Director's Corner
January 2018
With this month’s newsletter, we’d like to highlight a number of events we have planned for you over the next few months. As ever, the success of all alumni gatherings hinges on the active participation and attendance of our alumni and friends. Your involvement brings these events to life and connections you help to make go a long way in strengthening our alumni and community network. So, as you are able, I hope make an effort to join us for at least one of our upcoming receptions!
Following last October’s kick-off of the Headmaster’s “thank you” tour in Boston, alumni in Florida enticed Vance Wilson to join them for receptions earlier this month. Dick Bodman ’56 opened up his Naples home to STA family and friends, as he and Karna Bodman treated the throng to a lovely meal in their gracious abode. Zach Shipley ’70 (pictured with classmates) hosted a similar group later in the week at the Sailfish Club in Palm Beach.
Additional opportunities to visit with Vance are upcoming in March on the West Coast: an evening reception in Seattle, WA on March 12; a lunch in Palo Alto, CA, on March 14; an evening reception in San Francisco on the evening of the 14th; and Los Angeles-area gathering at the Manhattan Beach home of Brent Taylor ’65 on March 15. (3/5). It is our hope that these mini-reunions will lure members of the St. Albans family away from their offices and everyday lives to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow Bulldogs, get a sense of where St. Albans is today, and (re)connect with Albanians in their region. Please join us!
Note also that, in addition to the Annual Alumni Meeting and Dinner at the School on Wednesday, March 7, there will be a New York salute to Vance at the Yale Club of New York City on Tuesday, April 24 (and note as well that the final tribute will be Thursday, May 17 at the Headmaster's Retirement Service and Reception, a Cathedral Service at 5:30 p.m. followed by a reception at the School).

Located in Washington D.C., St. Albans School is a private, all boys day and boarding school. For more than a century, St. Albans has offered a distinctive educational experience for young men in grades 4 through 12. While our students reach exceptional academic goals and exhibit first-rate athletic and artistic achievements, as an Episcopal school we place equal emphasis upon moral and spiritual education.
