b'the Hendrix Teacher of the Year award and a scholarship fund in his name. But his greatest legacy at the school is that faculty DNA characterized by decency, humor, and a belief in what students can accomplish. My daughter, Sydney, who was taught by his proteges, told me that in those classrooms, he was always there.Thanks Mr. Satterfield.nAN ESSENCE TO THE PLACE: BOB SATTERFIELDBy Bob DemareeIt was an honor to have been able to share 17 of Bob Satterfields 37 years at Greensboro Day School.When Vance Robertson retired in 1986, we set out to appoint a new Assistant Director for the Upper School. This person would be in charge of school discipline and so would need to be firm but flexible, fair and of good judgement, to possess calmness, good humor and compassion; and, particularly, this person needed to have a special relationship with students. As it turned out, finding the right person was not difficult at all, and I consider the years Bob Satterfield and I worked together in the Upper School office to be the most enjoyable and rewarding in my years in independent education.Bob and I discovered we had some things in common. We taught subjects (geometry and Latin) that turned out to be useful after all. We shared an interest in poking around flea markets, looking for treasures, and in good barbecue. Sometimes we combined these two interests, and, I have to tell you, on one occasion, it was in the middle of the day.More importantly, I like to think we shared a sense of what a school should try to be.
