From the Head’s Desk Education was a key topic of discussion at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, held in Davos this past January.

In particular, experts speaking at the meeting noted that automation and Artificial Intelligence are going to make future careers very different. These experts predict that any job that is repetitive will eventually be done by machines, so it is essential that we change how we educate students. In fact, one prediction from the McKinsey Global Institute says that robots could replace 800 million jobs by 2030.

Jack Ma, founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, says that it is imperative that schools move away from content-based education, focused on events from the past 200 years, and toward “soft skills” – values, believing, independent thinking, teamwork, and care for others. He recommends teaching students things that will always set humans apart from machines – sports, music, painting, the arts.

Park Tudor has a long tradition of instilling these soft skills in our students. Our mission expressly speaks to developing life-long learners – essential to adapting to the rapid change that our students will experience throughout their lifetimes. We also focus our mission on “balance,” which you will see every day here at the school and throughout the pages of this magazine as students pursue their passions in the arts, athletics, and academics.

You will also find that Park Tudor alumni are adept at the soft skills. I encourage you to read this issue’s feature story about Casey Mitchell Kelley ’90, who has leveraged her entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, unique consumer insights and help from some fellow PT alums to start a successful business, all while giving back to the community. This issue also catches up with two previous recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award: Frank Watanabe ’85, whose varied career has taken him from the CIA and combat in Kosovo and Afghanistan to executive positions with Eli Lilly and Amgen to pharmaceutical start-ups; and Tom Osborne ’96, who has gained recognition as a composer and professor of music at the University of Hawaii.

While Park Tudor will always ensure that our students develop core competencies in key areas like reading, writing, science, math and foreign languages – all of which are essential to becoming critical thinkers – it is imperative that we also continue to pursue opportunities for developing our students’ soft skills.

I encourage you to visit the World Economic Forum website (www.weforum.org) to read more about the educational issues discussed at their annual meeting. You will also find videos of Jack Ma and some of the other experts’ presentations.

As always, I welcome your thoughts and feedback.

Remembering Miss Betty Brock

Park Tudor lost a beloved friend and colleague on November 25, 2017, when Miss Elizabeth “Betty” Brock passed away at age 97.

A piano teacher and accompanist, Miss Brock began at Tudor Hall in the fall of 1960 and continued her career at Park Tudor, eventually retiring in 2013. Miss Brock grew up in Indianapolis, graduating from Short Ridge High School and earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Butler University.

Known for her high standards and no-nonsense style, Miss Brock held her students accountable and expected them to come to lessons prepared. According to her former student Tom Osborne ’96: “‘Achievement’ was a constant theme in lessons with Miss Brock, and she always returned to the importance of setting goals and attaining them...

Miss Brock was an unwavering figure holding the bar high and steady (much to her students’ dismay at times!). Were a student to show up to a lesson unprepared, one could expect a discussion in responsibility. Were one to give excuses for one’s lack of preparation, a lesson in self-discipline would surely follow…

But above all else, Miss Brock taught me - and all her students - humility. I remember a few lessons where I would play a piece for her, feeling I’d hit it out of the park and wearing a smug, self-satisfied grin on my face. She would give me a smile, and then promptly proceed to go through the piece with me, measure by measure, revealing how little I truly understood about the music. She did this in the kindest way, but she always reminded her students that there was so much more to learn…”

Miss Brock first began taking piano lessons at age five with her aunt, who was a piano teacher.

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2018

She began teaching piano while still in high school; according to a letter written by Miss Brock, she “made the mistake of discovering in H.S. that giving piano lessons was more fun than babysitting...and that’s how it began.”

Later in the letter, Miss Brock recounts the great effort that she went through to improve her teaching and playing technique, including attending lectures and technique demonstrations by Isidore Philipp (French pianist and composer) when he visited Indianapolis. Miss Brock “determined then and there to go to N.Y. and have a few lessons with him before he went back to Paris. I went to work nights at Mallorys all winter and saved enough money to go to N.Y. the next summer. He certainly got me on the right path. A few years later, after reading a book he wrote, I went to Warren, PA one summer to work with Leroy B. Campbell. By incorporating his ideas along with Philipp’s I finally resolved my technique problems and to this day I try to pass these techniques on to my students.”

Miss Brock strove to instill a love of music in her students. She recounts this in the closing paragraph of her letter: “I firmly believe that every human being has an inner need for and a response to music. For some this is an obvious, overt awareness and only needs to be nourished. For others it has to be discovered and pulled to the surface. But in either case, as hectic and frantic as our lives are today, to nourish this capacity within us is needed more than ever and good piano music on whatever level is one of the best ways to bring it about.”

Twenty-Two Park Tudor Students Experience International Diplomacy in The Hague

World Forum Theater, following a global flag parade featuring Park Tudor students Lily Erickson carrying the flag for the Republic of CHAD, and Tori Dakich carrying the flag for the International Labor Organization.

Simon Brown, Connor Button, Lee Chandler, Megan Chapelle, Tori Dakich, Eda Devletsah, Lily Erickson, Matthew Heck, Will Hupfer, Leo Helman, Alex Klimek, Chris Lombardo, Natalie Long, Sarah Maar, Carter Miller, Graysen Montel, Alec Palmer, Jack Ranucci, Maya Voelkel, and Alec Weiker dialogued extensively with students from other nations with the goal to contribute formal clauses to create merged resolutions which address their assigned global issues. They engaged in debate and formally addressed their fellow global committee members through speech making to audiences ranging in size from 32 to 200 students.

While THIMUN is essentially a grand-scale simulation of the work of the United Nations, our students also get to know the real lives of students from all corners of the globe through informal conversation. Model United Nations is globally recognized as one of the foremost educational initiatives to best promote critical thinking in the global milieu of the 21st century. Park Tudor has had a standing invitation to THIMUN since 1983 and it is one of only nine U.S. schools who have the annual opportunity to participate in this global event.

Park Tudor's largest ever delegation to The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) traveled to the Netherlands from January 26 - February 2. They toured Amsterdam on Saturday and The Hague on Sunday, and then began merging resolution clauses across 20 different committees tackling global crises as diverse as the elimination of global terrorism, privacy rights in the digital age, promotion of women's economic empowerment, and the creation of effective supply chains to reduce global food waste.

Senior Maya Mishra, PTMUN club president 2018, was managing editor of THIMUN's MUNITY Press Corps for this 50th anniversary of THIMUN - the global signature MUN conference for high school students. Maya's story, "What is a civil society?" was front page news on the anniversary special edition newspaper, that sold out 1,000 copies. Together with senior Will Couch on newspaper layout, the press corps produced, printed and sold five 12page print media news journals every 24-hour period, covering the events of some 3,400 students in session.

Senior Selected as U.S. Presidential Scholars Candidate Congratulations to senior Maya Mishra, who has been selected as a candidate for the United States Presidential Scholars Program.

The program was established in 1964, by Executive Order of the President, to recognize and honor some of the nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named U.S. Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students.

Approximately 600 candidates are named semifinalists, and their names and supporting materials are forwarded to the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars for further review.

In April, the Commission selects up to 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars, who are honored during the National Recognition Program held in June in Washington, D.C.

Author Bob Black '82 Visits Middle and Upper School Students On Wednesday, November 29, Middle School students welcomed Bob Black '82, author and PT alum. Bob has been a frequent visitor as he continues to write both fiction and nonfiction for Young Adult readers. Bob spoke to 7th and 8th graders in classes and during the Genealogy iBlock. He addressed the writing and research process as he talked to Sara Rogers' 8th grade English classes. During the iBlock class, he commensurated with fellow "searchers" on the challenges of finding details of family history.

Spanish Students Use Virtual Reality to Explore Upper School Spanish teacher Steve Schubert has begun using teacher-guided virtual reality with Google Expeditions at Park Tudor. He took Spanish II students on a tour in Mexico City for Day of the Dead; students had a vocabulary lesson, cultural presentations, and got to explore six locations in a 3-D spherical image approximating visual reality using goggles. Steve elicited reactions in Spanish from students while in VR, then followed up with small group conversation accompanying each location. The class spoke Spanish at least 90% of the time for the 70-minute class.

Bob also visited the Civil War Military History class of Mrs. Kathryn Lerch in the Upper School. Since his latest novel is based on a family connection with a WWII soldier, and a number of her students had taken the WWII course, they welcomed his visit.

They enjoyed seeing examples of WWII letters as well as the coin bracelet that had been featured in Words of War (volume 2). Bob also discussed his family's Civil War connections in the Union Army.

Although Bob is a trained engineer, his writing career has led him to eight YA novels and a commission to write 6-9 biographies of mathematicians. Bob's books can be found in the Middle School library or may be ordered from Royal Fireworks Press.

An Interview with Upper School English Teacher Allyson Horton, Author of Quick Fire

BY CATHY YINGLING CHAPELLE ‘87

In February, Upper English teacher Allyson Horton published her first book of poetry, titled Quick Fire and published by Third World Press Foundation, the largest independent black-owned press in the United States. Since the 1960s, Third World Press Foundation has focused on publishing culturally progressive and political books of fiction and non-fiction, poetry, and crossgenre work.

and other poets to not be fearful of revising. I also read a lot of poetry. I was committed then and I remain committed to improving upon my craft.

Allyson first gained notoriety as a poet in 1998, when she was featured on the national television show, “It’s Showtime at the Apollo,” and won the night - beating out musicians, dancers and other entertainers. While that experience opened doors for Allyson as a performer of poetry, by 2012 she was concerned that she was no longer growing as a writer and entered the MFA Creative Writing program at Butler University. Quick Fire began taking shape during her time at Butler (Allyson earned her MFA in 2014).

I approached Third World Press Foundation because I was aware of their legacy of publishing lots of prominent African American writers - poets, scholars, even playwrights - and I was impressed with their 50-year heritage. I’d read a lot of the work they published and thought I’d find a voice. I also had a close relationship and was very influenced by the writer Mari Evans, who was also published by Third World Press Foundation.

Critics have embraced Quick Fire. In her introduction, Kelly Norman Ellis, PhD, author and Associate Professor and Department Chairperson of English, Foreign Language and Literatures at Chicago State University, says “These poems by Allyson Horton are proof that in the age of Google and social media, the steadfastness of intricate storytelling and lyrical balance will never be lost….These poems are contemporary and classic.”

I eventually sent them in a manuscript a couple of years after I finished my MFA program. I took a lot of time to revise and revisit the ideas in many of the poems, as well as ordering the poems in a particular way. I wanted to show range and versatility, so I assembled the poems into distinct sections covering a variety of themes like family, American society, pop culture, and childhood, among others.

I recently sat down with Allyson to discuss her new book.

Eventually I got an acceptance letter from Third World Press Foundation, and then did some additional editing and revising, including reordering some of the poems and retitling the manuscript book. It was originally going to be called Rainbows After the Storm, which is a line from a poem, but of course that was changed to Quick Fire.

What was the process like to get published?

Before I submitted anything for publication, I workshopped a number of poems in the book, and followed the advice of many of the known and unknown mentors in my life who directed me

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL Tell me about the meaning behind the title, Quick Fire.

It speaks to the rhythmic use of language in the poetry - its musicality: sound, pulse and composition. It also speaks to my style of storytelling or truth-telling. (Editor’s note: Reviewer Jessica Care moore, poet, activist, and publisher, describes Allyson’s use of language as “pressure cooker perfection”).

What are some of the themes you cover in the book?

My poems touch on a wide range of topics and themes, from my grandparents’ migration from the rural South to my upbringing “on the margins” as the child of Jehovah’s Witnesses, to music and musicians like Wes Montgomery and Michael Jackson. Some of my poems are autobiographical, some are observational... some raise questions.

They are Indiana-oriented; being raised in the Midwest has completely informed my work. So has American culture - both the beautiful and the not-so-beautiful aspects of our society.

A poem from Quick Fire: Indiana Avenue: Jazz-ku for Wes Wes Montgomery balanced his scales on the edge of a blueback thumb.

Black rivers flow up ward their magnificence |fret| ting the dams ahead.

Man, sometimes you got to nudge the notes, only way them blue ones gon’ budge.

How can you not redefine the only instrument you have?

“Straight No Chaser”

How does your writing impact your teaching at Park Tudor?

If I weren’t a poet, I wouldn’t be a teacher. What I mean by that is creative writing translates into creative teaching. If you incorporate and subscribe to creative teaching methods, the rewards are endless. For me, the performative nature of spoken word also follows into the classroom and helps me engage with my students.

The Ultimate Field Trip for PT Historians

BY KATHRYN LERCH, UPPER SCHOOL SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER AND LEGACY INITIATIVE COORDINATOR This past June, Daniel Ehrlich (10), Trace Held (10) and Leo Helman (11) set off for Washington, D.C. to do hands-on-history research at the National Archives, with chaperones Chris Hammock (MS Support) and myself. Prior to our research trip I had sent out a request to colleagues at Park Tudor and friends in other organizations for names of individuals for whom they would like military records. From their generous response, we were able to generate a two-page research list. The goal was to locate and find materials related to these individuals and then check them off our “punch list.” We were particularly interested in locating (1) veteran pension applications for particular individuals who served in the American Revolution and the Civil War; (2) an after-action report for the 18th Infantry Regiment in the 1st Division in WW One, focusing on activities in October 1918 and (3), a war diary log, if any, for the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier during the battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. A researcher could spend days on any one of these tasks. So we divided up our long list of individuals and topics, and crossed them off one by one.

What was this experience like for the teachers and the students?

As a teacher I was amazed at the level of “grit” demonstrated by each student as they pursued one objective, then another. We never heard the questions: “When can we go to lunch?” or “Are

All three students first located Civil War pension applications for numerous soldiers in the 19th and 30th Indiana Infantry Regiments and the 8th NY Heavy Artillery Regiment. We were also seeking more material from pension file for Oliver S. Powers, Sr., an American Revolution soldier from Massachusetts. Regarding this early history period, Trace Held wrote: “working with firsthand documents is an experience like no other. Seeing the writing and reading the words written by men who were at crucial moments in this nation’s history was extraordinary. Going to the Archives allowed me to experience history first-hand.”

For the Civil War, as a teacher, I wanted to locate “fresh” material for my Civil War History elective, and we were also particularly interested in learning more about certain individuals. “Fresh” material includes often elusive long-unread Civil War letters.

When a son died during the Civil War, either parent could make an application for a pension—but they had to provide evidence of earlier financial support from their son. Therefore, they would include the original letters from their deceased child—which the pension office would then mark up with a red pencil— showing that they had provided some dollars towards a new winter coat or money for paint for the farmhouse. The letters were never returned and in some cases have not been read since the 1860s.

Daniel Ehrlich remembers he “was surprised to find and be able to read letters sent by a veteran.” He “lucked” onto one of the first batches of original letters. Numerous other small collections

of letters from the 19th Indiana were also located and enjoyed.

Although we could have spent the entire trip (or even more) doing research at the venerable National Archives building on Pennsylvania Avenue (“Archives I”), we had to also go out to Archives II in College Park, Maryland. Differences between the two facilities are striking. While Archives I is majestic and monumental, Archives II houses many records and state-of-the-art technology in a contemporary glass-and-steel building. This archive houses records post-Civil War and included whole floors devoted to still photos and maps. Our mission was more focused here on specific collections versus pension records. Daniel Ehrlich, who had been working on the WWII papers and photos belonging to John G. Emery, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and was the third Commander of the American Legion, wanted specific archival materials; Trace Held decided to be adventurous by investigating the records of the 1st Cavalry Division at Ia Drang during the Vietnam War, and Leo Helman wanted to expand his earlier research paper of events on the USS Intrepid during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. These could not have been more diverse activities, yet all three students found significant material which will enable further research—from captivating photos of debris on the deck of the Intrepid following a kamikaze attack, to detailed colored maps from the battle of Ia Drang, and WWI operational maps and casualty reports.

Not all work was in the Archives, and had we more time, an additional field trip would have alternated between Archive days— to either Harper’s Ferry/ Maryland Heights or Gettysburg. After three intense days at the Archives, we headed west to Turner’s Gap/South Mountain and Antietam, which was the “bloodiest single-day battle in American history.” Trace, who has been passionate about the Civil War since he was 10, and has taken numerous special guided tours to just about everywhere important

to Civil War history, was logically designated our guide for Antietam, where he expertly led us through the three phases of the complicated fighting. Then we proceeded to Shepherdstown, West Virginia, where we visited the Elmwood Cemetery and identified some of the Confederate graves, had lunch in a lovely garden, shopped for books, and then continued our drive home.

What has this trip meant to our students? A great deal, not surprisingly. Trace wrote, “all students should experience going to the archives and working with primary resources. It teaches comprehension skills, focus, organization, and being able to think outside the box while figuring out which records to search and how to go about writing your paper. . . .Working in the archives is a once in a lifetime experience that all students and parents should do.” Daniel also wants to go back: “I would love to do this again because there is so much more research to do there (both with the 19th Indiana and with Emery). . . . Three days in the archives is a good sampler, but definitely not enough, I need to come back!” For Leo, “it was an incredibly humbling trip because you realized how, even in extremely influential times, like the Civil War, soldiers would write home to their family just as we would text message our family today.”

Thus, this Archives Field Trip was a perfect way to orient students to the intricacies of research— total tedium balanced out with the excitement of discovery. I wish I had taken a picture of Daniel’s face when he discovered a cache of Civil War letters in one of his pension application files. The thrill was palpable!

Chris Hammock and I encourage students to take advantage of special trips such as this—or to get involved working with original documents gleaned from all our Archives Field Trips through participating in the Legacy Initiative and in the military history electives.

season with a 12-9 record, which was the best record posted by a Park Tudor girls basketball team since the 2011-2012 season.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

The team was very pleased with their Sectional draw and knew they had an opportunity to make a run in the tournament. In their first game, the Panthers blew past Arlington and moved on in the tournament to defeat a tough Scecina team, which earned them the right to advance into the Sectional Championship game against Covenant Christian. The Park Tudor Panthers left it all out on the court, but unfortunately they fell short, ending the year with a 14-10 overall record. The individual and team growth that occurred this season was a step in the right direction to building a highly competitive Park Tudor girls basketball program.

The Panthers entered the 2017-2018 season with two players, Taylee Nibbs and Kamryn Sarratt, who had played significant varsity minutes the previous season. Coach Bass knew that this season could potentially be a rebuilding year with many players contributing and embracing new roles. The Panthers were faced with adversity early on in the season; they competed in many close games, but got off to an 0-5 start. Their record was not indicative of the potential this team could reach. Coach Bass understood that this season would be a process and as long as the girls controlled the following three things (preparation, attitude, effort), success and wins would come. The Panthers finished the first half of their season 5-2, bringing their record to 5-7 before the holiday break.

Coming back from a long holiday break, the Panthers eased back into the second half of their season with a win over Central Christian, then suffered a tough loss to a very good Bethesda Christian team in a double-header game. The team went on to win their next two games, followed by a conference loss to Ritter. Coach Bass approached the second half of the season as practice games and preparation leading up to the big games, which would be their Sectional at Shortridge High School. The girls bought in and started to peak at the right time, finishing the second half of the

BOYS BASKETBALL Although the 2017-2018 season was cut short by a 46-36 Sectional semi-final loss, the boys basketball team has quite a bit to be proud of as a group. Going into the season, it was evident that the squad was going to be young and somewhat inexperienced.

The team was returning only one senior along with only one varsity starter from the previous season. Considering the rigorous schedule that they encountered each week throughout the regular season, the young Panthers battled each and every night, fighting their way through the 64th toughest schedule in the state! The team finished the regular season 4-2 in their last six games and showed great leadership and signs of improvement each time they stepped on the court. Although the team has to

say goodbye to their lone senior, Spenser Hogg, his hard work, dedication and leadership is etched in the program's footprint and we wish him the best of luck in the future. The Panthers have a bright future and possess the potential to be extremely competitive in upcoming seasons. They should be exciting to watch, and the future is bright.

SWIMMING The Park Tudor girls swim team had another successful season and were led by captains Karnika Mehrotra and Lily Erickson.

Our girls' best team finish at a tournament was 7th at the Warren invitational. Junior Margherita Firenze and sophomore Sophia Ling racked up the most individual points, winning their individual events including the 100 breaststroke, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 50 freestyle, 500 freestyle and the 100 backstroke. The girls Sectionals team - Karnika Mehrotra, Margherita Firenze, Nermeen Rahman, Priya Moorthy, Priyanka Ranga, Selene Lam, Sophia Ling, and Sophie Chadderton - gave it their best effort to help the team place 10th at the Sectional tournament. The girls team had nine Academic All-State members for 2018 - the largest group of PT girls swimmers in seven years to earn this honor.

The Park Tudor boys team also had a strong season and were led by team captain Alex Gregory. Our boys' best-placing finish this year at a tournament was 8th at the Warren Invitational. With only four boys returning to finals at the Sectional meet, Riley Aquilano, Jaden Seymour, Ian Wallentine, and Alex Gregory were able to go as fast as their relays from 2017. The final 200 free relay, with 4th place overall, turned out to be the highest placing relay in over seven years. The boys team placed 9th at the Sectional tournament. Captain Alex Gregory broke the school record in the 100 fly twice and qualified for the Indiana boys ISHAA state competition. Alex’s qualification marks the first in seven years.

The boys also had three Academic All-State members for 2018.

HOCKEY The Central Indiana Knights hockey club, which is Park Tudor’s high school hockey team and last year’s 3A State Champion, moved up to the top class this year and finished runner-up to Culver in the 4A State Championship. For the year, the team finished with an impressive 44-11-3 record and ranked second overall in the state.

For the season, Panther Cole Caress, the team’s captain, led the team (and was 4th in the state) in scoring with 40 goals, along with 31 assists, despite missing 15 games mid-season due to an injury. He also earned the Indiana Hobey Baker Character Award, which is the top honor for an elite player who demonstrates the qualities of character and sportsmanship. Finally, Cole was named to the Indiana State High School Hockey Association Academic All-State Team, which honors senior varsity hockey players who have achieved outstanding success in the classroom as well as on the ice.

Alumni Feature: Casey Mitchell Kelley 90 Encourages Kids to Think Outside the Box

By Cathy yingling Chapelle ‘87

Casey Mitchell Kelley ’90 founded her company, Blended Designs, following her wedding in 2014. Initially focused on creating personalized items for brides and grooms, the company soon headed in a completely different direction based on an idea from her then 8-year-old son: he wanted a backpack with his picture on it.

18

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2018

Not convinced at first that anyone else would want a backpack with her son’s image on it, Casey put her consumer insight and analytics background to use and began looking at the marketplace. She soon realized that there were almost no backpacks available for kids that featured African American characters. In fact, through market research Casey found that less than 2% of all of the children’s backpacks available at Wal-Mart included a black character at all, and none featured a black character alone.

“I had never looked at that or thought about it before,” Casey said. “It was really eye-opening. I looked at 670 bags on WalMart’s website; only 14 included a child of color.” Casey continues, “All of the Disney princesses had their own bags, except for Tiana, who was included on a Disney collection bag with a group of other characters. I could only find one solo black character bag, and that was for a toddler.”

Casey saw an opportunity, and made her son the model for her first backpack, the “Carter.” She also took it a step further, incorporating positive and empowering messages into her prod-

ucts. Initially, Casey forecasted that Blended Designs would sell 1,000 units of the backpacks, which launched in March 2017.

“We introduced the backpacks at Black Expo in Indianapolis,” Casey said. “We sold out of 300 bags, in three different designs,

by Saturday morning. The initial response was incredible.”

Black Expo was only the beginning. Instagrammer Yandy Smith-Harris (@yandysmith) discovered the bags and posted about them to her 4.9 million followers, which led to an avalanche of orders - 6,300 by August. “That was the biggest high, and the biggest low,” said Casey. “All of a sudden we had to meet the demands of all of these unexpected orders. We were paying extra for rush production and express shipping; at one point we were paying $8 just to ship each bag. But, I realized that if we had inventory ready, people would buy.”

Since then, orders have been steady and Casey has been able to focus on the future. They’ve changed the company’s branding to make it a bit more premium to compete with other backpack labels like JanSport, and they are changing the name of the bag line

FEATURE to “1954,” the year that schools were desegregated in America.

The company is also working on its business-to-business strategy, including partnering with schools for custom-branded bags.

And, they are growing the charitable component of their business - not only donating a percentage of profits to organizations focused on education, but also pursuing product donations to key organizations. “We donated co-branded bags to the LeBron James Foundation, which also allowed us to adapt our designs for a more diverse audience since that foundation works with children of all races.” Casey adds that Blended Designs is pursuing partnerships with other celebrities who have foundations that focus on education.

Casey notes that her Park Tudor experience has helped her grow her fledgling business. “I’ve worked with several friends from my PT days that have been incredibly valuable to me,” said Casey. “Allison Turner ’89 has helped me with writing content for the website, and Vanessa Stiles ’88 is handling our company’s PR efforts, which will start in May. Jean Feit ’89 went out of her way to help me make connections with some major people in Chicago; I asked for one introduction and she provided me with three.

Lori Stephens Bonner ’90 and Kara Endsley ’88 have been two of my biggest supporters/cheerleaders. Lori let me ship product to her house during Black Expo, and has been there to allow me to cry, scream and laugh through this whole journey. Kara has not only supported me as a customer, but has also made introductions to help within the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) community.”

Casey adds that there is a level of confidence when she works with fellow PT grads that she might not otherwise experience.

“With my Park Tudor connections, I don’t need to see their resumes. I just trust that they know what they are doing,” said Casey.

20

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2018

In addition, Casey said that former Head of School, Bruce Galbraith, and his wife, Karen, have been a source of support and a great sounding board. “Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith spent hours brainstorming ideas with me to grow the brand,” Casey said. “It was amazing to me that he would take so much of his time to help me.”

Casey says that her Park Tudor experience has shaped who she has become in many ways. “If I hadn’t gone to Park Tudor, I would have gone to Arlington High School. I lived in an all-black neighborhood, and would have been attending an all-black school. By going to Park Tudor, I learned how to move through society and understand how people from different backgrounds and cultures think.”

“Park Tudor was also where I learned to organize my thoughts and create a compelling argument, which is absolutely essential as I go out and try to sell my products to various partners,” Casey added. Teachers that inspired Casey during her time at PT included Mrs. Joanne Black, who showed her that women could have careers in math; Mrs. Debbie Everett, because she was so comfortable with who she was and never passed judgment; and Mr. David Malcom - “just because I liked him!” Casey says.

How did receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award impact your life?

The greatest impact the Distinguished Alumni Award had for me was to reconnect me with my time at Park Tudor, and to remind me of the wonderful experience I had during my time there. It frankly was wonderful preparation for university, and positioned me for success both academically and in my later work life.

What is your fondest memory of Park Tudor?

My fondest memory of Park Tudor was probably my time working in the theater technical department with K Williams and the amazing crew of other “techies:” David Kimball, Katie Lieber, Steve Moriarty, Steve Diamond … the list is too long to remember! We had so much fun, learned so much, and put on some great productions! My older son has recently gotten involved in his high school theater, and that’s really brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me.

TOM OSBORNE ’96 - DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENT IN 2006 Then: Co-Artistic Director, Co-Founder, and Conductor of The Ensemble performing group in Southern California “Tom Osborne received degrees in musical composition from Indiana University and Rice University and is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Southern California. He is active as a conductor and pianist, focusing on presenting works by living composers. His works have received numerous awards, including a BMI Student Composer Award, and an award from the Jimmy McHugh composition prize from USC for his orchestral work, The Burning Music. He is co-artistic director, co-founder, and conductor of The Ensemble, which is emerging as one of Southern California’s premier performing groups. Over the past few years many of Osborne’s works have been featured in major venues. In 2005, the New York Symphony premiered Osborne’s The Nostalgia of the Infinite in Carnegie Hall as part of the group’s First Music commissioning program. In 2005, the Pacific Symphony performed The Burning Music as part of the American Composers Competition, in which Osborne was one of three finalists selected from a nationwide pool of hundreds.”

Now: Professor of Music at the University of Hawaii, teaching music courses in composition; and composer What has changed in your life since you received the Distinguished Alumni Award?

I've been collaborating with traditional musicians from China, Japan and Korea, and my wife and I even spent a year in Seoul as part of a Fulbright fellowship. While there I worked with Korean traditional musicians and traveled throughout Asia. The whole experience has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm looking forward to continuing these cultural exchanges.

How did receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award impact your life?

More than anything, the award served as a reminder of the lasting impact of my Park Tudor education and the friends and mentors I was introduced to there. It makes one grateful to have had the privilege of such a strong education.

What is your fondest memory of Park Tudor?

There are many, but lessons with my piano teacher Betty Brock will always stand out. She was a true hidden gem in the Fine Arts building, and she'll be missed.
