In 1951, when Peterborough boy Douglas Rishor ’57 joined Lakefield College School as a young boarder, his mother believed that it would be a good thing for her only son to experience a Grove education. And just like so many mothers … she was right. Since that time, a lot has changed at LCS but a lot has stayed the same. Doug’s involvement and passion for the school has continued and for the past 25 consecutive years he has supported the school and its students with an annual gift. In fact, Doug was among the first group of Forever Grove donors—those individuals who choose to make easy and manageable monthly contributions to the Annual Appeal. On October 30, 2010, for his inspirational and long-term support, current Foundation Board Chair Bill Morris ‘70, presented Doug with a custom made Red Tail maple paddle. Doug is the third individual recognized for support of this length and joins alumni David Miller ‘77 and Hugh Rawling ‘77 who were acknowledged in 2010. Following the formal presentation, and with paddle in hand, Doug (bottom left) stepped up to the podium and addressed the 160 attendees at the Trustees Dinner. “A little bit every month,” he said. “It’s easy. It makes a difference,” and in true Doug Rishor-style—he wrapped up his comments with, “Besides if you put it on your credit card, you can collect your points too.” On behalf of The Grove and the students who are impacted by this generous support—Thank you Doug.
