Reunion 2014 Well over 1,000 alums returned to campus in June to reconnect with old friends, dine in Paresky Commons, share memories, and catch up on all that has happened since graduation. This year many headed back into the classroom for “Adventures in Astronomy” with physics instructor and PA observatory director Caroline Odden, “The Andover Institute” with Institute director Caroline Nolan, and a personal tour of campus art with artist Chas Fagan ’84. Members of the 50th Reunion class even tried their hand at graffiti art with Artist-in-Residence Chris “Daze” Ellis. Thankfully, rain held off for the annual Alumni Parade. Other reunion highlights included the viewing of the Abbot Academy oral history film The Girls of Abbot: A Memoir by Charlie Stuart ’62 and an interactive State of the Academy presentation by Head of School John Palfrey and Board President Peter Currie ’74.
