August 3, 1921–January 29, 2021 Louis Wellington Cabot passed away Friday, January 29, 2021, at his home in Tenants Harbor, Maine.

At age 27, Louis oversaw construction of the company’s carbon black plant in England, which was America’s first foray into Europe under the Marshall Plan. Louis became president of the Cabot Corporation in 1960 and took the company public in 1967. He put his mark on company culture with his open, collaborative management style, and employees remember fondly the personal relationships he forged with them. Louis also served in many private- and public-sector roles, including chairman of the Brookings Institution and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and vice chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Louis is survived by his wife, Mabel Brandon Cabot; his first wife, Mary Louise Cabot; children James Bass Cabot, Anne Cabot Alletzhauser, Mithran Godfrey Cabot, Amanda Cabot and Helen Cabot McCarthy; brother Robert M.

1927-2021

Wallace B. Goodwin, who was a member of the FVS faculty from 1961-65, passed away in 2021. He loved coaching; ranching; his wife of 67 years, Nancy; their sons, Putter and Reamy; and their extended family, friends and pets. Wally was born and raised in Cincinnati and graduated from the University of Virginia, where he played football, baseball and swam. He then played golf on the PGA tour as an amateur and spent a couple years on a ranch before he found his passion in coaching. For nearly 50 years, Wally worked as an athletic director and coached football, basketball, baseball, track and golf at various prep schools, including FVS, Western Reserve Academy and Robert Louis Stevenson School. He also coached basketball at Stetson University and golf at Northwestern and Stanford universities and the University of Northern Colorado. During the summer months, Wally and Nancy would head to their family’s working guest ranch, Rafter Y Ranch in Banner, Wyoming. Wally irrigated the 1,000 acres with fervor, rising at 5 a.m. with the ever-present effort of “making water flow uphill.” During their four years at Fountain Valley, Wally, Nancy and their two sons lived in the Pink Jail. He was an incredibly accomplished individual, and a fondly remembered member of the FVS community. His granddaughter, Annie Goodwin ’08, recently died in a tragic horseback accident.

January 22, 1958–October 26, 2021 Lachlan K. “Lach” Clarke, who passed away on October 26, 2021, was Fountain Valley’s Riding Program director from 19902003. Under Lach’s guidance, the FVS Riding Program flourished, earning him several awards, including the Don Kardok Coach’s Award and the J. Philo Nelson Award for Excellence in Teaching. Lach, however, was much more than a riding coach. He was instrumental in bringing Western riding into other aspects of campus life. He rejuvenated the tradition of student weekend horseback camping excursions—a throwback to the Deck Cheney years of the school. Lach also founded a School horseback polo lacrosse team, and he competed in polo nationally while working at FVS. During the Colorado Springs Holiday Parade of Lights, Lach and FVS riders drove Belgian draft horses down Tejon Street, hauling a decorated hay wagon. He also facilitated FVS student competition at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, and he personally competed in the stock show’s Belgian-driving competition. A true Renaissance man, Lach was a certified sailboard and snowboard instructor, held a college punting record, and was a nationally ranked weightlifter. He performed live guitar and vocals at Stupid Night Out on several occasions and played the bagpipe recessional at the annual Winter Celebration. He also competed in the Alaskan Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race for 20 years. Lach met his wife, Linda, at Fountain Valley, and they were married on horseback on campus. He’s remembered by FVS faculty as a kind, patient and uniquely inspiring individual.
