“I came to Cardigan at a time in my life when I needed it the most. I first came for a summer, and then continued onto my first academic year and went on to graduate in 1964. I continued on to Lawrence Academy, enlisted in the Navy, and then joined the workforce. I kept in touch with [headmaster] Norm Wakely throughout my whole life. He was my first real mentor, and became a great friend. After returning to Cardigan’s campus for my 30th reunion in 1994 I was able to reconnect with classmates from my years at the School, and have been fortunate to remain in contact with these gentlemen. It is the relationships with these important people that compels me to keep giving to Cardigan. Cardigan has always been at the top of my list of places to give to because it continues to provide all the tools for boys to be successful in life. The campus continues to grow and improve, all the while maximizing efficiency within the existing buildings and facilities that exist on its already impressive campus.”
