REUNION 2011
LUNCHING AND LISTENING For lunch, alumni enjoyed a barbeque in the Outer Courtyard while performing arts teacher Bob Rosen and the student Jazz ensemble entertained them. After lunch, alumni moved into the Meetinghouse for the Faculty/Staff Emeritus Ceremony and Meeting for Worship. Physical Education teacher Warren Salandy paid tribute to his colleague, Debbie Ferretti, the year’s Emeritus recipient and recent retiree. See page 38 for more on the emeritus ceremony. ALUMNI GALLERY Throughout the day, current students led tours of the School, including a visit to the Rosenquist Gallery showcasing the talents of alumni artists Richard Wedeen ’51, Stephen Chinlund ’51, Jordan Doner ’86, McKendree Key ’96, Doria Santlofer ’01, Eliza Koch ’06 and Penn Sultan ’06. The curatorial prowess of Sabrina Blaichman ’05, Caroline Copley ’05, Andrea Crane ’86, Genevieve Hudson-Price ’05, Jordan Doner ’86, Akaash Mehta ’01 and Martina Yamin, parent of ’83 and ’85 alumni, brought this unique show together. STORYCORPS This year, for the first time ever, alumni had the opportunity to participate in an oral history project organized through a partnership with StoryCorps, a nonprofit founded by Dave Isay ’83 which provides Americans with the chance to record, share and preserve their stories. Assisted by a professional recording crew, reunion attendees interviewed one another and relived memories. The conversation between English teacher John Byrne and his past student Samantha Liebman ’94 was aired on NPR’s Morning Edition on June 24, 2011. See page 20 for that story. Visit www.friendsseminary. org/storycorps to listen to excerpts from the 40-minute conversations recorded thus far. WRAPPING UP Reunion festivities concluded with cocktails at Brother Jimmy’s BBQ on East 16th Street, along with several individual reunion class gatherings throughout the weekend.
