Deborah Goodrich Royce Icy: Let's start with the book.

You've done a lot in your life—artist, executive, philanthropist, mom— why did you want to write a novel?

Deborah: I like to call myself a mature debutante. [Laughs] I tell people that the youngest child left the house and I got the real estate in my brain back. Which is kind of a joke, but not a joke. In all honesty, I've been coming to this for a long time, this story set in a discotheque the summer of 1979.

Becky: The settings are very specific and very carefully drawn.

Do they have meaning for you personally?

A couple of years ago the three of us—Deborah Royce, Icy Frantz and Becky Ford—started a writing group with a few friends to meet monthly and support each other.

This month one of us goes legit with her first book: Finding Mrs. Ford

by Deborah Goodrich Royce. On the eve of publication, we sat down to discuss Finding Mrs. Ford with Deborah—how she came to write it, the plot the process and (not least) how she balances writing with her very full life.

Finding Mrs . Ford is—as Kirkus Reviews recently said, “A compelling, well-written thriller with an effective, twisty plot.”—set in two times and places: modern day Watch Hill, RI, an aff luent seaside community, and Detroit, MI, where college seniors Susan and Annie find themselves serving cocktails in skimpy outfits in a disco in 1979. Back in Watch Hill the past, it seems, has finally caught up with Susan when two FBI agents visit her in her seaside home. 1979 rushes back with a vengeance at the mention of Sammy Fakhouri, an Iraqi Chaldean and Susan's summer romance from the disco, whom she denies ever knowing.

“That's odd,” one of the agents says, “because he knows you.” And so begins the unraveling of a mystery set in motion that fateful summer.

Oberlander, Litvack Kick Off Campaign

By Richard Kaufman Board of Estimate and Taxation chair, Jill Oberlander, and Selectman Sandy Litvack officially and collectively kicked off their campaig ns for f irst selectman and selectman in front of over 100 people inside the Town Hall Meeting Room on Tuesday night.

Supporters cheered loudly as the two were introduced by interim chair of the Democratic Tow n Committee, Gina Gladstein.

"The issues the tow n of Greenwich must face have become increasingly complex. We love our traditions and way of life, but in order to preserve all that we love, we must look for new and creative ideas to maintain them," Gladstein said. "Sometimes doing things the same way is not the best way. We believe our candidates have the skills to take on the very real issues we must confront now and into the future."

Oberlander is a former member of the Representative Town Meeting, who became the democratic chair of the BET in 2017. Now she's looking to become the first democratic first selectman elected in the town of

Greenwich since 2001 Litvack, who is seeking reelection as a selectman, is a former Assistant Attorney General in the Department of Justice, and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for Walt Disney. The pair will run together with the hopes of holding a democratic majority on the Board of Selectmen.

Oberlander said that if elected, she will focus on what she calls the "Three E's": Greenwich's Economy, Education and Environment.

On the economy, Oberlander said she will "focus on eliminating the stumbling blocks of starting a new business." She added that she would spend time "cultivating relationships" with existing town bu si ne s s e s to e n su r e t hey 'r e meeting their needs.

"Economic growth will increase our tax base, support our low mill rate, and preserve our enviable bond rating," she said.

On the education front, Oberlander remarked that the town needs to continue to invest in schools and bring infrastructure up to 21st century standards. " We nee d to el i m i nate t he ach ievement gap. We ne e d to

improve management operations and administrative record keeping to reduce unexpected costs and damages," she added.

Oberlander said that by focusing on the environment, Greenwich can move towards sustainability, which would save taxpayers money and protect parks and natural resources. " By adopt i ng p ol ic ie s t hat reinforce energy eff iciency and r e si l ie nc y, a nd ac c e s s to ou r greenspaces, recreational resources and coastline, we can truly revitalize Greenwich for years to come," she stated.

"Greenwich needs a leader who has the expertise and experience to address these issues and move beyond the status quo. We need a leader who will operate transparently, collaboratively and proactively, with an eye towards the future," Oberlander said. "We need a leader who puts policy over politics, who will reach across the aisle and across town to find solutions to bring our community results.

That is why I'm running for first selectman."

Litvack ran for first selectman in 2017, and lost to Peter Tesei, who is finishing out his final term in

Litvack instead took a seat as a selectman, but hesitated in doing so because he felt he wouldn't have a big impact on the town.

By teaming up with Oberlander, Litvack believes they can help lead Greenwich into the future.

"Wouldn't it be better to act as a team? Aren't two heads better than one? It takes a team,” Litvack said. “No single selectman, no single first selectman is going to be able to move the town forward the way the

two of us can and will do."

On the Republican side, State Rep. Fred Camillo, and current BET member, Michael Mason, have each announced they're running for First Selectman.

Republicans Dan Quigley, an RTM member; Granit Balidemaj, a Business Development Manager for Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits; and Joe Kelly, CEO of Uranium Markets and Greenwich High School Rugby coach, have all announced campaigns for Selectman.

The Cos Cob O’Neil Amphitheater Lives Again at Sarah Lawrence College

By Anne W. Semmes Gr e enw ich f r iend s a nd family of the late architect and sculptor, Horton O’Neil, were celebrating last week a mong t he da z z l i ng wh ite marble stones of the newly placed and named outdoor Remy Theater on the campus of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y. What was once the O’Neil Theater, a 500-seating Greek amphitheater encircled by hemlocks, hand built in 1938 by its architect Horton O’Neil (with help from his father and a few Italian stoneworkers) in the Lia Fail section of Cos Cob, a good percentage of it was rescued from destruction via the new property owner, with

approximately 2,000 pieces of marble relocated and restored to the SLC campus.

Its angel of rescue, Josie Merck, is a Saint Lawrence College alumna, as well as a longtime Cos Cob neighbor and friend of the late Horton O’Neil a nd h i s w i fe , t he da nceractress Madelyn O’Neil.

Merck, an artist and conservationist, addressed the crowd of some 80 guests in her Matisse-motif dress from center stage with spiral design meant to echo the original marble stage. She spoke of the many calls she had to make to configure how to relocate a 20-ton marble amphitheater which she was willing to fund.

“These stones are set

exactly as they sat 80 years a g o ,” s h e t o l d o f t h e 3 -D imaging process.

She thanked attending Wes Haynes, who was formerly with Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, and is now Executive Director of the Merritt Parkway Conservancy, for that necessary agreement g iven by the new Cos Cob property owners that “allowed us to remove and relocate the theatre within a period of a few months.”

With the clock ticking she soon found the answer for its relocation, Sarah Lawrence College, “where this exquisite marble theatre could continue its rich history of bringing together the arts, community

and education,” said Merck.

“We are standing on history in an open-air theatre that has held hundreds of productions, f rom dancing and musical performances to poetry r e a d i n g s a n d c o m mu n i t y e ve n t s ,” a d d r e s s e d S a i n t Lawrence College President, Cristle Collins Judd. “Even a young Jane Fonda graced this stage. And for decades, it served as a gathering place for the community — the heart of the neighborhood.”

Merck shared memories of seeing costumed second g r a d e r s a c t i n g o ut G r e e k my ths on its stage w ith the help of teacher-actress Florence Phillips, the sister-inlaw of Madelyn O’Neil and Lia

Fail resident, who was present.

To celebrate the theater’s opening night, Merck invited a n i mpr ov i s at iona l da nc e group from Greenwich, the Mov ing A rts Collaborative (its classes long held at the Greenwich Senior Center), to give a dance performance in honor of SLC alumna, the late Jane Milliken-Roberts. The new theater received its Remy name, Merck had explained, “after a beloved SLC faculty member, Remy Charlip, who taught theatre here.”

Sta nd i ng on the stones his father once helped carve out was Horton O’Neil’s son, David O’Neil, now residing i n L i nc ol n , M a s s . He w a s sharing how his father was

26 when he came up with his Greek amphitheater design as a student at Yale University.

Horton’s supportive father, David O’Neil Sr. had developed t he L ia Fa i l pr op er t y a nd decided it had room for his son’s design.

A t a ke aw ay i m age for many who attended the June 5 opening was how Merck described the extraordinary relocation ef fort carried out by t he O t tav i no stone artisans she learned to call the “monuments men,” famed for their installment of the Temple of Dendur in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “There they were tapping their rubber mallets, putting each stone into place,” said Merck.

The Remy Theater is located on the campus of Sarah Lawrence College.

Spring Football a Smashing Success for GHS

With head coach John Marinelli looking on, tryouts for the quarterback position were in full swing during warm ups prior to the start of Saturday's Red & White football game held at Cardinal Stadium. that there were two things in particular that amazed him. The team’s physical play, as well as speed, will be a force during the fall season.

“We are physical and that was the biggest surprise for me,” Marinelli said. “We were a very physical team last year, but we are really physical this year.

We have guys that are doing things that I never thought were possible in the practices that we had. Guys have really turned their bodies around in the offseason and are flying around and doing things the right way.

And I mean physical in a great and safe way.

“Another surprise is our team speed in all three phases,” Marinelli added. “Our speed is incredible. Just when I thought we were going to take a notch down in team speed, we look like we are going to be even faster than we were last year.

Those sophomore and juniors that become juniors and seniors have done a great job developing their bodies in the weight room.

Kids are working to get faster and faster.”

For Big Red, there was an added motivation factor during th is yea r ’s spr ing footba ll campaign. From the moment spr ing footba ll k icked of f, Greenwich knew that the target

on their backs will only get bigger as they inch closer to the fall season. But Marinelli said that it’s expected when a team runs the table during last year’s regular season and also brings home a CIAC class LL championship and ends the season as the No. 1 team in Connecticut.

The Cards also knew that they lost 33 seniors to graduation including quarterback Gavin Muir; receivers Stephen Bennett, Lance Large, Charlie Ducret and Hunter Cusimano; running backs Tysen Comizio and Teddy Bacon; and defensive specialists Mozi Bici, Jack Feda, Ryan Raybuck, Larry DeLuca, Emilio Camou and Joe Kraninger.

“We had one of the best teams in Greenwich football history and quite possibly in state history,” Marinelli said.

“I think there are a lot of kids that are excited about being a part of this legacy and be a part of the Greenwich history and tradition. We are the largest program in New England and our players do a great job getting the word out on the football team. Our coaching staff is very transparent and the way that we interact with the kids and their parents and the community is great. To see over 140 kids on

the football field for the spring game is a great sight.”

While standout seniors will shortly be officially GHS alums, Big Red has a plethora of talent returning, such as wideouts A.J. Barber, Evan Weigold and Kobe Comizio; running backs Hunter Clark, Jack Warren and Spencer Hartley; and defensive standouts Edward Iuteri and Hugo Mark.

A nd now that the two

weeks of spring practice is in the rear-view mirror, the countdown is on to the start of the fall season. When the clock during the Red & White game hit triple zeros and it was time for Marinelli to chat with his team one final time this spring, the head coach looked at the seniors and said that it’s now their team.

“It’s off icially their time,” Marinelli said. “The next two

months are going to be heavily based on their participation and leadership. They need to get the kids in the weight room and have to be the leaders out there. That was the message to the seniors — to challenge and lead their team and to take ownership of their season. The team knows that we are not going to beat teams 28 points this year. We need participation.

Last year was a special year and you can’t go into this year thinking every game is going to be like that. It’s time to get back to work and back to the grind.”

W h i le most a r e lo ok i ng forward to the summer months a nd enjoy i ng some wel ldeserved down time, this is the time that Marinelli and his coaching staff hates the most.

It’s the wait between spring football and the start of the fall season that drives Marinelli crazy, knowing that he’s inches away f rom getting back to Cardinal Stadium doing what he loves.

“I can’t wait for the fall,” Marinelli said. “It’s going to be new and exciting and we are going to see new faces, names and personalities. I feel like I belong on the football field.

If I could do it 24/7, I would.

Spring was a small sample size of what I really want it to be all year round. We are excited and Greenwich has a bright future.”

Greenwich High will begin its season on Sept. 14 with a game against Danbury High School.

It’s going to take a lot of hard work and dedication, but the Greenwich High School football team got the ball running on defending its CIAC class LL championship and undefeated season Saturday during the annual Red & White game at Cardinal Stadium.

“It was great,” said GHS head coach John Marinelli. “A lot of kids have been working hard in the offseason and we are going to give kids a chance to get their butts in gear and get ready to go because the season starts in three months. There’s a lot of good that comes out of spring football. I love it and it’s a fun time. It’s really competitive and we have a lot of guys fighting for position. We try and keep it fun and keep it energetic. We do it a little differently than most schools and I think that’s what makes it so much fun for the coaches and players.

While most schools that participate in spring football use that time to get in shape, work on plays for the upcoming season and practice offensive and defensive schemes, Marinelli and the Cardinals do things a little differently.

The head coach said that they emphasize special teams and winning a job on the field.

“You can be a sophomore and junior and still make an impact on the team,” Marinelli said.

“We split the team up in two, red and white, and each team had 50 minutes of special teams a day at minimum. When you think about the time that we are putting into special teams, which is the most important piece of the game, the emphasis is on the kids.

And for the athletes on the GHS roster, they most likely are working on things that they are not used to practicing.

“Most youth football leagues have got ten r id of sp e cia l teams, so we have to teach the fundamentals,” Marinelli said. “We do a lot of individual work. Because we put such an emphasis on it, we are able to go live special teams during our spring game.”

While it was great for Marinelli and his coaching staff to get a temperature on their squad during the two weeks of football, the head coach said

S u n ny s k i e s a n d w a r m temperatures greeted over 4,000 spectators who gathered at the Greenwich Polo Club Sunday afternoon to help kick off its 2019 high-goal season in grand and memorable style.

The members of this highenergy crowd, who filled up the sidelines of the Greenwich Polo Clu b’s ma ssive ma i n f ield to maximum capacity, delivered the goods in their u sua l fa sh ion . T hey wer e cheering and applauding for the two powerful high-goal teams, The Island House and Hawk Hill, as they faced off against one another in the celebrated tou r na ment, render i ng a n afternoon that could best be described as unforgettable.

In the end, The Island House wound up defeating Hawk Hill 13-7, with 20-year old Toro Ruiz Jorba, the Argentine sevengoaler (out of a 10 maximum) who is said to be one of the hottest rising stars in the sport, helping to steer his team to resounding victory.

For his efforts, Ruiz, who scored eight of Island House’s 13 total points, was named the match’s Most Valuable Player. He appea red to be thrilled with how the afternoon had unfolded, especially considering that in addition to his team’s win and being named the standout player, his pony, Especial, had been awarded the Best Playing Pony citation.

“It’s been great to get out and play with everyone and this is

Ruiz credited his teammates, Peter Holowe sko, S a nt i no Magrini, a four goaler and Peke Gonzalez, a f ive goaler, for the successful turnout of the afternoon.

“Everyone on our team is great and they are some of my best friends,” said Ruiz.

“We def initely have a good time playing together and I’m looking forward to going out there and playing with them again.”

This match, representing the first public game of the 2019 GPC season and part of the first and second-round series of the 2nd Annual Shreve, Crump & Low 16-goal tournament (that features six total teams on its roster), was all about d ra ma a nd excitement, as demonstrated by the crowd’s terrific reaction to all of the action and activity going on.

This contingent, comprised of women donned in colorful and f low y dresses, men in stylish, bright shirts and fitted slacks, and children in classic su m mer pa r t y st yles who were either seen walking on the sidelines or situated sitting under tents, on blankets and in the grandstand bleacher area, seemed to be as laser-focused as ever as to what was taking place on the vast Conyers Farm

Ruiz was riding his charge Especial, who clinched the Best Playing Pony citation. field which made for a terrific afternoon all around.

“I love playing the Sunday matches here more than anything. It’s very exciting to have all the people here watching,” said Ruiz, a crowd favorite, who also said in an interview he admires his uncle, Matias Magrini, the esteemed Argentinian seven-goaler and member of the Reelay team in this tournament, for his style and way of playing. “Everyone seems to be having a good time and that is the best thing.”

Certainly, this appeared to be the case as nearly all of the spectators seemed delighted

to be spending a Sunday afternoon watching polo at this famous and beatific club, regarded to be a main U.S. high-goal summer destination and originally founded by Peter Brant, the business tycoon and longtime patron and player of the esteemed Greenwich-based White Birch team in 1981.

“I’ve never b een to a polo match before and this has been a great time in all regards,” said Adam Brown of Hartford. “Being here has been incredible. I especially love the sound of the players and horses when they run from one side of the field to another. You can

almost feel the ground shake.”

For many, this also seemed to be a unique experience comparable to partaking in a vacation at an all-inclusive warm-weather resort, but with world-class polo as the main attraction.

“I’ve loved everything about what I’ve experienced here.

There seem to be so many aspects about being at [an event] like this,” said Brown.

“It’s so beautiful and it feels like you’re stepping into another world.”

The next public GPC match will be held on Sunday, June 15 and is slated to start at 3 p.m.

Finding Mrs. Royce

A conversation with Deborah Goodrich Royce about her new novel, Finding Mrs. Ford, continued from page 1 Deborah: A lot. I grew up in Michigan. I went to college in Ohio.

I use things from my life that are pertinent to the main characters. I play with names. My maiden name was Goodrich, my married name is Royce. Susan starts out as Bentley, then becomes Ford. They are all automotive names and I do love Detroit. And I did work in a disco for a summer job!

I had an inbuilt interest in the Chaldean people from when I worked in the disco. There is a large population of Chaldeans in the Detroit Metropolitan area and I was intrigued with their history. And then, exactly when I started writing this book, ISIS was marching on Mosul and the very homeland of the Chaldeans. They were going into that exact region and persecuting those exact people. It all just Icy: Doing what?

Deborah: I was a cock tail dovetailed into this story and was waitress and felt exactly the way the trigger for Sammy Fakhouri.

Becky: You have a very precise, I described Susan, like I was Margaret Mead going into some formal voice that gets extended distant foreign culture. It was a to your characters. How did you fascinating world that was the polar develop your voice?

Deborah: My voice is my voice opposite to the collegiate world I normally inhabited. and I've learned over time to have Becky: Susan and Annie are confidence in it. Because of the the co-ed protagonists and unlikely Avon, I had a relationship with friends. Are you a Susan or an Gene Wilder whom I worshiped and admired beyond description.

Annie or a both?

Deborah: That's really the At one point, I shared a screenplay big question. Look at Gone With with him and he gave me some The Wind, a book that employs notes and a tremendous amount contrasting female archetypes. My of encouragement. I think I found character Annie is the Scarlett type my voice by using my voice. I heard and Susan is definitely Melanie. As Margaret Atwood say you learn to I began the book, I identified with write by writing and I think as you Susan, but the more I wrote Annie, put it on the page and other people the more I came to like and relate give you the feedback that you're to her as well. Like Scarlett she's not crazy or in some self-deluding just indomitable. There's a survivor vacuum, you find your voice.

Icy: Is there a scene that stands out? One you really loved writing?

D e b o r a h: I love d w r it i n g Susan's memories of her husband, Jack. It's no secret to anyone who’s ever met my husband that Jack Ford is very much based on Chuck Royce. I actually might get emotional talking about it. I feel like I was able to capture Chuck in a way. Not everything about him, Icy: How much research beyond obviously, but there's something your own experience, life and of him that was put on the page through this fictional character environment did this book take?

Deborah: I did a lot of research. that I may not have been able to quality to her and an unquenchable love of life. Readers of early drafts of Finding Mrs. Ford would ask me why a nice girl like Susan would follow a crazy girl like Annie into a disco, but I was like that as a young girl. I was dazzled by big personalities. I think a lot of us are.

And, in the end, I would say that most of us have a bit of both types of women within us.

do so easily with the real person.

By creating a character modeled on my husband, I was able to pick and choose salient points.

Because Susan is both a grieving widow and a woman who finds herself in a moment of real crisis with the past closing in on her, she uses this trick of conjuring up memories to mentally escape her present situation. She gets so deep into those memories it’s like she's having an out of body experience. It was really enjoyable to write those little vignettes of him.

That's a total of five years.

Ic y : D i d yo u e ve r to t a l l y disagree with your editors or agent?

Deborah: Yes, I did. In the last round, there was a suggested change—and it's stuff I can't really reveal because of the nature of the plot—but there was something. I think of my book as structured like a roller coaster ride. You go up up up, then crash down, then you do it again. Had I made the suggested change, it would have been more like the scrambler ride. I made my case, I was heard, and the structure Becky: How long did it take you stayed as it was.

Icy: What is your process like? to write Finding Mrs. Ford?

D e b o r a h: F r o m t h e f i r s t When do you write?

D e b o r a h : I d o n' t h a v e a word on the page to having a first draft was one year. At that point, regular schedule because of my I attended a writer's conference commitments.

Protecting and Advancing Women’s Rights is a Bipartisan Issue

By Livvy Floren

On June 5, my colleagues and I welcomed the end of a contentious 2019 session headlined by the state budget, a $15 minimum w age , a ha l f p er c ent p ay r ol l tax for a state-run paid family and medical leave program, an ongoing tolls debate, and more.

Despite the endless policy discussions in the committee rooms and legislative chambers, there were moments of bipartisan celebration such as the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the r ig ht to vote in America. The day was June 4, 1919 when a Republican-led Congress voted to adopt the amendment

It was ratif ied on Aug. 18, 1920 once Tennessee became t h e 3 6 t h s t ate to s i g n . O ve r 70% of the states to ratif y t h e a m e n d m e nt we r e l e d by Republican legislatures. Of those s t ate s , 1 2 h ad a l r e ady g ive n women the right to vote before the amendment went into effect.

Si nce ratif ication, women have f lourished in government and the private sector, breaking barriers each day and opening doors for others, but there is more work to be done. In Hartford, I continue to work side-by-side with Republican and Democratic lawmakers to address issues that disproportionately affect women including pay inequality, domestic v iolence , s ex ua l a s s au lt a nd healthcare. In the past two years alone, I have cosponsored the following legislation: S . B 3: C ombat in g S ex u al Assault and Sexual Harassment, r e q u i r e s s e x u a l h a r a s s m e nt training in workplaces with three or more employees, and lengthens the statute of limitations to 30 years for sexual assault victims who may have been af raid to initially come forward.

For years, this has discouraged many individuals, primarily women, from reporting heinous acts. Now, police will undergo more rigorous training to help identify the guilty party.

services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newbor n hea lth care, menta l health, behavioral health and substance use disorder services, prescription drugs, rehabilitation, laboratory services, preventative services, and pediatric care.

Within the past few years, I have also cosponsored an act requiring insurers to offer both ma m mog raphy a nd mag netic resonance imaging as options for breast cancer screening for women with family histories of breast cancer.

In 1919, the Republican Party o p e n e d d o o r s to m i l l i o n s o f women who had been suppressed for generations. A lthough the political landscape has changed in the years since, know this – the fight for total equality is ongoing, and there are strong women and men on both sides of the aisle who continue to overcome immense hurdles and open doors for the next generation. Just because an elected official has an “R” or “D” after their name does not mean they do not also represent an “E” for equality.

Reconsider Canceling Bus Service

Offering Transportation for Greenwich students who attend Eagle Hill is Good for Everyone.

By Patty Murphy To the Editor: I write as a Greenwich resident and ta xpayer, one of several on the Eagle Hill School Board of Trustees, to urge the Greenwich Public School District to reconsider canceling busing ser v ice for Eag le H i l l School families.

Notifying our school community of this decision in June, after a significant number of Greenwich families decided to enroll and re-enroll in Eagle Hill assuming that buses would be available for the 2019-2020 school year, seems abrupt and unfair.

Not on ly do we objec t to t he decision, but also to the process.

Eagle Hill School is a hidden gem in the Greenwich community, a community that values diversity and respect for all individuals.

We are a state-approved special education school whose children require highly specialized

e du c at i o n a l i n s t r u c t i o n du e to la ng uage-based lea r n ing differences. Our families do not aspire to attend Eagle Hill School, they need to.

Our families choose Eagle Hill School because their children could not access the education they need in a mainstream school environment. Having a child with special needs is an enormous strain on our families, not to mention a staggering f inancial bu rden. Ou r pa rents pay t he hefty tuition for an individualized education, often in addition to the cost of multiple therapies and testing.

A s a s cho ol , we a r e go o d neighbors and participants in the Greenwich community. We offer an annual speaker series free of charge to anyone who would like to attend. We teach our students to be role models of civic responsibility with several community outreach programs.

For ex a mple , ma ny st udent s

volunteer to help at Neighbor to Neighbor, serve dinner at a local soup kitchen, or visit with Alzheimer’s patients each month through our “Sweet Readers” program.

The presence of private schools enhances the community’s property values and directly contributes to the bottom l i ne of t he Greenw ich P u bl ic Schools budget. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, per pupil spending for fiscal year 2017 in the state of Connecticut was $19,322.

Factoring in capital expenditures and operational costs, we can safely round that up to $20,000+ per student. In fact, the per pupil spending for an Eagle Hill child in the Greenwich school system would be much higher because that child would require special services from the public school.

By choosing to send their children to Eag le H ill School rather than stay in the publicschool system, our Greenwich

families are effectively saving the town taxpayers approximately $1 million annually. Greenwich administrators were unable to quantify the savings rendered by this specific decision on busing, but given these buses are shared with the other private schools in town, we assume it is negligible.

Taking away the bus service creates an enormous burden for our families. It also will create an enormous burden on the town in terms of traffic with an additional 50 cars navigating an already congested area of town on and around Glenville Road. Increased safety concerns for local residents may require additional traff ic m a n age me nt r e s ou r c e s . T he e nv i r on me nt a l i mp ac t a lone would be significant.

In the spirit of shared values as educators and parents, please reconsider this decision.

Ending Transportation for Eagle Hill Students Will Be Bad for Everyone

By Dr. Marjorie Castro

To the Editor: I w r ite to you to day w it h distressing news. The Greenwich School Distr ict has in for med us that, after this school year, t h e y w i l l n o l o n g e r p r ov i d e transportation for Greenw ich students who attend Eagle Hill School.

This change will negatively i mp a c t G r e e nw ich r e side nt s – students and their families – attending Eag le H ill for its personalized educational program and highly sk illed faculty. Greenwich has provided transportation for our students for decades and this decision coming in June is a shock to our families who depend on it.

Eagle Hill is a Connecticut State approved private special

education school that educates students with a variety of language-based learning differences, including dyslexia, dysg raph ia, dysc a lc u l ia, a nd A DHD. Our school ser ves students ages f ive through 15 from Fairfield and Westchester counties. Our goal is to provide these students with remediation and the academic tools needed to transition back into mainstream school set ti ngs. Ma ny of ou r students graduate from Eagle Hill and continue on to be successful in the Greenwich School District.

I recently met with Superintendent of Schools, Ralph Mayo, and Chief Operating Officer, Lorianne O’Connell. They explained that the transportation cut was due to an effort to control spend i ng. They refer red to a “ratio” in an old state statute

wh ich says a major it y of t he students in a non-public school must be Connecticut residents in order to get transported by the school district. Just over 47% of our students are Connecticut residents so we miss this ratio by less than 3%. For all the years that Greenwich transported our students, we never quite met this ratio, yet our students were provided with transportation.

As a Head of School, and a former Superintendent of Schools in a public-school district, I am familiar with and sympathetic to making tough financial decisions, however, I always made those decisions with heart when the situation called for it. I believe that this is just such a situation.

I also question how much the district is saving by not allowing our students to travel on buses

that take children to other private schools in Greenwich?

Many other school districts do transport students to our school, understanding the importance of the work we do with students who have complex learning challenges.

We encourage our parents, alumni families and friends who k now of t he i mp or t a nt work t hat go e s on e ach a nd ever y day at Eagle Hill on behalf of ou r s t ude nt s , to c ont ac t t he Superintendent of Schools and Board members to encourage them to revisit this decision.

We h o p e t h e G r e e n w i c h School Board will reconsider this decision that will so negatively impact our Greenwich families and their children.

Loved Ones and Flags Recently, on June 6, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the allied invasion of Europe that would ultimately lead to the end of World War II. We were moved by the imagery and words spoken at ceremonies in England and France. We listened to big band music from the early 1940s and tried to understand the emotions and heart ache of a nation at war. And of course, like many, we said a silent prayer of gratitude for all those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The day also got us thinking about how our population ages. There are fewer and fewer members of the armed forces who participated in World War II every day. The “Greatest Generation” is being replaced with the “Baby Boomer” generation. Today there are approximately 47 million seniors (those 65 years of age or older) living in the United States.

As baby boomers age that number is anticipated to reach 100 million by 2060.

With an aging population come challenges. Some quick facts; over 50% of those that live past 65 years will need long-term care, 10% of seniors have Alzheimer’s and it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Today, there are approximately one million Americans living in senior living communities. By 2030 – 10 years from now – that number is expected to double, with many of them living in assisted living communities.

These are not small numbers. Who are they?

They are our loved ones. Our parents, and for an increasing number, our spouses. Dealing with a loved one who has dementia or Alzheimer’s can be incredibly difficult and emotional. Watching our loved one disappear in front of our eyes can be heart wrenching.

If there is a silver lining, it is that with this portion of our population increasing more and more support is becoming available. The Greenwich Commission on Aging recently held a series of Dementia Friends and Dementia Live training sessions. These are incredibly important, not just to those whose loved ones are aging but to our community as a whole.

We need to de-mystify dementia and Alzheimer’s because they increasingly affect our community.

For many of us, when we think of an assisted living facility, we may think of elderly people in wheelchairs in a semicircle vacantly watching the day pass. Yes, there are facilities like that, but fortunately there are also facilities that are the antithesis. One here in town is The Greens of Greenwich on King Street. They asked us to visit and always wanting to learn more about our community we enthusiastically said yes.

W h e n w e w a l k e d t h r o u g h t h e d o o r, w e immediately heard a rousing chorus of “Take Me Out to The Ball Game.” During our entire visit we heard a continuous and enthusiastic number of old favorites and show tunes. Maria Scaros, the Executive Director, explained that was part of their magic. Their residents were not patients, they were family. The best way to help a family member with dementia or Alzheimer’s retain their vibrancy and connectiveness is through music, dance, movement and art. They are some of our earliest imprints as an infant and they are last to leave us as well.

Maria has a unique, gentle and respectful way at The Greens. They have room for 31 residents with no want or desire to grow larger. As she says, “it would take away from the relationships we have with our families.” Bravo. They have created an assisted living facility filled with singing, dancing, laughter and family that you hear the moment you walk through the door.

If you can, stop by next Thursday as they celebrate the Summer Solstice with the Madkoi String Quartet performing Vivaldi’s Summer and other seasonal classical pieces. Information can be found on their website www.thegreensatgreenwich.com. The public is invited. Enjoy!

Publisher’s Note: F i na l ly, F r iday, to day, is F lag Day, wh ich commemorates the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777. It was the favorite holiday of the late Ambassador Joseph Verner Reed. Ambassador Reed, of Greenwich, held many positions during his lifetime of service to our country as a diplomat. He was incredibly proud of his work with the United Nations which we have written about. Many do not know that he was also Ambassador to Morocco. When serving in that post from 1981 to 1985 he f lew the largest American flag on the African continent. Happy Flag Day, Mr. Ambassador.

Bringing God to the Soldiers and the Soldiers to God

By Nathan Hart I first met David Borden about three years ago when our church hired him to lead our Stamford initiative. I was immediately drawn to him: he has that rare c om b i n at i on o f l i g ht h e a r te d youthfulness and spiritual depth.

When we hired David, we knew that he was an Army Reserve Chaplain and that a deployment would be an unlikely possibility.

Honestly I didn’t think it would actually happen. But then it did.

In March of 2018, the Army called up David to a 13-month deployment starting that fall. As of today, he has been overseas for over eight months and is scheduled to return to the U.S. in Sept., 2019.

Thanks to modern com munication technolog ies, I have frequently remained in contact with David and recently

asked him some questions: What f irst inspired you to become an Army Chaplain?

While in college, I had a pr ofe s s or who w a s a n A r my Reserve Chaplain. He told me that “soldiers need good pastors just like civilians do.” At that point I knew I was called to be a pastor but was still unsure about Military Chaplaincy. My senior year of college I found out about the Army Chaplain Candidate Program. This program allows people to be an intern in the Army with no service obligation. I applied and was accepted. That summer I went to Fort Knox Kentucky to minister to soldiers. Something clicked there.

I realized that I loved and cared for soldiers, and I had a natural ability to connect with them. I had opportunity after opportunity to care for soldiers who would never walk into a church building. I

left that summer knowing I was called “to bring God to soldiers and soldiers to God.” What is a typical day like for you?

Every day is different. I spend much of my time doing site visits.

My soldiers are spread across different bases and it is my job to connect with them. When I travel I provide different trainings like ethics, spiritual health, and suicide prevention. I also provide religious services. Whether it’s on the hood of a Humvee or in a chapel, I set up field services where soldiers can take part in both Word and Sacrament.

Whenever I travel to a location I speak to each soldier. I learn their names and something about each. I do this in order to lay a foundation of relationship. The better this foundation the more likely they are to reach out. Much of my job is

relationship building.

What are some things you miss about life in the U.S.?

I m i s s m y w i f e . We t a l k regularly, but because of the time difference it is hard to connect for long. Rachel is my life partner, when we got married I never expected to be away from her for so long. This year has grown my love for her in a new way.

I miss variety. I have very little variety in the foods I eat and the things I do. Routine is good, but sometimes there is a need to switch it up. This is why I enjoy travel to different places, because I get to experience more variety.

I miss my Stanwich Church f a m i l y. H e a l t h y C h r i s t i a n friendships are dif ferent than any other kind of friendship. At home I have multiple life-giving friendships. What do I mean by that? When I spend time with

a Military Chaplain is caring for individuals who are spread out geographically. My “congregation” (my unit) is in many countries.

This is why relationships with other Chaplains is so important.

When I f irst travel somewhere I f ind the local base Chaplain and introduce him or her to my soldiers. I want to make sure my unit has access to a Chaplain.

Also, I am an advisor to the Commander of religious and ethical issues. Commanders have a lot of pressure, and sometimes they need a conf idant who can hear their ideas. I view this as an important role and a welcome challenge for my ministry.

I ask you to join me in praying for David, his wife Rachel, and the troops he serves.

these individuals I am encouraged and energized. Being in a secular organization this year, I find that relationships are approached in a different way. Most often relationships are viewed as a transaction, as in “what can you do for me?” I don’t have very many life-giving friendships here. I miss that.

Describe a major challenge you face as a chaplain.

Rev. Dr. Nathan Hart is the One of the major challenges of Senior Pastor at Stanwich Church.

This proved to be fortuitous since in 1958 he accepted a position as a sales representative at the venerable Life magazine, then at its peak in the media world.

After a highly successful seven-year sales career at Life, Howlett joined Time Inc.'s prestigious business magazine, Fortune, in 1965 as their New York manager.

In 1970, a rare opportunity was afforded him with the flagship Time magazine in Europe. He became the European publishing director of Time's International Editions, with responsibilities for Europe, the Mideast and Africa, and was based out of Time's London office. Howlett's family joined him on this fiveyear adventure. He considered his time in London to be a remarkable business challenge given each country's unique cultural nuances and varying levels of marketing sophistication, which required a deft approach.

With some regret, he returned to the United States in 1974 to become associate publisher of Sports Illustrated. Two years later, he was promoted to advertising director and in 1980 was named publisher.

In 1984, Howlett made the groundbreaking decision for SI to become an Official Olympic Sponsor of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The publication's ongoing sponsorship of the Summer and Winter Olympics proved to be a revenue-generating bonanza for SI for several decades to come.

Following three successful years in the publisher role, Howlett was promoted to executive vice president of Time Inc.'s Magazine Division, serving as deputy to the president, Kelso Sutton. In that capacity, Howlett oversaw the monthly titles at Time, Inc., while Sutton was responsible for the weeklies.

Howlett took early retirement from Time, Inc. in 1986 to enjoy more time with his wife, Ann, and their children and grandchildren. He also immersed himself in his interests, which included traveling, reading, writing, attending the theatre and playing golf.

Ann, his beloved wife of 68 years, died in 2018 in Pasadena after battling Alzheimer's for more than 10 years. Their second child, Hilary, died of cancer at age 65, also in 2018. Howlett is survived by his four children, Leslie, Peter, Grayle and Philip, and three grandsons, Luke, Dylan and Matthew. Howlett's sister, Ruth E. Pearce, is his sole surviving sibling.

Ph i l ip G. Howlet t, a long ti me resident of Greenwich, Conn., who lived most recently in Pasadena, Calif., died on May 9 surrounded by family.

He was 91 years old. A memorial service is being planned for a future date.

Howlett was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on March 3, 1928, the son of Grayle W. Howlett, Sr., and Ruth E. Temmel, the seventh of eight children. He moved to Evanston, Ill., as a child and attended Catholic and public primary schools before matriculating to Evanston Township High School, from which he graduated in 1945. He was the starting shortstop his junior and senior years and, with several teammates, attended a St. Louis Cardinals training camp in Illinois with little success. (He couldn't hit the curve.)

Too young to enter the armed services, he earned a scholarship to Northwestern University, where he completed his freshman year. Now of age, he joined the U.S. Army on Aug. 1, 1946, and served in the Army of Occupation in Yokohama, Japan. After receiving an honorable discharge in November 1947, he resumed studies at Northwestern and made the varsity baseball team. In 1949, he married a fellow student, Ann Flowers, and a year later earned his B.S. in Political Science.

Upon graduation, Howlett took a job in the public relations department of Wilson Sporting Goods Co. When the department expanded to include advertising, he was promoted to director in 1954. While at Wilson, he ghostwrote books with Australian tennis great Frank Sedgman (Frank Sedgman's Winning Tennis, 1954) and professional baseball player/manager Paul Richards (Modern Baseball Strategy, 1955). He also had the pleasure of conducting the press party for the promising young golfer Arnold Palmer, who was turning professional after winning the National Amateur Championship and joining the prestigious Wilson Sporting Goods Co. advisory staff.

After retiring, Howlett wrote a short memory piece about Palmer's early professional years, which appeared in Sports Illustrated.

In 1956, Howlett received an attractive offer from Christina Anne Pucci passed away at home on Saturday, June 1, 2019 surrounded by family and McCann Erickson but after several years determined friends. Affectionately known as "Bean" to her family, the ad agency side of the business was not for him.

Lorretta "Lorry" Margaret Riley Lambert died peacefully in White River Junction, Vt. on June 4, 2019. Lorry was born in Jackson, MI on May 4, 1931.

A graduate of St. Mary's High School, Jackson, MI, Lorry received an AB from St. Mary's College, South Bend, Ind., in 1953. While attending college in South Bend, Lorry met John "Jack" F. Lambert, from Darien, CT who was attending the University of Notre Dame across the street. They married in 1953. After Jack finished law school and a federal judicial clerkship, they settled in Greenwich, CT in 1957 and in later years, split their time between Greenwich and their second home in Conway, N.H. Lorry was a homemaker while she raised her six children. She was incredibly proud of her six and over achieved in her goal of them being close friends.

When Lorry's youngest headed off to first grade, Lorry started teaching 5th grade at the Greenwich Academy, a position she held for about twenty-five years. Her passion in education was literacy and even after retiring she continued this focus, tutoring underprivileged children in reading.

Lorry was who you called in a crisis. If you had a troubled teenager, you sent the kid to live with Lorry. If one of her children took a class that was too hard, she could create a study plan even if she had no idea what organic chemistry was all about. Just had a baby? Lorry moved in with you, took care of the baby, did all the laundry and left the freezer filled with dinners. She was an accomplished cook, threw fabulous dinner parties, and for years her St. Patrick's Day Party was the spring event. She sewed clothes for herself and children, was a voracious reader, a skilled bridge player and walked the neighborhood with friends.

Lorry is survived by her six children: John (Kim) of Cumberland Foreside, ME, James or Jim (Lauren) of Larchmont, N.Y., Loretta or Peggy Allen (Todd) of Hartford, Vt., Eileen of Ramsey, N.Y., Elizabeth or Liza Henshaw (Richard) of Waccabuc, N.Y., and Philip (Kirsten) of Ramsey, N.J. and 16 grandchildren: Emily, Deirdre, and Julia Lambert; James and Alexa Lambert; Kate (Colin Wilke) and Lorretta (Jason Edes); Isabel and Phoebe Bejarano; Rick, Jack and Riley Henshaw; and Spencer, Jake, Riley and MacKenzie Lambert.

Lorry was predeceased by her parents, Phillip Arthur Riley and Loretta Margaret O'Meara Riley, her brother, Martin Riley, and is survived by her brother, Phillip Riley of Jackson, Mich.

A Catholic mass with a celebration of Lorry's life was held June 12 at St. Michael's Church, Greenwich where Jack and Lorry were communicants. A reception at the Belle Haven Club followed. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be given in Lorry's name to EverybodyWinsVermont, a literacy mentoring program: everybodywinsvermont. org

Ronald Brushaber Ronald Brushaber, 57, of Greenwich, passed away on May 6, 2019. Ron was born on Feb. 23, 1962 and lived in Greenwich, CT. He is survived by his mother, Erna, and was predeceased by his father, Hugo, and a brother in Germany.

Ronnie attended Greenwich Public Schools, graduating from Greenwich High School in 1980 and then attended the University of New Hampshire. He spent his life in the construction industry and became an accomplished carpenter, working for MMR Construction, Inc. for numerous years.

Ron's heart was made of gold and he made it a calling to help those whom he thought needed help whether or not he knew them. Ron was generous and a loyal friend who always had your back. When Ronnie's mom became ill, he became her primary care giver and remained true to his character and took exceptional care of her. Ron loved all animals and dogs, especially his four Rottweilers; Cooper I, II, III & IV. Ron loved to travel especially to Germany, Maine, The Outer Banks, Newport and the Florida Keys.

He enjoyed cooking and being near or on the water.

Ronnie loved life, laughter and people of all ages. Ron had numerous friends and he will be missed by many.

Visitation was Tuesday, June 11 at Thomas M. Gallagher Funeral Home in Stamford. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Shelter Our Strays (SOS), Friends of Greenwich Animal Control, 393 North Street, Greenwich, CT 06830.

Edith Radley Edith Marguerite Radley, age 80, a longtime resident of Edgartown, Mass., died on Tuesday, April 16 as a result of complications from an infection. Born on Sept. 16, 1938, in Stamford, CT, to Eleanor Bartram Radley and John J. Radley, Jr., Edie graduated from The Greenwich Country Day School and Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, CT. She received her Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts from Colby Junior College in 1958. Edie held non-profit jobs in New York City, including volunteering for the Lighthouse Guild. She worked for New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay, ultimately serving as one of Mayor Lindsay's appointment secretaries. Edie worked on Mayor Lindsay's 1972 Presidential campaign, as well.

Edie moved to Edgartown full-time in 1973. She was co-owner of a craft and gift shop and volunteered as an Emergency Medical Technician. She also became very involved at St. Andrews Church in Edgartown.

Serving on the vestry, singing in the choir, and most notably creating the Mission Shop, which sold gifts, cards and items of a religious nature, Edie very much enjoyed giving back and supporting the church as well as other island charities. She also served on the Advisory Board of Sail Martha's Vineyard.

Edie loved to surround herself with family and friends, inviting them for a meal or to stay in her home.

An avid reader, Edie enjoyed discussing the events of the day. She was very loyal to the people and animals in her life. She will be greatly missed and remembered for her generosity of spirit and caring nature.

Edie was predeceased by her parents and three sisters – Harriet Windsor Wrightson, Eleanor Windsor White and Elizabeth Radley Anderson. She is survived by her family - Katy and Chris Gray, Mary and Sam Boothby, Ann Wrightson and Tim Maloy, George and Kathy Wrightson, Peter and Jill White, Sherm and Pat White, David and Sue White, and many great-nieces and nephews, as well as a large circle of friends.

A memorial service was held June 10 at St. Andrews Church in Edgartown. Interment took place June 13 at Putnam Cemetery in Greenwich. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edie's name to Sail Martha's Vineyard, P.O. Box 1998, Vineyard Haven, MA 02568 or the Animal Shelter of Martha's Vineyard, P.O. Box 1829, Edgartown, MA 02539.

GCDS Unveils Center for Public Good

By Richard Kaufman

Greenwich Country Day School students take part in a meal packing event for Rise Against Hunger.

Greenwich Country Day School has long been associated with helping and serving others, and now the school is enhancing the way in which students, faculty members and families can give back.

As GCDS prepares to open its upper school for grades 9-12 next fall, the school unveiled the Center for Public Good, which will institutionalize the whole school's commitment to the value of service to others that has been a part of GCDS since 1926.

The CPG w ill connect the GCDS community to its service partners. Students’ service — through events like food drives and work with nonprofits — will build skills, provide firsthand, real-world learning opportunities, and help them envision a future in which service is part of their everyday lives, perhaps even as a career.

The mission of the CPG will be "to nourish our innate desire to make the world a better place, to learn about the world and its needs, and to be inspired to take action."

The program will be led by Jen Donnalley, a math teacher at

GCDS, who has coordinated past community service efforts.

Donnalley said she's "incredibly excited" to be the inaugural director of the CPG. " I have b e en r u n n i ng t he community service program at GCDS for 25 years, and I am thrilled that we have created the Center for Public Good to ensure that service is always a core part of our culture," she said. "The CPG makes it clear how committed we are to ensuring that our students learn the importance of and value in living a purposeful life. The establishment of the high school is a natural time to reflect on our values."

D on n a l ley note d t h at t he announcement of the creation of the CPG has resonated with members of the GCDS community.

Headmaster of Greenw ich Country Day School, Adam Rohdie, said that the CPG has been in the works for a while, and the recent passing of President George H.W. Bush, a GCDS alum, helped to catalyze the effort to start the program.

"At the core of GCDS, we've

always believed there is rooted a n i nc r e d i bly r ich cha rac ter development program... Our kids are going to go on and be leaders at their colleges and into the real world, and we want those kids to have a finely tuned moral compass...

Creating a center which creates an intentional structure around what we've been doing somewhat less intentionally is pretty exciting," Rohdie said.

"This was just a perfect way to celebrate the work that we do, the character development that we do, and to celebrate President Bush's legacy which is all about character, which is all about making the world a better place through civic engagement and responsibility," added Rohdie.

The CPG will administer an annual grant program that will put the CPG's mission into practice.

Four grants will be given out each year in December honoring two current retiring teachers, Jon Bates and Jack Jepson; Pat Young, the founder of Stanwich School; and Bush, GCDS Class of ‘37.

"Each [grant] will honor an aspect of the CPG which was special to these important members of our community, including the environment, engaging with other cultures, community service, and public service," said Donnalley.

GCDS will continue all of the service projects they've done in the past, such as volunteering with nonprofits, and working with the homeless population in New York City. The younger students will make birthday bags, pack rice and beans and make meals for the Midnight Run. Initial plans for projects under the umbrella of the CPG include: a cooking class. Each week, the food will be prepared for a different nonprofit. Service and math will be combined in a lesson about unit cost, as students shop for clients at

Neighbor to Neighbor.

Teachers will also offer "pop-up service-related classes", which will combine their discipline with a need in the community. For example, students in technology class will make games for the children's room in a local hospital; graphic design students will make flash cards for clients at Building One Community; and sewing students will make supplies for the Midnight Run. The c ycle of lear n ing and helping others is a very important aspect of the CPG, said Rohdie.

"In a small way, we're making a difference in someone's life. The flip side of that is there's nothing more powerful for a young person than to get that feeling of helping somebody else, and thus, our students are significantly impacted by doing that service work almost in some ways as much as the recipients of their service work," he said.

Rohdie added that Donnalley is the perfect person to lead the CPG. "There are some people out there who are almost transcendent.

Jen is the kind of person who lives their life solely in the service of others," he remarked.

Donnalley often says she has the best job in the world.

"There is nothing better than teaching children what it feels like to do good in the world,” said Donnalley. “I have my parents to thank for teaching me from a young age that every single person’s actions impact the world, and we have a responsibility as citizens of this planet to make a daily impact to improve someone else’s life. We have 'character talks' at Country Day, and this year I gave mine on the topic of heroes. I told the students that I have lots of heroes because my job puts me in the position to meet people all the time who inspire me to become a better version of myself."

Greenwich Honors D-Day Invasion With Ceremony JOHN FERRIS ROBBEN PHOTO

By Richard Kaufman

Bill Fulilove and First Selectman Peter Tesei place a ceremonial wreath at the flagpoles of Town Hall.

Seventy-five years ago, in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, the greatest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare took place.

D-Day, or Operation Overlord, was launched across the English Channel to the shores of f ive beaches — Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Led by the United States, Great Britain and Canada, more than 156,000 troops landed on the beaches that day, and in the months to come eventually fought across Europe, successfully liberating millions of people against the tyranny of Nazi Fascism and ending the brutal dictatorship of

Adolf Hitler.

Last Thursday, the Town of Greenwich gathered in front of Town Hall to commemorate the anniversary of the turning point of World War II, and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

"All the intrepid soldiers that landed in France knew well that D-Day may be their last day on earth, but they did it anyway, and 27,000 of them died," said Peter Le Beau, Commander for the American L e g ion Po s t 2 9. " T he s t a ke s could not have been greater, for if Operation Overlord was to fail, a distinct possibility given Germany's

military superiority in France, the war could have been prolonged for years or worse."

Le Beau noted that the loss of life on D-Day alone was horrific, as the Allied Forces suffered roughly 10,000 casualties. Thousands more died in the war before Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. "[The defeat of Germany, Japan and Italy] served as a dire warning to dictators throughout the world, that democracy and freedom will be fiercely defended whenever and wherever our precious liberties are threatened," Le Beau added. "It's incumbent upon each of us to make sure that our children and their children know and appreciate the enormous cost paid by thousands of Americans who gave that last full measure of devotion in order to secure the blessings of freedoms we enjoy today as Americans."

First Selectman Peter Tesei said Greenwich was not immune to the casualties of war. He pointed out that Greenwich lost over 160 patriots by the time the war ended.

Tesei recalled the words of President Ronald Reagan, who addressed D-Day veterans in Normandy 35 years ago on the 40th anniversary of the invasion.

"What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation, and risked your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all of the men of the armies that met here? We

look at you, and somehow we know the answer" Tesei said, quoting Reagan. "It was faith and belief, and It was loyalty and love. The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right. Faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next. It was the deep knowledge, and pray to God we have not lost it, that there is a profound world difference in the use of force for liberation, and the use of force for conquest."

William Fullilove, 94, a D-Day survivor and veteran of the Royal British Navy, was the keynote speaker and talked about his service in the 1940’s.

Fullilove, who now lives in Greenwich, was born in South London on Sept. 23, 1924. Like most young British students back then, Fullilove completed his schooling at age 14 in 1938. The next year, Hitler invaded Poland, and Great Britain declared war on Germany.

Too old to be evacuated to the British countryside, and too young to join the military, Fullilove served in what was called the "Home Guard", which was an armed citizen militia that supported the British Army during the war.

When he turned 18, Fullilove joined the Royal Navy, where he would serve for four years.

But they don’t love the experience.

Dr. Fucigna has examined hundreds of them.

Fullilove took part in operations i n I t a l y, b e f o r e e v e n t u a l l y assembling in the English Channel near the Island of Wight to prepare for D-Day. Fullilove then helped shuttle Canadian forces to Juno B e ach, where t he Ca nad ia ns boarded smaller vessels called Rhino Boats, which could access deeper onto the beach.

"We had not experienced any German fire coming from the shore.

Most of the activity we experienced came from the air," Fullilove said,

noting that they made several trips across the English Channel.

Fullilove also helped carry wounded soldiers from Normandy b a c k t o E n g l a n d o n s e ve r a l occasions. He received a standing ovation from the roughly 50 people in attendance after his remarks.

The ceremony also featured the Greenwich Police Department Color Guard, rifle salutes from the Byram Veterans Honor Guard, and the playing of Echo Taps from Greenwich High School students, Chris Fiore and Nathan King.

Greenwich Concours d’Elegance a Triumph

By Liz Leamy The 2019 Annual Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, held Friday, May 31 through June 2 at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park right on Long Island Sound’s tranquil Indian Harbor, was once again a huge runaway hit.

Th is celebrated automobile event, first launched in 1996 and run for many years by the late Bruce Wennerstrom and his wife, Genia, and now overseen by Mary Wennerstrom, Greenwich Concours d’Elegance Chairman and Leif Wennerstrom (the Wennerstrom’s daughter in-law and son), lived up to its extraordinary reputation in every way.

Regarded to be one of the three most celebrated events of its kind to be held in the U.S. (along with those held in Amelia Island, Fla. and Pebble Beach, Ca.), this year’s Concours d’Elegance drew more than 10,000 attendees who came in from all over the U.S. and Canada to view and take pictures of the dozens of breathtaking American and European automobiles

f r om t he p a s t a nd pr e s e nt on display, as well as interact with their designated owners and handlers.

“This is a very special and unique event because it’s a celebration of the automobile in America and all over the world as demonstrated through the interest of people who keep that spirit alive and well,” said Michael Lindgren, who has been involved in the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance for many years. “Automobiles play an extremely large role in our culture and to see the incredible craftsmanship and designs of all of these cars in a [forum] such as this is wonderful.”

Lindg ren credited the huge success and evolution of this event over the years to the commitment of Bruce Wennerstrom, who was involved with this show up until his passing in 2015 and Genia, who passed in 2011, as well as the late Malcolm Pray, the renowned Greenwich car magnate and community benefactor. “ The [Greenw ich Concou rs d’Elegance] grew and evolved under the incredible direction of Bruce

and Genia Wennerstrom, as well as Malcolm Pray, each of who helped make this the huge success it is today,” said Lindgren.

Collectively, the automobiles on display at this event, which also featured beautiful v intage motorcycles, rendered a breathtaking a r tistic showcase that told a compelling narrative about the contemporary 20th century and 2K American and international culture and history, which in itself, made the whole event very special.

Wh ile wa lk ing th roug h the plethora of automobiles, it wasn’t a stretch to see a Cadillac, Lincoln Continental, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, MG and a Ferrari, as well as a current edition of a Maserati, MacLaren and other cars.

“This is one of the major events in the country. All of the cars here are all different, unique and interesting,” said Gerald Letteri of Hartford, whose Marchese Championship Race car, was a big hit with spectators. “It’s all about the enjoyment of cars and

this is a community of people who are very dedicated to that idea and concept.”

One of the best things about this event was watching attendees chat with the owners and others associated with each of the car on display, as they seemed to be as friendly and willing as ever to discuss the history, design and other information associated with their particular automobiles.

“This is a venue that’s great in every way for this type of event,” said Craig L. Burchsted of Austin, Texas, whose original and unrestored 1953 Arnoult-MG ‘Sandy’ was a big attraction among spectators. “It’s beautiful here, everyone is dedicated to their cars and you get to meet a lot of really nice people.”

Burchsted’s automobile was one of only 67 of this type of car to be built and was also used by Stanley Arnoult as his personal car after it had been displayed at the Chicago Auto Show.

Throughout the weekend, there was an auction held by Bonhams for those individuals interested in

purchasing one of the extraordinary cars on its roster, as well as a gala event held at the Delamar Hotel on Saturday night.

At the same time, there were numerous vendors at this show, including the Lincoln Motor Company, Grundy Classic Car Insurance, a collection of talented artists and others.

“This is a great event,” said Josh Grundy, whose family’s car, a stunning 1912 National (that was raced at Indianapolis) won a Best of Show award at this event and whose family company, Grundy Insurance of Bucks County, Pa., was a 2019 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance vendor. “The people here are so friendly, the weather’s been amazing and the cars are incredible. Plus, this venue is awesome with the cars being shown right by the water. It’s really beautiful here.”

In addition to all of the excitement of the cars and other goings-on, there were some industry celebrities on hand at to further add to the

excitement of the atmosphere.

This contingent included Skip Barber, owner and president of the storied Lime Rock track in Lakeville; Wayne Carini, host of the popular cable television show, ‘Chasing Classic Cars’; Roger Colson, an original Ferrari North American Racing Team member; and David Hobbs, television commentator and one of the most decorated car racers of contemporary times.

When all was said and done, the spirit and energy among the entire crowd at this event seemed to be the most special thing of all. “ T h i s [e ve nt] i s a b o u t t h e dedication, respect and passion of those [people] involved with all of these cars and also about what the cars represent and this is why I really enjoy coming here,” said Bob Sekelsky, a renowned classic car restorer and artist based in Cortlandt M a n o r, N .Y. , w h o s e a m a z i n g turquoise and white 1958 Chevrolet Impala won two Best of Show awards at this event. “It’s great to be here.”

How are You Leading Your Life?

By Marek P. Zabriskie I’ve listened too lots and lots of eulogies – hundreds of them. You learn a lot about people and about life when you listen to so many eulogies. You learn what matters, what’s important and what leaves a legacy.

I once attended a funeral for a friend’s father. I allotted one hour in a busy day to attend the service. As I sat down in the church, I saw that each of the five children was going to offer a eulogy. I cringed and thought to myself, “This funeral will take forever. What was the priest thinking when he permitted all five children to speak?”

Well, it turned out to be one of the best funerals that I ever attended. Each of the children focused on one aspect of their father’s life.

1) His professional career 2) His role as father 3) His role as husband 4) His sense of humor 5) His role in the community

I later told my wife that it was like sitting in a class about how to be a great human being. Each child examined one of the facets of their father, like looking at the facets of a diamond. He had led a very good life and the way that he ordered the loves and priorities in his life was wonderful. It made a huge difference to everyone around him.

St. Augustine said that life is all about ordering our loves. He noted that different things have different weights.

If we love things that are heavy – money, jewelry, houses, cars, etc. – they will weigh

you down. If you love things that are light – generosity, friendship, beauty, forgiveness, God, truth, learning, etc. – they will lift you up.

We rise or fall based on what we love, said Augustine. Life is about learning how to order our loves and how to set our priorities.

What are your f ive most important priorities? Have you shared them with your spouse and with your children? Have you told your friends what they are and in what order you rank them?

Is your spouse near the top of your list?

Are you investing in him or her and helping him or her to become the person God has called him or her to be? A new friend of mine in Greenwich told me recently, “I’m in my sixth marriage to my first wife.”

My w ife and I recently toured an astonishingly beautiful rose garden. The woman, who owns and cares for it, is a widow. Her husband died several years ago. As we walked among the roses, Astilbe, Baptista, Veronica, Russian Sage, Lambs Ear and Columbine, she spoke about her late husband. “He had all his

affairs in order,” she said. “He did that for me. He had everything neatly organized.

When I die, you need to do this first, this second and this third.”

What if we had our loves as neatly ordered and organized for the sake of those whom we love? What if our priorities were in all the right places? How would we be remembered? What difference would that make to others now and to others long after we had died?

St. Irenaeus of Lyon was born around 1:30 a.m. and died around the age of 72 years old. He was a Greek bishop noted for guiding and expanding churches in the south of France, defining orthodoxy and combatting heresy. He was said to have heard John the Evangelist, who authored the Gospel of John.

S o, e s s e nt i a l ly, he w a s t he ne x t generation from one of the Apostles of Christ. He was chosen as bishop of Lyon in France. Irenaeus once famously said, “The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”

I love that. That’s my kind of theology. Do you feel fully alive?

A lot of people are stuck. They don’t

A13

mean to be, but they’re stuck, as if the wheels of their car are buried in mud and they keep spinning and they cannot get anywhere.

How do we get unstuck? Our mission in this life is to be fully alive and help others to do the same.

Greenwich is a gold mine of people with good character, bright minds, tremendous education, g reat sophistication and enormous talent. They are what David Brooks calls “weavers,” creating culture, knitting together people, connecting resources and ideas, building connection and community and forming purpose and providing meaning for others.

More and more people are living into their 80s and 90s. They are quietly pouring their money, ideas and talent and their very souls into many causes. They may have retired but they’re active as ever.

They are striving to be fully alive to the very end of their lives. There is so much to admire.

The Rev. Marek P. Zabriskie is the Rector of Christ Church Greenwich.

Reaching Beyond The Church Walls Stanwich Congregational Church in Connecticut and Central Presbyterian Church in New York City are separated by 40 miles, a state line, and denominational affiliation. One is urban, one straddles the line between suburban and urban, with campuses in quiet backcountry Greenwich and growing urban community in the South End of Stamford.

But there is more uniting these two congregations than separates them. They share a vision of a church that reaches b eyond t hei r chu rch bu i ld i ngs, t hat partners with other churches in a global

ASSEMBLIES OF GOD

movement for the Gospel.

“When you read scripture, you see that in the early church, there was a vibrant relationship among churches — they shared finances, teaching, even workers in the Gospel. They encouraged one another’s communities and propelled the gospel far beyond their individual churches,” explains Jason Harris, senior pastor of Central Presbyterian on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

In that spir it of collaboration and connection, Rev. Harris and Rev. Nathan Hart of Stanwich Church will participate in

a pulpit exchange on Sunday, June 23. Each will preach to the other’s congregation on a text from 1 Thessalonians: “For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere …”

“The idea of the gospel sounding forth throughout the region is what is animating our collaboration,” said Nathan Hart, senior pastor of Stanwich Church. “We share a belief that the church doesn’t exist solely for ourselves, but for the good of the world. We share a commitment to going

beyond our walls, to be the kind of church described in 1 Thessalonians.”

In addition to their common vision for the church, there are other ties that bind.

Rev. Harris attended Stanwich Church as a teenager, and his sister still does, recently completing a term on the church’s elder board. Revs. Hart and Harris were classmates at Princeton Theolog ical Seminary and were affiliated with FOCUS (Fellowship of Christians in Universities and Schools).

“And there is a flow of people between our congregations — many of Central

P r e s b y t e r i a n ’s f a m i l i e s m o v i n g t o Connecticut are drawn to Stanwich, as are Stanwich young adults who have moved into the city and worship at Central Presbyterian,” explains Rev. Hart. “We have natural, overlapping relationships and a desire to tell a story: that Jesus is alive and well and on the move in our region.”
