creative thinker has definitely been advantageous. What are some of your fond memories of e Day School? Our trips to the farm in Putney, Vermont were unforgettable! We always bonded as a class there, and I'll never forget waking up to milk the cows before dawn. I remember having so much fun with friends at Field Day in Central Park, and rooting for the boys' basketball team in 8th grade. e Fall Fair, held throughout the aisles of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, was amazing—so many parents, teachers and kids helping out in different ways; it was truly impressive. My most meaningful memory was definitely our graduation. ere were 30 kids in our class, and everyone either performed a song, choreographed a dance, read a poem, gave a speech, or acted out a skit. It was incredible because each performance reflected who each of us had become, because of our time at e Day School. I still remember so many of those performances; it was an incredibly special send-off. As a former President of the Alumni Association, what memories do you have of those foundational years for the Association? It was really so much fun to be part of that! So much had changed from the time I left in 1984— the school had a new name, a high school, a West Side campus. ere were ten of us who initially got involved. We would meet after work, order pizza, and just start calling people to tell them what was going on. We invited them back for the Fall Fair, alumni basketball games, and I think we planned one of the first reunions. It's hard to even imagine now—but this was before social media, so people just weren't as connected as we are today. In what ways are you living the mission of Trevor? is really makes me think about our class reunion last spring. Hearing about the range of experiences, careers, and journeys our classmates have taken was so impressive and fascinating. So many have pursued their passion as educators, in entertainment, business, or technology. Several still count their Day School classmates from 8th grade among their closest friends. Many of them have children and are devoted to instilling the values we learned at Trevor. I think we're all living the mission of Trevor, and I am so proud to be part of the class of 1984. Do you have any advice for current Trevor students? Well, many of my classmates and I will be turning 50 this year (eek!), and the path from 15 to 50 is not a straight line! We want to believe there will be a series of goals and achievements, of steps taken and boxes checked—but it really is a continuous and unpredictable journey. You'll have to make choices that you couldn't have imagined, and you may face setbacks you couldn't have anticipated. You'll never stop learning—and hopefully, you'll never stop growing and seeing the world a bit differently.
