“Teachers like Ed Dunn, who inspired me to pursue my interests passionately; Hugh Harrell, who was like a second father to me; and Gale Giles, whose faculty apartment was always open to students interested in lively conversation, truly believed in our potential and wanted us to succeed,” says Dana. “I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to be one of their students, and I believe that such an opportunity would not have been possible without the generosity of donors who came before me. The Academy needs resources to continue to inspire and challenge young people. Putting the school in my estate plan, in addition to supporting the Annual Fund, is my way of showing gratitude to those who believed in me.” For information, contact Christina Cronin, Director of Major Gifts & Campaign Coordinator, at 413.596.9189 or at ccronin@WMA.us.
