Alumni Reconnect During Reunion Weekend May 10-13, 2013 promised to be a great weekend and it did not disappoint! The weekend kicked off on Friday, May 10th at 8:15 a.m. with an Alumni Panel Discussion in the commons. Our panelists were impressive to say the least and they shared some valuable stories and information with the entire Upper School. Our panelists included Sarah Yates Hutcherson ’03, a pediatric nurse, Keith Everett ’88, a retired Lieutenant Commander with the United States Navy, Kevinn Matthews ’88, an attorney for WPX Energy in Tulsa, Markus Kamp ’88, a writer-editor for Boeing and musician in Seattle, Dr. Deborah Jenkins ’75, a doctor serving with Doctors Without Borders, Mark Eckenwiler ’78, a Privacy and Security attorney in Washington, DC, and celebrating her 50-year reunion, Robin Flint Ballenger ’63, the first female chairman of Flintco, a construction company based in Tulsa. Question: What is

the sign of a great panel? Answer: Students lining up after the program to talk further with the panelists, and that is exactly what happened! Following the panel discussion, other visiting alumni were treated to a campus tour led by our Interim Director of Admission Olivia Martin and lunch with current and former faculty members in the Alumni Center. After a break from the morning events and little rest, the alumni stormed the DoubleTree Warren Place Hotel for what turned out to be a spectacular evening. 400+ guests turned up for the Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony and All-Sports Banquet. Hall of Fame inductees were Nick Bunting ’03, Parker Fleming ’95, Lori Frank ’73, Emily Watson Hillsman ’78, Romney Nowlin McGuire ’94, Jeff
Moore ’71, Carol Edwards Owens ’78, Coach Dan Hildebrand and the 1992 Boys Cross Country Team (Channing Smith ’94, Richie Wagner ’94, Jason Lee ’93, Tyler Archibald ’94, Trent Tucker ’93, Parker Fleming ’95, Justin Meade ’94, Chad Stanford ’93, Greg Wnuk ’95, Matt Boyd ’96, John Baikie ’96, Jim Patterson ’95, Jay Bost ’94, Pete Willis ’96 and Damian Lawrence ’95). Following the ceremony, the alumni went down the hall to enjoy the All Alumni Party. With upwards of 300 in attendance, the trips down memory lane were numerous, the expressions of joy on everyone’s faces as they recognized an old friend or classmate were priceless and the feeling of Holland Hall pride was abundant. The food, beverages and fun were compliments of Holland Hall!
