dorm duty. Mr. Wardrop even ditched his
own form’s reunion activities to visit ours.
The Carlisles and the Matthewses were
also there. Laura Keeton McVey’s out-
standing work on our record-breaking
form gift to the Alumni Fund was recog-
nized. We had lots of time to hang around,
eat, and reconnect. Our favorite bus driver
brought us back to the hotel, where we
gave the Courtyard’s bartender one of the
busiest nights of his life. Sally Horchow
performed a YouTube-inspired retailoring
of her form T-shirt. Jessica Thompson
Somol saved the night with a late pizza
order (sadly, Pizza Wheels is no more),
and I learned more than I ever wanted to
know from Kit Tangen and Zander Packard
about the athletic gear handed out to boys
at the gym. All in all, it was a complete
evening that left us very ready (or un-
ready) for Saturday’s full day.
I’m not sure if anyone made it to the 8 a.m.
Fun Run on Saturday [Editor’s note: Freddy
Jones and Mo Cheston did!], but many of
us attended the Chapel service and alumni
meeting. I think it has been long enough
now that we all miss morning Chapel and
found it extraordinary to have a chance
once again to sit together in that beautiful
space. Afterwards, we gathered for the
Alumni Parade in our form sunglasses,
T-shirts, and hats, and made our way
past the Rectory, Nash, and Kitt to lunch
and form photos in the hockey rinks.
Formmates scattered after lunch to enjoy
the campus and the programs. Shattuck
swept the Boat Races, of course.
The great weather continued Saturday
night for our reunion bash at the (wonder-
fully air-conditioned) Concord Country
Club. Jon Shackett’s band, The Peaked Hill
Project, was a highlight of the whole week-
end, made even better when John Slocum
and Matt Comyns joined the performance.
Thanks to all who performed that night!
Our 25th represented our first reunion
for many of us. Over and over, people
talked about connecting to St. Paul’s and
our time there in a different way than
they ever had before. I want to thank all
who attended, all who donated to the
Alumni Fund, and, most of all, everyone
in our form who worked on making this
reunion happen – Sally Horchow, Chrissy
Coughlin, Jon Shackett, Freddy Jones,
Alison Manolovici Cody, Scott Davidson,
Blair Pillsbury Enders, and Laura Keeton
McVey and her tireless fundraisers. I was
lucky enough to have chances to build
new relationships with these formmates
well before the reunion weekend, and
because of this I’m very much looking
forward to being form director for our
30th. I’ll be seeing you in 2018.
