda Award. I leave these games, races, classes and performances, feeling exhausted, yet exhilarated by the experience of reflecting on your lives.”

“I’m not sure that there is another school in which you can simply walk outside and ski, or look at Jupiter through a telescope, or row on a lake, or get the Head of School to sing on stage with you.”

– Eddie O’Donnell ’11

"When your class asked if I could deliver your senior farewell speech, my first instinct was to say NO and you know why. You know that I have a fear of speaking in public and a tendency to tear up very easily on happy days such as graduation. After giving the initial answer, I got to thinking what I had done. We as faculty ask you to be courageous and uncomfortable by trying new things. So, I decided to change my answer to a YES! (Fortunately, I did not say what language I’ll be giving my speech in, so here it goes in Korean …)" -Hong Jung Yun ’02

“There is no greater cheerleader for our students and faculty or for me than Judy. She is tough, loving, funny, and I am sure Jim will tell you, incredibly determined. If you don’t believe me, challenge her to a tennis match this afternoon.” – Brad Bates

“Never let someone tell you what you can or cannot be. When living in the moment you often take your experience for granted, but be proud that you went to Dublin School, because it truly is a special place and we will never be able to recreate this again.”

- Brittany Williams ’11

P.J. O’ Rourke, American political satirist, journalist, writer and author, was the 2011 Dublin School Commencement speaker. The author of sixteen books, his latest

entitled Don’t Vote, It Just Encourages the Bastards, P.J. O’Rourke forces his audiences to think critically about issues, sometimes telling us what we might not want to hear, but making us laugh with him and often at ourselves. His work has been seen on 60 Minutes, National Public Radio, and in The Atlantic Monthly and The Weekly Standard. According to 60 Minutes he is the most quoted living man in The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations. P.J. co-wrote, with Douglas Kenney, National Lampoon’s 1964 High School Yearbook, a bestseller, which influenced the themes in the movie Animal House. It was indeed an honor to have P.J. speak at Dublin School’s 75th Anniversarygraduation ceremony.

P.J. O’ROURKEAMERICAN POLITICAL SATIRIST

The traditional role of the high school commence-ment speaker is to try to bore the Senior Class to death. You see, today, after you receive your high school diplomas, you officially cease to be children. So this is the grown-up world’s last opportunity to make you squirm and fidget with the full force of the adult power to create enormous tedium. And we mean to take full advantage of the circumstances. I suggest you relax and adopt a positive attitude. Today you still have teachers and parents and a visiting speaker to bore you. After today you'll be facing one of the harsh realities of maturity-- the need to bore yourself. (I've found yard care valuable in this respect.)

The other traditional role of the commencement speaker is to give advice. I don't know why. You are younger and fitter than I am. You went to Dublin School, so you are smarter than I am. You are graduating from Dublin School, so you are better educated than I am. And you didn't get kicked out of Dublin School, so you are sneakier than I am. I, of course, am more experienced than you are – being four times your age. But all that means is, I’ve done and said four times as many stupid things as you have. How this qualifies me to give advice, I can't imagine. So I was thinking... What advice could I possibly give to such a young, fit, smart, educated, and sneaky bunch as this? And the most substantive thing I could come up with was: Don't pierce your tongue.

I don't mean to be culturally insensitive here. If it's part of your ethnic heritage... That is, if you come from a place where everyone has a stud in his or her tongue --Seattle, for instance, then by all means go ahead. But, assuming that most of you are from the real world - don't do it. I say this because you may discover the cure for cancer, or the unified field theory in physics, or you may invent a cheap, renewable, non-polluting form of energy. But it won't matter. All anybody will ever be able to think about you is: “She’s got this thing sticking right through her tongue.” So that's my

advice to you. Don't pierce your tongue.

You know, I love the whole idea of my generation giving advice to yours. I come from the 1960s generation -- the most wisdom-free generation ever. We are the generation who thought we could end the Vietnam War by growing our hair long and dressing like circus clowns. We believed drugs would change everything. And drugs did change everything -- for Jimmie Hendrix. True my generation did have some good musicians. But most of them died from drug overdoses. And the musicians who didn’t die are still out there touring – Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith. So my advice is don't start a rock band, you’ll never make a penny.

My generation spoiled everything for future generations of young people. It has always been the special prerogative of youth to look and act weird and shock the grown-ups. But my generation exhausted the earth's resources of weird. Weird clothes -- we wore 'em. Weird beards -- we grew 'em. Weird words and phrases -- we said 'em. Now it's your turn to be weird. And all the weird is used up. You'll have to get your tongue pierced after all. Ouch! That's going to hurt. I'm sorry.

Yes, there is irony in a member of my generation giving advice to yours. But here I am. With a job to do. And in the course of 63 years I must have picked up some bits of wisdom that I can pass along. I'm thinking here. Never pull a crew neck sweater on over your head while you've got a lit cigar in your mouth. I learned that the hard way. Never name your dog anything you're embarrassed to yell loudly. You don't want to be standing out on your back steps in the middle of the night shouting "Death Cab for Cutie!" The neighbors will call Homeland Security. And what else have I learned? Well, whenever you do any public speaking, right before you go up to the podium... check your fly. That's it. That's all I know. I really can't give you any other advice. But maybe I can

give you something in the way of an antidote to all the advice you are getting from other people. An advice vaccine, so to speak. Because, if there is one thing I can remember about being your age it's getting advice -- heaps and piles of pompous, stuffy, patronizing, self-important advice. So I know, for instance, that people are telling you that you have special responsibilities because you are privileged to be graduates of a top New England prep school. "To those whom much is given, much is required." People are telling you that. And you are privileged. This is a fine institution. And all of you are headed to other fine institutions (not including the Betty Ford Clinic, I hope). And these institutions will give you advantages in life. So you’re privileged.

And you have responsibilities because of your privilege, but you also have my sympathy because of your privilege. Being privileged means that when you succeed in life, people won’t praise you. People will think you succeeded because you were lucky. And when you fail, you'll get no sympathy, people will look down on you because, even with all your luck, you failed.

So don't be too impressed with your advantages in life or too worried about the duties that come with them. Privilege is like any other kind of luck -- good, bad or indifferent. It doesn't make you better -- or worse -- or separate -- from the rest of humanity. Accept your good luck and do as well as you can with it. Believe me, you'll get plenty of bad luck, too. We all do. When that happens, the same people who scolded you about your advantages will be scolding you about your disadvantages. "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade," they'll tell you. So let me tell you: “When life hands you grapes, make champagne.” Now, I said you're all going on to fine institutions -- some of the best colleges and universities in America. And I want to remind you to get a useless education while you’re there. What I mean is take all sorts of pointless and impractical courses like Literature

and Philosophy. And don't keep asking yourself, "How am I going to get a job in Philosophy? I looked at the want ads on Craig’s List and there are no openings for ‘Philosopher.’” Education isn't vocational training. The real purpose of education is to expose you to what a bunch of dead smart people have been thinking about for the past several thousand years – to broaden your outlook and make you a civilized person. That education is useless from a practical point of view. It won't teach you how to get a job. It won't even teach you how to get a welfare check.

"So what's in it for me?" you ask. And the answer is: nothing. You, personally, won't get a thing out of becoming a civilized person. It's the rest of us who benefit from your being civilized -- the nation, society, the world in general, and especially your parents. They'd love to be able to talk to you about something besides YouTube. And while you're getting your useless education don't forget to goof off, be irresponsible and act like a fool. I know this sounds terrible to the parents in the audience. But I'd like to remind you parents that there's something worse than young people acting up -- and that's when middle-aged people do it. It's very

important that adolescents get adolescence out of their systems while they're sti1l young.

You see, you graduates, you're sort of puppies right now -- sociologically speaking. And, you know, when a puppy chews up the slippers and gnaws on a chair and so forth, well, it's cute. But what about a great big adult dog that whines all night and eats your shoes and messes on the floor? It gets put down. So, when it comes to being young -- get over it. Now. We don't want a bunch of skateboarding fifty-year-olds playing video games, getting tongue jewelry and posting pictures of themselves in their big ugly underwear on Face Book.

And when this goofing off, this irresponsibility, this acting like a fool starts to catch up with you -- run away from your problems! Advice-giving type people are always telling you "You can't run away from your problems." They’re wrong. I mean, if you have a drinking problem, run like the dickens. Get away from alcohol. Don't drink. If you have a problem with your family, try leaving home and striking out on your own. More people get into trouble by staying with bad

things than by running away from them. And one good thing about being young and fit and as yet unburdened by most of life's responsibilities -- you can run from your troubles a lot faster and a lot farther than I can. Then, when you're done getting a useless education, being an adolescent jerk and running away from your problems, go out and fail. Ask the average high school graduate what his or her ambition is and you'll hear the answer: "To be successful at what ever I choose to do." That's wrong. What if the first thing you choose to do is fry Chicken McNuggets? And what if you're so successful at it that McDonald's will never promote you, because nobody can fry those McNuggets the way you do? You could be so successful that you fry Chicken McNuggets for the rest of your life.

Real success -- and by that I don't mean just money or fame, but the ability to do something that matters, whether it's raising kids, running Goldman Sachs or playing the oboe in the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra… Real success is a product of failure.

This award is given to that woman who, in the opinion of the faculty, is Dublin’s strongest female member of the junior class, a young woman who has made an outstanding contribution to her school in terms of leadership, citizenship and scholastic achievement.

Seoul, Korea

On June 16, 2011 Dublin School faculty members, Brad Bates, Sarah Doenmez, Michelle Knapp, Brooks Johnson, Caroline Doenmez and I, along with four

students, Peter Dopp ’12, AJ Svendsen ’12, Ben Phillips ’14, William Simpson ’14, left for China on a fantastic trip that will not soon be forgotten!

Unlike many school trips aboard, this trip was not conducted in a tour bus with a stranger as a tour guide, but one where we were cared for every step of the way by our students, parents and friends in China. The group spent 10 days visiting with Dublin School families in China, seeing the sights in Beijing and Shanghai and at every turn, finding another friendly, familiar face in the crowd to greet us!

In Beijing, we had our first “Dublin School Beijing Whistle Stop” with over 60 people in attendance. It was a wonderful event that showcased both our American and Chinese Dublin School students and how academically and personally rewarding it is for both groups to have each other as classmates. A special thank you to Peter Peng for hosting the event and all our Chinese families who were able to join us.

“I thought it was interesting how it was so populated, yet society still functioned in its own way. Life is faster in China, and people are very competitive, yet are welcoming and warm to one another. The food was delicious and filling, the countryside is interesting and vast, and the landmarks are striking, whether ancient or modern. There is still much mystery within the country and its government, which I hope I can learn about. The most surprising thing to me was how much I had to give multiple toasts and speeches. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip though.”

- Peter Dopp ’12

China Trip continued page 32

MORE THAN A TRIP TO CHINAA V I S I T W I T H F R I E N D S

“The greatest aspect of the trip by far was seeing Dublin students and their families in their home culture. All the families hosted us and treated us to lavish and delicious meals in beautiful locations. We felt very spoiled!” - Sarah Doenmez


China Trip continued from page 31

“The buildings in China were the highlight for me. The Forbidden City that looks like a single building when you go in and then goes on forever is spectacular! Equally memorable was the beautiful airport in Beijing and the ultra modern buildings of Shanghai. It was a fantastic trip.”

- Will Simpson ’14

“What I enjoyed most about China was the food. Although the food had an interesting taste, it was still fun to try. I had many different kinds of food such as scorpion, snake, worm and much more! I had a lot of fun traveling to China and hope to go again soon.” - Ben Phillips ’14

We then had a wonderful visit with our sister school, the Experimental High School to

the Experimental High School attached to Beijing Normal University. The faculty and students attended classes, including a cultural artifacts class and a tea ceremony class, while Brad Bates and I met with several administrators to discuss ways in which our two schools might create other cultural exchange opportunities. After the “school business” was finished, we all enjoyed a visit to the Forbidden City, before Brad and I left for Seoul, Korea to visit with our Korean families. The rest of the group continued sightseeing at the National Museum, the Temple of Heaven and of course the Great Wall, before traveling south to Shangahi, via sleeper train!

In Shanghai, the city itself was the main attraction. As Sarah Doenmez recalls, “We were all impressed with Shanghai’s architecture and all the lights that make the night more exciting than the day.” The group was able to experience first hand the blending of “old and new,” a theme that seems to characterize many Chinese cities, as they toured the pedestrian districts of Nanjing Road, the Jade Buddha temple, and the amazing Shanghai World Financial Center, one of the tallest buildings in the world!

We would like to thank all the Dublin School parents, students and friends who made this incredible trip possible. It was much more than a sightseeing tour; it was truly a visit with friends in an amazing country. Xie Xie!

Ben Blanchard ’47, Ben and his wife, Dot, have recently moved to Charlottesville, Virgina to be closer to their daughter, and are enjoying having more time with family. Ben writes, “The University of Virginia (Virginia Tech’s main rival) is located in Charlottesville; so, I often get the “suspected” look from the local Wahoo fans. I did teach a couple of courses for UVA after retiring from VT; so, I am somewhat familiar with the local scene.”

Roger Burke ’47, is keeping busy these days following the many adventures of his numerous children and grandchildren.

Hank Otto ’47, attended the Class Agent Dinner meeting at this year’s reunion. Having been active in many alumni organizations, Hank and his wife, Bette, were a source of wise counsel as we developed future plans for the Dublin School Alumni Association.

Charles Moizeau ’50, was hoping to attend Alumni Weekend but regrettably was unable to attend due to a knee injury. He sent his best regards to all his classmates and hopes to try again next year.

Patrick Jackson ’57, is busy many weekends guiding for L.L. Bean and is still an avid skier. He writes, “It is very good to hear that skiing is returning to Dublin. It was such a major part of the School in the 50’s and we put so much work into trails and slopes. Paul Lehmann believed in having everyone out-of-doors as much as possible.”

Jonathan Bourne ’58, and wife, Penny, visited campus last fall. They toured the new road and the future location of the Visual Arts Building. They reminisced with Brad Bates about Jonathan’s time at Dublin, especially work gangs with Paul Lehmann, and then enjoyed watching a fall soccer game on Alumni Field.

Thomas Jackson ’58, would love to hear from his fellow classmates. Tom is currently working for 2 companies on a part-time basis as a comptroller, and is involved in 3 non-profits as a treasurer. He keeps busy with his 5 grandchildren and enjoys playing tennis and golf. You can email Tom at [email protected].

Richard Kronick ’58, “My hat is off to Brad and Buddy Bates ’53 and the entire Dublin School Community who were instrumental in reviving a core activity that had been central to Dublin life from the beginning. It is appropriate that the ski area be named in memory of Norm “Pro” Wight who had been at the center of the activity for so many years.” Richard was not able to make it to the Norm Wight dedication but he wanted to pass this message on, “Please remind the skiers, and snowboarders that Norm Wight’s heart and soul are out wandering the old and new trails, watching, protecting, and inspiring students who may have fallen, or become discouraged, to do their best and have fun.”

Cliff Black ’61, recently retired from Amtrak and he and his wife, Jeanine, moved to Winona, Minnesota. They are enjoying a new, relaxed lifestyle with no DC traffic! Cliff returned to campus for the Class of 1961 - 50th Reunion and writes, “It was wonderful to return to Dublin after 50 years’ absence!”

John Klopp ’61, “Wow! 50 Years! Where did the time go? Such fond memories that seem like they were yesterday at Dublin – the old school house, the main house, the soccer and skiing, the work gang, the mischief and occasional fight, and the unforgettable great teachers, along with the Lehmanns! Please give everyone my best!”

Jonathan Teuscher ’63, “I just finished my 41st year working for the Aspen Skiing Company, teaching skiing and over the years administrating training and as a ski representative for Rossignol skis for 39 years. Who would have known that this is still such an enjoyable profession at this later date in life? I guess those years skiing and racing at Dublin sealed the deal! Hi to all I met at Dublin.”

Jim Teuscher ’64, is a sculptor/blacksmith in East Hardwick, Vermont. He runs the White Water Gallery (whitewatergallery.blogspot.com) which showcases the work of internationally recognized local and regional artists who are living in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Adjacent to the gallery is Teuscher’s Antique Auto Enclave which houses one of the most original collections of customized, all steel pre-WWII Ford automobiles.

Guy Jackson ’67, was thrilled to see the resurrection of the ski slope at Dublin. He has many fond memories of skiing and ski jumping on that slope in the 1960’s. This past spring Guy and his wife, Nancy, moved “back” to Dublin, eventually to retire and enjoy the beautiful town and its surroundings.

James Huntington-Meath ’67, was back on campus this spring. He spends his summers here in Dublin, when not in North Carolina, and is hoping to spend half the year up here soon.

Eddie Osgood ’67, was drafted after a semester off at BU and enlisted in the Air Force, then the Army as a Chopper pilot. Then he did a stint in Nam and returned to work with planes and started his own company. He now lives on Sanibel Island and is a broker of yachts and jets. You can visit him online at www.yachtsjets.com. He is planning on attending his 45th Reunion in 2012 and is hoping to see all his Dublin classmates.

Michael Pilert ’67, “Greetings to my Dublin Classmates. Thanks to Rick O’Connor ’67, I have been able to connect with some of you. I’ve worked all over the world since my graduation from Dublin. I chose a career in aviation, and worked as a charter pilot, corporate pilot, airline, air ambulance, and others. I finally settled into a role as a humanitarian aid pilot working in third world countries. I’m still active in aviation, flying and instructing in gliders, and have been an active skydiver for over 40 years. I race sailboats and do quite a bit of recreational sailing here in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. I would like to hear what the rest of you have been doing all these years.” Mike's email address is [email protected].

Kent Bossange ’69, writes that he has had many careers over the years: computer sales, network sales and management, commercial real estate, but now at 60, is doing solar sales and loves it.

William Bucknall ’69, recalls his special Dublin School memory! “Waveforms in physics showed me the foundation of the universe and myself. There is no religion higher than Truth. It takes courage to take the leap of faith for one to know thyself.”

William Dillard ’69, shared with us this Fall that his special Dublin School memory was, “Growing up a long way from home!”

Anne Miller Walker ’72, “Dublin really influenced my life in such a wonderful way, probably the best “decision” I made, but as a teenager back then, probably more of a coercion - me trying to convince my parents to let me into their world of education.” Anne is currently living in Ohio and would like to connect with classmates. You can email her at [email protected].

Dora Moncada Currea ’73, Erika Rogers recently visited Dora and her husband Dave at their home in Washington DC.

Dora says that her parents are doing well, they have moved back to Columbia and are loving it!

Paul Deschenes ’73, is currently teaching middle school social studies at Westmoreland School and loving it. “I think about Dublin School a lot and have bumped into a few alumni and faculty, but I’m regularly in contact with Caroline Morgan ’76. I have been back a couple times to show the kids where dad went to school. They loved it and it was nice to see the new additions at the School.”

Betsy Coleman Potter ’73, is working in Peterborough and stopped by this past spring to see the many changes at Dublin. She reported that her sister, Amy ’78, is living in Maine and is still painting and her exhibits are at Hallowell.

The Dubliner, 35


Lauren McMason ’81, “Hi Jan, thank you for the birthday wishes, I was hoping to come back for the Gala but not able to. I was surfing the school’s website and stumbled across your post on Homeyra Bakshnia and those interesting years. That sure brought back some memories! Sitting in your English classroom with Homeyra and Mike Light, you couldn’t pick three more incredibly different characters than the three of us… and we were, arguing, taunting, and ultimately, communicating. Throw Antonio in there, and I don’t know how we survived. Sure wish I could of joined you for the 75th anniversary. Please pass along my best to any and all. Cheers.”

Nitza Delgado Hollinger '82, wishes she could have been at Dublin for its 75th anniversary celebrations but is not able to attend. She says, "Have lots of fun. Laugh a lot!"

Penelope Perri ’82, sends a big thank you to Jan Haman for instilling her with the love of reading, writing and at its essence, a love of stories. This has served her well in both her careers: first, as an English teacher (and yes, she directed the school’s drama program) and in her second career as a clinical social worker. She explains that her work in counseling people is all about stories too, listening to her clients’ stories and helping them craft what the next chapter of their lives will look like. So much of what she values about herself, she attributes to the time at Dublin, and the nurturing people like Jan and Señor and Dora and Terry Dwyer – they really were family to her. She will always think of Dublin as her home.

Peder Gunness ’83, writes from the sheep ranch he manages in Pray, WY. “I would love to come back and see everyone and everything but we lamb in May.

Today my client, Darren Criss (Blaine on Glee), was nominated for a teen choice award - Breakout Star of the Year. Hopefully by the time the Dubliner comes out that nomination will turn into a win. I also have several clients who are starring in new series that will be out this fall: Grimm (NBC), Homeland (Showtime), Jane By Design (ABC Family), How To Rock (Nickelodeon) - to name a few, so please watch (preferably live).

I am currently the Vice President of the Latino Student Union (H.U.E.L.L.A.S.), as well as a member of the Business Club and the Black Student Union. I also work part time as student supervisor for the Emmanuel College Annual Fund. If any Dublin students are interested in Emmanuel College please send me an email at [email protected].”



Ali Avery ’09, “I’m finishing up the year still as a IR/French major. I’m now considering adding a history minor as well. I’m training to be a student ambassador and applying to be on the Student Community Standards Board. I still work for the athletic department, too. In August I will be heading out to L’Universite Haute Bretagne in Rennes, France. I’m going to be taking French language classes, history and culture of France, and either French foreign policy or Economy of France. It’s a home stay program so I will be living with a family and I’m planning on traveling around and seeing as much of Europe as I can in my free time. Overall, I’m still very happy and successful here at Eckerd College and looking forward to being a junior this fall!”

Ashlee Baker ’09, just completed her sophomore year at Simmons College and worked as an Office Assistant at the Office of Residence Life.

amazed with how much I have grown since freshman year. I’ve never been as busy as I am this past year and I know that I will only become more involved in the Simmons Community in the future!”

Martha Carol ’09, “I can’t believe it’s already been two years! I’m still out in Los Angeles at Occidental College studying for a degree in History and potentially a minor in Urban and Environmental Policy and running off to the beach when I don’t have too many papers to write. This summer I’m planning on working on an organic farm and the restaurant it is associated with in Colorado and will hopefully be conducting an independent research project concerning discrimination against Muslims in the Boulder/Denver area through a grant from my school. Perhaps most excitingly, I am going to be spending the fall semester in Morocco! I’ve been taking Arabic (whew, it is hard!) and I can’t wait!”

I just started getting involved with the rugby club team on campus and it’s been absolutely fantastic! UNH has some great research opportunities for undergrads in both Psychology and the Sciences and I fully plan on taking advantage of as many of them as I can. I am about to start looking at medical schools. Right now I feel like more doors are opening than closing and I can’t wait for the future to get here. I’m looking forward to coming back and seeing all the improvements to the School that I’ve been hearing about.”

Caroline Sarles ’09, “How is everything at Dublin? Everything is going swimmingly here at Vassar. I am loving my time at Vassar College! I declared a Psychology major this fall and have recently decided to add a double major in Political Science. Outside of academics, I am keeping myself very busy between singing in an cappella group and participating in student theater productions. I am extremely excited about my plans to study abroad at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in the spring of 2012.”

IN MEMORY OFWE WILL NEVER FORGET


REPORT of

GIVINGJULY 1, 2010 – JUNE 30, 2011

The following Faculty and Staff were honored by gifts to the 75th Anniversary Annual Fund. Many of them were mentioned numerous times.

Dear Dublin Community,

A year ago when we were discussing our hopes for the 75th Anniversary year, it became clear that one of the primary goals would be to “reconnect” with as many alumni, past parents, former faculty, and friends as possible and reintroduce them to the Dublin School of today. Through a variety of events and with the help of many people, we had over 300 alumni and friends attend one or more of the special events illustrated in this issue of the Dubliner. Not only did people show their support by coming back to campus, but many gave generously to our 75th Anniversary Annual Fund, made a gift to one of our capital projects, informed us about a planned gift to the School or invested in Dublin’s future by making a gift to our endowment.

The total for all gifts for the fiscal year July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 was $1,405,532.19. Of this total, $357,802.10 went to the 75th Anniversary Annual Fund thanks to our many loyal supporters and the over 100 new donors who made a gift this year. This year’s Annual Fund appeal focused on the Dublin School Faculty, past and present. Many of the Annual Fund gifts this year were given in honor of one or more beloved faculty members, all of whom are listed here to the right. In addition to the Annual Fund, a total of $457,273.05 was given to the new Visual Arts Building (check out page 48 to see pictures of the new building) and twenty-three alumni made a gift to our new Norm “Pro” Wight Endowment Fund for Athletics, bringing the fund total to $23,725. Finally, thanks to our fantastic “Grass Auction” at the 75th Anniversary Gala, we received $12,300 in gifts/pledges to expand the campus quad and replace the existing parking area in the middle of campus.

In summary, it was a busy, wonderful anniversary year. Thank you to everyone who participated, gave generously, and showed your support. Everyone would agree that we have a very special School; one that makes our students the focus of every day and has, therefore, been changing lives for over 75 years.

With my deepest thanks,

Erika Rogers Dir. of Development and Alumni Affairs

We have made every effort to be asaccurate as possible in recognizingall those who have contributed toDublin School in the fiscal yearJuly 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.If your name has been listed incorrectly or omitted, please contact the Development Office at (603) 563-1232.

In May, the Crew Team, along with many other students and faculty, gathered at Thorndike Pond to dedicate their newest boat, "Bud Steele," donated by Mr. Timothy Steele, father of Erik '11 and Jillian '13.

The Dubliner, 47

Ideally, every adolescent’s education would take place within a close-knit community of diverse students whose sense of common purpose and individual worth are cultivated daily by a caring,

involved, and talented faculty and administration. In a perfect world, each young person would respond to the assumption of high expectations by discovering hidden strengths and growing to full potential in an environment where responsibility to oneself and others is consistently demanded.

Dublin School was that place for me. Nearly forty years later, I am glad to find that, under the leadership of Brad Bates and his team, it continues to be that place for younger generations of Dublin’s family. My wife, Carrie, and I are honored to be able to provide what we can for the education of future members of our Dublin tribe.”

– David Fetherolf ’74

“

The strength of Dublin School’s future endowment is in large part due to the foresight and support of those who have chosen to include Dublin School in their estate plans. The Lehmann Legacy Circle serves to honor their confidence and vision. Members of the Dublin community who have established bequests, life income gifts or charitable trusts recognize the value of a Dublin School education and their responsibility to help preserve this opportunity for future generations.

If you have Dublin School in your estate plans and have not notified the School or would like more information on how to do so, please contact Erika Rogers, Director of Development and Alumni Affairs at 603-563-1230; [email protected].
