Doing What We Do: Preparing Students for Their Futures As I reflect on my first year leading St. Mark’s, I am filled with both gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. The mission of preparing our students for their futures continues to inspire me daily. At St. Mark’s, we are committed to upholding our deep traditions while thoughtfully embracing the change and challenge that lie ahead. We are cultivating qualities that will empower our students to thrive in an ever-evolving world. I am honored to serve alongside a community that shares this vital mission, and I look forward to what we will accomplish together in the year to come. recommits itself to preparing young people for their futures–an endeavor that is timeless. Our school prides itself on deep relationships, thoughtful challenge, and purposeful growth. This dedication to meaningful transformation has shaped generations of St. Markers and continues to guide our path today.

As Head of School, I am acutely aware that over time, a school takes on the flavor of its leadership. I approach this responsibility with humility and embrace it with intention.

EACH YEAR ST. MARK’S SCHOOL

ST. MARK’S | FALL 2025

My own experiences–as a student, a scientist, an educator, and now as a steward of this institution–inform my conviction that high standards, an attitude of excellence, and a commitment to teams and community must be pursued not as isolated ideals, but as an integrated way of life.

What does this mean for a school that benefits from a rich tradition and needs to navigate the ever-shifting landscape of our world? I offer some ideas on foundational qualities and eternal skills we wish to cultivate in our students.

A FOUNDATION THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME

St. Mark’s believes that strong relationships between faculty and students form the bedrock of a transformational education.

In our close-knit residential community, students are known, challenged, supported, and inspired–not just by faculty in the classroom, but by all adults including staff, coaches, dorm parents, advisors, and each other.

This model has enduring power.

While the world around us continues to accelerate–technologically, socially, and culturally–we remain steadfast in our belief that personal connection is the foundation of meaningful learning. From this base, we can foster the development of a full person. One who is intellectually capable, emotionally mature, ethically grounded, and justifiably confident in navigating the unpredictable life ahead of them.

It is no surprise that our graduates go on to live lives of consequence–not only because they possess strong academic preparation, but because they have refined the following traits: » Curiosity, allows us to remain intellectually open and agile. » Empathy, allows us to effectively work with and learn from others. » Resilience, allows us to persevere through challenge and ambiguity.

These qualities are not accidental. They are the result of a deliberately demanding program led by dedicated faculty, which asks students to do more than they think is possible, and offers them tremendous growth in return. While many aspects of the future remain unpredictable, we will continue to prepare our students by developing these enduring attributes, since they transcend any specific discipline or profession.

Our school fosters these lasting human-centered qualities, and I am confident they will enable our students to enjoy lives of consequence no matter what the future holds. On top of these foundational qualities, we need to build useful skills.

Therein lies one of the fundamental challenges of educating young people–what skills will be persistently useful? In a world of rapid technological, social, and cultural change, ideally St. Mark’s will focus its attention on equipping our students with skills that will be eternal.

FRO M T HE D E S K O F

DEFINING THE ETERNAL ARTS: A DISTINCTIVE VISION FOR EDUCATION

It has been commonly accepted that a grounding in the Liberal Arts benefits students and supports their transition into capable and effective adults; however, the modern-day constitution of these ‘Arts’ is difficult to identify with precision. Schools that are quite different from each other claim to have programs aligned with the Liberal Arts.

Classically the artes liberales, or Liberal Arts, were those areas of study thought to be ‘worthy of a free person’ and were defined by specific subjects rather than skills. They were the combination of the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and the quadrivium (music, astronomy, arithmetic, and geometry). Modern education, which claims to be built on the Liberal Arts, has deviated from the original conception. Interestingly, the artes liberales were conceptualized as a contrast to the so-called artes mechanicae, or the mechanical arts, which focused on practical technical domains like agriculture, trade, and craftmanship.

Remarkably, success in the modern world is found by individuals who are capable of both free- and critical-thinking, as well as practical and technical ability.

Understandably, the separation of the artes was established in antiquity; however, as the world continues to change, we might collectively benefit from merging the classical arts in a way that helps students to be both productive and fulfilled. We need our students to be capable at both thinking and doing.

An essential shortcoming in the definition of the Liberal Arts education stems from an attempt to answer the question of ‘what should we teach?’ with a subject-matter response–we teach grammar, arithmetic, and music. Instead, we should respond with a more fundamental truth–we teach humans and that will never change. Thus, we should focus our attention on human-centered metaskills that will be persistently relevant, as they are connected to our humanity. All students

will benefit from a focus on what I offer as the artes aeternae, or Eternal Arts: » Leadership is the ability to guide others. » Judgement supports the ability to make effective decisions. » Open-mindedness fosters the ability to seek new ideas and revise beliefs.

Once again, these skills are domain-agnostic and might be referred to as metaskills, since they cannot be taught by memorization and rote exercises. Instead, they require intentional cultivation via situational application, practice, reflection, and feedback. Interestingly, as you might imagine, it would be absurd to offer transcript-grades for these essential meta-skills.

The artes aeternae are not wholly new; rather, they are a reframing of the arts of antiquity. However, a program grounded in enduring human skills will not be made obsolete by technology–an eternal program. One approach is to focus on areas that are indelibly tied to the human experience, rendering our approach both AI-proof and perpetually valuable.

DOING WHAT WE DO

None of the above is possible without a cultural belief in young people’s capacity to grow.

At St. Mark’s, we demand more than students think they can give, while also supporting them along the way. That is not a contradiction–it is the heart of good education.

Our faculty are not merely instructors but coaches, cheerleaders, and mentors.

We understand that the best learning often begins with productive struggle, and we aim to create the conditions in which students feel safe enough to take intellectual and personal risks. It should not be easy.

It is no accident that many of our alumni and current students can name adults who saw something in them, believed in them, and held them to a high standard. Those

high standards were goals that likely seemed, at first, too difficult to achieve. However, belief comes before ability. Effort, appropriately guided, can lead to accomplishments supporting justified self-confidence every alumnus will need in their futures.

THE WORK AHEAD

In the coming years, St. Mark’s will make strategic choices to deepen our identity and expand our impact. We will invest in areas of distinctiveness and, while it is too early to identify specific programmatic elements, we will seek to offer a program nested within the Eternal Arts. In this way, we will prepare our students for whatever future lies ahead.

Rather than emulating other schools, we will build thoughtfully on our own foundation, drawing strength from our rich history and thoughtful community. We will attract faculty and staff who can support our program and intuitively understand the value of strong supportive and challenging relationships with students, something that requires exceptional time and attention. We will enroll students who are eager to grow– not just in GPA or accolades, but in traits and skills outlined above, since this will continue to prepare students not only for college, but for lives of meaning and consequence.

St. Mark’s is a school that believes in doing hard things, because that is where the learning lies. It is a school that believes in cooperation over self-interest, because the problems that matter most can only be solved together.

Above all, it is a school that believes in the power of young people, and in our shared responsibility to guide them wisely and well.

This is not easy work. But it is the right work, and it is our great privilege to do it.

to Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks?” Rob Calagione ’04 asks students in his microeconomics class, knowing almost all will raise a hand.

“How many people were working when you were there?” He continues. “Why that number?”

In this particular lesson, during the second to last unit of Calagione’s semester-long fall course, the focus is on specialization and diminishing returns. Students have already studied supply and demand, consumer influences, and how firms operate. Before introducing more jargon and terminology, Calagione wants them to first “WHO’S RECENTLY BEEN

understand the economic concept. That’s why he’s set up his classroom with two tables and tasked pairs of students to use one set of tongs to put as many beans as they can—one bean at a time—into a cup. They have 20 seconds to complete the task using only the tongs. In each subsequent round of this exercise, students may hire an additional employee to help them and improve efficiency.

While they work, Calagione tracks the data for each group and every round on the white board. After four or five rounds, students stop to graph the collected data—and soon realize their graphs look a lot like those in their text book, Kruman’s Economics for the AP Course.

Each graph depicts a big jump at the start as workers are added, then levels off, reflecting diminishing returns. Through this energizing opening exercise, students see that adding more workers allows for specialization in tasks, and therefore greater efficiency; however, they also learn that you can exhaust specialization. If you put too many people behind the counter at Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks—or at a table in a classroom, using tongs to place beans in a cup—eventually they’ll begin to bump into each other, and production will suffer as a result.

As students discover in Calagione’s class, “Economics are all around them.”

And during the 15 years that he has been teaching both microeconomics and macroeconomics, Calagione has found that getting students up and moving and involved in simulations is much more engaging than just having them sit at their desks and graph. Plus, a little healthy competition adds to the fun! In addition to exercises like this one, students also develop portfolios and use virtual money to invest in the stock market.

While there are no official prerequisites for the course, it is composed mainly of VI

From coffee shops to classroom simulations, Calagione‘s students learn how supply, demand, and specialization shape the world around them.

Formers and a few V Formers who have previously taken U.S. History. This year, Calagione—who holds the Bill and Peg Barber endowed teaching chair and is now in his seventeenth year of service at St. Mark’s—teaches two sections of microeconomics and 32 students enrolled in the course. He also teaches a government class along with two macroeconomics courses in the spring, while mentoring a Farmer UPenn Fellow in the History and Social Sciences Department, advising students, and serving as Head coach of varsity boys’ baseball.

When Calagione was a student at St. Mark’s, there were no economics courses on offer. After graduating, he attended Wake Forest University, where he encountered his first economics class and a particularly memorable and challenging first exam. Calagione ultimately minored in economics, later earning a master’s degree at Dartmouth College during three summers in their MALS (Master of Arts in Liberal Studies) program; while there, he seized the opportunity to audit several undergraduate

economics courses to see how they were taught.

Whenever Calagione plans a lesson, he always tries to keep this key question in mind: “How do you make it relevant?”

Ensuring that what he is teaching—and what students are learning—is applicable and pertinent is of the utmost importance to him, which is why he aims to make as many real-world connections as possible.

A couple of years ago, during Lion Term, Calagione brought students to New York City to meet with alumni currently working in finance, including a few of his former economics students. This opportunity afforded St. Markers a chance to ask questions and discuss authentic applications of concepts learned in class with those who manage and invest money for a living—just one example of the many firsthand experiences the School strives to offer, so students can connect their learning directly and personally to the broader world beyond the classroom.

By the time St. Markers conclude a semester of study in one of Calagione’s microeconomics classes, they will learn about different market structures. And while perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition are progressively more difficult concepts for them to grasp, this exposure to Economics 101 in high school prepares students for material they will encounter, if they take an economics course in college.

“I want to make that first class easier,” says Calagione, noting that the information students learn in economics enables them to better understand public policy and monetary decisions, such as those implemented by the Federal Reserve. In addition, economics helps St. Markers analyze current events because it provides them with excellent analytical tools. As Calagione says, “It equips students to understand the world around them.”

IN BRIEF

Get to Know the New Administrators to introduce five new administrators who joined the leadership team this year. Please extend a warm welcome to Elizabeth Dionne, Robert Fish, Christina Kennedy, Amy Kumpel, and Dan Mercurio. “They are enthusiastic and experienced and will serve our school and students well,” shared Head of School Ivory Hills.

ST. MARK’S IS PROUD

Chief Financial Officer Elizabeth Dionne arrived in March, bringing a wealth of experience in strategic leadership, finance, and operational excellence to St. Mark’s. Throughout her career, Elizabeth has worked in public accounting, non-profits, and higher education, solving complex challenges, leading teams with empathy, and driving innovative initiatives. Most recently, she served as vice president for finance at College of the Holy Cross, where she played a critical role in transforming financial operations, mentoring high-performing teams, and implementing solutions to improve institutional efficiency. She has also held leadership roles at Boston University, the New England Conservatory, and the University of Wisconsin. Elizabeth’s technical acumen, collaborative spirit, and approachability are valuable assets, and she is committed to setting high expectations, fostering a culture of support, and finding solutions that benefit all at St. Mark’s.

“As the education landscape continues to evolve, I am energized by the challenge of aligning operational strategy with mission-driven impact,” Elizabeth said.

“I love bringing together all the moving parts—finance, HR, risk, and culture—to support a school’s long-term health with clarity and care. This work also feels deeply 8

personal; I come from a family with strong roots in education, and I’ve intentionally built my career around institutions that serve with purpose.”

Dean of Students and Assistant Head of School Robert Fish has worked in education and the non-profit sector for over thirty years. Rob arrived at St. Mark’s from The Masters School in New York, where he served as dean of global studies and dean of the ninth grade. In these roles, he helped develop the culture of each incoming class and grow a vibrant global program through multiple partner school relationships around the world. Rob also taught history, directed a dormitory, and coached multiple sports. Previously, he served as the director of the education program at the Japan Society of New York, taught in the New Jersey public school system and was an assistant professor of East Asian history at Indiana State University.

He earned his bachelor’s degree at Yale University, his master’s in educational administration at New York University, and his doctorate in Modern Japanese history at the University of Hawaii. Rob lives on campus with his wife, Emi, and their dog, and they have two sons in college. In his free time, he loves to play golf, read, cook, and root for the New York Mets.

“I am excited to get to know all of the students here, and most importantly to make sure that all students are fully seen and heard, even if their voices are quiet,” Rob said. “St. Mark’s brings students and adults from all over the world together, and forming a community in which everyone shows up, is fully present, and learns from one another is a special opportunity.”

Dean of Academics and Assistant Head of School Christina Kennedy (“CK”) has lived and worked in independent and boarding schools for more than two decades, noting that she is “drawn to the unique learning that happens in communities where students live, learn, and break bread together daily.” As the daughter of a head of school, CK spent several of her formative years abroad, attending international schools in Moscow and Frankfurt, where the International Baccalaureate program sparked her enduring love of interdisciplinary learning.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Bowdoin College and a master’s degree from Wesleyan University, and has served in various roles—from math department chair to freshman dean to honor committee advisor—across a range of schools, including St. Andrews School, Phoenix Charter Academy, and Pingree School. Prior to her arrival at St. Mark’s, CK was the dean of academics at Tabor Academy. A teacher at heart, she has also coached, advised, and lived in dorms for much of her career. CK’s family–her husband, three kids, and their Portuguese Water Dog–love to travel, Nordic ski, mountain bike, and sample every bakery and cafe they can find.

“I’m excited to collaborate with thoughtful, caring, and innovative colleagues, both new and returning, to shape

I N BRI E F

an academic program that challenges, inspires, and prepares our students,” shared CK. “I love working in teams to build experiences that foster curiosity, a love of learning, and a strong sense of community. I want to inspire students to care deeply about their learning, their preparation for the future, and, most importantly, about one another.”

Dean of Faculty and Assistant Head of School Amy Kumpel has also been teaching and leading in independent schools for over twenty years. Most recently, Amy served as director of the upper school at Dana Hall where she oversaw operations for grades 9-12, including hiring, faculty support and development, curriculum and academic policies, advising and learning resources, residential life, student activities, and student progress. Prior to Dana Hall, Amy enjoyed more than a decade at Concord Academy, where she was the science department head and taught several math and science courses, including precalculus, trigonometry, algebra, accelerated physics, and engineering design. Amy also chaired the STEM Equity Task Force and co-chaired the Faculty Evaluation and Professional Development Task Force.

Amy’s teaching career includes positions at the Paideia School, as well as Gann Academy. She earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in English from Tufts University and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Amy also holds a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

“As the spouse of a loyal and dedicated St. Marker (Julie Merritt ’96), I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power

of a St. Mark’s education and the deep sense of community it fosters,” shared Amy. “It is evident that the faculty and staff here want to be pulling in the same direction—toward what’s best for the students—and that is at the heart of why we are here.”

Chief Communications Officer Dan Mercurio is well-versed in strategic communications, brand storytelling, and institutional advancement. He previously led communications and marketing efforts at the College of the Holy Cross and Boston University. Prior to his appointment at St. Mark’s, Dan served as assistant head of school and director of marketing and communications at the Bancroft School, where he also coached the girls’ varsity basketball team to the playoffs three seasons in a row. Dan’s energy and enthusiasm, care for the community, and passion for student development is evident in his work, and he understands that communications are about more than polished messaging; they should tell the authentic story of a school. His experience refining a school’s voice, transforming auxiliary programs, and crafting compelling messages through speechwriting, digital content, crisis communications, and community publications will serve St. Mark’s well.

“From my first visit [to St. Mark’s], I felt an unmistakable energy, a vibrant blend of tradition, innovation, and genuine care that immediately made me feel energized and excited to be a part of it,” shared Dan. “My goal is to strengthen the bonds between St. Mark’s and its community by celebrating our traditions, elevating our voices, and inviting more people to experience what makes this place so special. I am looking forward to helping to tell the authentic story of a school with such a rich history and bright future.”

I started in CAD, moved to driving at FIRST competitions, and, influenced by two upperclassmen mentors, shifted into mechanical build. By V Form, I was the first driver and a steady builder for the team. What I love about robotics is the balance of freedom and responsibility: you teach yourself a skill one night and apply it the next day.

With his support, I could choose my own lens, follow a hunch, and build an argument from the lines that grabbed my attention. He didn’t push a single “correct” reading. Instead, he valued clear thinking, strong evidence, and originality. That freedom allowed me to bring in perspectives from philosophy, psychology, and other fields.

For example, in The Handmaid’s Tale, I used Michel Foucault’s theories on power to analyze how Jezebel turns Moira’s rebellion into something the system can manage.

What began as a two-page response grew into a six-page essay that won the Coleman Prize in English.

campus, so conversations continue beyond the school day. My advisor, Mr. Palmer, has been especially important. I first got to know him through robotics, and he has supported me ever since, helping me shape research ideas, checking in on my social life, celebrating wins, addressing small worries, and even advising on endof-year packing dilemmas. Teachers, coaches, dorm parents, and mentors all make themselves available outside of class. For example, Dr. Plumb devoted her own time to our student-led musical.

These relationships feel genuine, not limited to academics, and they’ve made it easier for me to ask for help, try new things, and feel truly connected to the community.

10 years have passed since St. Mark’s opened the doors to its stateof-the-art STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Center.

Dedicated on October 2, 2015, the three-story, 25,000 square-foot building ushered in a new era for the School, providing students and faculty with bright and airy open-plan classrooms, hands-on maker spaces, a robotics lab, and all-new biology, chemistry, and physics labs along with several collaboration spaces.

As we celebrate the 10-year anniversary, it seems only fitting to recognize the partnerships that made this strategic project possible and to reflect on the innovative programs preparing St. Mark’s students for their futures.

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE

A TEAM APPROACH TO STEM

There’s no “I” in TEAM. The same is true for STEM. And bringing the vision of this collaborative building to life required a true team effort.

It all began with St. Mark’s 2020, the School’s comprehensive strategic plan, which included the STEM Initiative. Thanks to a generous $4.8 million gift from alumnus and former trustee Edward Taft ’69 and his wife Pamela Jenney Taft, and a $1.5 million challenge grant from an anonymous foundation, the School was able to greenlight the major renovation of its historic main building. A genuine partnership, numerous alumni, parents, and organizations contributed a total of $10 million to help make this project a reality.

On July 28, 2014, R.W. Sullivan engineering began demolition of the three-level portion of the former building adjacent to the math wing.

The foundation for the STEM Center was poured in early October, and by early December, VI Formers enjoyed signing the final beam before it was raised. As snow piled high on the ground in January and temperatures dipped below freezing, the sheathing went up, followed by the exterior brick in April. Consigli Construction managed the entire $14.6 million addition, which was designed by Architectural Resources Cambridge

(ARC). In just over a year, the project was completed, and students arrived on campus in the fall of 2015 to a brand-new building, and newly renovated math wing, better equipped to facilitate teaching and learning.

“The design of the STEM Center opens up limitless possibilities for St. Mark’s students to initiate learning matched to their individual interests— from building robots to DNA research,” remarked ARC Principal Jan Taylor.

The STEM Center’s new labs and classrooms were now “rich with technology and highly flexible,” and included modular work benches and fixed utilities located along the perimeter, which could be easily reconfigured to facilitate group work or accommodate diverse needs. Not only did the building’s design meet all critical project goals set by the steering committee— including integrating sustainable features—but the STEM Center also supported the School’s objectives of expanding science and math integration and fostering creative problem-solving in a team setting.

And as previous Head of School John C. Warren ’74 remarked in his Head’s Reflection for the 20152016 Annual Report: “The state-of-the-art STEM Center and STEM Program ensure that every St. Mark’s student gains the fundamental STEM

knowledge necessary to make responsible decisions and life choices, while also ensuring that students with a deep STEM interest gain the knowledge and skills for further accomplishments in college and beyond.”

“My particular interest was in helping to integrate STEM skills throughout the entire curriculum, not just in science and engineering,” shared lead donor and former trustee Ed Taft ’69, a third generation St. Marker whose passion for computer science was ignited at the School.

For the last decade, the STEM Center’s topnotch facilities, like the Shen Family Biotech Lab, the Hung Family Chemistry Lab, the Patrick Robotics Room, and the Fab Lab, have supported St. Mark’s educational objectives—to think critically and creatively, to discover and make meaning, and to communicate skillfully in a variety of modes—helping students work together to discover creative solutions to problems as they simultaneously learn to communicate across disciplines.

The St. Mark’s faculty have made excellent use of these resources to facilitate learning, prepare students for college, and introduce them to career opportunities in STEM. Currently, 23 Science and Mathematics Department faculty teach a variety of STEM classes, including several advanced courses in Statistics, AB Calculus, BC Calculus, Topics in Mathematics, Mathematical Research, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, in addition to the Taft STEM Research Fellowship.

an academic endeavor that spans the entire calendar year and requires significant independent scholarship. To be considered for the fellowship, students must submit a three-part portfolio in the spring of their V Form year. Typically, between 15 and 25 students apply, and four to 12 are accepted. Fellows work beyond the advanced level in their chosen course of study, beginning with summer research to formulate their projects. In the fall, they determine a program of study and apply to science fairs; throughout the winter, they conduct research and put together a lab and procedure; and during the spring, they prepare presentations, write a research paper, and try to publish it in a high school journal.

The culmination of each fellow’s research includes a public presentation to peers, faculty, and experts in the field.

Taft STEM fellows also routinely participate in—and excel at—regional and state science fairs, often earning awards for their impressive research projects. In 2022, three fellows earned awards at the regional fair in Worcester, Mass., including Grand Prize Winner Jackie Zatsiorsky ’22, who went on to compete with approximately 1,700 students from more than 75 countries at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The following year, at the state Massachusetts Science and Engineering Fair (MSEF), Sophie Chiang ’23 won the Pauline J.

Lamarche Award for a project that displayed excellence in design and implementation, while Jiayi Yu ’23 and Arianne Motakef ’23 earned honorable mentions.

In 2024, seven fellows participated in the MSEF at Gillette Stadium, including Jia Anand ’24, who took home the Sanofi grand prize for the highest scoring project overall out of more than 350 participants. Avery Leonard ’24 also fared well that year, winning the Alnylam Excellence in Bioscience Award for the top biology project. Like Zatsiorsky, Anand and Leonard qualified as delegates for the ISEF. Fun fact: ever since Desmond Goodwin ’16 became the first fellow to qualify for the ISEF, St. Mark’s Taft STEM fellows have qualified for this world’s largest pre-college STEM competition almost every year. The fellows’ success at these competitive science fairs is a testament to their hard work and the support and guidance they receive from St. Mark’s faculty mentors.

“I am so proud of all the fellows, and it is so nice to see a few of them given this extra recognition,” says the fellowship’s first director, biology teacher Lindsey Lohwater P’29.

“Kids come here and find a real calling through this program,” adds current fellowship director and science teacher David Palmer.

THE TAFT STEM FELLOWSHIP: HANDS-ON LEARNING, REAL-WORLD RESEARCH

Launched in 2012, the Taft STEM Fellowship was also part of the School’s strategic plan. For the last 13 years, the fellowship has offered numerous St. Mark’s students a valuable opportunity for in-depth exploration of a specific area of interest in STEM while fostering important skills needed for high-level scientific research. Fellows work with faculty and mentors from area labs and hospitals, including college professors and graduate students, to design and conduct their own experiments and apply their research to current challenges, such as Alzheimer’s disease, infertility, cancer, or climate change.

Acceptance to—and successful participation in—the fellowship program requires committing to

Several students who participate in the fellowship do, in fact, go on to study STEM in college and work in STEM fields. Lilly Drohan ’16 is one such student who discovered a passion for research sparked at St. Mark’s during her V Form Advanced Biology Class with Lohwater. The summer before participating in the Taft STEM fellowship, Drohan enjoyed the opportunity to intern and learn from St. Mark’s alumnus Dr. Michael Jensen ’82, an internationally recognized leader in the field of CAR T-cell immunotherapy. Based in Seattle, Dr. Jensen was founding director of the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research.

Following her internship with Dr. Jensen, Drohan spent three days a week for several months in a lab at UMass Medical School alongside Dr. Kate Fitzgerald, who mentored Drohan throughout her fellowship research project on inhibiting Heat Shock Protein 90 to stop the influenza virus from spreading. “I had great exposure to all of the various roles in research; to doctors and specialists; lab technicians, and PhD students,” says Drohan of her Taft STEM fellowship experience.

Samantha Leslie ’20 also participated in an internship with Dr. Jensen and is currently pursuing

a doctorate in cellular and molecular biology.

And Alexandra Mills ’14, who was one of the first fellows, is currently pursuing a medical degree at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

The fellowship is a prime example of how St. Mark’s commitment to STEM and investment in the STEM Center has facilitated exceptional educational opportunities for students. The ample resources provided support students as they pursue passion projects and literally get their hands dirty by digging into all kinds of interesting STEM explorations, including Robotics.

ROBOTICS: CULTIVATING CREATIVITY, COOPERATION, AND CRITICAL PROBLEMSOLVING SKILLS

For Allyson Brown P’26, who has been teaching mathematics at St. Mark’s for more than two decades, the School’s focus on integrating STEM programs has meant more support for the FIRST Robotics Competition Team (3566 Gone Fishin’) as well as the creation of a FIRST LEGO League Team community service program (Can of Worms) for local third through eighth grade children, which

began in 2014 and continues today.

FIRST Robotics Competitions combine “the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology” and offer high school students and their adult mentors the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem. Retired teacher Ken Wells P’13 started and led the initial Robotics Team at the School in 2010, and they began competing in 2011. Since then, the team has been mentored by a number of faculty, including Brown and Palmer, who are leading it this year along with Autumn Glen and Ethan Parks. The team meets throughout the winter season to design, build, and program a robot that is prepared to tackle challenges and complex games at that year’s FIRST Robotics Competition.

In March 2019, The St. Mark’s Robotics Team competed at the NE FIRST Southeastern Massachusetts District Meet, and came home with the event’s Autonomous Award, sponsored by Ford.

Their robot—named “Kevin”—featured a pneumatic hatch-placement system, as well as a climbing feature which used pneumatic air tubes to lift the robot to a second level in the robot landing area.

The following year, in March 2020, the Robotics

The 2020 team also advanced from a ranking of 14th out of 213 teams in New England to second place overall, after competing at the FIRST Robotics New England District event in Connecticut.

During the pandemic, Robotics Team member Carl Gau ’22 learned and subsequently taught CAD (Computer Aided Design) remotely to his St. Mark’s peers. Another Robotics team member, Thomas Li ’22, published an article on space technology in the January/February 2020 issue of IEEE Xplore (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is a professional association for electronic engineering and electrical engineering).

“Robotics is such an impactful component of space technology because it enables so much more to happen in the field of space exploration,” said Li. In August 2019, Reina Wang ’22 shared her passion for robotics and STEM when she brought the Blue Suitcase LEGO Robotics Program to students in Islamabad, Pakistan. Introducing and encouraging an interest in STEM among children in countries where educational opportunities are scarce was part of the program’s mission, which involved a hands-on workshop led by Wang, to teach basic engineering and programming skills.

“During the LEGO workshop, I first introduced our School’s robotics team, showing them our new STEM building, the FIRST Robotics Competition we went to, and the robots we built from previous years. They were impressed by what we did and became more and more interested in STEM,” shared Wang, explaining how she worked with the students to build and program LEGO cars with touch sensors.

“The engineering part is about creativity,” Wang added, recognizing how robotics does more than enhance logic and problem-solving skills; it cultivates cooperation and communication. And as the saying goes, it takes teamwork to make the dream work.

STEM FOR THE FUTURE

students for their futures, we recognize that advancements in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are occurring rapidly—and access to information is changing our lives drastically. No matter how much—or how quickly— our world evolves, there will always be a need for innovative solutions to increasingly complex problems.

All St. Mark’s students will continue to benefit from a STEM program that promotes critical thinking and analysis, cultivates curiosity and skillful communication, and encourages creative problem-solving that will serve them well long after they leave campus.

As Head of School Dr. Ivory Hills observed, “By grounding students in essential skills and cultivating key attributes, we equip them for success in any field.”

ST. MARK’S ANNUAL REPORT 2024-2025

Attendance at events was at an alltime high last year, as alumni, current parents, former parents, faculty, and friends came to meet Dr. Hills, his wife Dr. Chrissy Kopp, and daughter Sophie, and to hear Dr. Hills’ observations and early thoughts on St. Mark’s future. Dr. Hills traversed the globe with advancement staff, traveling to New York several times, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Palm Beach, Florida, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Los Angeles, and all over New England. It was indeed a treat for us to see so many St. Markers come out to greet and meet him, and to share their thoughts, their love for the School, and their hopes for its continued growth and strength.

Listed on the pages that follow are loyal St. Markers who chose to make a generous gift to the School last year. We are grateful to each and every one of you. A couple of statistics spring out to me worthy of celebration: » The Annual Fund reached $2,711,293, the first time we have broken the $2.7 million mark with the exception of 2021 when special COVID emergency outreach was made. » Current Parents gave $1,014,840 to the Annual Fund with 68% parent participation. » Reunion classes contributed $448,202 to the Annual Fund, a very important piece of our success. » The three top reunion classes in giving participation were 1975 (winning at 90.7%), 1960 (at

83%), and 1955 (at 80%). Also, a very honorable mention goes to the next class in line, the Class of 2005, with an impressive 39% participation. Well done! » Overall, the School received $4,409,765 in new gifts and pledges last year, in addition to $1,437,657 in pledge fulfillments from prior years. » St. Mark’s also received one estate bequest last year of $256,555.

None of this would be possible without steadfast, loyal volunteers, and I would like to personally thank our Board of Trustees, all the Class Agents, Reunion Committee Members, and last year’s Annual Fund Co-Chairs: Bruce Morgan ’70, Julie Merritt ’96, and Matthew Golding ’13.

Finally, our thanks go to John Cataldo P’25 and Elana Whelan P’25, ’26 (Parent AF Co-Chairs), our terrific Parent Form Leaders and parent volunteers who alongside Parents’ Association chairs Stephen ’84 and Juli Hodi P’26 did a wonderful job informing, contacting, and fundraising from parents throughout the year.

On behalf of a grateful School, thank you for making a difference in the St. Mark’s of today and even more importantly, the St. Mark’s of tomorrow.

Go Lions!

Sincerely,

An Interview with Patricia Branch ’04 became Head of Strategy for NBA Africa. Over Zoom from her office in Nairobi, Kenya, a glass wall adorned with basketballs behind her, Patricia spoke about the opportunities and challenges of growing the game, and how a desire for impact propelled her to pursue a new career path.

Global Paths, St. Mark’s Roots Two graduates turn a shared passion into lives of global impact and service. in Southborough to the sunsoaked streets of Spain, and now across continents through curated travel experiences as co-workers, Jenna Levandowski ’13 and Charlotte Clayson ’14 have journeyed far—but always with their St. Mark’s values as a compass.

The two alumnae first connected as students at St. Mark’s School, bonded by a love for language, culture, and adventure. Both were bitten by the travel bug while on a St. Mark’s Summer program in Segovia, Spain in the summer of 2011, alongside their Spanish teacher, Neil Cifuentes, who now serves as the School’s Director of Global Citizenship. That summer trip to Spain that Mr. Cifuentes led left an indelible mark.

Jenna recalls: “It wasn’t just sightseeing. We were immersed—living with host families, navigating unfamiliar cities, speaking Spanish every day. It taught me independence, curiosity, and how to be comfortable outside my comfort zone.” That experience planted seeds for what would become a passion for exploration.

14 years after that transformational trip, Jenna and Charlotte are now colleagues at Indagare, a membership-based luxury travel agency and media company that combines curated content with high-touch planning, leveraging the power of its global community. As Senior Marketing Manager, Jenna works from Denver, where she crafts digital campaigns and manages partnerships that inspire members to explore the world with intention.

Charlotte, based in San Francisco, is a Trip Designer, working closely with clients to design unforgettable itineraries, and by unlocking behindthe-scenes access and perks they can’t find anywhere else. Though they live in different states, their

work keeps them closely connected—and their shared foundation in global learning continues to guide their approach. “At Indagare, we’re all about travel with purpose,” says Charlotte. “We believe in the power of travel to move us by offering different perspectives and to have a positive impact on the places we visit.”

Both women have now traveled extensively—through Europe, Asia, South America, and beyond. But for them, the destination is never the only goal. “At Indagare, we say that How You Travel Matters,” Jenna says. Indagare inspires and empowers people to change their lives—and the world—through travel.”

The spirit of St. Mark’s—its emphasis on cooperation over self-interest and the call to explore one’s place in the larger world—remains deeply embedded in their lives. Whether coordinating a trip with local guides in Morocco, partnering with Vogue on curated Group Trips, or updating an Oaxaca destination guide, Jenna and Charlotte are examples of how a small school in Massachusetts can have a truly global reach.

“St. Mark’s taught us that collaboration and curiosity open the door to the wider world.

Whether we’re building connections across cultures or creating new travel experiences, we carry those lessons with us every day.”

David DiCicco shares, “My wife and I are enjoying retirement while dodging health bullets and seeing the country suffer under the current president’s leadership. I continue to be active, enjoying golf and skiing.

I write a fiction blog daily, which is both fun and a nice way to stay connected with friends. I’m sorry to read about the loss of several of my classmates.” (Photo 1) 1961

George Ragland writes, “I retired from the practice of law at the end of 2016. Was a trust and estates lawyer, like Jonathan Carlisle, in a large firm.

I am now trying to keep my mind and body active, taking courses at Wake Forest University, working out regularly, and helping maintain a farm that has been in my family for about 200 years.

My wife, Susan, and I have been married for 58 years. She is the perennial, hands-down winner of the Tolerance Award. Our two kids, first a girl, then a boy (a Groton grad), live in Covington, Louisiana, and Asheville, North Carolina, respectively. Each has three children, ranging from a 28-year-old who works for a cryptocurrency firm in NYC, to 14-year-old twin boys whose lives 70

seem to revolve around sports.

During the last several years, I have had brief email exchanges with Ping and Svein, and enjoyable phone conversations with Rusty, Felix, and my roommate Bill Snape. On a flight between New York and Florida, Tim Palmer stopped in Winston-Salem for a lunch visit. Otherwise, I have been remiss about staying in touch with my classmates. Would like to hear from some of them about what has been going on in their lives.”

1961

Peter Walker wriites, “Susie and I are living happily in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire in a Taylor retirement community. Our family has grown to a total of 30, 6 children,16 grandchildren with one granddaughter married. Life is good!

Jonathan Carlisle shares, “The pivotal aspect of my fortunate life is my amazing wife Michele and our three kids who thanks to her are amazing.

My two sons are: son Jay 52 an ornithologist PhD in Boise who with his wife Heidi run Intermountain Bird Observatory, BSU supported, and my grands are Felix 4 and Phoebe 2. My daughter Salona 50 an accomplished yoga professional in and around Westport, CT. Michele and I work and are devoted/addicted to working.

Chris Darlington writes, “Muriel and I celebrated our 50 years together in 2023 by joining a two week tour of New Zealand, both North and South Islands. It was super. Luckily we went when we did, (carpe diem, as Mr. Gaccon would say) because my mobility has been steadily getting worse. In February, Muriel fell on a patch of ice, and cracked a lumbar vertebrae, so her mobility also took a tumble (pun intended). Our son Christopher and his Lima-born wife Natalia visit often with our grandson, Alac, age 4. Chris is with FEMA and so has been a little anxious about the slash-and-burn tactics of DOGE. When Natalia was naturalized, Sam Goodyear was present in his John Adams regalia, eliciting many selfies with other newly-minted citizens.

Daughter Noelle works for an IT firm in Los Angeles.”

Antelo Devereux shares, “A couple of years ago Meg and I downsized from our farm to a small 18-house development that’s part of a large continuing care community, Kendal-Crosslands.

Our digs are small, but we overlook a 30-acre meadow and woods—lots of birds, deer, no visible houses and wonderful neighbors. We have granddaughters 4 and 2 thanks to son Jamie

and daughter-in-law, Maddie, who are expecting daughter number three in August. Unfortunately they live in Cohasset, MA so we don’t see them as much as we’d like.”

Sandy Washburn writes, “I continue to work full time at MIT as a Principal Gift Officer and have no plans to retire yet. Sherry and I have been married for 53 years and still live in the same house in Wellesley, Mass. Our daughter Lisa has blessed us with two granddaughters age 4 and 2. Our son Bill has worked at Boston Dynamics for 15 years building humanoid robots. Bill and I have shared a passion for building and racing vintage race cars for the past 15 years. I track my 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL tribute car several times a year at Lime Rock, Watkins Glen and Road America. I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and I have had a Pacemaker for the past five years after fainting on the hockey rink during a weekly session with an old fart hockey group. I am now a lifetime trustee at the USS Constitution Museum, which is a way to honor my four year Navy service during the 1960s aboard an aircraft carrier. My OCS class had a 50th reunion in Newport several years ago and we plan to do it again in the fall.”

Wilder Bellamy shares, “Settling down to read the very well-reviewed new translation of Homer’s Iliad (no sign of Brad Pitt in this one!). Rumor has it that the entire story actually takes place in upstate New York.”

Dr. Nelson N. Stone, a longtime leader in urologic oncology and medical innovation, recently co-authored a pioneering study published in the Journal of Medical Extended Reality. The article, “Autonomous Educational System for Surgical Training Utilizing Deep Learning Combined with Extended Reality,” introduces an AI-powered platform that trains surgeons using a lifelike 3D-printed kidney model and a custom extended reality headset— without the need for a live instructor. The system, known as ESIST, achieved a 99.91% accuracy rate in identifying surgical clamp placement and was praised by participants for its educational impact.

Now serving as Chief Medical Officer at Viomerse, Inc., Dr. Stone continues to push the boundaries of medical training through technology.

His work reflects the kind of curiosity, resilience, and forward-thinking we celebrate in the St. Mark’s community.

IN MEMORIAM THE OBITUARIES LISTED IN THIS SECTION REFLECT INFORMATION GATHERED

BY ST. MARK’S AS OF JUNE 18, 2025.

1948

Reuben Francis Richards, age 95, passed away peacefully at his home in Bedminster, NJ, on January 30, 2025, with his beloved wife of 71 years, Elizabeth Brady Richards, by his side. A 70-year resident of Bedminster, Reuben was born in N.Y. City on August 15, 1929, and grew up in Lawrence, NY, and N.Y. City, attending St. Bernard’s School, The Fessenden School, and then St. Mark’s School, where he was Head Monitor of the Class of 1948 and captain of the crew and wrestling teams. In 1952, he graduated with a degree in History from Harvard College, where he was a resident of Eliot House, a member of the men’s varsity heavyweight rowing team, and a member of the AD Club, The Harvard Lampoon, and The Hasty Pudding Club. While at Harvard, he was a midshipman in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Harvard left Reuben with a love of history and a curiosity for the world, which was evident throughout his life. From driving across the Sahara Desert in a Jeep in the early 1950s to exploring the ocean depths in the Alvin submersible in the 2000s, he had a passion for world exploration and adventure. While he was particularly drawn to Cape Cod, the Turks & Caicos, and childhood summers spent in Dublin, NH, there are few places in the world he didn’t visit in his lifetime. After college, and fluent in Spanish, Reuben spent a year working in Madrid before embarking on a 30-year international career at Citibank, ultimately leading the bank’s World Corporation Group and

overseeing operations in 110 countries during a time when Citibank was helping to structure the global postwar banking system. After Citibank, Reuben joined the board of Minorco (LUX), a publicly held global natural resources company, as an Executive Director. Over the next 15 years, he oversaw Minorco’s U.S. interests as Chairman of Hudson Bay Corporation and Terra Industries, Chairman and CEO of Minorco USA, and served on the boards of Engelhard Corp., Phibro-Salomon, and Santa Fe Energy Resources. He had long affiliations as a Director at publicly traded Ecolab, Inc. and the Potlatch Corporation, as well as serving as a long-term advisor to the Oppenheimer family’s and AngloAmerican Corp.’s extensive global holdings. Outside of his long business career, Reuben had three great passions: golf, flying, and the oceans. He was an accomplished golfer with trophies from Somerset Hills, Newport, and Palmetto Country Clubs. From 100 yards in, he could beat his sons well into his 80s. A passionate private pilot, Reuben spent most weekends flying, covering the East Coast and Caribbean on his many journeys to Cape Cod and the Turks & Caicos.

He spent a great amount of time both on and below the sea, either on his succession of boats: Pesca, Blue Pigeon, and Indigo, or below the sea as an early civilian SCUBA diver. His love of the sea led to a long involvement with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute as a Trustee, Chair of the Ocean Life Committee, and ultimately a Life Trustee. All of these pursuits were

with his beloved wife Lisa. They were married for over 70 years, traveled the world together, and left a positive impact on everyone they encountered.

Reuben will be remembered as a warm, wise, thoughtful, humble man with a great love of his family and community. He will be missed by all who have met him. Reuben Francis Richards was the son of Junius Alexander Richards and Marie Renouard Thayer and predeceased by his brothers Alexander (Sandy) and Benjamin. He is survived by his wife Lisa, their three sons: Reuben Jr., Timothy, and Andrew; was a kind father-in-law to Michaela, Janet, and Cynthia, and a proud grandfather to Genevieve Krogius, Ben, Sam, Gus, Eliot, and one great-grandchild, Tristan.

Reinaldo Herrera, husband of renowned designer Carolina Herrera, passed away on March 18, 2025, at 91, in his Manhattan home. A distinguished Venezuelan aristocrat, he was celebrated for his charisma, refined taste, and influence in high society and fashion. Born into nobility as the son of Reinaldo Herrera Uslar, the Marquis of Torre Casa, he was immersed in a world of sophistication. His career as an editor at Vanity Fair placed him at the forefront of fashion, curating best-dressed lists that helped elevate Carolina Herrera’s name in 1971. He also wrote for Town & Country, where his insights on luxury and culture were highly regarded. Reinaldo played a pivotal role in Carolina’s rise, connecting her with icons like Andy Warhol and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Their marriage, which began in Caracas in 1968, blended family and business, making them one of fashion’s most admired couples. A fixture in elite circles, Reinaldo moved seamlessly between royal gatherings, Studio 54 parties, and diplomatic meetings. He fostered friendships with figures like the Rockefellers, Estée Lauder, and Oscar de la Renta. His Upper East Side home, adorned

with art by Salvador Dalí and Robert Mapplethorpe, became a hub for cultural and political elites. A passionate advocate for the arts, he also promoted Venezuelan culture on the world stage. His private funeral Mass will be held at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in N.Y., after which he will be laid to rest in Caracas. Reinaldo Herrera’s legacy extends beyond his marriage to Carolina Herrera - he was a key figure in fashion, journalism, and high society, leaving behind an enduring mark of elegance and influence.

CAROL AND DICK RADER

Remembering Dick Rader ST. MARK’S SCIENCE FACULTY 1959-2000

a pioneering physics teacher who brought St. Mark’s into the computer age, passed away in Framingham on June 18, 2025. He was 91.

A St. Mark’s faculty member for 41 years (1959-2000), Dick was among the School’s longest-serving faculty and staff members. He also served as senior teacher (then called senior master), a title bestowed upon the School’s longest-tenured faculty member, from 1997 to 2000.

RICHARD (DICK) RADER,

“A hands-on teacher of physics, he could show his youngest students how to use a slide rule and then introduce them to the challenges of computer programming,” Richard E. Noble ’76 wrote in his 2015 history of St. Mark’s, The Echo of Their Voices: 150 Years of St. Mark’s School.

Dick’s impact extended far beyond the classroom. “Early in my St. Mark’s career, I was fortunate to have Dick Rader as my advisor and mentor,” said Edward A. Taft ’69, who was instrumental in developing Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) technology, on the occasion of Taft’s Distinguished Alumni induction 74

ST. MARK’S | FALL 2025

ceremony in 2019. “Dick pioneered student computing at St. Mark’s. He provided the inspiration, encouragement, and guidance to spark my interest in computing.”

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the School, the Richard A. Rader Chair—currently held by English teacher Jason Eslick—was established in 2001 to honor his legacy.

“Dick Rader was one of the most visionary educators I have come across in my career,” says John C. Warren ’74, St. Mark’s head of school from 2006 to 2024. “Very early on, for example, Dick saw the potential

of computer programming to kindle deep fascination in students. Dick’s own passion persuaded School administrators to invest in everything he and students needed to do pathbreaking educational work. The lives of a sizable cohort of students were changed by what Dick put into their hands.

“Also visionary was Dick’s advocacy for developing an exchange program with a school in Japan.

Although Japanese students were only in Southborough for a short period, and vice-versa, many participants have told me over the years about the profound impact of the home stay either at St. Mark’s or in Kyoto.

“Finally, Dick was also the consummate school person, ably taking on a variety of responsibilities at the School when the need arose.

Generations of St. Mark’s students had a richer experience at school because of the warm welcome Dick and Carol offered in their home.”

Born in Worcester to Harold (Dutch) and Dorothy Rader, Dick grew up on the campus of Worcester Academy and graduated in 1951. He majored in chemistry and graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1955, and married Carol Elizabeth Parsons (1932-2019) of Auburn in 1954. He received an M.A. in physical sciences from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1965.

Dick worked as a research chemist at Eastman Kodak Corporation in Rochester, N.Y., and served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps at Fort Huachuca, Ariz,. from 1956 to 1958.

He returned to Worcester Academy to teach chemistry from 1958 to 1959 and then joined the faculty of St. Mark’s.

“Dick pioneered student computing at St. Mark’s.

He provided the inspiration, encouragement, and guidance to spark my interest in computing.”

—EDWARD A. TAFT ’69

He and Carol both enjoyed music and travel. On retirement, he and Carol became members of the congregation at First Parish in Framingham, where he served on the Board of Assessors and the maintenance committee. He also served on the board and as president of the Assabet Valley Mastersingers. He enjoyed spending time at the family home in Vermont, photography, playing the cello, woodworking, and beekeeping.

He was preceded in death by Carol, his wife of 65 years. He is survived by sister Mary Randall of Enumclaw, Wash., sons Richard Rader (Suzanne) of Winchendon and Charles Rader (Nancy) of River Falls, Wisc., and grandchildren Erica, Gregory, and Rebecca. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to First Parish in Framingham, Worcester Academy, or St. Mark’s School, Southborough.

“Dick’s love of St. Mark’s was abiding and deep, and the difference he made to the School and to so many students over so many years is extraordinary,” Warren says. “He will be sorely missed.”

Benjamin Lambert “Buzz” Hall, a lifelong Edgartown resident, passed away on May 29, 2025, at the Henrietta Brewer House in Vineyard Haven at age 90, following a courageous 25-year battle with epithelioid sarcoma. Born at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital in Oak Bluffs on April 4, 1935, Buzz was the second child of island businessman

and philanthropist Alfred Hall and his wife Marjorie Haydn Hall (nee Lambert) of Edgartown. He is survived by his sons, both of Edgartown, Benjamin Lambert Hall, Jr. (and partner Gretchen Anderson and their two daughters Astoria Elizabeth Anderson Hall and Olympia Katherine Kamhout Hall) and Brian-Alexander McKinnon Hall (and his wife Laura Sargent Hall and their children Ethan Stanford Hall and Grace Athena Hall), two sisters, Charlotte I. Hall and Marcia B. Hall both of Martha’s Vineyard and many Hall and Lambert cousins. He was predeceased by his lifelong love and wife, Therese Marie Hall (nee McKinnon), his parents, and a grandson, Lucas Daniel (Brian and Laura).

Buzz came from a family with deep Island roots. His mother’s Lambert lineage traced back to the Mayhews on Martha’s Vineyard and to many Mayflower ancestors. As a child, his sister dubbed him “Buzz” for his constant movement, like a busy bee.

Being a patriot and proud of his heritage and the family history during the “War for Independence,” as a young man, he joined the Martha’s Vineyard Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. A devoted member of the Federated Church in Edgartown, Buzz found early joy in music, becoming the lead tenor in the church choir as a teen. His powerful renditions of “O Holy Night” and “Ave Maria” became staples of holiday services and funerals. He later performed in N.Y. while attending Bard College. Buzz’s education included time at the Edgartown School, the Fessenden School, the Fenn School, and St. Mark’s School, where he formed lifelong friendships. He did ST. MARK’S | FALL 2025

a postgraduate year at Mercersburg Academy before studying music at Bard. Fascinated by electronics, he later attended Boston University and technical school, becoming a skilled technician and appliance repairman.

He worked at a Boston radio factory, where he quickly advanced to quality control. In Boston, Buzz met the love of his life, Therese, who shared his passions for humor, kindness, and real estate. They eloped in 1958, beginning a lifelong partnership in love and business. Buzz co-founded Edgartown Electrical Equipment Corporation with his childhood friend John Donnelly, selling Westinghouse appliances and Sylvania TVs. Known for his VW work van with a custom “W” logo, he installed antennas all over the Island. His skill at fixing antique radios and gramophones became legendary throughout New England. His supply of old vacuum tubes helped many electric guitar enthusiasts to keep alive old school “amps.” Buzz also worked in the family’s theater business, helping maintain and repair the Capawock, Strand, Island, Dreamland, and Elm theaters.

When the Elm Theater burned in 1961, Buzz led the restoration of the Town Hall auditorium into a temporary movie house, launching his long career as a theater operator.

Buzz and Therese were known for their generosity—helping neighbors, feeding families in need, and providing starter homes for families or housing younger workers. They built a real estate business based on restoring homes and renting them to those often overlooked. In one notable act, they tracked down the heir to Clarence Dutton—an Edgartown legend—to acquire lands no one else had 76

ST. MARK’S | FALL 2025

been able to secure. Buzz served on Edgartown’s first Sewer Commission, applying his technical knowledge to protect Island waterways. He resumed managing the family theaters in 1997 during a downturn in attendance due to VCRs and streaming. Though the single-screen theater model faded, he supported revival efforts at the Capawock and Strand. He was especially heartened by the current community-led efforts at the Strand under operator Steve Capers. After Therese’s passing in 2011 following a long battle with cancer, Buzz honored her memory by maintaining their home and continuing their work. He remained active in the family’s businesses, attended Federated Church, and delighted in his grandchildren’s lives. Known for his blue blazer, pocket protector, and ever-present screwdriver, Buzz drove old fixer-upper cars and never stopped tinkering.

He brought thoughtful insight to town meetings and instilled in his sons a love of community, music, and hard work. Buzz is fondly remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend; a man who could fix nearly anything and cherished his place in Island history.

Ran often commented on the importance to him of his board work for The Nature Conservancy, National Eagle Center, Widji, and North Haven Conservation Partners. Ran and Beth‘s home in Hugo, MN, was the family’s gathering place for holidays and all special occasions. They made sure that everyone felt welcome around the Hugo dining table.

Their second home in North Haven, Maine, created lifelong memories for anybody lucky enough to visit. Ran and Beth delighted in the interests of their children and grandchildren, whether that involved horse shows, cross-country ski races, dance, theatre, music recitals, or other school activities. They were enthusiastic cheerleaders for every family member. Ran was preceded in death by his wife, Beth Miner; parents, Ranlet Miner and Anne Oviatt; his stepparents, Diana Miner and Bud Oviatt; his sister, Anne Richardson, and brother-in-law, Brad Richardson.

Peter J. Coe, Ph.D. of St. Charles (Campton Hills), Ill., passed away at age 83 on May 16, 2025, following a short hospitalization. Peter was born to David and Emma Coe on October 10, 1941, in Marlborough, Mass.. He was the youngest of three brothers. He attended St. Mark’s school in nearby Southborough, where his father was athletic director.

Peter was a mischievous kid who kept his mother on her toes while growing up with his two brothers, Bob and John. He and John loved egging each other on, especially when it came to teasing their more buttoned-up brother Bob. Peter was a gifted athlete and attended Syracuse University on full wrestling and lacrosse scholarships, recognized as a lacrosse All-American. He originally studied forestry but switched majors to psychology when he learned he was interested in analyzing his classmates’ dreams. During his young adulthood, Peter was an avid mountain climber, tackling such challenging climbs as sheer ice faces on Baffin Island north of the Arctic Circle. After graduating in 1963, he was drafted into the

S T. M A RKE RS

United States Army and later volunteered to serve in Vietnam. In 1979, he earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Chicago. Throughout his career as a clinical psychologist, he remained deeply fascinated by human behavior and had a rare ability to empathize, even with those who were hardest to understand. His experiences in Vietnam would also fuel his drive to work with hundreds of veterans to treat PTSD and other service-related emotional issues. Peter met the love of his life, Beverly, while they worked together on an alcoholism treatment unit. Peter and Bev’s mutual love of nature, hiking, dogs, and having a good laugh was the basis of a life full of love, adventure, and happiness.

Peter and Bev found a spiritual home at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Geneva, where Peter devoted himself to work supporting veterans, mental health initiatives, and the Lazarus House homeless shelter, among many other contributions to the community. Peter loved reading and talking about such lighthearted topics as war, disease, and the end of the world. He enjoyed traveling and took his family to almost every national park in the U.S. and Canada.

Despite all this exposure to nature, his son David ended up in N.Y. City.

Peter always enjoyed visiting the city and observing how so many people from diverse cultures could get along in such close quarters. Peter was endlessly curious, deeply intelligent, and had a sharp, provocative sense of humor. His gift for saying things just outrageous enough to make you think, laugh, or occasionally both will be sorely missed. Peter is survived by wife, Beverly Coe; son David

Remembering Theodore (Lee) Gaillard Jr. ST. MARK’S ENGLISH FACULTY 1965-1972 THEODORE (LEE) GAILLARD JR., an English teacher, soccer coach, and head crew coach at St. Mark’s from 1965 to 1972, passed away on May 25, 2025. He was 86.

Lee was an exceptional human being. He was intelligent, kind beyond measure, a demanding but empathetic teacher, interested in just about everything, a lover of the arts, an amateur photographer, and a well published writer.

Son of Theodore Lee Gaillard and Patricia Coffin Gaillard (later Lindsay), he was born on February 6, 1939. He leaves his wife, The Reverend Ann Gaillard, and his two children, Gregory Lindsay Gaillard and Jennifer Love Gaillard. He is survived by his brother Tristram (Tim) Gaillard, stepsister Christiana Sutor; and half-sister Patricia Guerard; he is predeceased by his stepbrother Merrill David Lindsay.

Lee attended St. Bernard’s School, Foote School, Choate School (Cum Laude), and Westminster School (London, UK) on an EnglishSpeaking Union Fellowship.

He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Yale University and received his M.A. from Middlebury College (Breadloaf Campus). He also served in the United States Marine Corps (Reserves), receiving an honorable discharge with rank of Corporal. He was awarded Outstanding Member of Platoon 384, Leatherneck Magazine Dress Blues Award, and the American Spirit Honor Medal at Parris Island USMCRD.After Parris Island, Lee began his career in marketing at TIME-LIFE International.

After a few years, he left the world of business to follow his passions: teaching, scholarship, and writing.

He began teaching at Athens College in Greece before returning to the United States to teach English at St. Mark’s School, MA— where he also became acquainted with such notable figures as Robert Frost and Wernher von Braun. In addition to teaching, he was also an advisor, soccer coach, and head crew coach. In 1973, Lee and his family moved to Dallas, TX, where he served at the Hockaday School first as English Department Head and then Head of Upper School. In 1988, he and his wife Ann moved to Connecticut, where he became Dean of Faculty at Brunswick School. Soon after, they moved to Lake Forest Academy, where he served as Academic Dean. During the years of administration, Lee continued to teach English and European history. In 1994, they moved to Philadelphia, where Lee did part-time and substitute teaching on a range of subjects—history, English, science, and Latin/French/ Spanish at Agnes Irwin School and William Penn Charter School.

Lee was a true Renaissance man—a “Human Google” as one friend called him. He did freelance writing, publishing articles on literature, history, defense, and aviation.

As a Marine, he was very interested in the capabilities the V-22 Osprey

helicopter offered, writing a monograph on the Osprey published by the Center for Defense Information in September of 2006, and was later asked to come to Washington the following January to give a briefing.

He wrote book reviews and more than 100 articles on Hemingway, Keats, Melville, the V-22, aviation and defense issues in publications ranging from the English Journal and 20th Century Literature to MIT Technology Review, Naval Institute Proceedings, Chicago Tribune, Jane’s Defense Weekly, and the Seattle Times.

He was a member of the Franklin Inn Club in Philadelphia, Rotary International in Saranac Lake, New York, and the Eugene Round Table Club in Eugene, Oregon.

Lee was also a man of deep faith. He was baptized at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in New York City and attended Episcopal churches throughout his adult life. At both St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Saranac Lake, and St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Eugene, he served as Lector (reader) as well as making many other contributions to the life of the churches.

Lee lived with such spirit and integrity that the next generations of his family lead better lives because of his example of what it means to be a man. Although upright and introverted, he was also a loving and romantic soul. His honesty, humor, poetry, intelligence, kindness, and willingness to lead when leadership was in short supply were like a shining shuttle weaving his wisdom, understanding, and compassion— swift, sure, and strengthening—into the fabric of our lives.

William “Gavin” Gilmor passed away peacefully on May 22, 2025, surrounded by his loving daughters.

Gavin’s innate ability to excel in all things sports was a remarkable gift, one that led to friendships, competition, and accomplishments throughout his life. Raised in Oyster Bay, N.Y., Gavin’s early years were shaped by a deep appreciation for community and competition. He attended the Green Vale School before continuing on to St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Mass., where he captained the undefeated 1959 baseball team-a feat that earned the team a place in the St. Mark’s Athletic Hall of Fame and remains a cherished legacy. Gavin’s athletic journey continued at Harvard University, where he proudly led the Crimson baseball team as captain and was a member of the Owl Club. His leadership and sportsmanship left a lasting impression on teammates and classmates alike.

Following his graduation, Gavin served as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, embodying the same discipline and commitment that defined his athletic career. He later 78

ST. MARK’S | FALL 2025

earned his MBA from Columbia Business School and embarked on a career in finance. Gavin’s love for the thrill of the game never faded-whether it was professional sports or middle school scrimmages, he was all in. A devoted fan of the N.Y. Yankees and Rangers, he could often be found watching baseball or hockey, passionately yelling at the TV. But some of his greatest enjoyment came from the stands, cheering on his daughters and grandchildren.

Whether coaching from the sidelines or simply showing up with his signature enthusiasm, Gavin brought heart and energy to every field he touched. Gavin’s greatest joy in life was his family. He met the love of his life, Sandra (Plant) Gilmor, while skiing in Lech, Austria-a chance encounter that led to 57 years of marriage. Together, they shared a passion for traveling the world. He is survived by his wife, Sandra; his sisters, Elizabeth Wills and Elizabeth Meyer; his daughters, Hether Danforth and her husband Brian, and Ashley Myles and her husband George; as well as his grandchildren, Porter and Zander Danforth, and Ellie and Caroline Myles. Gavin’s vibrant and competitive spirit lives on in his children and grandchildren.

As an avid golfer, he was a longtime member of the Yolo Fliers Club, an active member of the Woodland Kiwanis Club, and served for many years on the board of directors of Yolo Employment Services (YES). He played on many city league basketball teams and liked a good poker game. He enjoyed travel, live theatre, and was a voracious reader. He enjoyed attending his grandchildren’s athletic and musical theatre events.

He was a tolerant, kind, and loving family man and friend. He was predeceased by his parents and a brother, Peter Thompson.

Along with headmaster Dr. Cleveland, he coached the first scholastic ice hockey teams in the area in the 1960s, and in 1996, became the first coach of the Girls’ Ice Hockey program at Upland.

was named to the Delaware Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2000. The Delaware State Championship Trophy is named the Clee Edgar Cup in honor of Clee’s contribution to the growth of lacrosse in the state of Delaware. Clee was also among the inaugural inductees to the Tatnall Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021. Clee returned to Upland Country Day School in 1996 as Head of the Upper School. He also taught History and Latin and coached girls’ ice hockey at his alma mater until his retirement. Throughout Clee’s teaching and coaching career, students and athletes across five decades acknowledge the impact that “Mr. Edgar” had on them as students, athletes, and in their future endeavors. Former students and athletes continue to refer to him as the most significant influence in their formative years. When Clee was not teaching or coaching, he loved the game of golf and played often at Kennett Country Club. He also enjoyed working in the gardens that he and Suzanne had created.

However, his favorite activity was spending time with his daughter, Kde, son-in-law, Steve, and grandson Cooper. Clee loved watching Cooper play two of his own favorite sports, golf and ice hockey, in Ohio.

NEAL AND GLORIA STONE

Dr. Neal Stone ’70 Leaves a Legacy for Future Lions For Dr. Nelson “Neal” Stone ’70, including St. Mark’s in his estate plans comes from gratitude—for the values and confidence he gained as a student.

“I arrived with a passion for science but poor writing skills,” recalls Neal. “Years later, I bonded with my teacher over Shakespeare—proof that growth is possible and success isn’t linear.”

That mindset shaped his career as a urologic oncologist, educator, and entrepreneur. Author of 500+ academic publications, Neal still reads 10 scientific articles weekly at age 73.

His advice to students: “Don’t stereotype yourself. Keep learning, stay humble, and remember—success is a team effort.”

“St. Mark’s fosters resilience, responsibility, and collaboration,” he says. “AI may change education, but it can’t replace the boarding school experience.”
