Keynote Speaker
Raymond A. Lamontagne ’53 A 2011 inductee into the Andover Athletics Hall of Honor, Ray Lamontagne excelled at multiple sports at Andover. He was a running back on the undefeated 1952 football team (inducted into the AAHOH in 2009) that beat Exeter 59–0. In track, Lamontagne represented Andover on the BAA Relay Team and took first place against Exeter in the broad jump. In baseball, he played center field and won the Coach’s Award, given to the most valuable player; upon graduation from Yale, he was offered a major league contract. Instead, Lamontagne accepted a Yale-in-China teaching fellowship and taught English at New Asia College for two years. He then became a group leader for Crossroads Africa and built a school in Gabon, West Africa. A year after entering Yale Law School, Lamontagne took a leave of absence to join Sargent Shriver in Washington, D.C., as part of a group of early organizers of the Peace Corps. Upon completing law school, Lamontagne joined the staff of John D. Rockefeller 3rd in New York City and was involved with numerous Rockefeller nonprofits. In 1987, when Paul Newman launched his effort to build the Hole in the Wall Camp for children with life-threatening diseases, Lamontagne served as chair of the capital campaign that raised the monies to build the camp—and continues to serve as board chair to this day.
