ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
W
e would like to thank everyone who has helped us get here. This is the ninth edition of the A-Z Files, which would not have been possible without the generosity of all our donors and the support of the entire Allen-Stevenson Community. Thank you to David Trower for allowing us to memorialize our childhood friend and to David Kersey for guiding us in the appropriate direction to do so. We were the first kindergarten class when Mr. Trower became headmaster and wish him the best in upcoming retirement. We want to give a special parting thank you to Peter Haarmann; whose tenure at the school after 27 years has come to an end. His sustained encouragement year after year made the A-Z Files come to life. We can’t thank him enough for the heart he showed us dating back to when we were sixth graders and continuing to this day. And finally to the Levy Family: Helen, Mike, and Adam, we greatly appreciate you allowing us to share the spirit of Zach with a future generation. We appreciate Holden sharing some of his reflections whom Zach always spoke of fondly. Lastly, we must acknowledge the administration for taking on the publication’s financial responsibility, solidifying A-Z Files’ role in the Allen-Stevenson experience. A heartfelt thank you to all! 92
