30 ❖ Solebury School Magazine Summer/Fall 2009
For the first time in years, the Friday evening cocktail party and dinner was held at the Head of School’s home. The tent was situated behind the house, overlooking the main campus on a warm but foggy evening. Hosted by Tom and Rebecca Wilschutz, the lovely dinner was prepared by Max Hansen ’77 of Max Hansen Caterers. Though it was a smaller crowd, those who returned enjoyed reconnecting with old classmates and friends. It was great for her classmates to see Frances Martin Malone ’59 return back to the school for the first time in 50 years! Welcome back Frances! On Saturday morning, Tom Wilschutz and Director of Finance, Doug Haigh gave the State of the School address. Doug said that, in view of the current economic problems, the school had undertaken a series of measures to prepare for the possibility of a lower enrollment. The school’s financial position remains strong and the steps taken should enable it to stay that way. Later on Saturday morning, a memorial service was held. Led by Tom Wilschutz, visiting alumni gathered to remember fellow alumni who have passed. Saturday afternoon brought the burger and beer bash back at the Head’s home, with a nice turnout of younger alumni. Remember to mark your calendars for next year’s reunion weekend, April 30 – May 2, 2010. ❖
