He noticednews about laptop orchestrasat Princeton and Stanford and,enthused, sent an email toComputer Studies DepartmentHead Ben Stumpf ’88. Stumpfsuggested an independentstudy, and Monks found himselfon a musical mission: todiscover what kind of musicwould be true to a computer.“In the past, computer musichad been about press, play,and bob your head, or aboutmaking computers sound likeother instruments,” he said.“My thought was, how woulda computer work as an instrumentin its own right?”Monks, with help from hisfellow laptoppers, used a programcalled Chuck, which letsusers control sound, to composethree of the four piecesthe orchestra prepared forTechExpo. One was modeledon nature sounds, with oneperson simulating a cattlestampede and others mimickingthe sounds of a rooster, awolf, and the wind (whooshedby a finger dragged across atouchpad). The fourth work—a symphony of keyboard clickscalled “CliX,” by Ge Wang—was written for PLOrk, thelaptop orchestra at Princeton.(Hear CA’s version at concordacademy.org/clork.)CA’s laptop orchestra,known as CLOrk, featuredMichael Ciociola ’12, RussellCohen ’09, Andrew Dempsey’11, Alex Fichera ’11, MasonGlidden ’10, and Billy Wood’11, and was conducted byMonks. It was just one highlightof CA’s sixth annualTechExpo, which showcasedstudent work from computerstudies and mathematicscourses, clubs, and independentstudies.On display were a synthesizerthat could turn computerfiles into sound, a 3D modelof flags of the world, a toolboxfor number theorists writtenin the Ruby programminglanguage, an application tosynchronize notes betweenan iPhone and a computer,and a Web site design with anUltimate Frisbee theme. Studentsshared work from theintroductory Creative Computingclass, computer-simulatedgeometry projects, and highspeedmovies filmed byDEMONS, CA’s invention club.“It’s great to see creative usesof technology coming fromdifferent areas of the school,”said Stumpf.Gail FriedmanCold WaterSeven Concord Academystudents have receiveda grant from public televisionstation WGBH to produce adocumentary called Cold Water,focusing on the environmentalfactors affecting New England’sfishing industry.The group, advised bycomputer studies teacher anddocumentarian Ben Stumpf ’88,was among nine finalistsin a competition that challengedstudents to demonstrate theimpact of climate changeon their communities.

C A M P U S N E W SHall Fellow Dr. Spencer Wells at his April assemblyIntrepid ExplorerHall Fellow: Dr. Spencer WellsNational GeographicExplorer-in-ResidenceDr. Spencer Wells, the 2008–09 Hall Fellow, took ConcordPhotos by Sarah Hugenberger ’94Academy on a journey throughsome of the most remoteregions of the world, explainingthe Genographic Project thathe directs and the secrets ofhuman migration patterns thatthe project has discovered.“People are so different,”said Dr. Wells, a populationgeneticist. “But how differentare we really?” Despite obviousphysical variations,humans, when comparedgenetically, are virtually identicalto one another, he said. Infact, all humans alive todayshare a common ancestor wholived as recently as 2,000 generationsago. “We’re all 99.9percent identical, and we’re alleffectively members of anextended African family,” Dr.Wells said.Family trees trace lineagethrough genealogy, but typicallygo back a few generationsat most. Genetic analysiscan trace a family back thousandsof years. National Geographicand IBM’s GenographicProject have collected DNAfrom hundreds of thousands ofpeople around the world,including average Americansand indigenous residents of villagesthat are far removedfrom modern society. Bystudying patterns of geneticvariation, the project is unravelinga story of interconnectivityamong all humans. It is alsoattempting to slow or haltwhat Dr. Wells’ called our current“period of cultural massextinction” by funding variousprograms in indigenousregions around the worldthrough the GenographicLegacy Fund.Dr. Wells’ lecture—whichhe presented for CA parents,alumnae/i, and the public thenight before the Hall Fellowassembly—demonstrated themigration patterns which tookhumans from Africa to everycorner of the earth. Describingthe vast, inhospitable SaharaDesert, he posed the questionof how people in southernAfrica could cross that sandyexpanse and reach the MiddleEast and beyond. The answer:the earth underwent substantialclimactic change, as it doesevery 20,000 to 22,000 yearsbecause of the nature of theearth’s rotation.

Dr. Wells speaking to a class after his assemblyweather and pushed Africanmonsoons northward. “TheSahara used to be grassland,”he said, explaining that itwas not only passable buthabitable.Dr. Wells predicts that naturalclimactic changes, whichhe said humans are exacerbating,will be the main determinantof migration patterns incoming years, just as theywere thousands of years ago.A case in point, he said, wasHurricane Katrina, which displacedabout a million people,many of whom will not return.The presentation explainedthe convergence of scienceand history in the GenographicProject, and the ambitious,broad spectrum of people ithas reached. Last year alone,Dr. Wells traveled to twentyeightcountries.After his presentation, thescientist visited with biologyand advanced biology classes.When a student asked whatwas most important about hiswork, Dr. Wells replied, “thesocial message that we’re allextended cousins.”Race, he warned, hassociological and environmentalcomponents. “The DNAshows that we’re all the same,but if you’ve grown up AfricanAmerican, you know whatit’s like to be discriminatedagainst,” he said. “Changingsocial norms is much moredifficult.”Dr. Wells’ visit was madepossible through ConcordAcademy’s Hall Fellowship,which honors former HeadmistressElizabeth B. Hall(1949–63) by inviting distinguishedlecturers to campusevery year.Strange CoincidenceOne of the hundreds of thousands of people whodonated DNA to the Genographic Project isElizabeth “Ding” Hall Richardson ’55, daughterof former Headmistress Elizabeth B. Hall, forwhom the Hall Fellowship is named. ThoughRichardson did not know the Hall Fellow choiceahead of time, she welcomed the coincidence.One Person’s Trash . . .Last winter, Concord Academydonated a used van to The FoodProject, which runs a farm in nearbyLincoln, Massachusetts.

Students stayed withhost families, immersing inthe new culture. Theyattended classes—from TheBible to Advanced Chemistry—and worked on improvingtheir English. They also visitedBoston, Harvard Square,and historic Concord, andspent time with CA studentswho were eager to learnabout their visitors.Izzy Walsh ’10, whotraveled to France on theexchange over spring vacation,was pleased that thefriends she made in Franceenjoyed their stay at CA.“I was nervous at firstbecause their school is sodifferent from ours,” shesaid, “but they made friendshere. I’m really glad it wentwell.”“I loved having themaround,” said host CarolineHowe ’10, echoing the sentimentsof many CA students.What did the French studentslike best?

She qualified byhaving the winning entry in theMassachusetts History Daystate competition.Erinn’s paper, “Dr. HoraceAllen, American ProtestantMedical Missionary: Leader ofChange in Late Nineteenth-Century Korea,” competed inthe senior division, 9th–12thgrades. Student topics wererequired to relate to this year’sNational History Day theme,“The Individual in History:Actions and Legacies.” Erinnstudied Dr. Allen’s legacy inher CA history course, Eye ofthe Tiger: The History ofKorea, taught by Peter Sun.sonnet, Einstein quotes, andan anonymous quote. Her finaland winning topic: the Lewisand Clark expedition. Katieexplained that the key was nothow much she knew about theexplorers, but how she found amoral or theme and drew pertinentparallels. Katie said shespoke a bit about Lewis andClark, then related them to JohnAdams, George Washington,and even Erin Brockovich—allpeople who “went outside theircomfort zones to make a difference.”Katie qualified for thestate tournament by reachingthe finals in earlier regionaltournaments.Gail FriedmanWho Knew?Concord Academyrecently learned thatit’s connected to one ofthe world’s most belovedChristmas carols. KatherineK. Davis, who wrote“Little Drummer Boy,”also known as “Carol ofthe Drum,” taught musicat CA from 1922 to 1923.The fact popped up on aGoogle alert — somethingthat wasn’t on Davis’mind when she was parum pum pum pumming.Sarah Hugenberger ’94Realities of the BarrioDavidson Lecturer DonnaTabor, of the nonprofitBuilding New Hope, took ConcordAcademy on a virtual tourof Nicaragua’s barrios during anApril assembly, sharing herefforts to bring education and abetter life to the poorest childrenin that Central Americancountry.Tabor, above, showedslides of Nicaragua’s inequities— an opulent home andanother made of tin and scraps.She described contaminatedwater, glue-sniffing teens wholine up daily for a peanut butterand jelly sandwich, ganginfestedneighborhoods, andsmart kids who must workinstead of attending school.In most schools, Tabor said,teachers have no degrees, nobooks, and no bathroom forthe fifty-plus students in eachclass. More than 200,000 childrenthroughout the countryhave no access to education atall—some are shut out by distance,others simply becausethey lack the shoes required foradmittance.Tabor also shared the hopein the barrio: La Quinta LosChavalos, a Building NewHope school educating ninetyeightchildren, and EscuelitaYo Puedo, serving forty. Sheshowed pictures of dogs savedthrough the Casa Lupita animalclinic, and of others spayed andneutered there. Building NewHope’s library, Biblioteca PuedoLeer, was a revolution, shesaid, in an area where readingis not taken for granted.Tabor’s visit to CA wasmade possible through theDavidson Lectureship, whichbrings distinguished speakersto campus. It was establishedin 1966 by Mr. and Mrs. R.W.Davidson in honor of their twodaughters, Anne E. DavidsonKidder ’62 and Jane S.Davidson ’64.Concord Academy MathematicsDepartment HeadGeorge Larivee met Taborwhen he was first looking forvolunteer opportunities inNicaragua. Larivee introducedTabor at the assembly,saying he hopes to inspireothers to service as Tabor hasinspired him.For several summers,Larivee has been on a singlehandedmission to openlibraries in rural Nicaragua.For the first time, this pastsummer, he took along fiveConcord Academy students—Nora Berson ’09, J.J. Radochia’11, Katie Koppel ’10, DanWeiner ’11, and Jen Lamy ’09—as well as a faculty chaperone,French teacher TonhuHoang. Larivee’s group sawfirsthand the kinds of barriosTabor described. The CA groupopened two rural libraries,bringing books to childrenand adults in communitieswhere the joy of reading oftenremains out of reach.7W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y.

Starbucks or Street Senseby Claire Wright ’11We have all been there. You’rewalking down the street in,let’s say, Boston. Juggling a coffee inone hand while holding several shoppingbags in the other. You are thinkingabout the errands you need tocomplete while trying to figure outwho you forgot to call. Then suddenly,someone approaches asking formoney. In less than ten seconds, youhave to decide whether or not to givemoney, and if yes, how much?What makes you feel the need togive—guilt, necessity, compassion?Most of us deal with these questionsalmost every day, but in Washingtonwe were on the other side. Tobe the person everyone tries not tolook at, tries to avoid. We were thepeople asking for money—and it washard.Street Sense is a newspaper wherethe homeless can “give and earn theirtwo cents.” As part of our volunteerwork, we had the chance to sell thepapers and, under the supervision of amentor (a homeless vendor), weheaded to a Chinatown corner to startselling. With ten papers in hand, aneon yellow vest, and several statistics,we began our work. I had never beenso scared—we had to walk up to peopleand ask for their money. Whilementally freaking out, I approachedseveral men dressed in nice businesssuits and carrying briefcases. As I anxiouslyrecited the statistics, silentlypleading for them to buy the paper,they held their hands up and walkedthe other way. OK, I can deal withthis, I thought, and I stepped into thecenter of the block and began again.For two hours I approached people,using the opening line, “Did youknow that there are 3.5 million homelessin America and over 30,000 inDC? Do you have time to show youcare?” Some people immediatelypulled out their wallets and gave,smiling and saying how much theyappreciated our work. One manwalked right through, pushing me outof the way with his hand. Somelaughed, and some didn’t even meetmy eye. Others stopped to talk.There were moments when I wasshocked at how horrible people couldbe, and how bad people were at lying.It wasn’t that people didn’t feel compelledto give that bothered me, butrather that people could look me inthe eye while holding wads of cashand tell me they didn’t have money onthem. Another eye-opener was theStarbucks cups. Now, I have to admitthat I like my nonfat half-shot caramelmacchiato, and I usually don’t thinktwice about handing over $3.95 topay for it. But standing on the streetcorner, I realized that giving up thatdrink one day a week could givesomeone a meal, a shower, anotherstep toward a second chance.I’m not saying that peopleshould give money every time they areasked. That can be careless. And sometimesit isn’t even the money that matters.After being laughed at, ignored,and glared at, even a smile felt like astep forward. Money was great; I feltan overwhelming excitement whenpeople pulled out their wallets. Butnext time I walk down the street andsomeone asks me to give money, Iknow that I will smile, say “hi,” andmaybe think twice about my nonfathalf-shot caramel macchiato.Where the Heart Isby Olivia Pimm ’10We awoke Monday morningready to receive our workassignments. The three leaders ofthe Youth Services OpportunitiesProject (YSOP) asked us to completethe following statement: “Thelast time I saw a homeless person, Ifelt . . .” Among our responses were“helpless,” “guilty,” and “uncomfortable.”Following the exercise, ourgroup leader explained that guilt isultimately useless in the fight to endhomelessness. Later that day, aspeaker from the National Coalitionfor the Homeless spoke of stereotypes:Contrary to our naïveassumptions, not all homeless personsare lazy, jobless, or addicts. Infact, the speaker himself was homelessat the time, due to an accident.It would have never crossed ourminds that this man was homeless,based on his well-groomed appearanceand his ability to relate to theaudience. To conclude his movingspeech, he asked us to acknowledgethe next homeless person weencounter and offer them a simpleand sincere “hello.” He claimed thatany attention he received from peoplepassing by helped him endurethe next hour or so on the streets.Taking the speaker’s words toheart, students kindly greeted eachhomeless person on the streets ofGeorgetown on their way to dinnerlater that night. Indeed, that Mondayhad prepared us for an excitingand humbling week of service in thecapital. Students and staff workedfor a number of different organizations,including Martha’s Table,which provides food, clothing, anddaycare; a local charter school;Street Sense, a newspaper writtenand published by the city’s homelessand formerly homeless; and theCapital Area Food Bank. Work consistedprimarily of babysitting forlow-income families, sorting andpackaging clothing and food, painting,or yard work.CA students and staff agreedthat a service dinner was the highlightof the trip. On Wednesdaynight, following our day’s work,students carefully prepared a mealfor nearly fifty homeless or hungrymembers of the DC community.Later, we sat and ate alongside ourguests, exchanging jokes and stories.To our surprise, conversationflowed naturally, despite our separatelifestyles. The guests openlyoffered students advice—to listen toour parents, stay in school, and setgoals for ourselves. Students listenedattentively, admiring theguests’ wisdom. At the event, I meta young boy named Gabriel, theson of a guest. Like any toddler,Gabriel enjoyed chatting and coloring.I realized that, despite his family’sdifficult situation, Gabrielmaintains his childhood innocence.And I suppose that is how it shouldbe. As the dinner came to a close,each of the guests expressed appreciationfor the volunteers’ time andattention. We too were thankful forthe opportunity to share a mealwith these unique individuals andtheir families.To conclude the week, thegroup revisited the prompt fromthe first day: “The last time I saw ahomeless person I felt . . .” Ourresponses revealed our changed attitudes.Together, we shed our initialdiscomfort and apprehension. Inreality, CA students and the homelesscommunity share similar interests,political beliefs, and sometimeseven childhood upbringings. Mypeers and I returned to our homeswith an entirely new outlook: likeCA community members and theirfamilies, homeless people worldwideare human beings who ultimatelyrequire care, compassion,and, at times, a helping hand.9W W W .

ALUMNAE IPROFILESBrown JohnsonClass of 1970Clued into Kids“We were ready for parents to call ussaying, ‘We’re in America; why do youB Y N A N C Y S H O H E T W E S T ’ 8 4have characters speaking Spanish?’”C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9T H I S10I S S U E• Brown JohnsonClass of 1970• Andrea Morgan DonaghyClass of 1963• John LaurenceClass of 1992• Bess RattrayClass of 1984Courtesy of NickelodeonIf you spend time around young children, youcan probably sing along with the catchy themesongs from Dora the Explorer and Blue’s Clues,TV shows known for their vivid hues anddynamic characters. But you may also haverealized, as most parents have, that thesecolorful animated programs do morethan entertain: they stimulate kids’thought processes by urging them toanswer questions and giving them thetime to think.You can give credit for that to BrownJohnson ’70. The president of animationfor Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids and FamilyGroup and a force behind much of Nickelodeon’spreschool-oriented programming,Johnson is known in the industry for implementing“the pause.” That planned moment ofsilence, after a character asks a thought-provokingquestion, allows young viewers to pause andformulate their own answers.Though PBS’s Sesame Street is usuallyacknowledged for bringing education to children’s television,Johnson envisioned a way to take learning further:by simply inviting children to listen, think, and supplyanswers. The kids seem to appreciate the interactivity.Johnson conceived and developed many of Nickelodeon’smost popular shows for preschoolers, starting with Dora theExplorer and Blue’s Clues, then branching out to newerhits such as Go, Diego, Go!, The Wonder Pets!, TheBackyardigans, and Yo Gabba Gabba! “It’s really all about

Spa Digital‘hola!’ and generally seeing the idea of being from another culture asinteresting and cool and special.”Johnson said her role as parent to her daughter Louisa had“almost everything to do with” her creative vision. “I was alwaysinterested in media,” she said. “But when Louisa was very youngand I saw the way her brain was developing and how the synapseswere being created, questions about brain development and how kidsmake connections really inspired me.”In the twenty-one years since Johnson began at Nickelodeon,her daughter has grown up, and so has children’s media. “One of thebiggest changes I’ve seen is just how much great educational TV isnow available for kids,” she said. “And the use of computers is a bigchange as well. Parents now speak of computers as an educationaltool for their children.”What has not changed much is what’s required to create qualitychildren’s television. “Certainly, classic delivery systems of TVhave been transformed radically in the past few years, but the basicsof the creative process haven’t changed,” Johnson said. “There continuesto be a lot of demand for great stories, wonderful characters,and learning opportunities for kids.”Brown Johnson ’70, above; Blue the dog from Blue’s Clues,below; Dora the Explorer, leftusing television in a brand new way to educate and include kids inthe learning process,” Johnson said.Dora the Explorer is a world awayfrom the Disney princess. Sturdily builtand attired in shorts and a T-shirt, Dorais a bilingual Latina heroine whoromps through the world with a hostof animal friends, her vocabularysprinkled with Spanish phrases thatviewers are encouraged to repeat.Johnson got the idea for Dora in thelate nineties, during a Children Nowdiversity conference that focused onthe underrepresentation of minoritycharacters across all forms ofmedia. Several speakers therepointed out that there were nononwhite children in lead roleson any series for preschoolers.Johnson began to imagine achild who would not only havedarker skin than most TV characters,but who would also make bilingualismand multiculturalism seem likesomething to celebrate.When soccer-playing Dora first appeared, calling her parents“Mami” and “Papi” and shouting “Vamanos!” to her friends, Johnsonbraced for the backlash. “We were ready for parents to call ussaying, ‘We’re in America; why do you have characters speakingSpanish?’” she said. “Instead, we immediately heard from parentswho thought it was great that their kids were using expressions like11W W W .

C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9Andrea Morgan DonaghyClass of 1963Horse PowerAndrea and BunnyIn her earlier career as a therapeutic ridinginstructor, Andrea Morgan Donaghy ’63witnessed the transformations that often resultedwhen people with injuries or disabilities interactedwith horses. Now she’s in a different business—onethat helps the horses undergo thechanges.Ten years ago, Donaghy and her husbandKarl began producing a nutritional mix to help12horses with joint pain, gastrointestinal problems,and other ailments. She had been caring forhorses all her life: growing up in Concord, thenin Connecticut and Virginia, where she raised hertwo daughters. Horses introduced Donaghy toher husband, and together they founded theircompany, Virginia Equine Research, which formulatesand manufactures nutritional supplementsand feeds for horses.The business actually began when Karl gotto know a North Carolina animal nutritionresearcher, best known for developing food supplementsto improve hog growth and health. Aformer racehorse trainer and owner, Karl askedhim why there were no similar products forhorses. The answer was simple: horses, unlikehogs, are not a cash crop. Because they are notsold as meat, there’s no monetary value appliedto their muscle quality or growth rate.Karl didn’t see it that way, and he convincedthe researcher to apply his expertise to horses.With other nutritional experts, they developedthe early iteration of the Donaghys’ flagshipproduct, HorseSense. When Karl persuaded hiswife to give it a try, the results were so impressivethat she converted her twelve horses to thenew feed.When the researcher retired, Archer DanielsMidland bought his livestock divisions but notthe horse formulas. In 1999, the Donaghysstepped in. “We bought the rest of his pre-mix,his eight-hundred-pound barrel of molasses, andsome milled grains, and we started mixing ourown in a wheelbarrow for my horses and thehorses of a couple of friends who, like me, couldnever go back to using ‘mystery’ food from thecommercial companies,” Donaghy said. Withinsix months, the couple had reformulated theproduct and began developing a market.“Most of the problems horses have, whetherdevelopmental or age-related, stem from theirfeedbag,” Donaghy explained. “Vitamins, minerals,and amino acids allow the body to repairitself. Typically, if you have a horse with multiplehealth problems, you’re administering onesupplement for its joints and another for itshooves and another for allergies, and you endup with an unbalanced witches’ brew. It isso much safer to have everything coordinatedin one product that will prevent or resolvemost problems.”The results are in stables and at farmsthroughout the country, and at the VirginiaEquine Research Farm (vaequineresearch.com),where Donaghy raises thoroughbreds. “Ourproducts inevitably save the animal owner moneytoo,” she said. “Improvements to the animal’shealth mean fewer vet bills. But also, the qualityof our products is so high that you feed onlyhalf as much as with commercial feeds.”The proof is also in a client’s corgi knownas BB. Seven years ago, the Donaghys added adog supplement to their product line. They liketo talk about BB—the pooch overcame arthritisand went on to win both the American HerdingBreeds Association Championship and the AmericanKennel Club Championship in one year.

John LaurenceClass of 1992Will PrinkletonThe Artof the Video GameIn his early teens, John Laurence ’92 began developing two compellingand seemingly disparate passions: Chinese culture and, thanksto CA teacher Bill Adams, computer science. He didn’t imagine he’dultimately fuse the two into a single career.But today, Laurence is the director of video game developmentat Sony Online’s Taiwan studio, based in Taipei. He has worked oncomputer and video games—like the hit game Everquest — andconcocts concepts to capture current and future generations of onlinegamers. “We make role-playing games that people from all over theworld can play online together,” Laurence explained. “Players take onroles like warrior, musician, or wizard as they enter a virtual fantasyworld to fight monsters.”The games are popular in the U.S., but even more so in Asia,which Laurence attributes in part to the culture. “In many parts of Asia,houses are very small. Whereas teens in the U.S. might invite kidsover, in China it’s unusual for young people to bring friends home,”he said. “Instead, they meet online or at Internet cafes and playcomputer games.”Laurence currently is designing a game based on the movie KungFu Hustle, produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment four years ago,when it was still affiliated with Sony Online. “For this game, we used atechnique called ‘motion capture’ to replicate a lot of the moves,” hesaid. “We put sensors on the bodies of the actors to capture theirmoves in 3D. I got to work with actors, choreographers, and stuntmenfrom movies including Kill Bill, The Matrix, and Crouching Tiger, HiddenDragon.” The game Kung Fu Hustle has just been released in Asia andis expected to be available in the U.S. later this year.Although he directs a staff of more than forty, Laurence describeshimself as hands-on. “When it comes to the initial narrative [of ourgames], we work with scriptwriters from the Hong Kong film industry,”he said. “But as far as working out the plot of the game—developingscenarios, the background of characters, how they interact with oneanother—I love being involved in that.”Though Laurence grew up in Chicago, he said Taipei now feels likehome. He finds life on the island of Taiwan “a melting pot of influences”from China, nearby Japan, and the West. “Every day I learn somethingnew,” he said. “Working in a different culture with a different languagegives me a chance to constantly see things from a new perspective.As a foreigner, I’m able to take a lot of those references and put theminto our games.”“I’d like to see gaming become . . .a form of artistic expression.”Laurence believes interest in video gaming will continue to grow inthe U.S. “In the past, it had been something of a niche activity, kind of ageeky thing,” he said. “I’d like to see gaming become a bigger part ofpopular culture, something people look at as a form of artisticexpression.” Just as the film world has mainstream releases as well asarthouse films to appeal to a more eclectic crowd, Laurence would liketo see video gamers experiment with various genres.In the meantime, he expects that electronics companies, such asthe one that spawned Sony Online, will improve technology to expandvisual possibilities for video games. “Right now we are limited [in gamedesign] by a flat screen,” he said. “In the future, I’m hoping forholographic displays that allow you to play in 3D.“Dreaming up things like that is the best part of my job: I get to becreative, cook up new ideas, and see them eventually come to light.”13W W W .

Back then, she never wouldhave imagined the outfit she now regularly dons,which includes rubber boots, canvas coveralls,and a hard plastic hat.Earlier this year, Rattray became the secondwoman ever elected as volunteer firefighter in thesmall town of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, where sheand her partner Paul spend half their time.Rattray’s career path has been as colorful asanything on a Paris runway. After a couple yearspost-college in Budapest, she was copyediting atthe magazine Mirabella in New York when shereceived a call from Vogue editor-in-chief AnnaWintour’s office, asking her to interview for aneditorial job—a position Rattray acknowledges“most people in the field would give their rightarm to have.” For the same-day interview, sheborrowed a Rolex watch and a Fendi bag from acoworker and “walked sideways into Anna Wintour’soffice,” hoping to avoid head-on scrutinyfrom the world-famous arbiter of fashion.Given the job, Rattray ascended rapidly tobecome senior features editor. “I was never thatinterested in fashion,” she said. “My challengewas to explain fashion trends in language thatpeople could understand and picture.” Rattraywas senior editor for nearly ten years, until apromising relationship with a boat designer fromCanada wooed her away from the frenetic pace ofManhattan. Vogue let her continue work on acontract basis, writing and editing for the printmagazine as well as the Web site, style.com. NowRattray divides her time between two homes:one in Nova Scotia, where her fiancé Paul’s boatbuildingbusiness is based, and one in EastHampton, New York, where she grew up. Shenotes the irony of telecommuting for Vogue:“sitting in my house in Shelburne, Nova Scotia,population 800, editing runway reviews from theshows in Paris and Milan.”Ever since publication of The Devil WearsPrada, a thinly veiled fictional account of thepressure-cooker atmosphere at Vogue, Rattray hasfielded questions about the glamorous job, butshe said she has neither read the book nor seenthe movie. “The fact is that any one of us whoworked there could have written a schlocky attackstory, but we chose not to,” she said. “I don’thave any interest in criticizing or mocking mypast or present bosses.”Nowadays, that could mean keeping mumabout the fire chief. At a get-together in NovaScotia, Rattray mentioned offhandedly that shehad always admired volunteer firefighters, whoserve in both Shelburne and East Hampton. Aneighbor, a firefighter himself, said he would puther name up for nomination. To Rattray’s surprise,she was voted in. “I assume it was notunanimous,” she commented wryly. “I suspectnot every guy on the force wanted a lady fromNew York joining the team.”Rattray is going through initial training, haslearned to operate fire hydrants, and has enduredthe ritual assigned to each new firefighter: sittingin the dunk tank at the annual Firemen’s Bazaar.It’s a busy, varied life. Along with Vogue andthe fire department, Rattray is trying to publishtwo novels, and she occasionally works for theEast Hampton weekly paper. A year ago, Rattraytraveled to Ethiopia to adopt a one-year-old girlnamed Nettie, an experience she recently wroteabout for Vogue. “The experience of being inEthiopia was much harder than I expected,” shesaid. “It changed my understanding of how muchsuffering can come out of poverty. What I witnessedthere in terms of physical labor, sickness,and starvation completely revealed to me howhideous that suffering is.”She hopes to return to Ethiopia next year toadopt a second child. “I’m having the best timenow,” Rattray said. “Nettie is a jolly, happy childand has been ever since we took her home. She’sa delightful companion.”Bess with Nettie

Meet Rick HardyConcord Academy’s New Head of Schoolby Gail FriedmanTom KatesIT WAS LATE JUNE and Rick Hardy was standingin his new Aloian House office, boxes half unpacked,family photos and artwork still on the floor.The space may have looked disheveled, but it wasnot disorganized. Concord Academy’s new head ofschool was packed and ready to go days before themoving van arrived, according to Hardy’s brother-inlawand childhood friend, Marty Gagne. Gagnementions a sense of order high among Hardy’s charactertraits: “He is kind, generous, and extremely wellorganized.”Hardy, who started as CA’s head of school July 1,is a planner. “When he has something to take care of,he gets it taken care of ahead of time,” said Gagne.The new head made his well-planned move toConcord with his wife Adele—known to friends asDel—who works as a senior clinician in the Speech andSwallowing Disorders Clinic at Brigham and Women’sHospital. Their son Owen is a senior at Milton Academy,where Hardy was interim head of school untilrecently, and their daughter Aidan is a senior atMacalester College.Rick will want you to call him Rick. Even hisformal stationery doesn’t say Richard. “The real me ispretty down to earth,” he said.For a self-described “working class kid,” thatcomes as no surprise. Hardy was weeding cornfields inrural Pelham, New Hampshire when he was nine.He graduated to handling hay and, by the time he wassixteen, was an experienced laborer and handyman.“When we were growing up, working was just what weall did,” he said, referring to his two sisters and threebrothers. He is number three in the lineup.Part of the reason they all worked was to helptheir mother, who raised the family on her earnings asa police department dispatcher after Hardy’s fatherdied. Hardy was nine then. He brought home earningsfrom the farm, as well as skills useful around the modesthouse. But he also brought home a newfound17W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y.

self-assurance. “The work created in me a real sense ofindependence,” he said. “When you learn how to dothings, you become more confident and you think,‘Yes, I can do this.’”Hardy biked all the roads, hiked all the woods,and fished all the streams in Pelham. “I knew everyinch of it,” he said. “By the time I was fourteen I hadtraveled every square mile in my town. Then I wasitching for something new.” His one escape had beenbooks; he used them to venture beyond his ruralworld.Even going to a regional high school in the nexttown over—where “the world got a little bigger”—wasa welcome opportunity to branch beyond Pelham.And teachers there noticed his potential. Today herefers to Mrs. Pryor and Mr. Dionne as if they wereold friends, crediting their early support for his success.Dionne, a math teacher, pushed him to strivebeyond immediate goals. “He was gentle and smartand never let you be satisfied with your last piece ofwork,” said Hardy. Pryor, an English teacher, toldHardy he was a talented writer. He relished the praise.Hardy knows now that his high school writing wasunpolished, to say the least. “It was contrived andunoriginal,” he said, “but she focused on what worked.She made me believe in myself.”His boss at a landscaping company believed inHardy, too, making him a crew chief at age seventeen,the manager of men two and three times his age. Hedescribes one of the company’s clients, Edith Carter, asa mentor, a woman who helped support the civic andcultural development of the nearby city of Nashua.Hardy worked at her home almost every week, untilshe selected him to work alongside her to landscape anew arts and science center that she was supporting.“She was born to privilege, but she had no airs abouther at all,” he said. “I’ve never forgotten that about her.I try to impress upon people, ‘It isn’t about me; it isn’tabout you. It’s about getting good things done.’ Mrs.Carter showed me that.”Change, One Student at a TimeEven though Hardy’s parents didn’t go to college, hismother stressed education. Hardy attended the Universityof New Hampshire right after President Nixon’sWatergate scandal, and he imagined himself effectingchange through a career in government or law. But heloved his literature courses, and he began to grasp theinfluence he could have on the world around himthrough teaching. “I realized that the impact you canhave in a classroom with a small group of students isprofound and every bit as important as writing laws,”he said.Even today, as an administrator, he remains ateacher. He finds the classroom grounding—“an anchor< MARATHON MANRick Hardy is a serious runner.He typically runs two marathonsa year, and has run theBoston Marathon four times.He had to postpone a race lastfall to have a torn meniscusrepaired, but is slowly workinghimself back into marathonshape. On an average week, hecovers a total of twenty-five tothirty miles, running three orfour times a week, with a longerrun, from ten to fourteen milesor more, on weekends. “I likethe solitude,” he said. “I likebeing physically stretched. It’shard for me to describe howgood it feels.”HARDY’S THOUGHTS ON . . .C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9WRITING:“I like to write essays, fiction, andthe occasional poem. I write lessthese days, since I write so much aspart of my work.”18MOVIES:“I have too many favorites to name,but here are a few: The MalteseFalcon, 12 Angry Men, DoubleIndemnity, North by Northwest,The Birds, Love and Death, VickyCristina Barcelona, Local Hero,The Last Seduction, Billy Elliott, Lostin Translation, Slums of BeverlyHills, Tender Mercies, Bull Durham,Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler.”BOOKS:“Authors I love: Raymond Carver,Annie Proulx, Edwidge Danticat,Zadie Smith, Russell Banks, CormacMcCarthy, Tobias Wolff, HarukiMurakami, William Trevor, EdnaO’Brien, William Faulkner, ErnestHemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald,William Shakespeare, Robert Frost,David Mamet . . . I could go on.”GARDENING:“I’ve had gardens in the past;I grew vegetables, herbs, etc. I planto have one here at CA next summer,but much of my gardening is ofthe landscape variety, especiallyreclamation projects—restoringviews, repairing stone walls, workingto create less formal, morenatural spaces outdoors. I enjoyworking with my hands; it’s low-techand very satisfying.”

and an oasis”—a constant to contrast the unpredictablechallenges that face a head of school. He wasted notime heading into the CA classroom: he is teaching afirst-semester English course, Writing the FeatureArticle. “It will be a great way for students to get toknow me, and for me to get to know them,” he said.John Zilliax, who recommended Hardy to replacehim as upper school principal at Milton in 2000, haswitnessed Hardy at work. “I’ve seen him teach,” hesaid. “Rick is a listener and a watcher. He wants todraw students out, so he is unusually sensitive to students’responses and their need to respond.”Hardy likes teenagers. “I like working with thembecause they’re candid,” he said. “They can see throughan adult trying to spin them a yarn.” Like most highschool teaching veterans, he understands that they arenot grown-ups, no matter how grown-up their intellectualinsights may sound. “You can begin to convinceyourself that teenagers are little adults, butthey’re not,” he said. “They are budding intellectuals,but they have very different needs.”CA’s new head of school believes some of the mostimportant moments in his classroom were times heacknowledged that he failed to handle something well.“Acknowledging your flaws is powerful and essential,”he said, adding that high schoolers are pushed to excelin everything, whereas adults can organize their livesaround the areas in which they have talent. “It’srefreshing for students to hear an adult say, ‘I bumpedup against something I don’t do particularly well.’”Zilliax believes this sense of humility makes Hardya natural match for CA, a school Zilliax knows frominterviewing for a head position here himself manyyears ago. “He’s just going to fit Concord, in myview,” he said. “He’s going to fit right in.” He remembersthe seamless transition in 1983, when Hardy—fresh off a stint at a school in St. Louis and a teachingfellowship at Brown—joined Milton’s English department.“Rick was coming into a high-powered department.The students at Milton have always regardedTom Katesthe English department as the best in the school,”Zilliax said. “What I remember is that he just fit in.He might say there was a lot of nurturing, but I don’tthink there was. His instincts are fantastic.”Good Serious SatireOn the wall of Hardy’s new office, Mark Twain occupiesprime wall space. The Twain poster includes aquote: “Let us endeavor so to live that when we cometo die even the undertaker will be sorry.”That poster says a lot about Hardy. For one thing,he is direct and unpretentious. “I view myself as afairly plainspoken individual,” he said. “I don’t standon formality.” He is a writer; he taught English atMilton for twenty-four years, before becoming upperMUSIC:“I can hear my daughter’s voice saying,‘Careful here, Dad . . .’ I like allkinds of music—Johnny Cash,Steve Earle, Alison Krauss, LucindaWilliams, Lori McKenna, Alicia Keys,Bob Dylan. Traditional Irish music,bluegrass, country music (traditional,that is), classical, jazz, rock and roll,even some gospel (Sam Cookesinging ‘The Hem of His Garment,’for instance).”FOOD:“Simple tastes: good pasta, a hotdog at Fenway, grilled pizza (whichI make pretty well), good barbecue,sushi, homemade bread. I cando a few types myself—no breadmachines, however; everythingby hand.”SPORTS:To watch: “Baseball, basketball,soccer, field hockey (I’m actuallybeginning to understand this one!),and lacrosse (very fast).” To play:“Formerly basketball, which I playedfor years until my joints complainedtoo much. Now it’s running(distance) and golf (I’m not verygood, but I do enjoy it.) I hope to getback to playing tennis and squashas well.” Teams: “Red Sox andCeltics. I’ve been a fan since I wasten years old.”HIS FAVORITE PLACE:“The Southwest coast of Ireland(County Clare and County Kerry).Del and I went there for our twentyfifthwedding anniversary.

Tom KatesAll in the FamilyRick Hardy and his wife Del, on theporch of their new CA homeAfortuitous case of doublebookingbrought Adele Gagneand Rick Hardy together.They had attended the sameNew Hampshire high school, buthardly knew each other there. Then,one afternoon in 1980, Gagne’sbrother got a call from Hardy, aclose friend of his.Gagne was about to leave forgraduate school, and she and herbrother had agreed to go out thatevening. She didn’t hesitate to stepin when she overheard him makingplans with Hardy. “I marched upand said, ‘You have plans with methis evening.’”Her brother asked Hardy, “Is itokay if my sister comes along?”“I’m going,” she announced.So the three went out together.Four years later, Hardy and Gagnewere married.Today, Gagne works part-timeas a senior clinician in the Speechand Swallowing Disorders Clinic atBrigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston, a department she formerlydirected. At work, she might helpsomeone recover the ability toswallow after cancer treatments orprovide therapy so tube-fed patientscan eat normally again.Gagne is known by her propername, Adele, at the hospital, whilefamily and friends tend to call herDel. “I feel like I have a split personality,”she said. “In my professionallife, I’ve always been Adele. Yeteveryone who knows me throughRick and family knows me as Del. Ianswer to either one equally.”Gagne and Hardy moved into228 Main Street in late June, afterliving on the campus of MiltonAcademy for twenty-five years.They quickly felt at home. “It’s awonderful town. It’s a beautifulcampus. Everyone has been verywelcoming,” said Gagne, whohas enjoyed walking through thewoods and fields in the town ofConcord. The new head of schooland his wife have taken a CAcanoe out on the Sudbury River,which Gagne described as “likeglass, with dragonflies dancingalong the surface.”She looks forward to morecanoeing, lots of extended walks,and the opportunity to meet theConcord Academy family. “I’mdelighted to be here,” she said.C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9school principal and eventually interim head of school.And he loves good satire; both Twain and CalvinTrillin are high on the Hardy pedestal, though he alsomentions the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, and JerrySeinfeld among his favorite humorists. Humor isimportant to Hardy. “I’m not one of those dour individualswho can’t make light of things,” he said. “I loveto laugh. I think humor leavens life in a very importantway. You’ve got to be able to laugh at yourself.”Marty Gagne knows that humor well. Duringjoint family vacations on Cape Cod, the two plannedwhat Gagne called “stupid movie night.” It was not ahighbrow affair. But given a choice, Hardy would pickverbal humor over slapstick. “I like a good pratfall,” hesaid. “But I love a good deadpan.”A ready laugh in no way makes Hardy less serious.It’s more about perspective. “I don’t have to behave asthough there’s a cloud over me to convince peoplethat I’m serious,” he said.But he is, and he sounds it when he discusses someof his preliminary goals at CA. He speaks passionatelyabout educational access. “I think schools like this oneexist to provide access to a wide range of students,” hesaid. “I want to ensure that we continue to be able tooffer that experience.” He also speaks of a commitmentto honor and fairly compensate teachers, and to continueefforts to develop the new Arena Farms property.Hardy also hopes to increase Concord Academy’svisibility, to share its mission more widely. “I’d likemore people to know about this remarkable place,” hesaid. “It really is special.”20Rick Hardy (standing) and former colleague John Zilliaxin a reading of Speed the Plow at Milton Academy< MUCH ADOABOUT MAMETFormer Milton Academy colleagueJohn Zilliax notes acting as aprimary Hardy avocation—thoughHardy didn’t mention it himself.“Ask him about it,” Zilliax urged.Hardy took to the stage more thanonce in a while, collaborating withZilliax on numerous faculty plays,and often playing a prominent role.Zilliax ticks off some of the productions:The Rivals, How the OtherHalf Loves, The Zoo Story, TrueWest, Speed the Plow, Wild Honey,The Caucasian Chalk Circle, andRomeo and Juliet. Several workswere by playwright David Mamet,including The Duck Variations,which Zilliax and Hardy stagedthree times.

A mound of perfect,white marble eggs counterbalancesa pyre of charred wood andwalking canes, which conceals acorroded copper globe. The workexplores the tension betweenopposites: equilibrium and potential.At right, the artist, KristinJones ’75.K R I S T I N J O N E S ’7 5Diane Roehmby Gail Friedmann an early March morning in New York, theWest Village is waking up. The streets are fullof movement: pedestrians walk with purpose,shops and restaurants gear up for the day’sbusiness. Five steep flights above the activity, KristinJones ’75 is in her loft having breakfast: a grapefruit, steelcutoatmeal, and a home-brewed caffé latte—not unlikethe coffee she drinks in Italy. She is in Rome so muchthese days that New York has become her second home.In Jones’ living room, unfinished wood beams, fivefeet below the ceiling, cut through the open space. Awhite, circular art work, one of her own, hangs on thefaded white brick wall, its recessed “eye” like a crater inthe middle. A large collection of plumb-bobs is suspendedlike jewels near a window. Nearby, two glass eyes peerover a collection of religious icons that might have onceadorned a Byzantine church.Jones’ small kitchen is guarded by a mosaic eye—similar to the three hundred eyes that watch commutersin New York’s World Trade Center–Park Place subwaystation. They are hardly noticed in the rush there, but areseeing eyes nonetheless. Beyond the kitchen is an areawith two drafting tables and several computers, and, onthe wall, more mosaic eyes, multicolored rows of them,made from natural stone, haunting. Andrew Ginzel, whohas collaborated with Jones since 1983, appears withtwo young apprentices, who get to work planning a proposalfor the University of Colorado at Boulder’s VisualArts Complex. It’s one of many projects in the busy Jones-Ginzel collaboration.Kristin Jones doesn’t see things the way most of usdo. Where we see an empty space, she sees opportunity.Where we see a neglected river, she imagines a watertheatre. Where we see nothing, she perceives the contextas a frame for an art work that can bring meaning to avoid. Jones thinks on a grand scale.The installation artist is behind numerous highly visiblepublic art works—the kind people walk by and notice.She likens art in public space to theatre, but an accessiblevariety, not destined only for the eyes of the privileged.In her installations, she aims to “nurture and capture theindividual’s imagination,” but also to allow each onlookerto participate.The Jones-Ginzel Web site (jonesginzel.com) listsmore than fifty projects since 1990, from Polarities, covering200,000 square feet of floor in the Kansas City airport,to Plethora, an outdoor installation in New Delhi thatincludes a magnificent, live white bullock; from Apostasy,two giant flags and fifteen topiary figures commissionedby Atlanta’s Committee for the Olympic Games, to themirrored Panopia in a Chicago police station.Jones describes herself as naïve, and it must be true.A pragmatist would never attempt what she has, includingher most recent project and passion—Tevereterno, mean-21W W W .

Making the Wolves, Rome2005Artists at work are dwarfed bythe giant she-wolf, created forJones’ Tevereterno project andbased on iconic images up to3,000 years old.ing Eternal Tiber. Tevereterno, a multidisciplinary project,adopts a single section of Rome’s Tiber River and transformsit into an open-air stage for large-scale artistic installationsthat draw attention to both the beauty and neglectof the river. Jones believes in the artist’s role to raiseawareness and to celebrate the wonder of nature.The Tiber first entered Jones’ consciousness in1983, when she was in Rome on her first of two FulbrightFellowships. She noticed the Tiber was isolated from thecity by thirty-two-foot-high embankments, and thatRomans, unlike Parisians, hardly know the names of theirlocal bridges. She was drawn to the emptiness of thederelict waterway, abandoned by its city.Jones would gaze down the straight strip of riverbetween the bridges Sisto and Mazzini and wonder,“Does anybody see what I see?” She saw potential for awater theatre—“where the river, where water itself couldbe celebrated rather than neglected.” Where others sawmurky water, she saw the “crystalline geometry of a parallelogram.”When Jones and Ginzel received the AmericanAcademy in Rome’s prestigious Rome Prize in 1994 andspent a year in the city, Jones sought drawings of the areafrom the city planning office. It was her first step towardTevereterno.The goal of the project is to create a lively plaza withprogrammed contemporary events, a piazza for the Tiber—the Piazza Tevere. According to www.tevereterno.it,the hope is to capture the attention of Rome’s publicadministration and to build enough credibility that internationalartists could be invited to create innovative, sitespecificart installations that would stimulate a dialoguebetween nature and the urban construct, between historyand present. Jones has worked tirelessly with Romancolleagues on the board of the Italian nonprofit culturalassociation to launch the Tevereterno concept and todemonstrate its potential to the city.So far, Jones has devoted her creative talents to thestaging of a series of annual events for the summer solstice,for which numerous composers and visual artistswere invited to collaborate.

She Wolves, commissionedfor Tevereterno,brought Rome’s mythologicalicon to life on the banks of theTiber River.event, in 2005, on a midsummer’s night under a full moon,2,758 torches burned from sunset to dawn on the Tiber. Achoir of more than one hundred harmonic voices sang tothe river and to a parade of twelve giant she-wolves —drawings of iconic symbols of the city of Rome, translatedby Jones from historic sources that span more than 3,000years. For another Tevereterno event, “Ombre dal Lupercale,”Jones invited six visual artists to collaborate with sixcomposers on a 2006 solstice program: projections andhigh fidelity sound compositions created for the river filledthe site and drew more than 10,000 visitors in a singlenight. In 2007, two musical compositions were written foran ensemble of eighteen musicians who were spreadalong the 1,800-foot-long embankments of the Tiber, while1,000 floating torches drew a line of light down the centralchannel of the river. In 2008, compositions and projectionsfrom these Rome events were presented on New York’sHudson River, during the River to River Festival.Jones has been working with the city of Rome since2001, taking on the capital’s labyrinthine bureaucracy.Thanks in part to her tenacity, the concept of a watertheatre is now incorporated into Rome’s new city plan,and Tevereterno is officially administered as an Italiannonprofit.In Rome, Jones is committed to yet another grandscaleproject, one encumbered by enormous bureaucraticchallenges: she has proposed an ephemeral work entitledGravity, made of hundreds of individual elastic threadsthat would descend from the oculus of the Pantheontoward its domed floor. Jones’ Web site describes theproject: “A luminous cone of 360 fine, elastic threads willdescend from the Pantheon’s oculus and come to a singlepoint below, held by a bronze plummet marking the centerof gravity. The delicate rays of the ephemeral, volumetric23W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y. O R G F A L L 2 0 0 9

Jones says thegossamer cone, taut like thestrings of a harp, would reflect theprecise mathematical propertiesof the Pantheon that inspire awein scholars and architects.drawing will capture the sun’s movement as it spiralswithin the dome. Gravity will dramatize the simple powerof geometry and light. The gossamer form will be an explorationof the relationship between the physicaland the ethereal, the vast infinity of the unknown, andmortality . . .”Jones said she was inspired while watching rain fallthough the Pantheon’s oculus, and then drew a cone with360 threads completing its circle. “There is a magic numberto everything,” she said. “The building is so mathematicallyexquisite—essentially the building has designeda piece for me. I’m just the one who perceives it.” A pantologistlater explained to Jones the relationship betweenthe monument’s oculus and the diameter of the dome,likening the proportions to those of the human eye. “Theoculus is the iris, and the sphere is the eye,” he told her.So far, authorities have rejected Jones’ Pantheon installation,but she presses on. “I believe the work was meantto be. The building itself suggests it,” she said.Jones has substantial experience with intricate threadinstallations —she constructed thousands of individualelastic threads into a work of art within a skylit room in theCushing Gallery in Newport, Rhode Island, which “dependingon the clouds, would completely disappear.” And atYale, her outdoor elastic-ribbon exhibition, Smoke Hedge,transformed the Beinecke Plaza. “It revealed the propertiesof the light and the wind that are there,” she said.Ephemeral, intangible qualities like light and wind areleading actors in Jones’ theatre of art. Another recurringcharacter is time, which plays a prominent role in manyof Jones’ works, including her most controversial, Metronome,in New York City’s Union Square. “Metronome isan investigation into the nature of time,” Jones and GinzelC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 924Marcello Melis / Carlo Maria Ciampoliwrote in 1999, when it opened. “. . . This composite workintends to evoke contemplation on the dynamic flux ofthe city. The elements suggest the instant and infinity,astronomical sequence, geological epoch, and ephemerality.Metronome is meant to be integral to the very history,architectural fabric, spirit, and vitality of the city. Ultimately,the work is an ode to mortality and the impossibility ofknowing time.”When the project launched, steam consistently

Metronome, New York City1998emerged from the gold leaf and concentric circles on thefaçade of One Union Square South. “The vapor wasintended to emanate around the clock and erupt at noon,“a geothermal reminder that we live on a live planet withphysical phenomena,” Jones said. But the developerturned off the steam, ostensibly because of problems withicicles and moisture.Without the steam, Jones said, Metronome is notartwork. “The piece is an over-the-top, maximalist work. Asequence of sounds integrates with the steam. The wholenotion of Metronome, the whole reason for the project,was the fleeting, intangible steam,” she said.The work was commissioned when Jones and Ginzelwon a competition run for the building’s developer by thePublic Art Fund and the Municipal Art Society. “It was anenormous challenge to construct,” Jones said. “The brickworkitself is a miracle of craftsmanship.” Jones said sheand Ginzel had no choice but to work directly with a constructionmanagement firm instead of with an art consultant,who might have mediated and “helped defend andguarantee the integrity of the work.”Jones now describes the project as “a classic dramabetween idealistic artists and pragmatic financiers.” It’sa familiar turmoil to Jones, yet the idealist in her alwaysperseveres. Today, she simply calls Metronome incomplete.She would love to tune the digital clock, light thewall, control the steam, and turn on the sound.As a ballast to such large-scale projects and thethorny concepts they tackle, Jones also creates a seriesof studio works — “exquisite little tableaus” of nature. Inher Wind Drawings series, “the plants actually do thedrawings,” she said. “I put a drop of paint on the leaf andthe leaf makes the drawing. I hold the paper.” Her inkdrawings and time-lapse photography all reflect motionand change.Like her art, Jones is frequently in motion. She thinksnothing of biking from her Greenwich Village apartment tothe Upper West side. She shuttles between New York andRome, wondrous at how the two cities complement eachother. The daughter of a diplomat, Jones grew adept atadapting. “When people ask where I was born, I respond,“in motion.” Still, there is balance. Jones meditates daily,T.

“Have my parents essentially boughtmy way out of the draft? Were it not formoney, would I be in Iraq?”Cliff Goes to WarMusings on a CA Roommate in Iraqby Andrew Wolf ’06CLIFF FARRAR ’06 returned from Iraq lastFebruary and is currently based at Camp Lejeunein North Carolina. He expects to head toAfghanistan next winter or spring; it could be hisfinal mission in the Marine Corps, which heexpects to leave in 2011.Andrew Wolf ’06 roomed with Farrar atConcord Academy. His musings on Farrar’s enlistmentin the U.S. Marine Corps were originallypublished in 2008, shortly before Farrar went toIraq. This article first appeared in Kitsch magazine(kitschmag.com), a student publication at CornellUniversity, where Wolf is a senior.Iwas against the war in Iraq from the beginning. In fiveyears, it’s cost us 4,000 troops and 450 million dollars aday, over three trillion in total. The reason we went to warwas never clear to me. We were told it was WMDs, thenIraq’s supposed connection to Al Qaeda, while others saidit was about oil, or about hubris and shame. Recently itwas reported that while America flounders in a war-inducedbudget deficit, the Iraqi government is running a budgetsurplus. Asked why the government does not invest thatmoney in reconstruction, an Iraqi official simply said, “Whywould we pay when America will pay for us?”All this was easy to say before with little effort or thoughton my part. Then I found out that my friend and formerroommate at boarding school, Cliff, had dropped out ofcollege and joined the Marines. If anyone should be in thearmed forces, it’s Cliff. He is a natural leader, unfazed byanything, with an unwavering sense of duty. He is generous,he has no fear, and he has the most impressive hand-eyecoordination I have ever seen (I once saw him beat an entirelevel of Tony Hawk in one trick). I have no doubt he is anamazing Marine, but I couldn’t understand why he wouldjoin. He shipped off to Iraq in June 2008.In an attempt to reconcile my own feelings I emailedhim at basic training. What follows is a transcript of ourcorrespondence.Cliff Farrar ’06, U.S. MarineWhy did you choose to join the Marines?I joined the Marine Corps because of what I personallythought I’d get out of it. I found myself in college after attendingfour years of boarding school at Concord Academy anddidn’t really see myself going anywhere. I started thinkingabout it the first couple months that I was at Guilford. Ithought it would give me some life skills that would help meout in the future (discipline, a larger picture of things, etc.).What was the training like? How did you still manage tosmile in those pictures after they tried to break you?Training has been difficult, as it should be. I left for boot campMarch 11, 2007. It lasted thirteen weeks, and the idea waspretty much to break everyone in the company. It forced us to27W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y. O R G F A L L 2 0 0 9

I have confidencein the training I’ve been given and don’thave any doubt that the rest of my squad and Iwill come back safely, as long as we do our job.Jon CrispinC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9Overall, how are the troops treated?The Marines I have come to live with are treateddifferently by different ranks. Senior Marinescontinue to educate and discipline those belowthem, as the junior guys are less experienced. Ifyou act like a man, you will be treated like a man.What’s the best and worst part about it?The best part about it is definitely the relationshipsyou make with your fellow Marines.The guys you see on a daily basis are the onesyou have to rely on; without them all this s—-would be impossible. The worst part about theMarines is the tedious things: uniform inspections,room inspections, mass punishment,things like that. But I guess that’s what makesit the Marines, right?How do you feel about the war in Iraq assomeone who is going to fight it?The war in Iraq has become much more personalthan political for me. I knew very well cominginto the military with an infantry MOS (MilitaryOccupational Specialty) that I would be deploying.My main concern is to bring the mento the left and right of me home. It’s funny howlittle you think about your own life when youthink about your best buddies getting shot orblown up.How does your family feel about your joiningthe military?My family, much to my surprise, has been verysupportive. They understood that I didn’t justjump into this decision. They care about me andwant me to come back safe.Are you scared?Ha-ha. I’m not allowed to be scared. No, butCliff Farrar’s battalion in Iraq28Are you given any training on what life inIraq is like for Iraqis? Do they teach you anyArabic?You hear from guys that have been over therewhat things are like on a day-to-day basis, as faras what is done and how it’s done. We aretaught very little Arabic though. Every squad hasa terp (interpreter).What do you think about the people who areagainst the war?People who are against the war are entitled totheir own opinions. It’s the ones that call meand my fellow Marines “baby killers” and“mindless tools” that I’d really like to get alonein an alleyway.Have you asked or has anyone told?No and no. As long as the man next to mewatches my a — and doesn’t get himself killed,it’s of no concern to me what he does in hispersonal life.Anything else you want to say or talk about?Yes, actually. First, Marines aren’t just stupidapes that wander around killing whatever theysee. It’s the 0.01 percent that murder theirgirlfriends and throw puppies off cliffs that giveus a bad name. True, our job requires a certainamount of training in environments of acceleratedviolence, but every action performedhas been reinforced by many hours of trainingand over 230 years’ worth of experience. TheMarine Corps was founded on November 10,1775. We’re older than the Army; we knowwhat we’re doing.Second, a soldier is in the Army. A Marine isin the Marines. Stop confusing the two. Marineshave a lot of pride in their history and leadership.The Army, well, let’s just say they could learn athing or two from the Marine Corps. Chuh.Reading over the interview, I’m left feelingunfulfilled. I would not say it seems like Cliffhas changed much. The responses still made melaugh. I could picture Cliff saying those wordsin his half-angry, half-joking manner. At thesame time, I was struck by the clear homogenizingeffect that the training had had on him. Iwas always impressed by Cliff’s sense of duty,but I realized I would be unable to survive inhis situation.I see what Cliff is doing, and I feel ashamedThe future Marine as a varsity soccer player at CAof myself. I realize I would be too scared to join,even if I didn’t oppose the war. As hard as I try, Ican’t think of anything that would motivate meto get over my fears. For some, poverty and lackof opportunity are motivations enough, as I discoveredwhen I attended the Campus AntiwarNetwork’s talk with Iraq Veterans Against theWar. When asked if the lack of an antiwar movementwas a direct result of the lack of a draft,one person responded, “There is a draft, only it’seconomical. For most, enlisting is the only wayto get ahead—that’s why I joined.” While this isnot Cliff’s situation, Cliff will be surroundedby men for whom this is a reality. This adds tomy shame. I escaped their fate through birth.My parents could afford private school; they canafford Cornell. Have my parents essentiallybought my way out of the draft? Were it not formoney, would I be in Iraq?In many ways, Cliff’s presence in the warmakes it almost banal for me. Cliff should be aMarine, so he became one. He did not join asPat Tillman did, as part of a political statement inthe wake of 9/11. He did not join because hebelieves in the war. Cliff joined out of a sense ofduty and the hope that the Marines will providehim with a new direction.. . . It seems more pressing than ever toremember that wars are fought by people. I knowone of those people. I am proud of Cliff fordoing what I could not do. I am left puzzled byhis willingness to join, to fight this war with noend and no purpose. But this was not my choice,it was his. As Cliff goes off to a land of sand andblood, I stay here in the shadow of the tower . . .humbled.

HallChapel and opened Concord Academy’s eightysixthCommencement with a rousing rendition oftheir chosen senior song, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Transparentponchos protected the girls’ white dresses from the raindrops,which played off the red roses they carried. The drizzle slickedthe boys’ hair and moistened their suits, but did not dampen themood among the graduates, who represented twenty-nineMassachusetts cities and towns, ten states, and four countries.The Class of 2009 listened to remarks by Head of SchoolJake Dresden, Board of Trustees President Ellen Condliffe Lagemann’63, and Student Body President Jung Hee Hyun ’09,before keynote speaker Eric Lander, a renowned geneticist andCA parent (Jessica ’06, Daniel ’09, David ’13) took the podium.Both Lagemann and Dresden acknowledged how difficult2009 had been after the death in February of student LizzyMun ’10. Dresden lauded the resilience of the senior class. “Inmy experience, when serious difficulties arise, there are usuallytwo paths ahead,” he said. “One is to have that trouble paralyzeus, making healing more difficult and often delayed. The otheris to acknowledge that we cannot change events, and ratherwork to understand them. In order to move forward like this,we need resilience.” The message echoed Lagemann’s: “Even ifyour senior year has been one filled with challenge, those of yougraduating today have persevered and triumphed,” she said.Senior Class President Roger Hurd ’09 introduced Lander,director of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, a leader inthe international Human Genome Project, a former MacArthurFellow and Rhodes Scholar, and cochair of the President’sCouncil of Advisors on Science and Technology. Lander openedhis remarks by praising CA’s faculty: “You have some of themost extraordinary teachers who exist anywhere in the academicworld,” he told the graduates.Describing himself as an accidental geneticist, Lander didn’tsimply tell the Class of 2009 that they could change the world;he used his own experience unraveling the human genome toillustrate that fifty years—not much longer than an averagecareer—can witness enormous change.

IAM DEEPLY honored that you haveasked me to deliver the Commencementaddress on this special day. It is traditionalto give some advice to the graduating seniors.So, while I am deeply honored, I am alsomore than a little daunted by this task.You see, as a scientist, I’ve had many occasionsto give distinguished talks. I’m not fazedby speaking to 8,000 biomedical researchersat their national cancer meeting, or by givinga Millennium lecture at the White House,or by leading a day-long session with the DalaiLama, or even by giving college commencementaddresses. And, as an MIT and Harvardprofessor, I’m perfectly comfortable holdingforth on molecular biology in front of 500university students.But, today, I am here not just as a publicscientist. I’m in a vastly more challenging role:I’m also a CA parent of a graduating senior, aCA parent who has gotten to meet much of thesenior class—in fact, has had at least half of yousleep over at our house.As I’m sure that many of the hundreds ofguests here today will corroborate, there is notrickier role than that of Parent Bearing Advice.So please, bear with me.To the graduating seniors: You areremarkable.We have seen you study over the past fouryears, mastering things beyond what weknow. German, Graphic Design, Playwriting,Advanced Calculus, the Literature of Paris,the Literature from Hell, the Modern MiddleEast, Music Theory, Chemistry of Cooking,Creative Nonfiction, Thoreau, Theatre Design,Trigonometry, Tie-Dye.We have seen your extraordinary creativegifts, producing works beyond what we ourselvescould ever imagine doing. There are somany examples. Justmost recently, I am stillin awe of the Theatre 3Company’s creationand production ofHowl, based on AllenGinsberg’s work andlife, with the guidanceof David Gammons. Iattended it with a distinguishedseventyyear-oldhistoryprofessor from Yale, afriend, who remarked that it was the most ambitious—andmost successful—student work hehad ever seen in his life. I agreed.And we have seen you deal with personalchallenges: both the ordinary challenges ofteenage years and, this past semester, withtragedy and emotional burdens beyond whatstudents of your age should have to bear. Youhave done so, with support, openness, a sense ofresponsibility, and a grace that is beyond youryears—and has at times even exceeded that ofus, your elders. I trust that the lessons that youhave learned—most of all, to behypervigilant inlooking out forthose in need ofhelp and support—Itrust thatthose lessons willstay with you allyour lives.In short, wehave seen yougrowing up intoyour own remarkable individuals. We are enormouslyproud. And we love you. But, as much asyou have already learned, as much as you havealready created, as much as you have grown,there are still some things that you do notknow—that you cannot possibly know—fromthe perch of seventeen or eighteen years.Chief among them is a sense of time—specifically,the span of a lifetime, the projects of a life.You are just now coming into your own as criticalobservers and critical thinkers about theworld. You are just beginning to grapple withweighty questions: What is my place in theworld? What mark will I leave on the world?What makes a satisfying life? You will be grapplingwith those questions for many years tocome. No one can really answer those questionsfor you, but I’d like to share a few observationsin my remarks today.With good health, your active careers willspan about fifty or sixty years. From the perspectiveof a high school senior, a span of fifty yearsmust seem almost an infinite duration. But,as you will come to know, it is somewhat lessthan infinite.What is a span of fifty years? What canhappen in the span of a lifetime?If you’ll allow me, I’d like to illustrate bydrawing on my own experience in my academicdiscipline: the study of genetics.In 1953, two young upstarts—an erstwhileornithologist named James Watson and a waywardphysicist named Francis Crick—publisheda one-page paper in a scientific journal, entitled:“A Structure for Deoxyribonucleic Acid”.As CA students know, Crick and Watson haddiscovered DNA’s elegant double helix, and theyrealized that it held, as they put it, “the secret of31W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y. O R G F A L L 2 0 0 9

C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9life.” The structure immediately suggested howthe genetic material is copied (with the twostrands of the double helix each serving as a templatefor the other) and how the genetic materialmust encode information (in the precisesequence of its letters, As, Ts, Cs, and Gs). Theyhad indeed glimpsed the secret of life. It was asublime discovery.But, what is even more inspiring to meis what happened over the next fifty years—through the work of an entire generation thatfollowed.Watson and Crick’s discovery was completelyabstract, totally impractical. In 1953, they had notthe slightest idea how DNA actually specifiedinstructions and no way to read even a single letterof the DNA code of any organism. As Watsonand Crick later freely admitted, the notionthat one would ever be able to read out the completegenetic information of an organism waspreposterous—more so the notion that it wouldhappen within their lifetimes.But their initial idea sparked a flame in theminds of the next generations.Within fifteen years, the scientific communityhad cracked the basic design of the geneticcode—the correspondence by which DNA specifiesproteins. One still couldn’t read any particularpart of the genetic text, but one knew inprinciple how it worked.Within another fifteen years, the scientificcommunity had developed ways to propagateindividual pieces of DNA and to read out bits ofDNA sequence in a slow and tedious process.One might read an average of a hundred DNAletters per day.By about 1985 (which is about the time that I32got involved), scientists began floating thenotion of a Human Genome Project, an organizedeffort to read out the entire three billionletters of the human genome—to put this informationin the hands of scientists everywhere. Atthe then-current rates of DNA sequencing, itwould take 500 years to accomplish this feat.Moreover, some worried that, even if we couldget the information, we’d not be able to makemuch sense of it. But, after much heated debate,the scientific community concluded that it mightjust be possible and that it was worth trying.Initial efforts were launched in 1990 (justaround the time you were born) and, little bylittle, they gained momentum.The Human Genome Project was notcentrally organized nor tightly controlled, andas a result it grew into a loose internationalconsortium involving some of the brightestyoung minds in science.• Within a few years, scientists had rudimentarymaps.• Within a few more years, the DNA sequenceof some very small genomes• Within a few more years, by mid-2000, arough draft sequence of the human genome• And, by April 2003, the scientific communitygathered to announce that we now had anessentially complete sequence of the humangenome.In fact, we chose the announcement dateapurpose—it was fifty years to the day afterWatson and Crick’s paper!So, what then is a span of fifty years? It isroughly the amount of time it takes for one newidea to completely change the world.That is roughly the time you are allotted—just enough time to change the world.Let me extract two additional lessons here:1. The Human Genome Project was a testamentto the power of collective action. It was doneby no single person, no single center, no singlecountry; it was the collective product ofseveral thousand people—including manyyoung scientists in their twenties and thirties.For all of us, it was exhilarating to be partof something so much bigger than ourselves,to be part of something that we would beproud to someday tell our children, to be partof something that might even—perhaps—someday change our own children’s lives.So that is one important lesson: There isno greater satisfaction in life than to be partof something greater than yourself.It is given to few individuals to author ontheir own an entire chapter in the book of history.But, if you are willing to join forces, it isremarkable what you can accomplish.2. And another, more personal point: When Igraduated from high school, I had no cluewhat I wanted to do with my life. (I suspectmany of you feel that way, as well.) When Igraduated from college, I still had no clue.The one thing I did know was that I certainlydidn’t want to have anything to do withbiology: I found biology deadly boring inhigh school and took none of it in college.After college, I pursued a PhD in puremathematics because I loved mathematics,but with no clear idea where it would lead.Late in graduate school, I cast about forwhat to do. Wanting to do somethingworldly, I managed to finagle a job teachingmanagerial economics on the faculty of theHarvard Business School.After a while, I realized that economicswas not my passion and I cast about further.It was only then that I became interested inbiology and started moonlighting for severalyears in laboratories by night, while stillteaching MBA students by day.One day, by complete chance, I met acolleague who began to pepper me withquestions about human genetics. I was captivated.Within a year, the biology communitybegan debating the idea of a Human GenomeProject, and I found myself drawn in. I’venever looked back.In retrospect, my background in mathematics,management, and biology seems a

illiantly conceived preparation for theHuman Genome Project. In prospect, ofcourse, it was an utterly random walk with noplanning whatsoever.What lessons do I draw from this?• Lives are not planned in advance, but ratherassembled from the pieces of your passions.• Put yourself in places where you will besurrounded by smart and wonderful people,for it is there that lucky accidents will bemost likely to happen. And, when they happen,don’t be afraid to follow them wherethey lead.So, my observations:• A lifetime is just enough time to change theworld.• The best way to do so—and the most satisfying—isto be part of something larger thanyourself.• Don’t expect to be able to plan out the projectsof your life. Most of them don’t evenexist yet. Leave yourself open: You will findthem and they will find you.Now, I picked an example from my own fieldto illustrate how much can happen in a span offifty years. But I could equally well have pickedother examples:It was roughly fifty years between the timethat the great American scientist and engineerVannevar Bush proposed in 1945 the then-ludicrousidea of devices that would put all humanknowledge at our fingertips and the time thatthe Internet, Web browsers, and, soon, Googlebegan to become ubiquitous.It was roughly fifty years between the timethat the Montgomery bus boycott, led byMartin Luther King, challenged the idea thatAfrican Americans belonged in the back of thebus and the time, roughly fifty years later andjust a few months ago, that a brilliant AfricanAmerican took the oath of office as the presidentof the United States.It has so far been only forty years since thetime that the Stonewall riots in GreenwichVillage pressed the notion that gay individualsshould be entitled to the same decency, the samerights, as straight individuals. We have alreadyseen enormous changes, including the abolitionof criminal laws and our own Commonwealth ofMassachusetts giving the lie to the notion thatequal marriage rights somehow pose a threat tosociety. But this is still a work in progress.You know, it’s not entirely an accident that it33W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y. O R G F A L L 2 0 0 9

C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 934takes roughly a lifetime to change the world.Changing the world often requires not justchanging minds, but replacing them with freshnew minds—without preconceived notions,whether about scientific possibility or humanpotential. In that respect, in your openness,you—the next generation—are our most preciousresource.What will be the projects of your generation?The ways you will, working together, changethe world? The causes larger than yourselves? Icannot wait to see.But I would be remiss if I left you with theimpression that all of the important projects of alifetime are played out on a large stage. Theprojects of a lifetime come in all sizes—and sizeand importance are often not correlated.To my mind, the single greatest project ofa lifetime is having children. It is the most powerfulway to change the world. This life projectobeys the same rules that I have been talkingabout. It takes an entire lifetime to fulfill thejob. Its sublime satisfaction is being part ofsomething greater than yourself. And it isutterly impossible to plan in advance how itwill all turn out.Tomorrow you are bound for college—and beyond that, for life. Today, you are stillour children.What we all wish for you—and here I knowI speak for all the parents—is that you willsomeday know the same joys that we havefound in our roles, the same joys and satisfactionsthat we feel on days like today.To the Concord Academy graduatingclass of 2009, we love you, we congratulateyou, and we wish you well on your journeysahead.

Who Are We?Last year we engaged in some research to betterunderstand Concord Academy’s alumnae/i as agroup, delving beyond gender and age breakdowns.Inspired and assisted by a study at Brown University,we layered demographic information from marketresearch studies on top of statistics. The insightfulresults have inspired conversations with alumnae/ivolunteers over the past months, andwe wanted to share them with you, as wemove forward with plans to betterengage alumnae/i with each other andwith our school.Basic statistics (as of August 2009)Concord Academy alumnae/i 5,182Females 3,827Males 1,355Concord Academy was founded in 1919 and incorporated in1922. Boys were admitted for the first few years, but from1929 until the fall of 1971 — a span of forty-two years — theschool admitted only girls.CA GenerationsMarket research professionals identify four distinctgenerations active today: the Greatest Generation(born between 1901 and 1924) combined with theSilent or Veteran Generation (born between 1925 and1942), which make up 54 percent of U.S. residents;Baby Boomers (1943 to 1960); Generation X (1961 to1981); and Millennials (1982 to 2000).Interestingly, when CA alumnae/i are grouped by eachhead of school, they nearly match up with these generationalgroups: the Silent and Veteran Generationsroughly correlate with CA alumnae/i who attendedduring the headships of J. Josephine Tucker and ElizabethB. Hall. Baby Boomers primarily went to schoolwith David Aloian, Russell Mead, and Philip McKean atthe helm (although a few overlapped with Mrs. Hall).Our graduates from the eighties and nineties, the TomWilcox years, are CA’s Gen Xers, and the Millennialsattended CA when Jake Dresden was head (and areresponsible for starting our CAYAC young alumnae/igroup and our school’s Facebook page).Why does this matter?ALUMNAE IASSOCIATIONUPDATEWhere are we now?Our largest concentrations of alumnae/i are in:New EnglandNew York/New JerseyCaliforniaWashington, DC10 percent of the 167 alumnae/i living in the Midwest aregraduates from the nineties living in Illinois. About 285 alumnae/i,or 6.5 percent, live abroad.When did we graduate from CA?1930–39 1.1 percent1940–49 3 percent1950–59 7 percent1960–69 13 percent1970–79 17 percent1980–89 21 percent1990–99 20 percent2000–08 18 percent59 percent of our alumnae/i have graduated since 1980.Baby Boomers and Gen Xers represent the largest percentageof our alumnae/i, approximately 70 percent.Drawing from these demographic studies, we canbroadly understand the personality of each generationof CA’s alumnae/i and its preferences for volunteercommitments and social activities. For instance, BabyBoomers and Gen Xers prefer distinct, shorter-termprojects; the Silent and Veteran Generations are interestedin longer-term responsibilities and regular opportunitiesto connect with CA’s leadership team; andthe Millennials like to engage in social, networking, orcommunity-focused activities as a group.Our information also helps us understand the makeupof each geographical cluster of alumnae/i and therebytailor programming to best fit the interests of thatgroup. As we move forward with these new tools inhand, we always keep in mind the abiding intereststhat our alumnae/i share with us over and over: to learnnew things and to engage with new ideas and witheach other.Maureen Mulligan ’80President, Alumnae/i AssociationP.S.

CA’s Class of 1974BY GAIL FRIEDMANPHOTOS BY TIM MORSEC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 9ore than 275 alumnae/i, mostly from graduationyears ending in 4 and 9, shared the spirit of intellectualinquiry that they remembered from theirCA days during Reunion Weekend, June 12–14.The weekend alternated between deep thought andsimple pleasures. At one panel discussion, debate raged aboutthe future of print journalism; at another, alumnae/i peppered apanel of economic experts with tough, topical questions. Meanwhile,toddlers waddled past the quad with reunion camp counselors,while their parents played tennis, swam in the campuspool, walked into Concord with classmates, or took advantageof the full weekend of programming.Many checked in Friday afternoon, took a campus tour,then attended a reception and dinner, with entertainment by36vocalist Julia Hanlon ’10, accompanied by music teachers RossAdams (on guitar) and Keith Daniel (on saxophone). Saturdayevents included a morning memorial service, to honor alumnae/iwho died during the past year and deceased reunion year alumnae/i;a nostalgic “hymn sing,” sponsored by the Class of 1964; atour of CA’s new Arena Farms property, about a mile from themain campus; and a free-spirited dance hour, led by Janet CorryFarnsworth ’84. English teacher Parkman Howe provided aglimpse of his legendary Bible course with “All Inside the Gatesof Eden,” a seminar on Genesis’ second creation story, whileKeith Daniel took fans of the Fab Four on “A Magical MysteryTour: The Beatles as Musical and Social Trendsetters.” For thosewho wanted to stretch their bodies as well as their minds, BethCleary ’79 led yoga on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

One timely panel discussion, led by alumnae/iexperts, broached the environment. At“Environmental Choices from the Local to theGlobal,” Louisa Bradford ’69, Jane ElizabethNilan Davis ’54, and Robin Alden ’69 sharedtheir distinct approaches to environmentalism,while science teacher John Pickle described environmentalefforts on campus. Nilan, who liveson an island north of Seattle, detailed her environmentaladvocacy work, particularly throughEarth Ministry and the Environmental PrioritiesCoalition. Alden described a career dedicated tothe fishing industry, including a stint as Maine’sCommissioner of Marine Resources. Currentlydirector of the Penobscot East Resource Center,Alden’s work focuses on community-basedstewardship, including leadership training, communityorganizing, community science, andadvocacy. Bradford is making a difference bybuilding energy-efficient houses. The architectand environmentalist described two projects indowntown Charlottesville, Virginia (within awalk to businesses), which she designed to be “asenergy-conscious as I could make them withoutgoing outside the box.” That meant no solar panelsor geothermal heat, but plenty of accessiblefeatures that pack an efficiency punch, such assuperb insulation, tight sealing, rainwater irrigation,and earth-friendly materials. The homes are34 percent more energy-efficient than requiredby the local housing code and were estimated tocost just $74 a month to heat and cool. “It’s carefulbuilding, conscious building,” she explained.“CA Alumnae/i Weigh In on the Marketsand the Economy” turned into a crash course onwhat’s gone wrong, led by Peter Fisher ’74, amanaging director and cohead of the FixedIncome Portfolio Management Group at Black-Rock; Jorge Solares-Parkhurst ’94, a managingdirector at FBR Capital Markets & Co., aninvestment bank; and Tracy Welch ’89, a directorin the equity division at Credit Suisse.Fisher started the discussion pointedly:“How could we possibly have gotten to such aterrible place in the world economy?” And heproceeded to answer, explaining a variety ofinfluences, including the dangers of irrationallycheap credit. “Capitalism is premised on the ideathat capital is a scarce commodity,” he said.“When money is free for a short period of time,not many people figure it out. When money isfree for a long period of time, it corrupts thesystem.” Conversation bounced from China toformer Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspanto Japan’s weak economic output. Solares-Parkhurst described a mentality prevalent withmortgage lenders across the country that ignoreda borrower’s ability to repay. These lenders originatedand sold mortgages to Wall Street firmssuch as Bear Stearns (where Solares-Parkhursthad worked before its fire sale to JP Morgan-Chase), who then repackaged and further soldthem to investors. “Risk management brokedown,” he said. “Mortgage products were packagedso ‘creatively’ that even the most astute ofinstitutions weren’t able to assess their true risk.”An engaged audience tossed numerous ques-Clockwise from top left: John Byrne ’99,Susannah Parke ’99, former faculty SarahIsmail, and Howie Martin ’99; Keith Daniel,Julia Hanlon ’10, and Ross Adams; ZackHughes ’04, Sarah Russell ’94 and her sonCharlie, Alex Russell ’04, and Nick Sullender’04; Catherine Gunn ’84 and Janet CorryFarnsworth ’84; Sue Brown Munson ’59,Helen Stuart Twiss ’59, Caroline CravenNielsen ’59, and Jennifer Johnson ’5937W W W .

Welchexplained that one reason banks are eager torepay the money is that it’s tied to restrictions oncompensation, which can turn loyal employeesinto free agents. “The smart people who canmake a lot of money—they’re going to go wherethey’re compensated,” she said, adding thatCredit Suisse was able to attract top performersfrom other banks because it did not take TARPdollars. When discussion turned to companies“too big to fail,” Welch suggested the concept bebetter expressed as “too interconnected to fail.”She decried the inconsistency of governmentsolutions. “Why was Bear shoved into a shotgunmarriage and Lehman allowed to fail?” she asked.The panel discussing “The Evolving Futureof Journalism” sparked some friendly friction, asspectators dug in on the value of preserving printmedia or of letting newspapers go. “They’re alldead,” one feisty audience member asserted. “It’slike talking about a mainframe computer.”The panel included Julia Preston ’69 of theNew York Times; novelist and former journalistIsabel Fonseca ’79; ESPN producer Amy Rosenfeld’84; Nancy Schoeffler ’69, a HartfordCourant editor; and freelance journalist NancyShohet West ’84. Lea Morse Sloan ’69, PBS vicepresident of communications, moderated. Sloanbegan by asking the audience how many subscribeto print newspapers, and nearly all handsin the (clearly aberrant) group shot up. She citeda study demonstrating a decline in civic involvementafter a newspaper folded, and pointed outthat newspapers were not originally establishedas businesses, but as ways to gain social and civicinfluence.As panelists discussed the demise of oncethrivingpapers, Preston, a Pulitzer Prize–winnerwho has been in daily news for thirty-one years,cut to the chase. “The issue is not whether newspaperswill disappear,” she said, “but whether thereporting will disappear.” The Times Web site stillrelies for content primarily on reporters paid bythe newspaper, she said. While the Times hasavoided the layoffs suffered by most papers thisyear, Schoeffler described draconian cuts at theCourant, where she now edits content formerlyhandled by two or more editors.No one disputed that the industry is in transition,and a working business model elusive.“Fundamental decisions have yet to be madeC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 938

Above right: Nancy Read Coville’49, accepting the Joan Shaw Herman Awardfor Distinguished Service from Katy ReaSchmitt ’62.Concord Academy presented its onlyaward, the Joan Shaw HermanAward for Distinguished Service,to Nancy Read Coville ’49 during ReunionWeekend, in recognition of the decadesCoville has devoted to providing qualityearly education and child care to the childrenof Tamworth, New Hampshire.Coincidentally, Coville roomed withJoan Shaw Herman at CA, and called her“a wonderful roommate.” Apparently, thefeeling was mutual. When Katy ReaSchmitt ’62 introduced this year’s awardwinner, she mentioned something thatCynthia Heath Sunderland ’51 had told her:“Joan Shaw Herman once said, ‘I wouldlove to have a sister like Nancy.’”Coville began helping Tamworth kids inthe 1960s, when she started a summerenrichment program, which remains activetoday through the town’s recreation department.A few years later, she began theBearcamp Valley School and ChildcareCenter, which continues to run innovativeand affordable programs for children, manyof whom would be without preschool if notfor Coville. “Fifty-five percent of the childrenare eligible for free or reduced meals,”Coville said. “I’m continually amazed bythe resilience of the children, but some ofthem need to be scooped up to get, or toregain, a positive self-image.”Bearcamp is the only licensed child carecenter in Tamworth. Schmitt called Coville“its administrator, its fundraiser, and itsheart and soul.” The center receives townfunding but needs to raise an additional$80,000 privately each year.Coville took an untraditional route intoeducation; she completed her degree atthe University of New Hampshire twentysevenyears after leaving Radcliffe. Arecognized early-childhood expert andadvocate, she criticized overly academicpreschools and kindergarten programs thatwon’t let children explore until their “work”is done. “Discovery and thinking shouldbe their work,” she said. She summedup her philosophy by quoting one of hercenter’s mottos: “Every moment is alearning moment. Not every moment is ateaching moment.”Coville addressed classmates, friends,and her large, extended family in the ElizabethB. Hall Chapel. She closed with anEleanor Roosevelt quote that begins,“Where, after all, do universal human rightsbegin? In small places, close to home, soclose and so small that they cannot be seenon any map of the world . . .”Coville has made a difference closeto home. Through her efforts, human rightshave begun in the hearts of the smallchildren she nurtures.39W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y. O R G F A L L 2 0 0 9

about how and when to begin to charge forcontent online,” Preston said.Audience member Ben Harder ’94, a healtheditor at U.S. News and World Report, wonderedaloud whether lower Web advertising rates meanadvertisers have realized they were paying toomuch for print. “Is this about advertisers wakingup to the fact that they have overpaid for years?”he asked. Harder acknowledged that journalisticvalue alone doesn’t pay, literally: pharmaceuticaladvertisers flock to a Web page with a storyabout heart disease, but not to a story about rarediseases. That’sdriving publishersto cut certainareas of news, he said.The notion rankled Preston, who praised theNew York Times for maintaining a wall betweeneditorial and advertising. “You can’t have asearch optimization machine determine whathealth news is in a newspaper,” she said. “Youcan’t, ethically.”She went on to lament the possibility thatthe Times could be a rare survivor in the currentmedia meltdown. “The whole newspaper businessis based on competition,” she said. “Whatmade us great is fear of being clobbered by thecompetition.” That competition, in many cases,has a reduced reporting staff and fewer editors toensure accuracy, or has closed shop entirely.But the move toward online news didn’tconcern everyone. “Why isn’t news in a multimediaformat as valid as print, or more valid?”one alumna asked. “There are no rules on themedium anymore. It’s really the message.”Rosenfeld pointed to an up side of Webnews—easy access. She said she read classmateNancy Shohet West’s article in the CarlisleMosquito while she was in Guatemala. No matterthe media fallout, as a TV sports producer,Rosenfeld realizes she is protected. “Regardlessof what happens, people will still care about theRed Sox,” she said.See more Reunion Weekend photos atconcordalum.org.Clockwise from top right: Cyndie Phelps ’64,Susan Packard Orr ’64, and Casey MorganPeltier ’64; canoers on the Sudbury River; theClass of 1964’s hymn sing; Barbara GiffordShimer ’74 and Marjorie Aelion ’74; ElenaMead ’04, history teacher Sally Zimmerli, andChristina Onorato ’04; Reunion Weekendchildren’s campC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 940

The cast of TeaA Meaningful Cup“They’re between twoworlds.”“How many Kansas rednecksare out there who canlook at a Japanese as somethingmore than a geisha or aTokyo Rose?”As those words fromVelina Hasu Houston’s Teawere spoken in the P.A.C. lastApril —words I found so trueto my own Asian-girl-living-in-America feelings—I feared Imight never again make somethingelse that is, to the core,who I am.Theater and activism arevital parts of my life, but theynever really got along witheach other before I directedTea. I would participate in seriousdiscussions about diversity,discrimination, and discordin society —then I would goto theatre class or rehearsal,reading experimental theoriesand memorizing lines. Theyseemed like oil and water, twocompletely different facets—different people, different conversations,different attitudes.Ever since I saw TheAmerica Play at CA my freshmanyear, I had been thinkingabout an Asian Student Association(ASA) play. This fall,while trying to answer someinternal questions about myartistic and personal self, fortuneled me to read Tea, andgenerous support from ASA,the theatre program, and thecommunity helped me bring itto the stage.The feedback I receivedwas not only about the play’sartistic merit, but also aboutthe social issues it tackles—racism, sexism, the warbride’s experience in post-WWII America, and generationaldifferences. I wasparticularly glad the communityhad paid attention to agroup of characters—allactresses —that is underrepresentedin theatre.

Anassociate professor of musicat Notre Dame, Blacklow wasrecognized as a “Rising Star”by Carnegie Hall and theEuropean Concert Hall Organizationin 2003. He playedon National Public Radio’sPerformance Today last year,and has worked on severalrecordings, including the soloCD he released in 2008, Prism.He spoke via email withConcord Academy magazine.46How old were you when you started to playpiano? Were your affinity and talent immediatelyobvious?According to my parents, when I was betweenone and two I began to figure out how to playmelodies that I recognized. I would hear mymother practicing regularly, and I started lessonsin first or second grade. I did advance quickly, butinitially I didn’t place particular importance onplaying—it was just a part of the daily routinethat I sometimes enjoyed. One turning pointoccurred when I was eleven, during a familyvacation in Europe, when I was surprised to realizethat I actively missed being able to practice.Have you always leaned toward classical?What other genres interest you?All my training and most of my work is in classical,but within this path I’ve frequently crossedChristian Steinerinto other genres. Particularly in my work withthe Los Angeles Philharmonic: the orchestraoften programs film music and jazz or Broadwaypieces, especially in the summer season. As an“appreciator,” I am drawn to most any genre ifthe performance is good. I recently came acrossa group of seven brothers from Chicago, calledHypnotic Brass, performing on the street inNew York City for a huge crowd of passersby. Iwouldn’t even know what to call their genre,but regardless, their sense of ensemble, rhythm,and their particular way of listening to each otherwere terrific.Do you play other instruments? What aboutthe piano inspires you?Very occasionally, I have played other keyboardinstruments with the orchestra, such as celesta,electric keyboards, or harpsichord. The piano isso versatile in producing melody, harmony, counterpoint,dynamics, and rhythm. Through the pedalsespecially, one has the capacity to create somany layers of sound and texture. Many peoplehave said that this single instrument contains awhole orchestra. As a solo instrument, it hasinspired so many composers; as an example,Chopin’s entire output, almost, is for piano alone.I guess I have picked up inspiration through allthis great music. However, it is hard to knowwhether it is the music that inspires me andtherefore the instrument on which to play it, orwhether it is a more abstract interest in the physicalnature of playing the instrument, which findsexpression through so many divergent styles.This might be a chicken-or-egg debate.When did you realize you were really good?In my junior year at Concord Academy, Vicki andBob Sirota (both on the music faculty then) wereinvited to teach for the summer at Tanglewood,and they encouraged me to audition for the smalland competitive piano program. After beingaccepted, I connected with other equally seriousyoung musicians from around the world, and thatopened my eyes. We had master classes withsome of the most renowned pianists, and of

GammonsAna Luderowski ’09 wrote and directed It’s Clementine Season,My Peach for her Directors Seminar.>>course could attend all the Boston Symphonyconcerts, as well as rehearsals.What has been your most memorable performance?Why?So many performances are memorable (and notnecessarily in a positive way!). I’ve been fortunateto have performed in some of the majorconcert halls across Europe. Aside from the stunningacoustics, what struck me was how quietlyattentive the audiences were, in venues such asAmsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Konzerthaus,or London’s Wigmore Hall. The listenerswere engaged in a way that I do not sense asoften in this country, which is probably a result ofthe lack of musical exposure in most of our publicschools. New York audiences are sometimes terrible—infact, on stage during a concert at MerkinHall, I literally heard two elderly women conversingin the front row: “See? I told you he wasgonna be good!” “You didn’t say he was gonnabe good, you said he’d be handsome.” That wascertainly memorable.A reviewer said you have a “highly pianisticsense of fantasy.” What does that mean?I would guess that means that, in his opinion, theperformance had a kind of physical spontaneity.Reviews and critiques are often so subjective;my final performance exam at Juilliard kind ofsums this up. Regarding my playing of a Schumannsonata, one faculty juror wrote, “The overallconcept is good, but the details need moreattention.” And another juror made exactly theopposite comment: “The details are nice, but youseem to be missing the forest for the trees.” Icould only laugh—in the end, one’s own intuitionis vital about musical choices, and also aboutwhose advice to follow.How do you blend or reconcile the worlds ofprofessor and performer?These two worlds truly enhance each other. I seeteaching as an interchange at the core, asopposed to an exclusively top-down flow of ideas.After all, a student’s question “why?” or “whatif?” is how understanding deepens and expands.Of course, my years of performing provide anaccumulating base of experience that I share inthe studio, but I am also still learning and changingas a performer—often from the interactionswith my own students.Of the musicians with whom you’ve collaborated,who made the biggest impression?Tatiana Yampolsky, who was my piano teacherstarting while I was at Harvard, has had one ofthe strongest influences. She develops a student’ssense of how to practice, which is not asself-evident as it may seem; it requires a keensensitivity to the physics and even biology of playing,connecting the body to the music. She is oneof the rare and dedicated artist/teachers who willdeclare, “If we have to, we will sit here all dayuntil you find that phrasing”—and this means aphrase with your own sound and voice. Morerecently, I have had a fascinating collaborationwith Barbara White, who teaches composition atPrinceton. Often, performers are taught to simplycarry out the written instructions of the composer,like following Mapquest. But when sheand I have prepared her compositions for recordingsor concerts, the lines of creativity are blurred—music on a printed page may not yet “exist”until it is heard in the form of sound. Of course,we as interpreters honor what is in the score, butthe harder job is to internalize what is “behind thenotes” to the point that it is our own voice speaking—likean actor immersed in a character.What recent performances or works shouldwe know about?This past year, I performed on NPR’s PerformanceToday and on a concert series in Paris in theLouvre auditorium; also in Cincinnati, Detroit, LosAngeles, Milwaukee, and Chicago, as well as atvarious festivals, including at the HollywoodBowl. This fall, I will be performing several concertswith the violinist Hahn-Bin—at the KennedyCenter, at Carnegie Hall’s new Zankel Hall, and atBoston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. I amalso in the middle of several recording projects:two CDs of solo and chamber works by contemporarycomposers and a recording of Soviet-erasonatas for cello and piano.Did any CA teachers or classes put you on theroad to being a professional musician?I think that, in the largest sense, CA’s deep underlyingphilosophy of “learning for its own sake”created a healthy environment in which I coulddevelop artistically and as a person. I rememberbeing very impressed at my interview (conductedby Ron Richardson), when I learned that CA hadno class rank and awarded no academic prizes.This mindset was a huge contrast with my laterexperience at the Juilliard School, where fellowstudents often seemed to be motivated mainlyby material or financial success. Something Ivalue in particular is the fact that so many CAteachers, in virtually every department, wouldattend performances at school and would expresstheir genuine interest. Music faculty such asSandra Rosenblum, Vicki and Bob Sirota, andMaynard Goldman were very generous with theirtime and energy—and in their own artisticcareers were unusually distinguished for highschool. Mr. Goldman would sometimes performwith the student chamber groups, then we’d seehim performing at Symphony Hall.How was it being so dedicated to your craftand talented in high school?It seemed that so many students at CA “didtheir thing,” very often quite passionately, andwith a striking independence of spirit for agesfourteen to eighteen. There did not seem to bean emphasis on being a “star,” so while my pianoplaying was appreciated by peers, I didn’t feelput on a pedestal. I remember so many fellowstudents immersed in music, but also writers,actors, painters. Some of my non-musicianfriends have had the most perceptive things tosay about my music, maybe more so than amusic colleague who might be more likely to ask,“Did you lift up the pedal on the third beat ofmeasure 62?” I guess both are crucial —theforest and the trees.47W W W .

An accomplishedrunner who’s logged more than 60,000 miles,the head coach of CA’s boys cross-countryteam and the new club track and field teambelieves that coaching is about inspiringpeople to care about something. When peoplecare about running, “they’ll sleep more,they’ll eat well, they’ll attend every practiceand race,” he said. “Caring about somethingallows you to make good choices. It makesyou a better person.”Waldron first fell in love with runningwhen he was in fourth grade and ran aroundhis house—literally. “I had measured the distancewith a yardstick and it was about onehundred yards, so I figured eighteen timesaround would be a little over a mile,” he said.“I became fascinated with the idea of usingmy legs to get places instead of using a car,bus, or bike.” By the time he was in seventhgrade, Waldron was running every morningbefore school and competing in the mile—thelongest event for his age. Despite narrowlymissing his goal to run a mile in less thanfive minutes in eighth grade, Waldron’s affectionfor and commitment to the sport wereestablished.In high school, he competed on the varsitycross-country and track teams, but was oftenat odds with his coaches. “I viewed runningas exploration, both physical and intellectual,and I hated doing things simply because thecoach told me to,” he said. “I didn’t acceptthat you needed to turn your brain off whenyou became an athlete.” Between his sophomoreand junior years, he ran five hundredmiles and improved enough to place ninth inthe state. During the spring of his senior year,he ran a 4:27 mile, a school record that stoodfor thirteen years.But shortly after high school, he stoppedrunning. Waldron moved to Cambridge,Massachusetts, where he “read, wrote, andworked.” Two years after high school, heenrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon,and majored in music and English. Instead ofrunning, his new love was learning. Immersedin his classes, Waldron was barely aware thatthe city of Eugene, one hundred miles away,had become a running mecca, the birthplaceof Nike and home of the University of Oregon,where legendary runner Steve Prefontainehad won seven NCAA titles in cross-countryand track during the early seventies.It wasn’t until after college, when Waldronmoved back to Cambridge with his soon-to-bewife Ann, that he thought of running again.“We were watching a road race one day,” hesaid, “and Ann asked me what place I thoughtI’d finish in if I were in the race. I said, ‘Probablytenth.’” Shortly after, he signed up fora seven-mile race and placed . . . tenth. “I feltgood,” said Waldron, who continued to runduring lunch breaks and in occasional 10Ks.“I was reminded how enjoyable running is,how much it straightens out my head andhelps me focus.”Waldron, a project manager at NuanceCommunications, didn’t coach until his ownchildren were running at Newton North HighSchool, where he was hired to work withdistance runners. He was named head coachof the cross-country team at CA in 2007. Thatyear, the boys team won the Eastern IndependentLeague Championship. In 2008, theteam repeated as EIL champions and Waldronwas named EIL Coach of the Year.To Waldron, CA represents a uniqueconfluence of shared values and students whoare inspired to care—about many things,including running. “I’ve always had a goodfeeling about CA,” he said. “Sometimes itfeels like CA and I were separated at birth.”— Tara Bradley

Thank you for being there.HE FOLLOWING PAGES tell a great story.Having seen our three children thrive at Concord Academy—each of themdifferent, each of them appreciated as an individual—my wife Carol andI know that CA is an unusual school, a place that truly inspires learning andhelps kids grow into their best selves. It is clear from this Report of Givingthat many others feel the same appreciation and gratitude that we feel, andthe same desire to give back.When we tell the CA story, we always talk proudly about the inspiring teachers,the caring advisors and house parents, the strong leaders, and the wonderfulmix of smart, interesting students. We mention the close partnershipsbetween faculty and students and the friendships that last a lifetime.But each year the Report of Giving tells another part of the CA story: the partthat makes the rest come alive. It’s a story that stretches across generations,from CA’s oldest alumnae to its most recent graduates, and it includes a hugesupporting cast of parents, grandparents, and friends. When Rick Hardyarrived this past summer as CA’s tenth head of school, it was wonderful to tellhim that story of ongoing support and welcome him to a community thatcares so much about what Concord Academy does for kids every day.Welcoming CA’sNew Board PresidentC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E / R E P O R T O F G I V I N G5 2Thank you for knowing how much CA matters, and for giving so generouslyof your time and resources during the past year.Sincerely,John J.

Miller, our French teacher at CA,gave me a great foundation.” Her languagestudies, at CA and later at Benningtonand at Middlebury, where sheearned an MA in French, prepared herfor a life that included a brief stint as ateacher at the Chicago Lab School andeight years at the Paris office of theMorgan Guaranty Trust Co.“To me, education is paramount,”Mary said. “And I think secondaryschool may be even more importantthan college. I look at our current president,for instance. The fact that BarackObama had access to a wonderful highschool and university education is havingan effect on the whole world. Iwould like some of what I leave behindto make it possible for others to get thatsort of strong start.”Since her retirement, Mary haslived in the Berkshire village of Alford,Massachusetts and in Key West,Florida. A dedicated gardener, sheheads the Alford Land Trust, whichworks to preserve open land in perpetuity.She is one of six family members tograduate from CA: her sister Marten ’58led the way, and Marten’s children,Annie Lareau ’86 and Donald H. LareauIII ’92, are graduates, as are Mary’scousins, Conant Brewer ’74 and AnitaBrewer-Siljeholm ’71. When Martendied in 1997, the family established theMarten Ann Poole Arts and SciencesScholarship Fund at CA, to which Maryhas continued to contribute. In addition,she is diligent about giving to theAnnual Fund.This past November, after muchresearch and thought, Mary establisheda generous unrestricted bequest thatwill benefit Concord Academy afterher death. This new gift makes her amember of the Chameleon Circle,which recognizes those who have madeplanned gifts to the school. Because thegift is unrestricted, it gives the schoolleeway to use these funds in whateverways are most helpful.“I’ve been impressed with howmuch our earlier contributions to theschool have increased in value as aresult of CA’s investment decisions,”Mary said, “and I have appreciated theannual letter which explains how theincome has been used to benefit aparticular student each year. I’m veryhappy with how well those funds areserving their purpose.” With that, Marywent out to join her classmates atreunion, and to enjoy a return to theschool whose future she has so generouslyhelped underwrite.— Mary Poole ’595 9W W W .

CA taught me tobe curious about things and to always want to learnsomething — anything — traits I have tried to passon to my children.I think that it is important to give back wheneverpossible. I would like to do my part to be sureCA continues to have the same positive impacton young adults that it had on me. One should getin the habit of donating right after graduation —even if it’s only five dollars to start.

Through the encouragementof faculty, engagement with my classes, and theunique environment of CA, I was able to graduatewith more self-confidence and a stronger understandingof my potential. I was able to attend CAfor only two years, and I wish it had been longer, forI know that would have given me an even strongerfoundation in my life.I give to Concord Academy as an annual expressionof gratitude for the experience I had and in thehope that my contribution can help make it possiblefor someone else to attend.

My brother Stephen and Iboth attended, and my mother taught math at CAfor many years. For me, the excellent education —with college-level courses and an energetic anddedicated faculty — was a launching pad for collegeand then graduate school. CA fostered independent,creative, and nonconformist thought,which I continue to value. The small size of theschool and the support it gave to new teams, likecross-country skiing and bicycling, made extracurricularactivities accessible to all who were interested,and that had a big impact on many of us.The friendships I made at CA last to this day, atribute to the strength of the close community.Giving to the Annual Fund is a great way to showmy family’s support for CA and the educationalvalues it fosters.Andrea Silverman Meyer ❂John Newcomer ❖Evgenia PeretzHilary PriceNicholas RathboneSarah Russell ❂Jonathan Shapiro ❖Sarah Shohet ❖Matthew Taibbi ❖AnonymousCLASS OF 1988Participation: 32%Annual Fund: $30,395Class Agents:Benjamin MaxfieldAmy WilenskyAugustina Admadjaja ❖David Alperovitz— Ed Nicolson ’83Joseph Baker ❂ ❖Bruce Beal ❂Claudia BernheimJesse Birge ❂Mary Sinton BrightDaniel BrotmanMichael Bruck ❖Keith GelbDavid Goldberg ❂Brian Green ❂Jared Green ❖Katia Brown Green ❂Katharine Hammond ❂Deborah Bailey Herrmann ❂Jeffrey KellemMichael Kolman ❂Benjamin Maxfield ❖Geoffrey Maynard ❖Caragh McLaughlin ❂ ❖Elena Higgerson Nielson ❖6 3W W W .

A N N U A LF U N DDirector of College Counseling Peter Jennings with hiswife Sarah and their children“How Lucky I Am”An interesting and fulfilling job is a gift. Onethat is backed by such a strong mission forextraordinarily motivated students is a blessing.Rarely does a week go by without someoneoutside the CA community reminding me howlucky I am to be part of this school. Making asmall but consistent contribution to ConcordAcademy is a no-brainer, and my wife Sarah andI typically choose to support financial aid. Wewere both beneficiaries of financial aid in ourown educational journeys, and every day at ConcordAcademy, our lives and the lives of our threechildren are enriched by the mix of students andbackgrounds on this campus.My understanding of philanthropy is thatdonors contribute when they know their moneywill be spent wisely. All I have to do to know ourAnnual Fund gift is being spent wisely is go tolunch. Seriously. Lunchtime represents all that isgreat about Concord Academy. With one glance,it is easy to observe students with their advisors,varied groups of students sharing meaningfulconversation, or simply the sense of fun andenjoyment people bring to campus each day. Itis the most dynamic large gathering of the day,and the quickest way to see the uniqueness ofConcord Academy.I’m sure my family is like many others in thelarger CA community in that we aren’t in a positionto fund a building project or dramaticallyenhance a department or program. But we cando our part to keep the foundation of the schoolstrong by supporting the Annual Fund. In an institutionwhose strength is its people, each of uscan make a difference.— Peter JenningsDirector of College Counseling, House Affiliate,Assistant Boys Cross-Country Coach,Freshman English Teacher, Advisor to theInternational Student OrganizationChristopher Walker ❂ ❖Kanisorn Wongsrichanalai ❖Karen YooAnonymous (5)CLASS OF 2000Participation: 17%Annual Fund: $1,155Class Agents:Rachel Sebell GravelineMichael Littenberg-BrownLiana LoConteJeffrey Fabre ❖Lucas Garmon ❖Rachel Sebell Graveline ❖Sarah Green ❖Adam Haas ❖Samuel Hubbard ❖Erin Hult ❖Benjamin KrugJonathan Kruger ❖Michael Littenberg-Brown ❖Liana LoConteAnonymous (3)CLASS OF 2001Participation: 26%Annual Fund: $2,200Class Agent:Michael FirestoneEric BergerAlexander Berlin ❂ ❖Abigail Cohen ❂Nicholas Deane ❂ ❖Elizabeth Down ❖Hilary FalbMichael Firestone ❂ ❖Lauren Kett ❖Sophia Lai ❖Stephen Lloyd ❖Duncan Mak ❖Anne Mancini ❂Laura McConaghy ❂ ❖Catherine Mygatt ❖Christopher NorcrossCarey Tinkelenberg ❂Emily WhistonAnonymous (4)CLASS OF 2002Participation: 14%Annual Fund: $1,970Class Agents:Sarah BertozziAlexander NicholsMatthew BassettSarah Bertozzi ❂Danielle D’Onfro ❖Carlyn Fitzgerald ❂ ❖Jason Hult ❖Peter Xiaoran Li ❖Laura Lively ❖Alexander Nichols ❖Matthew RicciRosalin WalcottSusanna Whitaker-Rahilly ❖Sarah Wilkens ❂ ❖CLASS OF 2003Participation: 11%Annual Fund: $900Cameron Crary ❖Alexis DeaneWhitney LeonardDavid Miller ❖Charles SmithMark Weinberger ❖Lisa Zaval ❂AnonymousCLASS OF 2004 5th REUNIONParticipation: 17%Annual Fund: $910Reunion Committee:Minh DinhJames HallJonathan KleimanDanny Azon ❖Megan BrownCharles Carey ❖Janet Comenos ❂Minh Dinh ❖Colin Green ❖James Hall ❖Megan HarlowJennifer ImrichDaria Lavrennikov ❂ ❖Melanie LontohAlexander Mora ❖Sarah SeegalSamantha Siegal ❂ ❖Lily Susskind ❖Lily Varon ❖CLASS OF 2005Participation: 15%Annual Fund: $1,275Steven Bertozzi ❂ ❖Brigid Davis ❖Matthew Deitch ❖Luke Douglas ❂Bryan Hobgood ❂ ❖Emily Hoppe ❖Christine Kue ❖Claire MoriartyElise NovakElizabeth OlesenErica Reisman ❖Mary Soule RicciShara Zaval ❂CLASS OF 2006Participation: 11%Annual Fund: $460John Arsenault ❂ ❖Cornelia Hall ❂Marie Huntley ❖Benjamin Kaufman ❂ ❖Dat Le ❂Eva Luderowski ❂ ❖Benjamin Mirin ❂ ❖Leah Munsey-Konops ❖Andrew Wolf ❂Lauren Yeiser ❖CLASS OF 2007Participation: 19%Annual Fund: $320Class Agents:Catarina MarquesMalika MehtaRufus UrionAdrienne Cahill ❖Dora Hui ❂ ❖Anne Lobel ❖Catarina Marques ❂ ❖John Moriarty ❖Jeffrey Olshan ❂Kristian Shaw ❖Charles Stolper ❖Lucas Turner-OwensRufus Urion ❂ ❖CLASS OF 2008Participation: 13%Annual Fund: $1,311Class Agents:Nathan CoppersmithKelly FlanaganDaniel FlickerDaly FrancoMorgan JaffeEmily ShoovThomas SmithNathan Coppersmith ❂ ❖Joseph Daly ❂ ❖Krongkamol de Leon ❂ ❖Kim Dinh ❂ ❖Daly Franco ❂ ❖Nola Glatzel ❂ ❖Sophie Goodman ❂ ❖Anna Hager ❂ ❖Morgan Jaffe ❂ ❖Kaitlin Lynch ❂ ❖Benjamin Miller ❂ ❖Thomas Smith ❂ ❖Anonymous6 5W W W .

She has developed a genuine enjoymentand appreciation for these subjects, whichwasn’t there before coming to CA.Great teachers have made this happen.When I served as a trustee of Rachel’s Montessorischool, I learned the importance of a strongAnnual Fund, not only as a means to supportprograms, but also as a show of appreciation byparents and alumnae/i. By making gifts to theAnnual Fund, I’m making a statement of supportfor CA. I do this because I believe CA livesup to its mission statement by providing anenvironment where students feel safe expressingtheir opinions and unique qualities. Whatwe value most are the teachers. They createjust the right relationship with these youngadults and know how to bring out the very bestin each one.In gratitude, I decided not only to be a contributorto the Annual Fund, but also to take amore active role as an Annual Fund chair. WhenI make calls on behalf of the Annual Fund, I’mjust as pleased to receive a pledge from a newdonor as I am to receive an increased pledgefrom an existing donor. For me, participationmatters most. I’ve spoken with parents whofeel that gifts to the Annual Fund have to besubstantial financial donations, but that isn’t thecase. Every single donation, regardless of theamount, is a message of support for CA. Andevery single donation helps.— William and Fiona Carr P’106 7W W W . C O N C O R D A C A D E M Y.

A N N U A LF U N DC O N C O R D A C A D E M Y M A G A Z I N E / R E P O R T O F G I V I N GWalter and Susan Birge P’88Transformative ExperiencesOur son Jesse ’88 describes Concord Academyas a place where “people can be whothey are” and where students thrive and excelin their passions. Jesse formed lasting friendshipsat the school, a pivotally important experiencefor him, since he had transferred from ahighly respected school where cliques andlabels were the norm. CA faculty members takea genuine interest in each student and inspirestudents to reach beyond their perceived limitsintellectually, artistically, and athletically. Theseyoung men and women have transformativeexperiences in CA classrooms and studios, andon the CA fields.We give to the Annual Fund to celebrateJesse’s wonderful experience at CA. But thereis a second reason — as headmaster of theFenn School, I watched so many of our graduatesgrow and flourish in myriad ways atConcord Academy. The Annual Fund supportsthe total Concord Academy program and is thekey to the ongoing health of the school. Greatteachers, small classes, and unique educationalopportunities are expensive. They need to besupported through the Annual Fund, and weare delighted to participate every year.6 8— Walter and Susan Birge P’88Gifts from Parents ofAlumnae/iLucas Aalmans and Abigail Erdmann ❂Harold and Lynn AbelsonBill and Susan Adams ❂ ❖Helen E.

KidderMary Wadleigh ’64TechnologyBlakeley R. Waite Revocable Living TrustBlakeley Robinson Waite ’49 §Altering Circumstances“We have an interest in a particular sort ofbright but unchallenged student,” saidthe woman.Her husband, a retired Wall Street executive,explained further: “Independent schools tendto cater to superstars from upper- and lowerincomegroups. The late-blooming middle-incomekid — like our niece — often doesn’t have a shot atthis kind of education. We’re interested in seeingwhat four years at CA can do for students whofit that profile.”The two were talking with Director of FinancialAid John McGarry and Associate Head forCommunications, Enrollment, and PlanningPam Safford, who had interviewed and admittedtheir niece the previous year.“Do you get applicants like that?” he asked.“We do,” Safford affirmed, “and they tendnot to get the funding they’d need to attend CAor a place like it.”“We have a plan,” the donors, whorequested anonymity, announced. And one briefmeeting later, they had committed to fund a totalof eight students for a full four-year CA education—twothe first year, and an additional twoeach year thereafter, until eight are enrolled. “Wedon’t expect all these kids to have amazingcareers at CA” the man said. “But on the basis ofwatching our niece’s experience here, we believean education like this can change everything forsome of them.”Later that year, an email crossed Safford’sdesk. “I’m thinking about families whose financialcircumstances may have changed due to the economic collapse. Are you hearing from familieslike that?” It was the same woman. “Middleincome families who were not on aid before, butwho now might have to withdraw their child fromschool because of job loss or other reversals?”In fact, Concord Academy was getting callslike that. “In the previous month or so, we’vehad conversations with about ten families requestingadditional aid, or aid for the first time, so theirchildren could return to CA the following year,”McGarry told the couple at a meeting at theirhome. “The total dollar amount needed is about$150,000.”“We can cover that,” the woman said withouthesitation. “We’d like to cover that. We don’twant any student to have to leave Concord Academybecause of an unexpected financial reversal.”This donor and her husband, communityphilanthropists who by now had included CA ontheir list of special interests, had just experienceda significant drop in the value of their own charitablefoundation. Nevertheless, they were determinedto move forward with a creativeassortment of contributions to CA — not only theaid to families who found themselves in need, butalso the aid to the sometimes overlooked subsetof middle-class students.Safford described this philanthropic duo as“amazing. Our meetings with them tend to bevery fast. They know what questions they needanswered, and often they make their decisions inthe course of a phone call or a brief emailexchange. Their niece has now graduated, buttheir interest and commitment continue.”McGarry thinks they have a mission: “Theybelieve CA can be a transformative experience forthe kinds of kids who increasingly find themselvesshut out of an independent school education.They want to help us make the difference forthose young people.”7 7W W W .
