Reunion 2010 Well over 1,600 alumni, family members, and guests convened on campus for Reunion 2010. Along with reconnecting with classmates, old friends, and favorite teachers, weekend highlights included festive welcome receptions and dinners, a compelling array of classes taught by PA faculty, a sneak peak at the renovated Addison Gallery, thought-provoking alumni panels, and Athletics Hall of Honor inductions. Following the traditional Alumni Parade, this year’s Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association in Cochran Chapel included a special memorial tribute to Ted Sizer, PA headmaster from 1972 to 1981. The Reverend J. Philip Zaeder, Vic Henningsen III ’69, and Sizer’s widow, Nancy, spoke movingly about Sizer’s Andover legacy and national impact on education reform. Also remembered in separate gatherings were former art instructor Diz Bensley ’43 and former coach Steve Sorota and his wife, Stephanie. Hundreds of reunion photos are posted on BlueLink, PA’s online alumni community. To S ee more, go to http://bluelinkalumni.andover.edu.
