Where Humanity and Achievement Ring True

A

fter each commencement ceremony at Hebron Academy, the graduating class joins together; they grab hold of a strong rope, hand beside hand, and they pull in unison to ring the victory bell. The bell is a sound recognized by everyone in the Hebron community. Throughout the year, athletic teams ring the bell in victory and, just as happens at graduation; there is a moment of admiration, a celebration of achievement and success.

Ringing and responding to the bell is a deeply-felt tradition and source of pride at Hebron— but even more than the bell, it is the rope that embodies our character.

Through joining together on the rope, our achievements are shared with the community. And, through joining together as a community, we return our support to the team. Figuratively, each of us lends a hand in pulling the rope and ringing the bell.

That is the way we live at Hebron. We are a community first and foremost. At Hebron our community honors and respects differences. It is supportive of each individual and cheers for every success: academic, athletic, artistic.

We have no need or place for status, social privilege or entitlement.

Here, pretenses are dropped. Privilege is set aside. People become themselves. And respect is freely given in the most egalitarian of ways.

Hebron is real. Our culture is based on core values of trust, honor, and respect. We set examples for each other in our daily lives. We work together in groups to develop and participate in activities that enrich our community.

We encourage all to achieve beyond their own expectations.

Our ways are inclusive, yet there is no compromise in individual achievement. Working together with respect for the betterment of community does not weaken the resolve to succeed. It strengthens it.

Hebron students know that this community honors and respects each individual as integral to our identity. They are elevated by the encouragement they receive for their successes, and the support that is shown for their struggles.

The Hebron rope is over 200 years “long.” It grows longer today, as it has since the beginning: one community, one contribution, one success, one individual at a time. Join together. Pull the rope. Ring the bell. And in that glorious sound, hear the voices of all who grasp the rope with you today—and of the many that held it before—cheering your endeavors, cheering your success.

Do you know a student who would benefit from a Hebron education? Our Admissions representatives would be happy to tell you more about Hebron today.

Another 2-0

O

ne of the feature articles in this issue is about the middle school’s celebration of its 20th year. While working on the article, I realized that I was celebrating a 20th of my own: this is the 20th issue of the Semester since we revived it in 1999. I keep a set within arm’s reach of my computer (you would be surprised at how often I need to look something up in a back issue), so it was a simple thing to sit back and leaf through the previous 19.

I also have a set of covers in frames in my office. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites with you. (My current favorite is, of course, the issue right in front of you.)

Although I am a firm believer in the power of print, I also understand the convenience of online access, so a couple of years ago I started posting the Semester online. By the time this magazine reaches your mailbox, all 20 of these recent issues will be available at www.issuu. com/hebron_academy. Here’s to 20 more. Thank you for reading.

ebron stories—every one of us has our own.

T

hose Hebron stories, your Hebron stories, have inspired so many of you to make a difference in the world and step up to make a difference for Hebron Academy. One such story has brought an exciting, new grant for up to $1.5 million which Hebron can earn from an important foundation if we can raise $3 million of matching gift pledges to pay down the school’s bond debt within the next two years.

The clear financial mandate for the 21st century is sustainability. Responsible schools nationwide are taking decisive steps to re-engineer their financial futures. They, like Hebron, are: expanding their revenue streams; containing costs; managing enrollment;

increasing endowments, and paying down debt. When Hebron has raised and earned the challenge grant gifts, those funds will allow Hebron to retire 25% of its debt within two years and ensure a solid and sustainable path for the Academy’s future.

In the pages of this Semester you will find our recognition of the many gifts you have given to Hebron in the past year, a remarkable year of response to Hebron’s need for your support.

We are so thankful for your spirit for Hebron and the stories that inspire that spirit. You instill the confidence that Hebron will meet its challenges and thrive in its mission of inspiring Humanity and Achievement in each individual student.

Many thanks.

wish you all could have been at Homecoming this fall to hear the stories that Bob Bryan ’50 and Tim Sample ’69 shared with the students and with the returning alumni. To have one of the patriarchs of Maine humor and the current king of that “You cahn’t get theah from heah” humor telling their stories about Hebron was a rare and special illustration of the spirit and impact of our simple school.

Tim Sample ’69 and Bob Bryan ’50 offer up a lession in “How to Talk Yankee” at Alumni Convocation this fall.

Students find balance through yoga and meditation

D

uring the stressful and busy exam and holiday season, Hebron Academy offered some new ways for students to improve their focus and learn new skills. In December, local yoga teacher Chris Harris began a weekly class for students and faculty in Hebron’s new athletic center.

Bobby Coleman ’12, Sophie Bartolomeo ’11 and Lindsey Hughes ’12 are enjoying Hebron’s new extra-curricular yoga and meditation offerings.

“What’s been exciting is the variety of students taking advantage of this course,” said organizer and faculty member Julie Middleton.

“They come with different ideas and goals—from very academic to strongly athletic—and it works its magic for almost all of them.” With Hebron coaches supporting this kind of cross training, several of Hebron’s varsity athletes took advantage of the extra conditioning yoga offers. Athlete Bobby Coleman ’12 participates for two reasons: “In general, it makes me feel better physically, and more relaxed.

I also notice that there is more clarity when I’m done, which helps with my studying.”

Additionally, language teacher Cynthia Marsden and Lindsey Hughes ’12 have started a weekly

meditation group, which offers students an alternative way of dealing with stress. “We live in a fast-paced environment,” Ms. Marsden said. “I want to teach students techniques they can use to overcome challenging situations wherever they go in life.”

The class started with different relaxation exercises and will go on to specific forms of dealing with stress in any setting.

Both activities are extracurricular and optional, but the themes of balance and teaching practical skills go along with the school’s philosophy of L.I.F.E. (Living In a Friendly Environment). “As long as there is interest, we will gladly support these kinds of activities at Hebron,” said Head of School John King.

Community participates in national spirit day

Students, faculty and staff gathered at the flagpole to show off their purple on national Spirit Day.

A

n online and social justice movement made its way into the hands and hearts of Hebron Academy students, staff and faculty on Wednesday, October 20th. October 18-23rd is “National Ally Week,” recognized by thousands of schools nationwide as a time to stop, reflect and “pledge,” as an ally, to not use antiLGBTQ language and to intervene when safely possible in situations where students are being harassed.

With such values in mind, the addition of “Spirit Day” was easily adopted. At the start of the week, members of Hebron’s Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) collected over 200 pledges from students, faculty and staff. The pledge forms will become part of a display in Sturtevant School Building. Also on Monday, Laura Dow ’11 of Paris, Maine, and Maggie Lane ’11 from Burlington, Massachusetts, announced the concept of Spirit Day to the student body.

Quoting from social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, Laura and Maggie described the day as follows, “In recognition of the recent suicides, Spirit Day encourages people to wear purple as a way to bring awareness to the bullying of LGBTQ individuals and to represent that there is a community of support. We hope you will join us and show your purple at Hebron Academy.”

From the freshmen class through postgraduates, from Middle School faculty to the Housekeeping Department, from football players to the nursing staff, much of the Hebron community was decked out in purple.

“We are fortunate at Hebron Academy to have a welcoming and diverse population where we rarely have to worry about slander, but all of our students know teens who have been bullied at one time or another. We are proud to be in a place where so many students are willing to stand up against it,” explained Julie Middleton, one of the GSA faculty advisors. Cynthia Marsden, Language faculty member

added, “Seeing all these students, and especially the older boys wearing purple with pride, made me feel that Hebron is a safe place and that there is hope.” Hebron celebrated the remainder of Ally Week with student testimonials read at school meeting, with rainbow cupcakes in the dining hall and by a trip to Johnson Hall’s production of The Laramie Project in Gardiner, Maine.

Students shine in academics and music

Musicians honored

Commended student named H

Once again, two dedicated Hebron Academy student musicians were chosen as members of the select University of Southern Maine Youth Ensembles for the 2010–2011 school year.

Dong Hee Lee ’12, from Seoul, Korea, plays violin in the Portland Youth Symphony Orchestra. The PYSO includes more than 70 musicians from age 11 to 18. Formed 70 years ago and now under the direction of USM Professor Robert Lehmann, the ensemble has grown into a pre-professional program of high caliber performing diverse orchestral literature.

Rob MacLellan, a senior from Hebron, earned the distinct honor of playing first chair euphonium this year for the Portland Youth Wind Ensemble (PYWE). As a principal chair musician, he is also a member of PYSO. USM Professor Peter Martin conducts the group whose purpose is to refine concert techniques through sophisticated repertoire of wind and band literature.

Dong Hee and Rob travel to USM’s Gorham campus each week to rehearse with their respective ensembles. Congratulations to both young men! Both are members of Hebron Academy’s Orchestra, under the direction of John Lawson.

ead of School John King is pleased to announce that Polly Drown of Leeds has been named a Commended Student in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Polly, a senior, will receive a Letter of Commendation from Hebron and from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program. As a Commended

Student, Polly placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who took the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

This year Polly is maintaining a full academic course load of four Advanced Placement (AP) courses, including AP Calculus BC and AP Studio Art, and fifth-year French.

She is a student proctor, a position awarded to students who demonstrate leadership, communication skills, and the ability to work well with their peers.

Polly was captain of the field hockey team this fall, and plays the violin in the school’s orchestra. She is a member of the Hebeegeebees and has performed in the all-school musical productions each year. She plans to apply for early decision admission to Columbia University.

Since 2005, seven Hebron Academy students have been named Commended Students by the National Merit Scholarship Program.

Seven earn AP Scholar designation S

even students from Hebron Academy earned the designation of AP Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program (AP) Exam.

The AP Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exam.

Three students earned the distinction of AP Scholar with Honor by achieving a score of 3 or higher at least four AP exams.

Hebron Cup winner Emma Leavitt was a student proctor and member of Green Key and the Cum Laude Society. A three-sport athlete, Emma was class secretary and performed in the all-school musical productions each year. She is attending Tufts University. Corey O’Brien

captained the football team and played hockey and lacrosse. He was president of his sophomore class, and is enrolled at Babson College. Now at Bowdoin College, senior class president Emily Powers was a proctor, captain of the girls’ basketball team and participated in the orchestra and theater productions. She was a member of Cum Laude and co-editor of the student newspaper.

Five additional members of the Class of 2010 qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP exams with scores of 3 or higher.

Nine join faculty

Personal stories bring Veterans Day home

O

n Wednesday, November 10, the school community gathered to commemorate Veterans Day at a presentation organized by history teacher and college counselor Mike Jones.

Hebron Academy welcomed nine new faculty members this year, including (from left) Tim Bonis, Emily Bonis, Patrick Shairs, Colin Griggs, Louise Roy ’05, Casey Ftorek, Kurt Swanbeck, Jennifer Lonergan, and Austin Stonebraker ’97.

Emily and Tim Bonis come to Hebron with their two daughters, dogs, and nine years of experience at South Kent School in Connecticut. Mr. Bonis graduated from the University of Southern Maine, teaches history and coaches boys’ soccer.

A graduate of Portland State University in Oregon, Ms. Bonis teaches mathematics.

Casey Ftorek graduated from Middlebury College and earned his master’s in education at Franklin Pierce University while coaching and teaching at Brewster Academy and in public schools. A two-sport athlete in college, he is teaching history and coaches boys’ soccer and hockey.

Colin Griggs graduated from Franklin and Marshall College and worked in the athletic department there before teaching at Indian Mountain School and Marianapolis Prep.

He is teaching Spanish and English as Second Language, and coaches the girls’ varsity soccer and basketball teams.

Jennifer Lonergan comes to Hebron with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in art and art education from the University of New Hampshire. An

accomplished artist, she teaches photography and drawing, and advises the Outdoor Skills program.

After four years at Bridgton Academy, Patrick Shairs joins Hebron as a math teacher, technology assistant and football and lacrosse coach. He graduated from the University at Albany, New York.

Louise Roy ’05, returns to Hebron as science teacher, admissions associate, and soccer and hockey coach after graduating from Hamilton College.

Austin Stonebraker ’97 follows up his winter and spring term teaching last year to join the science department. He coaches the JV boys’ soccer team and the alpine skiing team. He graduated from Colby College and earned a master’s degree from the University of New Hampshire.

Kurt Swanbeck arrives on campus with his wife and sons from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He works in the Admissions Office and coaches the boys’ varsity soccer team.

Mr. Swanbeck holds BA and MEd degrees from Columbia University.

Mr. Jones, science teacher Gino Valeriani and buildings and grounds director Mike Hughes spoke of their personal experiences associated with the armed services: Mr. Jones and Mr. Valeriani each as the sons of World War II soldiers, and Mr. Hughes as a 24+ year serviceman whose most recent detail included preparing soldiers for duty in Iraq. Mr. Valeriani also spoke as the father of Peary Valeriani ‘07, an Army MP currently stationed in Iraq.

While each man spoke, photographs from their own family albums circulated on a screen behind them, displaying images of World War II and the Iraq War. Mr. Jones’ focused on the history of Veterans Day, which evolved from Armistice Day— instituted in 1920 as a day of remembrance following the “war to end all wars.” Mr. Jones also emphasized the fact that veterans are everyday people, men and women of every diverse American subset.

Encouraging all present to listen to veterans’ stories, Mr. Valeriani related his father’s vivid memories of rescue missions while stationed in Greenland. Mr. Valeriani’s father is a first generation American who spent part of his youth growing up with family in Italy, and fought, conceivably,

against his former countrymen.

Then, at the request of his son, Peary, Mr. Valeriani shared “what it is really like to be a soldier.”

Mr. Hughes expressed the work ethic instilled in veterans.

Using maintenance department members Tim Scammon and Ron Brooks, both Vietnam veterans, as examples, he said, “Veterans have in common a desire to exceed; there is always a sense that he or she can do more. This is a value instilled in American servicemen and women.”

The community then saw a slideshow of American war time images from the past century followed by a brief film showing the exemplary spirit and resilience of Brandon Marrocco, four limb amputee and Iraq veteran.

The presentation concluded with all assembled singing the national anthem, led by the Hebegeebees.

n celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Hebron Academy community gathered to hear alumnus Hon. Samuel Stafford ’68 speak about his time as one of the only students of color at Hebron in the 1960s.

differences.” That those differences were used to hurt “those that I thought were united... taught me a valuable lesson, that we are one, and the human race is one.”

Mr. Stafford told students that it was “not a coincidence that I came to Hebron, that [the experience I had] helped to shape what I do now, and what I hope you will do, that you will be of service to humankind, no matter where you end up.” He described the events of 1964–1968 as “bookends of my life: in 1964, Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and in 1968, a few months before my graduation, he was assassinated.”

What he gained most, he said, was “the most beneficial ability to exist in two worlds— the majority world which, before I came here, I was unaware of

because of segregation, and my world.” The worldwide events of his four years at Hebron helped to shape who he is today, and he urged his audience to remember the great tragedy of their lives, the events of September 11, 2001. “Out of this tragedy should come strength and commitment.”

Asked for his impressions of what remains the same about Hebron, and what has changed, Rs. Stafford noted that while the faculty personnel and the physical plant have changed, the lessons of the academy remain the same.

“What Hebron gave to me, and gives to you all continues to be individual excellence, personal responsibility and integrity, and a supportive service-oriented community life. These are qualities that you should take with you long after you leave Hebron.”

we are one, and the human race is one

Sam Stafford ’68 (standing, center) and the staff of The Asp, a literary magazine.

While at Hebron, Mr. Stafford participated in many organizations, from Astronomy Club to Glee Club, and played soccer, basketball and tennis. At Commencement he received the Tate Award which honors marked qualities of courtesy and humanity.

Judge Stafford described his arrival at the academy in 1964 as a young freshman from Florida as “quite a feat. Imagine how young I was, [arriving from] an atmosphere on the tail end of the imposition of Jim Crow laws and customs.” Educated in a log cabin elementary school, using left-over books, Stafford said that there was “little resentment about this, but there was a great zeal and drive instilled in you by your parents, teachers and the segregated community to be successful” through hard work.

Mr. Stafford’s hard work eventually took him to Florida State University, where he majored in comparative religions and the classics, with the intent of becoming a theologian. He later attended Duke University Law School, and was selected in 1998 to join the Florida Eighth District Court as a circuit judge.

Today, in addition to his judicial duties, Mr. Stafford serves as a lecturer in the political science department at the University of Florida, Gainesville, and teaches at the University of Florida Levin School of Law. “I wanted to be a theologian so that I could—given my training and the ability to communicate—positively affect the greatest number of people. I had learned here at Hebron, that we are the same, that mankind, humankind, is one. [As a student at Hebron,] I learned that the differences among people are largely external, that white people were not monolithic, that they themselves created At the program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Head of School John King, speaker Sam Stafford ’68, Cristian Gumbs ’11, A’Nyce Munroe ’13 and John Slattery ’04.

he mission of athletics in an independent school is to foster physical well-being and the value of teamwork; to encourage personal growth through the pursuit of excellence in sport; and to teach universal lessons of dedication, commitment, and fair play.

Arthur Cooper ’49 Arthur Cooper’s two years at Hebron Academy were the beginning of a long and productive athletic career.

“Coop” was a starter for football, basketball and baseball for two years and, as quarterback and forward, he became the leading scorer for both teams in his senior year. At Commencement, Art received the Reed Award which is given to a senior “in recognition of fine spirit, improvement in skill, devotion to athletic teams, and an unselfish determination to contribute to Hebron’s athletic success.”

At Colgate University, Art turned his skills to track and field, earning nine letters in indoor and outdoor track and winning medals at the Millrose Games,

Knights of Columbus Races and the prestigious Penn Relays.

“Coop” was undefeated in both the 220- and 440-yard sprints in his junior and senior years and he captained the Colgate track team in his final season. As at Hebron, Art was recognized at Colgate for his unselfish dedication to sport as recipient of the President’s Cup, an award give to “that senior whose character, scholarship and sportsmanship best exemplify the spirit that is Colgate.”

“Coop” continued his life-long love of track and field during his professional teaching career at North Carolina State University where he became the official starter for NC State track teams, the University’s representative to the Atlantic Coast

Athletic Association’s Management Council.

Classmate Bob Rich said, “Art may have felt he was an underachiever when he first arrived at Hebron in the fall of 1947, but his accomplishments in the world of competitive athletics, academics, and athletic conference management are clearly noteworthy achievements.”

With pride and pleasure, Hebron Academy honors Arthur Wells Cooper, Class of 1949, with induction into the Hall of Fame.

Robert J. O’Connor ’55 Following in the strides of Hebron hockey legend Eddie Jeremiah, Robert J. O’Connor, Class of 1955, has been “Coach” to generations of hockey players.

Learning the game in Rhode Island and at Hebron, Bob played under Coach Ladd MacMillan for one of Hebron’s many stand-out teams. The 1955 Big Green hockey team compiled a 14–1–1 record, defeating strong teams from Exeter and Andover and outscoring its opponents 95–14, with a gritty line of O’Connor, Waterman and Holland contributing greatly to its success.

Bob continued his competitive career close to home with the Providence College Friars before

leaving New England for Minnesota and lifetime contributions to the sport. “OC,” as Bob is known by his many friends, coached aspiring collegiate players at Hamline University and scholastic skaters at Edina High School for more than two decades as well as volunteering as coach of Minnesota Squirt, Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget level teams. Later still, Bob became associated with the United States National Team and he has coached elite women players in national and pre-Olympic tournament play. Bob also coached our country’s men’s team at the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo, and he has helped to coach a number of US Select U16 Teams, US National Junior teams competing at the World Junior

Championships and, more recently, the US National Under-20 Paralympics Team.

Recipient of the William Thayer Tutt Award from USA Hockey and the John “Snooks” Kelley Founders Award from the American Hockey Coaches Association, Bob has also been honored by USA Hockey with the “Bob O’Connor International Resource Center” at its national headquarters in Colorado Springs, a first-rate educational center that includes an extensive collection of ice hockey coaching resources made possible in large part by Bob’s generous donations. Consummate coach and gentleman, OC is remembered and honored by countless players who echo the words of 2010 U.S. Olympic Team coach Brian Burke who said, “Bob O’Connor encouraged me and gave me a chance. He is a wonderful man, and I will forever be grateful to him.”

Hebron Academy is honored to induct Robert J. O’Connor, Class of 1955, to the Hall of Fame.

Alan A. Switzer, Jr. coach 1955–1962 “In the Lakes Region of New Hampshire every summer, hundreds of kids learn how to swim at the Sandwich Area

Aquatics School near Squam Lake. The school doesn’t advertise and its location is well off the beaten path, but the classes have been full for decades.” And so begins a New Hampshire Public Radio piece from this past August about Al Switzer and the swim school he runs from his backyard pool.

Al has devoted more than five decades to teaching and coaching swimming at all ages and levels. During his time at Hebron from 1955–1962, Al’s teams enjoyed winning seasons and success in Maine and at the New England prep level. The 1959 Hebron yearbook supports this, stating that “every year since Mr. Switzer took command of the swimming program, not only has the varsity team become progressively better, but also nearly every pool record on the board has been changed by Hebron swimmers at least once.”

Al continued his coaching career at the collegiate level for 19 years at the University of Maine at Orono where he compiled an overall record of 139–61, a record which included two New England Division I championships and a number of other successes.

Currently in his twentieth year at Plymouth State College, Al’s teams have experienced similar success and they have had consistently strong showings at the annual New England Championship meets. Certainly, the individual attention and encouragement Al has given to each one of the swimmers with whom he has worked has made a difference.

Al once said, “It has been a privilege to be able to touch the lives of so many young men and women in the coaching profession,” and it seems that all of those swimmers—from the timid 3-year olds in his backyard pool to those of college age—have

12 • Hebron Academy Semester • Fall–Winter 2010–2011

been equally privileged to be able to call Al “coach.”

Inducted into the University of Maine Hall of Fame in 2001, we are pleased to welcome Al into Hebron Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame today.

Tracy Harlor ’85 As you have heard already today, Hebron Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame honors the accomplishments of past Hebron athletes whose superior performance in the field of athletics, outstanding cooperation, leadership and fair play at school and in their lives have committed them to our memory. Some are remembered for tremendous individual accomplishments, others for outstanding leadership and others still for lifelong achievement and dedication to sport. Tracy Harlor, inductee this year, is remembered for a moment in time, for her individual courage and for leading where none had gone before.

A two-year student at Hebron, Tracy competed with the field hockey, basketball, hockey and softball teams. Her teams won no championships, and her individual accomplishments for assists, points, goals or runs scored are not recorded.

She would go on from Hebron to captain the women’s hockey team at Skidmore, to organize

and coach a first women’s hockey team at Portsmouth Abbey School and later still to coach a growing program at St. George’s School. As one Hebron faculty member recalled, “Tracy was one of those students who always got the job done.”

Her life sadly cut short, Tracy is remembered by the Class of 1985 for her outstanding good spirit, for her commitment to sport and for her life-long passion for ice hockey. In her senior year, Tracy Harlor made the boys’ varsity hockey team at Hebron, played 17 games for Coach Nat Harris, and set an example of spirit and passion for the young women who would follow more than a decade later to inaugurate a girls’ ice hockey program at Hebron.

Today, we may only speculate on what Tracy might have accomplished in the sport, but we may also call forth in our mind’s eye the blur of a young skater, stick in hand, flying on the wing, alive with the spirit of sport and the joy of the moment.

For that moment in time, for the courage to lead and to show the way for women, we are honored to induct Tracy Harlor, Class of 1985, posthumously, to Hebron Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Fall athletics roundup H ebron teams enjoyed a productive fall season and some good success. Each of our teams continued to be competitive both with fellow maisad schools and with our other prep school opponents. The boys’ and girls’ varsity soccer teams and the varsity field hockey team all advanced to the maisad championship finals, though each team would fall in closely contested games.

The girls’ JV soccer team, however, had better success. After a close 3–2 win over Hyde in the maisad semifinal game, the team added a convincing 4–1 win against host Kents Hill to earn their first maisad championship in several years. The surprise success story of the fall goes to the thirds soccer team, which finished the season with an impressive overall record of 6–3–1.

Hebron’s scores are listed first.

Golf team repeats title C

ompeting in severe cold and wind at the Bethel Inn Golf Course, Hebron’s varsity golfers posted very competitive rounds to capture a second consecutive MAISAD championship. Overall, Hebron players took four of the first six places in the event to post a winning score of 13 place points. Bridgton was second at 34, and Gould followed with 36. Kents Hill was fourth at 55, and North Yarmouth Academy had 57.

Wearing mittens with handwarmers between their shots, the Lumberjack golfers battled the elements as much as the course and their competitors. Each of the Hebron players won in their group play.

Adam Devine ’11, playing the number one position, shot a wonderful 4 over par 76 to win the individual championship. Connor McCarthy ’11, Hebron’s #4 man, posted 79 to win “runner-up” honors. Following were Ben Sauro ’11 in a tie for fourth at 81 and Sam Kinasewich ’13, tied for sixth at 85.

This win in the Stroke Play Championship for the MAISAD league capped a splendid season in which the golfers were undefeated in match play and posted a decisive win over all the league competitors in the final stroke play event.

e thought it would be fun to catch up with some of the original students from the middle school’s first year to see what they were up to now.

n 1991, Hebron Academy’s Board of Trustees decided to open a middle school on the Hebron campus, as a way to increase the offerings available to local families and to act as a feeder program for the upper school. That fall, 18 seventh and eighth graders were the first students at Hebron Academy’s new middle school. This year, the middle school is celebrating its 20th year in a variety of ways: from an integrated curriculum unit focused on the number 20, to creating a timeline featuring people and events from the past 20 years, to special field trips and activities.

The first director, Leslie Guenther, came from St. Ann’s School in Brooklyn, a K-12 city school. At the time, most of St. Ann’s was housed in a 13-story building with about six classrooms per floor, a small gym on the 10th floor and a basketball court on the 12th. Physical education was held in a nearby park. St. Ann’s is committed

to excellence and to education for its own sake, a philosophy that translated well to Hebron’s nascent middle school.

From its earliest days, Hebron’s program centered on sound principles of middle school education: a challenging and exploratory curriculum, varied teaching styles, flexibility and comprehensive support.

A data center manager in Tampa, Florida, James doesn’t win the “furthest away” award, but his career path may be the longest. He pulled wire for gas pumps during his Hebron summers.

After leaving Montana State he worked at Walt Disney World, “doing a little bit of everything,” including stilt walking.

He ran sound and drove for a band, got into web hosting, became a backbone engineer, and will soon co-own a data center. “Hebron’s great teachers showed me that I could make it if I wanted to, he said.”

Chris (Bournakel) Bournakis ’96 Although Chris transferred to Lewiston High School in his junior year, he has fond memories of the middle school and stays in close touch with Matt Katz. Chris attended the Pratt Institute in New York City, a big change, but “a great experience to focus on what I enjoyed the most, my art.” After graduating from Pratt in 2000, he landed at Bates College as a graphic designer; he now does web design and multimedia work for the college. Chris has stayed in touch with Forest Perkins over the years, visiting him often, and remembers Gordon Gillies’s readings in his English classes. “It’s been an exciting and interesting path.”

Alex Gillies ’96 Alex has put on many miles since her middle school days, with a bachelor’s degree from Emory University, a master’s from the University of Ghana (Africa) and a PhD from the University of Cambridge (England). In 2008 she was a Fulbright Fellow in Nigeria. She is stateside now, living in Brooklyn, New York (where she literally ran into fellow Hebronian Janna Rearick ’98 one day), and working at the non-profit Revenue Watch Institute as an expert in management of oil, gas and mineral resources.

She says she still plays basketball occasionally and loves to visit Maine, especially to fish with her favorite middle school teacher—her father!

Matt Katz ’96 A “weird diversity” is how Matt Katz describes his work at Alfred University, where he teaches art classes and works in ceramic science research. “A ceramic scientist is a very specific type of chemist,” he said. “Moose would be proud.” Matt has a BFA from Alfred and an MFA from the University of Colorado. He also owns a small company that makes scientfically designed clay for artists (mattanddavesclays.com). He has strong memories of classes with Ms. G and Mr. Gillies, and “Mr. Veayo getting exceptionally excited about Latin.”

At Hebron he reconnected with his preschool friend Chris Bournakis, who was later in his wedding party and is a close friend today.

Nick Bournakel ’97 After Hebron, Nick majored in philosophy at Bates. He is currently working as a business consultant for a renewable energy consulting firm in Portland. “As far as special memories,” he said, “There were a great many fun outdoor excursions to Hall Pond, Streaked Mountain, Hermit Island, as well as the memorable eighth grade trip to New York City. It was an amazing time with such a small class with which I formed some friendships that have lasted to this day.”

Fall 2010. Front row: Tehya Johnson ‘17, Jack Morton ’17, Mason Henley ’17, Emily Hemmings ’17, Elizabeth Everett ’15 and Bridgid Mulvihill ’16. Second row: Katie Schools ’15, Austin Smith ’15, Field Peterson ’15, Jack Bayley ’15, JD Hodsdon ’16, Riley Hemmings ’16, Olivia Berger ’16, Rachel Jurek ’15, Emily Thompson ’17, Alana Chipman and Sarah Brouwer ’15. Back rows: Nathaniel Bennett ’16, Eli Ross ’15, Owen Richmond ’16, Chase Harkins ’16, Walter Rasmussen ’15, Eliot List ’15, Nick Johnson ’15, Coulton Williams ’15, Sabrina Maamouri-Cortez ’15, Arianna Pinkham ’15, Elizabeth Pratt ’15, Izzy Layman ’16 and Caitlyn Shelley ’15.

During the first year, students learned canoeing skills in the pool before tackling Marshall Pond, went dog sledding in the Bowl, had an exhibit of their own artwork, presented their research at the spring science fair, created a literary magazine and finished off the year with an overnight camping trip at Hermit Island.

Location, location, location

Although Leslie Guenther—“Ms. G” to the students—loved working at St. Ann’s, her favorite thing about Hebron from the very beginning was the location.

“We can give our students certain freedoms because we know we live in such a safe environment,” she said. “How great

Eighth grader Nick Johnson is almost astonished at the amount of freedom they have: “We would never have been allowed to go anywhere without a teacher at my old school,” he said.

“And there are no rules!” chimed in classmate Arianna Pinkham. “Well, almost no rules. The teachers rely on our common sense.”

Nick’s interest in all things outdoors took him to Unity College, where he studied fishery science. The trip to New York stands out for him when he thinks back to middle school. He is also grateful for his time at Hebron: “It was very different from the cinder block junior high experience that my friends had,” he said. “It was very institutional for them; we were given a lot of freedom to make decisions about our time.”

Nick now caters to other outdoorsy folks as the food service manager at Shawnee Peak in Bridgton. In the summer he works at Kettle Cove Marina on Sebago Lake, a job that normally goes dormant in the winter, but this year’s repeated snowfall and cold temperatures meant he was traveling between the two, monitoring snow on stored boats.

His busy schedule made him the hardest member of the “pioneer middlers” group to reach, and he’s one of the closest to Hebron.

Britt D’Augustine Broady ’97 Along with Austin and Alex, Britt was featured in “Levels of the Game,” an article about college athletes in the May 2000 issue of the Semester. At the time, she was playing for Dartmouth and couldn’t imagine “field hockey not being in my life.” Fast forward to 2011— Britt and her husband are headed to Durham, North Carolina, where Britt will be assistant field hockey coach at Duke, leaving an assistant coach position at the University of Louisville. She began her coaching career at American University.

Always competitive, she remembers snow football as a favorite activity while at middle school, and an ice breaking activity that involved finding your “barnyard animal” partner using only that animal’s noise. “I forget if Remy and I were pigs or cows, but it was hysterical oinking/mooing across the field to find one another. We were both so competitive that we were the loudest in the group and won the game.”

Remy Maguire ’97 A resident of (the other) Portland, Remy is a personal trainer, lifestyle and weight management consultant, writer and speaker. She graduated from the University of the South where she also met her husband. “My middle school years were a real phenom!” she recalled. “There were so few of us— and all going through one of the largest growth spurts of our lives! What I remember most is how cared for I felt by our teachers. They each pushed us just enough; it felt like they wanted us to truly be ourselves and our best selves.”

Arica Powers Monahan ’97 A “faculty brat” (her mother was a school nurse) Arica went to the University of Southern Maine and earned a BA in nursing. She worked at Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway before joining Hebron’s health center staff in 2007. That same year she got married, had her first child, and moved into a new house— ”that was a busy year…makes me tired just thinking of it!” she said. “My ties to both the town of Hebron and Hebron Academy go back as far as I can remember. I hope that my two little ones will graduate from Hebron someday... classes of 2026 and 2028! I loved my experience as a middle schooler here at Hebron. Small class sizes with amazing teachers really helped me to bloom academically.”

Austin Stonebraker ’97 Austin, who grew up on the Hebron campus, graduated from Colby with a BA in biology. He went out west to do river surveys on tributaries of major watersheds for the EPA. He returned to Maine to do autoimmune research on Type I diabetes at Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor. The natural sciences called, however, and Austin went to graduate school, earning an MS in water resources from the University of New Hampshire. He came back to Hebron to teach environmental science, coach soccer and skiing and live

Tying it all together

Almost every year the middle school faculty have put together an integrated curriculum unit, on topics that range from highly abstract—“Boundaries” and “Wisdom, Truth and Right”—to tightly defined: “Greek and Roman Life” and “Mountains and Valleys.” The theme is covered in the regular subjects and with special activities and field trips. A unit called “Arundel Days,” based on the Kenneth Roberts novel Arundel, included a campus overnight during which a group of students “stormed the Citadel” (School Building) which was being defended by another group (the British).

This year the theme unit “20” reflected the 20th year celebration. Science teacher (and middle school alumna) Louise Roy ’05

In addition to incorporating “20” into their classes, teachers also offered special activities and field trips. The whole school went to Paris Hill to see the Bahre Collection—more than 70 (20th century) mostly one-of-a-kind cars collected by local businessman Bob Bahre (father of Gary Bahre ’81). The students also learned 1920sera dances at Debi Irons’s dance studio in Norway, which they performed for their parents at the unit grand finale.

Flight correction

Bob grew up on Long Island, New York.

He attended Green Vale School in Old Brookville, graduated from the Hotchkiss School in 1949, and was headed, he thought, straight for Yale. He took a postgraduate detour through Hebron, however, perhaps because he had put more effort into athletics than academics while at Hotchkiss.

“Athletics had been very important to me at Hotchkiss,” he said. “Perhaps too important because I didn’t study and do the work assigned to me. Barney Williams made it clear to me that if I didn’t do [my work] I’d be away from Hebron on the next bus.”

At first, the idea of a postgraduate year at Hebron was not a welcome one. “It was difficult to stop in at Yale on the way [to Hebron] to see the names of so many of my friends whom I expected to be matriculating with,” he said. “It was a long trip and I found it kind of dreary when I arrived on campus. The first thing that happened, I’ll never forget, was the headmaster, Claude, in his white coat. ‘You must be Bob Bryan,’ he said as we opened the door. And then there was light. That was it. Instantly I had a good feeling about the school.”

In 1979, Bob played in the alumni hockey game with Kirby Nadeau ’77 and Henry Harding ’70. “That was the game where Kirby really nailed me,” he recalled. “I don’t think I’ve played hockey in a uniform since.”

At Hebron he made lifelong friends— Ranny Galt, Dick Fowler and Jack Pierce— and learned the personal discipline necessary to succeed academically. “I remember meeting my roommate. His name was Randolph Carter Galt, Ranny Galt, from Honolulu. We became great pals immediately and [were] four years together at Yale as roommates.” Bob was a member of the cross country, hockey and track teams and was chosen chairman of Green Key, with Dick Fowler as vice chairman and Jack Pierce as secretary (Jack Pierce would later serve on QLF’s board, as would Peter Crisp ’51). At Commencement, he received the Hebron Cup, the Academy’s highest honor, awarded to a senior who represents a fine spirit of scholastic effort, excellence in athletic competition and devotion, high ideals, friendliness, endeavor and responsibility in personal relations with the school.

Yale beckons

Bob finally made it to Yale in the fall of 1950, where he fell quickly and easily into college life, and where he met the men who would set his future in motion: the college chaplain, Reverend Sidney Lovett; his college master John Schroeder; Charles “Kelly” Clark, later Rector of St. Paul’s School; and Marshall Dodge, with whom he became known as Bert of “Bert and I.”

Bob was a frequent visitor to campus, recruiting volunteers for QLF and as a member of Hebron’s board of trustees from 1972 to 1978. He spoke at Awards Night in 1973.

24 • Hebron Academy Semester • Fall–Winter 2010–2011

“I started out as a geology major,” Bob said. “Then I changed over to history and became involved with groups that had to do with the chapel. It all grew from those days.

In my senior year I helped a dear friend, Kelly Clark, with the church Sunday school for faculty children and that pushed me over the top. I went on and did three years at Yale Divinity School.”

Although college and church work kept him busy, Bob still found time to explore two other passions in his life: flying and story­telling. He and his Yale friend Marshall Dodge shared a keen ear for dialect and a dry sense of humor. As the characters of “Bert and I” they produced a recording of Maine stories, given first to friends and family. Eventually they recorded a commercial version of their stories, which became exceedingly popular and led to more recordings. Meanwhile, Bob was taking formal flying lessons, building on his early experiences as a young boy.

“I had a brother-in-law who worked for a shipping company and he learned to fly a seaplane,” Bob said. “They lived two miles from where I was born and I learned how to fly a seaplane with him. But [formal instruction] and soloing occurred in 1956.

In fact, that’s how I signed up to work on the Quebec North Shore and Labrador. I expected with pilot training that I could be useful. I talked with the archbishop, Philip Carrington, of Quebec, and he jumped on it immediately. He said, ‘We’ve never had that happen before, but I’d like to see it develop.’

So I was able to be the first clergyperson to fly an airplane in that area.”

The call of the north

Bob graduated from Yale Divinity School in 1957 and was ordained a priest in 1958. In 1959 he made his first flight to the North Shore, filling in for a vacationing priest, and by 1960 the Anglican Church of Canada had assigned him to the area. His territory ranged from Baie Comeau to Blanc Sablon on the Coast, inland to Schefferville and all the way to the northern tip of Labrador.

“I flew with my wife, Faith. We went to about 100 miles east of Sept-Iles, so we didn’t really get into Labrador that year,” Bob said.

“In 1960 I certainly did. And that’s when I had this impression of vastness and the total beauty of rivers with steep gradients and waterfalls and rapids rushing down into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, one after the other, as I flew along the coast. You have to pay attention when you’re flying the airplane—you can’t just look out—that was the problem I had, just trying to stay on the ball, rather than sightsee!”

W

ho can forget the unusual sight of a small yellow airplane with amphibious floats flying at low altitude over the quiet Hebron Academy campus in the late 1960s? The plane’s pilot was Bob Bryan, who landed on Marshall Pond and visited his alma mater to talk about the QuebecLabrador Foundation.

In 1972, I applied for a summer position at QLF, was accepted and joined two other veterans—Beth Bacon (Bob’s niece) and Sylvia Dickey—as a sailing instructor in Kegaska, Quebec, a town of approximately 125 residents on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. QLF had secured the donation of a number of 9-foot Dyer Dhow sailing dinghies which were placed in the isolated towns of Kegaska, Harrington Harbour and St. Augustine. There were no roads to these villages. Visitors arrived either by seaplane or weekly coastal freighter. Despite summer fog and sea water temperatures in the high 40s my students learned water survival, beginning sailing and racing skills. The highlight of the summer was taking my young sailors down the coast on the Fort Mingan freighter to the town of Harrington Harbour. This was likely the first lengthy

He used the royalties from sales of “Bert and I” recordings to buy a bright yellow Helio; that plane and its successors would become famous on the North Shore. The seaplane made it easier for him to be a presence on the Coast—clergy before him had traveled more slowly by boat or dog sled— and as he began visiting the isolated villages of his new flock, he saw ways in which he could improve the hardscrabble lives of the families who settled in such distant places.

He was interested in the development of youth and remembered his own childhood summers spent at day camps, playing sports and learning to swim. Here the village children—too young to help their fathers and uncles on the codfish traps—played games of their own invention in the dirt paths around their homes.

Basing his plans on the Grenfell Mission, first organized in the late 1800s to bring medical care to Labrador and Newfoundland,

Bob used their volunteer model to recruit helpers from schools and colleges. “I first started organizing young people through community service day camps in the summer which were very popular and worked very well because the persons that I was able to recruit were the best. They came from schools and universities all over the United States and Canada, and from England as well.

We plunked them down in these isolated villages—bear in mind there were no roads between the villages, so you’d have a village then 20 miles and another village and 30 miles another village and 10 and another— and that’s how the Quebec-Labrador Foundation developed.”

town built a boarding barracks for the Maritime Training School where the boys lived and received meals for the sessions in June, July and August. I was the MTS Director and handled other outdoor leadership programs, including the Robertson Lake Canoe Camp (inshore from La Tabatiere, Quebec), and I started the Maine Allagash Canoeing Program for northern rural town Maine boys.

I think that my contribution to these programs and adolescents did as much for me as it did for them. After nearly six full years in the North and at QLF’s Ipswich office, numerous outdoor adventures across northern Maine and Atlantic Canada and many hours flying with Bob, I gained life skills and appreciation that became the fabric of my life and career outside of QLF (where I remain on their Advisory Board). Bob Bryan not only affected the lives of his service community but also the hundreds (thousands?) of staff and volunteers who worked in the past and still work for QLF, in Atlantic Canada and at many service sites around the world.

ne February winter day in 1975, while I was in graduate school, Bob unexpectedly called to ask if I would join his full time Ipswich office staff as Outdoor Leadership Director. He wanted me to start a maritime training school the following summer in Harrington Harbour. Bob had secured the donation of a 42-foot sailing sloop, located in the Chesapeake Bay which I sailed in May to York Harbor, Maine, and a new crew sailed around Nova Scotia into the Gulf of St Lawrence to the island town of Harrington Harbour for the start of the program in June.

Sailing Vessel (SV) Syriene joined the 50' MV Brest, a local fishing boat named after the French coastal town, as the primary vessels on which young boys from the Quebec Labrador coast learned navigation, piloting and seamanship skills. The Dyer Dhows still provided small boat sailing skills and their capsize practice in 40 degree waters were a highlight for the town residents, who had too many stories of family drowning to tell. The

Well begun

By 1961, the Quebec-Labrador Foundation was on its way, and Bob spent a fair amount of time during the winter traveling to various schools to recruit volunteers. A few young

returning to St. Paul’s River to work in the community.

“I got involved with politics and I was pretty involved with the town,” he said.

“That’s the type of thing that Bob tries to encourage.” Kirby and his wife moved on a few years ago, and Kirby now teaches and coaches at Bishops College School in Lennoxville, not far from Bob’s Quebec home.

Stewardship

Hebronians answered the call, among them Daniel Lyman ’69, Jonathan Weisner ’69 and Henry Harding ’70. Dan and Jon both wrote articles for the Hebronian about their summer experiences in Goose Bay and Mutton Bay, respectively. Like Henry (see box, page 25), they discovered that they got as much out of it as their young charges did. In fact, Jon is still involved with non-profit organizations today and his son spent the summer of 2008 as a QLF volunteer in St. Paul’s River.

A generation before Spencer Weisner’s volunteer summer, St. Paul’s River was home to the Nadeau families, who would benefit from Bob’s next brainstorm: to provide opportunities for North Shore teens to attend American boarding schools. The Nadeau’s oldest son, Philip, went first to Choate (where Bob was serving as chaplain) and then on to Bowdoin. He is now chairman of QLF’s board of directors in Canada. Philip’s younger brothers Murray ’75, Mel ’76 and Kirby ’77 came to Hebron, along with their cousin, Tim ’77.

And others came, in ones and twos, from villages up and down the Coast: from St. Augustine came Maddy Belvin ’75, and Marjorie Bobbitt ’75 from Chevery; Blanc-Sablon sent Harvey Burke ’78; Harry Cox ’78, Helen Jones ’75 and Michael Osborne ’76 came from Harrington Harbour; Bryce Fequet ’77 from Old Fort Bay and Brenda McKinnon ’80 from La Tabatiere.

In the 1980s, several students from Maine also benefitted from QLF support: Tanya Harden ’84 of Beals; Tonia Smith ’91 of Perry;

Francis ’89, Lewis ’89 and Mali ’95 Tomah of Princeton and Kristin Wright ’87 of Machias.

“This Hebron connection would never have happened without David Rice,” Bob said. A Choate colleague, David had been a QLF volunteer in Mutton Bay, and worked to admit QLF-sponsored students when he became headmaster at Hebron.

n the early 60s, many kids who grew up on the Lower North Shore or the “Coast” had to spend summer holidays on small islands close to the inshore cod fishery. Sports and recreational activities were not given much priority at that time of the year as the fishing season was short and many families focused on income. However, Bob Bryan changed that when he formed the Quebec-Labrador Foundation and encouraged student volunteers to travel to coastal communities to organize and introduce various sports to the indigenous population along the Quebec-Labrador coastline. Because there were few roads, access to many of these villages was limited to boats or seaplanes. Younger kids would often run enthusiastically to the dock whenever the yellow and black N369E was spotted in the vicinity. Mr. Bryan usually brought much-needed sports equipment or

Bob was not content to stop at just the summer volunteer programs, however. “Later in the ’70s we got involved in environmental work and we directed our efforts towards helping the people on the coast be stewards of their own resources,” he said. “Not telling them what to do, but through educational projects giving them an idea of what conservation meant, would have to mean in their lives.”

In 1975, QLF started the Living Rivers Program in Tabusintac, New Brunswick, which was the first of several cross-border community-based conservation programs, followed a year later by the Grey Islands School in Newfoundland and St. Mary’s Island Seabird Conservation Program in Quebec. By

volunteers. At the conclusion of the summer sessions, QLF volunteers organized summer Olympics among the different towns. These events were greatly appreciated by the youth and general population. For many of us it was a time to compete, meet new friends and socialize.

All of the youth who were influenced by the positive contact and initiatives created by Bob Bryan and his QLF volunteers have something to cherish for generations. Those of us who received scholarships to attend Hebron Academy and other first class learning institutions will be forever grateful. One cannot evaluate a memory but we can create more opportunities for others to follow.

We thank Bob Bryan, the Quebec-Labrador Foundation, and Hebron Academy for improving our lives.

1978, many environmental programs were managed under the umbrella of QLF’s Atlantic Center for the Environment. In the 1980s, QLF started its first international programs, which continue today.

As QLF’s mission expanded, Bob continued to work as a clergyman, flying up and down the coast to hold services and offer support. He and his yellow plane became well-known on the coast, and although he flew other planes over the years he always painted them yellow, so those on land would know who he was, especially if he needed help himself.

In addition to spiritual support, Bob also provided practical help to the people of the North Shore with his plane. “I helped out as an ambulance pilot, med-evac, which is not first on call,” he said. “But often pilots on the extended coastline might be 300 miles away from where the accident occurred and I’d be close to it. Over the years, I got to know the country all the way north to Hudson Strait, just below Baffin Island. In that area and North Labrador there are mountain peaks of 5000 feet that go directly into the sea and there is snow on them every Among those who came from Canada for the Distinguished Service Award ceremony were: (back row) Mel Nadeau ’76, Laurie Nadeau and Kirby Nadeau ’77; (front) Murray Nadeau ’75, Bob Bryan ’50 and Tim Nadeau ’77.

month of the year. When you’re flying along, you count on the engine continuing to tick, because you might have to make a forced landing; you think about it all the time. If you have floats, you land on water unless it’s unbelievably rough; on wheels and skis you try to look for the softest place you can think of and then hope and pray that the radio’s working. The radios we had were high frequency and required a

trailing antenna 180 feet long. You would peak the load on the antenna when you got set to make sure you were getting out on the radio. You would try to keep in touch with someone with a transceiver on land.

It would work two or three hundred miles away when you were on land but sometimes it wouldn’t work 10 miles away.”

That funny fella

In 1982, Bob received word that Marshall Dodge, his old Yale friend and Bert and I partner, had been killed in a hit-and-run accident in Hawaii. Bob was one of several speakers at Marshall’s memorial service, and there he met a young man who had been performing with Marshall in recent years.

“There I was at this service for Marshall feeling like a complete fish out of water because I didn’t know any of these people and they didn’t know me,” recalled Tim Sample ’69. “Then Bobby found me. He gave me his number and told me to call him when I wanted to talk. A few months later I did call him and went to see him. We had never met before Marshall’s service. We talked for hours and he ended up by saying he wanted to do what he could to support my work.”

Tim and Marshall had planned to do a recorded version of a book that Tim had illustrated, called How to Talk Yankee.

Instead Bob and Tim recorded it and it became a huge hit. Over the years, Bob and Tim have performed occasionally and

worked on projects together, becoming great friends in the process. But storytelling for Bob was always a sideline, something he did for fun, or, as Tim said, “At the weddings of presidents, prime ministers and kings.”

The ambassador

What is it about Bob that has allowed him to accomplish all this?

“He is extremely empowering of people,” said former volunteer and staffer Henry Harding. “He doesn’t have a backup plan, he just trusts you to get the job done and knows that you will. He has no fear that you will fail and you don’t.”

According to Kirby Nadeau, Bob was a bit like Dr. Grenfell, whose medical mission served the North Shore for nearly a

century, and he had the church on his side.

“He carried the bishop around to these little communities with the plane,” Kirby said.

“Most of these places are fly-in places, so the only contact with the world that these people had was with Bob Bryan. He was one of the few people that we saw more consistently than anyone else. When people would show up with Bob they would meet family members and households, have a dinner, get a perspective on these small communities.

The reverse happened when he came back to places like Boston and New York. He’d get us guys to go and meet people and talk to them. He was a good salesman and a good ambassador in both directions.”

“In public life, in politics, in business, there’s a lot of manipulation and everybody

has a game face,” said Tim Sample. “But with Bobby it’s disarmingly personal and real and genuine. What you see is what you get… this guy actually cares and he has these expectations. You would do anything for him, and be glad for the opportunity.”

Class Notes 1935

1948

Harold Pearl writes, “In 1932 I believe we had 125 students—great that you now have 250!” n Judy Marsh writes, “On behalf of my father, Joseph [Holmes], I would like to express regrets that he will not be able to attend the Hebron Academy 75th Reunion.

Dad was very impressed with the brochure for the 75th reunion, as was I. We loved seeing his picture along with the football team’s picture. That was great! Dad wants you to know that one of the reasons that Hebron is so special to him is that Hebron remembers him. He would like to say ‘hello’ to all his classmates as well as all Hebronians. He remembers his two year experience as a very big part of his life. His speech teacher had him memorize ‘The Laurels of a Mother’ which he recited and won several awards. He remembers Chauncey Griffith, his French teacher, playing the organ and singing with him. Dad later went on to Colgate University. Dad is 93 years old and is living at the Masonic Home in St. Petersburg, FL. He is quite healthy for his age and enjoys entertaining the residents with his singing and playing the ukelele. I live close by and visit him often.”

alumni et alumnae Notable Alumna: Brittany Crush ’04

Local nurse tends to Haiti’s sick B

rittany Crush figures she won’t miss home, even when she’s working 18-hour days and living inside a steel shipping container.

On [December 2, 2010], the registered nurse from Turner will begin a year of service in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Though she’s only 24, she will serve as the chief nursing officer in the country’s only critical-care hospital.

“I can’t imagine going back to a traditional hospital on a permanent basis,” Crush said during a break from packing. “I’m kind of prepared for it in a way. This really is what I want. I have always wanted to do Third World medicine.”

She has visited Haiti three times this year, first working in a MASHlike field hospital. During two other trips, she worked at the Port-au-Prince hospital she’ll help lead.

There will be little time to miss her parents and sister or the pleasures of an ice-cold Diet Coke, she said.

As a nurse at Haiti’s only criticalcare hospital, she will see the sickest people in the country. She also will have the most equipment and medicine in the area.

Though it won’t be like home.

Since graduating from nursing school in 2006, Crush has worked steadily.

She worked for a while at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.

For the past two and a half years, she served as a pediatric nurse at Children’s Hospital Boston.

In April, three months after a devastating earthquake shook the capital, Crush visited Port-au-Prince with an organization called Project Medishare.

Children were begging at the airport: “Money! Money! Food! Food!”

“They tell you, ‘Keep on walking,’” Crush said. “’Don’t even look.”

A couple of days later, she and other visitors toured Port-au-Prince.

She saw her first tent city. She saw children bathing in a ditch.

“That’s when it hit me,” she said.

“This is their new reality.”

The visit exposed her to a kind of pure medicine, away from the bureaucracy of modern U.S. hospitals.

“You’re there just to take care of people,” she said.

She also felt the frustration that comes with knowing that a child might be saved in Boston or Lewiston but die in Haiti, she said.

“I saw a lot,” she said quietly. “I did a lot. A lot of people died.”

The initial weeklong stay led to a six-week return visit this summer.

She returned again in November, coming home a week before Thanksgiving.

Crush has never felt frightened in Haiti and she is eager to go back, she said.

This time, rather than the tents she stayed in during her first visit, she’ll be staying in a community created for visiting medical workers. The housing was made from steel containers.

Crush will get her own con–tainer, with a bed, a refrigerator and air conditioning. Nearby containers will have showers, a cafeteria, a gym and a laundry room.

There will be little time for luxuries, though.

A cholera epidemic that began outside the capital has now struck the city, she said.

Though it’s entirely treatable, too many people die from the aggressive bacteria that attacks people’s

digestive systems, leaving them dangerously dehydrated in only a few hours.

The key is getting fluids to people quickly, she said.

During her year-long stay, she plans to come home for a few breaks, but Christmas will be spent there.

She has even begun a small charity in hopes of supplying the hospital’s staff and patients with a holiday meal. She opened an account at TD Bank under the heading “Christmas in Haiti.” People may donate by visiting any local TD Bank branch.

The meal is unlikely to feature

American holiday staples such as fruitcake or eggnog. Rather it will likely include rice, beans, chicken and fried plantains, staples of a Haitian diet.

Crush aims to give people a small Christmas luxury, something so many Haitians miss.

Yet, they are an unbroken people, she said.

“I have been amazed at how positive they are,” she said. “They just picked up their stuff and kept going.”

Obituaries 1930

Henry J. McCusker died December 15, 2010, in Naples, Florida. An attorney by training, Mr. McCusker spent a successful career as president of Holliston Mills, his family’s book cloth manufacturing business, based in Norwood, Massachusetts, with facilities in Rhode Island and Tennessee.

During World War II, the company manufactured war materials such as camouflage and, later, the Encyclopedia Britannica and U.S. passports. Other family businesses included Chandler Manufacturing, McKenzie Gray Bass Boats, the Plimpton Press and Papel Satinado. In past years, he maintained a law office in Weymouth and Orleans. Mr. McCusker is probably best remembered for his devotion to family, keen mind and quick wit. Friends always expected humorous tales from him, often requesting he retell classic favorites. He was an avid fly fisherman and an accomplished golfer, a sport he enjoyed with several generations of his family. He continued to “shoot” or score his age well into his late eighties, carding two holes-in-one in his lifetime. Born in Lewiston in 1911, he went on to graduate from the University of Maine and Boston College Law School. He was the son of the late Thomas B. and Marguerite Stone McCusker, and beloved husband of the late Georgia Wilson McCusker, who died in 1998.

Mr. McCusker is survived by a son, John W. McCusker; a daughter, Anne M. Peirce; a sister, Pauline Watt; two granddaughters and two great-grandsons. A sister, Dorothy Brebbia, and three brothers, Thomas B. McCusker Jr. ’32, Paul T. McCusker ’42 and Richard P. McCusker predeceasd him.

Mr. McCusker was a resident of Florida for 50 years, and a former Cape Cod resident living in Eastham and later Yarmouthport.

He was a member of Eastward Ho! C.C. in Chatham, Coral Ridge C.C. in Fort Lauderdale, the New York Yacht Club and Orleans Yacht Club. He was a former member of the Neighborhood Club of Quincy and the Algonquin Club of Boston.

1931

John M. Beale died of natural causes on July 27, 2010, at his residence in Auburn.

He was born in 1914, in Eastport, the only child of William C. and Eunice (Mower) Beale. He was valedictorian of his class at Shead Memorial High School, Eastport, before coming to Hebron. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1935. Mr. Beale was employed by the then-new Social Security Administration in 1936, working first in the Portland office and then in Bangor. In early 1940 he was appointed district manager of the newly created Lewiston Social Security district office, a position which he held until his retirement in 1973. In 1940, he married Evelyn C. Welch of Bangor. The couple were the parents of four sons, Stephen, James, Thomas and Michael. Mr. and

Mrs. Beale resided in the same house on Shepley Street in Auburn until Mrs. Beale’s death, and Mr. Beale continued in that residence until his death. Mr. Beale was active in community affairs. He was a former member of Central Maine Medical Center Board of Trustees, and served as chairman and member of several committees of that board in the late 1970s and 1980s. In 1974 Mr. Beale was chairman of Central Maine General Hospital—St. Mary’s Joint Hospital Fund Campaign, which at the time, was deemed one of the largest and most successful capital fund appeals conducted in this area. For that work he received a special award from Lewiston-Auburn Chamber of Commerce. For many years he was active as a volunteer in United Way and its predecessor organizations. He served the United Way in a number of capacities, including that of campaign chairman. He also served as its interim executive director on one occasion when the United Way was suddenly without an executive director. He served several terms as a trustee of Auburn Public Library, including a term as vice president of the board. He was a longtime member of the Bowdoin Club of Androscoggin County, serving as president among other offices. Captain of the swim team while at Bowdoin College, Mr. Beale continued his interest in competitive swimming after graduation and served as coach of the Edward Little High School swim team from 1944 to 1962, although he was never a member of the Edward Little High School teaching faculty. In his retirement years Mr. Beale enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities, including vegetable gardening, working in his woodlot and at Prince Farm Orchard, Turner. He is survived by three sons, Stephen P. Beale, Thomas J. Beale and Michael J. Beale; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Evelyn, in 2008; and by a son, James W. Beale, in 1994.

1934

Paul Clayton Billings died April 17, 2010.

He was born in Stonington in 1916, the older son of William and Mabel Smith Billings. After a postgraduate year at Hebron, Mr. Billings went to the University of Maine, graduating with a degree in chemical engineering. While at college, he met and married Cortna Kingsley. Mr. Billings had a 34-year career with Exxon, beginning at the Rayway Refinery in New Jersey, and including positions in England and Okinawa.

Over the years he enjoyed fishing, sailing, golfing, lapidary, bridge and spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of 68 years; a daughter, Mary Ellen Culp; two sons, Jed Billings and Tom Billings; a sister, Mary Orsenigo; four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews.

★ Alexander Nishimura died on December 21, 2010, after a long, courageous struggle with kidney failure and hemolytic anemia.

He was born in New York City in 1963, the son of Utako Horie and William Nishimura.

After his early years in New York, he graduated from Hebron, where he developed a love of astronomy from Mr Valeriani and English from Mr. Willard. He attended the University of Pennsylvania majoring in geology, and joining the ROTC with the hope of becoming a naval officer. This dream was fulfilled with Naval Flight School where he became a lieutenant and flight navigational officer on an A6 Intruder. His subsequent postings including trips to the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and Patagonia as well as the various training courses were a great source of satisfaction for him. Following his retirement from the Navy in 1996, he settled in Virginia Beach where he could indulge in his other great love, fishing. He was active in advocating for the health of the waters off the Virginia coast. He returned to school at the ECPI College of Technology graduating with an associate degree in applied science-computer and information science, summa cum laude. In 2005, he accepted a position giving technical support and assistance at Dendrite International.

He possessed a wide variety of interests, a sharp mind for detail, a love of obscure facts, and a cheerful, sardonic sense of humor. He was a lover

of delicious food, an amazing cook, and a great friend. Alex will be greatly missed.

Alex is survived by his devoted mother, Utako Horie.; two uncles, Tsukasa and Takekazu Horie; and three aunts, Sumiko, Kimiko and Michiko of Japan. He was particularly close to his cousins in Maine while he was growing up: Ryuko Horie Doscher, Takeyoshi Horie and Ayumi Horie ‘87. His love of fishing stemmed from his summers in Maine where his grandmother, the late Mineko Horie, and his uncle Takekazu were avid fishermen and took him out both on the lakes of Maine and on the ocean.

Elizabeth “Betty” M. Robinson died on December 24, 2010, in Norway. She was born in 1917 in Trenton, New Jersey, the daughter of Julius and Geneva Berger. Her mother was originally from Calais and the family made regular summer trips downeast. She graduated from College High School (NJ) in 1935. She attended Oberlin College, the New School of Fine and Industrial Arts, and Farmington Normal School, now known as the University of Maine at Farmington, where she received her certificate of education in 1940. After graduation, she moved to Oxford to teach the third and fourth grades at Oxford School. In Oxford, she met John B. Robinson, whom she married in 1942.

Except for a brief interruption during World War ll, during which John was posted to various assignments while in the Navy, they were always “home” in Oxford. While John served his country Betty traveled across the United States to be with him as much as possible, eventually returning to Oxford to await his return from the Pacific Islands.

When she heard the news that World War ll had ended, she rang the bell at Robinson Manufacturing Company to alert all the village of the good news. After the war, John returned to Oxford and went on to become President and Chairman of Robinson Mfg. Co. in Oxford, where Betty could be found visiting her beloved husband almost everyday. She raised three children, Barbara, Joseph and George, who all reside in the Oxford Hills. She had a great interest in genealogy that led her to become a longtime member of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Maine. While a member, she served on the board of managers and many other committees and eventually became President. She was very honored to have served as the secretary of the Sulgrave Manor Board while a member of the NSCDA. She enjoyed traveling, both to research genealogy and for pleasure. She and her husband John traveled to many destinations, including Europe, Canada, and across the United States. She was the longtime treasurer of the Freeland Homes Library in Oxford. She also served as chairman of the Women’s Committee of the Portland Symphony Orchestra, as a member of the House Committee of the Portland Museum of Art and the McClellanSweat Mansion and on the board of the Maine Historical Society. She wasa member of Oxford Chapter #168, Order of the Eastern Star. She served as the American Red Cross Chapter Chairman, the Home Services Chairman, and Chairman of the Maine Council Services to Camps and Hospitals. She was a member of the Stephens Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, the Women’s Guild of the Oxford Congregational Church, the Norway Women’s Club, and the Home Crafters of Oxford County. She also was active in Victoria Society of Maine Women, Border Historical Society (Eastport), and the Longfellow Garden Club. She attended the Oxford Congregational Church and Christ Episcopal Church in Norway, and was active in the Christian Science Church. She was an accomplished artist in watercolor, and also enjoyed needlepoint. Mrs. Robinson was predeceased by her parents; her sister, Gertrude Foote; and her husband of 57 years, John ’37. She is survived by her brother George Berger ’41; her three children, Barbara, Joseph ’70 and George ’73; her grandchildren, Bethanne Graustein ’95, John Robinson ’91, Merilee Grubb ’92, Geneva Robinson ’02, Andrew Robinson and Thomas Robinson; and five great-grandchildren.

Although we usually run only obituaries of alumni or trustees, we wanted to recognize Mrs. Robinson’s many connections to Hebron.

T

he Earl Brown ski area was something I just “tripped upon” while out looking for a Streaked Mountain replacement. Streaked was too far away, faced due south and into the sun’s melting rays, and had too many patches of rock face that would not hold snow well.

It too often blew off and was piled where we didn’t want it. The Earl Brown area, on the other hand, faced due east and the travel distance, out the East Hebron Road past the church, was much shorter. It didn’t hurt that Earl Brown’s daughter worked in Hebron’s business office! We negotiated something like $45 per year rental and raised it to $60 the third year. Claude

all downhill from here

Allen couldn’t believe my negotiating skills!

Looking back, we never developed more than half the height potential of the Earl Brown hill. What we did develop was more than challenging for the prep school circuit, given the restricted time we had to run four events in one day.

It was usually slalom and downhill at the Brown area in the morning, jumping down behind the church after lunch, followed by cross-country that started next to the church and finished coming out of the woods behind my house (Long Cottage).

We were well served by the 1000-foot rope tow that we bought from a Vermont area that was going out of business. Going another 1000 feet up, for longer runs and full use of the hill, probably would have required another rope tow or replacing rope tows with a 2000-foot T-bar.
