JENNA GAMBARO ’95

and chose to give a percentage of her estate to charity. Taylor Stockdale recalls, “Jenna was a student when I was in my early years at Webb, and she is a shining example of the power of the Webb experience and a true leader among her peers.” Gambaro, who lives in Los Angeles, has been a business affairs executive at Creative Artists Agency since 2004.

Jenna Gambaro ’95 is one of Vivian Webb’s most committed and passionate alumnae – sharing her time, talent and treasure. She has been a class agent every year since graduation and served as reunion chair for her 10-, 15- and 20- year reunions, and in 2010 was elected to the Board of Trustees. Her dedication to The Webb Schools excelled this year when she documented a generous planned gift to be used for Webb’s area of greatest need. Donors create their first will or living trust at different stages in life and for various reasons. When Gambaro created her will she was reminded of the foundation that Webb provides and she knows from her board experience that the school continues to transform lives. This compelled her to think of others as she made the intricate decisions often associated with estate planning

LARRY PRICE ’61

Legacies are important at Webb and some trace back to our founders. Larry Price ’61 and his brothers Dádá Acyutánanda ’63 and Ken Price ’65 are great nephews of The Webb Schools’ founder Thompson Webb and great grandchildren of Sawney Webb (founder of the Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee). Their father, Edward T. Price, Jr. ’33 was an alumnus and their grandfather, Edward T. Price, Sr. was a master teacher at Webb who also served as Assistant Headmaster.

Price’s connection to Webb and to his classmates has remained strong throughout the years. He attends and has even co-chaired campus reunions and has co-hosted regional events in Oregon. In honor of his strong legacy and devotion to the schools, Larry named Webb as the co-beneficiary of his IRA and will someday fund an endowment to benefit future generations of Webb students. While at Webb, Price ’61 was a recipient of the Horace Blackman Award given for decency, integrity, and goodwill towards all. Larry was a member of the student newspaper, and a Peccary man. He also enjoyed theater and soccer. After graduating with membership in the Cum Laude society starting in his junior year, he attended Pomona College for his bachelor’s degree and subsequently Harvard University for his master’s and PhD in Physics. He is a high achiever professionally. Price served as the director of the High Energy Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory and pursued several multi-institution and multi-year physics experiments that helped nail down several parts of the current standard model of particle physics , including a team that took part in the discovery of the famed Higgs boson particle.
