Alumni
On the Road with Gilman Headmaster John Schmick, accompanied by various faculty members and Alumni Association officers, brought a bit of Gilman to California, New York and Massachusetts. A large group of Los Angeles area alumni joined together at the Beverly Hilton on January 18. Alumni living in and around San Francisco came together on January 20 at the Pacific-Union Club. In April, approximately 50 Gilman alumni and friends attended the annual Boston regional alumni event, hosted by Nikki and Harry Nudelman ’81 at their Commonwealth Avenue home. Nearly 150 Gilman alumni and friends attended the April 11 New York regional alumni event, hosted by Wm. Polk Carey ’48 and Francis J. Carey ’43 at the Racquet & Tennis Club in Manhattan. Freelance photographer Dana Underwood ’92 attended the San Francisco event and blogged about the evening. “One of the best things that happened to me as a child was being sent to Gilman School,” he said. “Outside of my parents, Gilman laid the foundation for my life to this point, and the further I get from my time there, the closer I feel to the place. Maybe I just appreciate it more as I get older. So I was really so excited to attend its San Francisco alumni event.”
