OPENING COMMENTS 

Letter from the Head of School 

Dear Friends, 

In the arc of the school year, the fall always offers that familiar 

feeling of limitless possibility—the excitement of reconnecting with 

teachers and friends, setting individual and collective goals, and 

preparing to be challenged by new learning experiences. This time 

of transition is characterized by reflection and renewal, when we 

have the opportunity to imagine the many ways that we will help to 

shape the Friends’ Central landscape. 

The theme of transition runs 

through this fall/winter issue of our 

magazine, and it captures not only 

the spirit of the academic season, but 

also mirrors this moment in Friends’ 

Central’s great history, filled with 

potential and expectancy. This is 

an exhilarating moment when the 

community has the opportunity 

to reaffirm its centering Quaker 

values and feel sustained by its long 

and distinguished history, while 

envisioning a future filled with 

endless possibility. 

As I noted in my August letter to 

our faculty and staff, Lucille Clifton, 

in her poem Blessing the Boats, 

writes about a period of transition, 

“a time of sailing through this to 

that.” Her poetic vision about this 

kind of time includes the freedom 

to explore uncharted territory, an 

openness to all that comes our way, 

and the confidence that many kinds 

of support will grace our days. That 

support at FCS comes in the form of 

a spirited sense of community, which 

is felt and expressed in every quarter 

of our school. 

From stories about our graduates’ 

transition to their colleges and 

universities to the profiles of new 

Board members to Jim Davis’s move 

from choral director to his new role 

as archivist, there are many exciting 

transitional moments featured in this 

issue—all contributing to the great 

strength of our community. This issue 

also includes the 2010-2011 Annual 

Report of Gifts, in which we take 

a moment to review our successes, 

thank our many generous volunteers 

and donors, and look forward to the 

year ahead. 

All will be grounded this year by 

the work on our Long-Range Plan: 

Vision 2020, which will provide other 

ways for us to embrace change and 

tap the collective wisdom of our 

community. During this process, we 

will rely on the enduring values that 

tether FCS to its mission, define our 

community, and are, in Robert Frost’s 

great phrase, native to the grain. 

I hope that you enjoy reading 

this issue of Quaker Works and 

its celebration of transitions and 

community, whether through 

the words of our student 

Commencement speakers Alexis 

Lewis ’11 and Kyle Seid ’11 or 

through the testimonials of our 

alumni/ae about Reunion 2011. 

Thank you for the many ways that 

you contribute to the vibrancy of 

Friends’ Central, and I look forward 

to seeing you on campus many times 

throughout the year. QW

Letters to the Editor 

WHY MAKING MATTERS 

I wanted to praise the concept 

of having kids make things as 

was detailed in the article about 

AnnMarie Thomas in Quaker Works, 

Issue 2:2 [pp. 26-27]. I think this 

is a very important skill for children 

to learn, and one that is being 

forgotten in this age of instant 

gratification-fed consumerism. 

I remember many projects that I 

made at FCS. The first group-made 

project that I remember is turning 

Jack Briggs’ third grade classroom 

into a tall ship called “The Flying 

Cloud.” Later on, I have memories 

of many other projects—some in 

wood shop class with Bob Emory, 

some in middle school science with 

Doug Ross, some in physics with 

Keith Buckingham, and some on my 

own. There was also the time when 

my hair caught fire when I tried to 

blow out an alcohol burner that had 

gotten out of control, which resulted 

in Doug Ross turning the fire 

extinguisher on me! Other activities 

that I recall included competitions 

like the egg drop contest and a 

challenge to build an enclosure to 

keep an ice cube from melting. We 

built model rockets and played with 

boomerangs. I was on the stage crew 

for one production, and my senior 

project was to work as an apprentice 

to a general contractor doing home 

renovations. 

I credit the overall maker-friendly 

atmosphere at FCS with helping to 

develop my career as an engineer 

and also with fostering my love of 

tinkering with, taking apart, and 

building things. I especially credit 

Mr. Buckingham’s two-year physics 

class with getting me interested in 

attending engineering school. He 

was very supportive of the students 

that showed an honest interest 

in learning about physics, and 

allowed us great freedom in building 

a curriculum by constructing 

experiments to back up the theory 

we were learning. Nowadays, when 

my peers ask about the projects I 

undertake, they are often surprised 

to hear that I built something 

myself. A common reply is, “Oh, I’m 

not very handy, I could never build 

something like that.” I think that 

everyone can actually be a “handy” 

person, given the chance to prove it 

to themselves at a young age. 

This is where a school like FCS 

can continue to excel. 

Alec Stevens ’90 

FIRST IN FLIGHT 

I was thrilled to see the picture of 

my 3A class on page 2 and its link to 

the article “Why Making Matters.” 

However, the photograph is of a 

model of the Wright Brothers’ Flyer, 

not Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. 

Louis. Joe Dubb’s 3C class built a 

gorgeous Spirit. The 3A and 3C kids, 

Jackson Snider ’20 piloting the model of 

the Spirit of St. Louis built by Joe Dubb’s 3C 

class last year. 

now steeped in the history of flight, 

would appreciate a correction, I am 

sure. Meanwhile, the magazine just 

gets better and better. Thanks.

CAMPUS LOG 

Many Friends’ Central alumni/ae joined the Upper School Chorus for one final song with 

longtime director Jim Davis. 

MR. DAVIS’ OPUS 

Jim Davis went out with a bang 

at the Spring Choral Concert, as 

approximately 75 alumni/ae who came 

to pay tribute to the beloved choral 

director joined him and the Upper 

School Chorus for a final song on 

the FCS stage. Although Davis will 

be retiring from his choral director 

duties, he will remain part of the FCS 

community, sharing his institutional 

memory as the School archivist and 

adding his support at alumni/ae events 

and fundraising efforts. 

When Davis arrived at Friends’ 

Central, there were only two concerts 

a year, the chorus numbers were thin, 

and no additional singing groups 

existed. Over time, these two concerts 

became six. He expanded the music 

program to comprise a variety of 

smaller ensembles including vocal 

jazz, musical theater, triple trio, barber 

shop, a capella, and vocal ensemble. 

In 1998, Davis helped found the 

Gay Straight Alliance, and he has 

been an active and supportive faculty 

representative ever since. 

“I feel incredibly lucky to have 

found a school that matched the 

way I wanted to be with kids and 

teachers—the tone, the modeled 

authority, the mutual respect 

between faculty and students,” Davis 

said before his final concert. “Not 

everybody is able to find that, a 

school where they are able to settle in 

and feel comfortable. This place is a 

real home for me.” 

Friends’ Central’s new choral 

director is the enthusiastic and 

accomplished Michele Zuckman, 

who joins FCS from Lehigh Valley ey 

Charter High School for the 

Performing Arts where she taught ht 

music theory and history, provided ed 

lessons in piano and voice, and 

assisted in forming music curricula ula 

for grades 9-12. Zuckman earned d 

a BFA in vocal performance and 

musical education at Carnegie 

Mellon University and a master’s s 

in choral conducting and music 

education at Westminster Choir 

College.

An Exciting Time of 

TRANSITION 

FCS Welcomes 

JOANNE P. HOFFMAN 


BY LISA D’ORAZIO 

Last spring, Friends’ Central School embarked on an extensive search for 

an Interim Head of School, working with search consultants Earl Ball and 

Jake Dresden of Carney, Sandoe, and Associates, an executive search firm 

based in Boston. After interviewing a number of excellent candidates, 

Ann Satterthwaite and Michael Kelly, co-clerks of the Search Committee, 

announced with excitement that the Board of Trustees came to a unanimous 

decision. Joanne P. Hoffman would serve as Friends’ Central’s Interim 

Head of School for the 2011-2012 academic year. 


10 

“Everyone who met Joanne was impressed 

by her leadership experience, her 

thoughtfulness, her ability to listen and 

communicate, and her passion for Friends 

education,” says Michael. 

Throughout her 

40-year career as an 

educator, Joanne has 

been drawn to schools 

like Friends’ Central 

that are centered on 

values. “I have held a 

long-standing regard 

for Friends’ Central 

and am moved by the 

community’s passion to 

realize an even greater 

potential. I have found 

myself tremendously excited to be back in a Quaker school 

because I believe Friends’ values are perfectly aligned with 

all that is excellent in education,” Joanne says. 

In her professional career, Joanne served as Associate 

Head of School at Concord Academy in Concord, 

Mass., Director of Admission 

and Academic Dean at The Ethel 

Walker School in Simsbury, Conn., 

and, most recently, served as Head 

of School at Moses Brown School, 

a nationally known Quaker school 

in Providence, R.I. for 15 years. 

While at Moses Brown, Joanne 

launched two strategic plans, 

the first culminated in a $26.2 

million fundraising campaign 

that enabled extensive campus 

improvements. The second set 

goals for the school through 

2012 and included extending 

foreign language instruction 

to Kindergarten, improving 

technology efforts, implementing 

more environmentally sustainable 

practices on campus, and 

expanding its global education 

initiatives. After she announced 


TRANSITION 

“I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT 

HOW CHILDREN GROW 

AS WELL AS ABOUT THE 

WAY WE CONSISTENTLY 

RESHAPE AND REVISE OUR 

LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS 

TO MAKE THEM MORE 

VIGOROUS FOR OUR 

CHILDREN IN THIS EVER- 

CHANGING WORLD.” 

her retirement, Moses Brown created the Hoffman 

Scholarship Fund, which increases scholarship 

opportunities for deserving students, in Joanne’s honor. 

The school also renamed a newly renovated building on 

campus, West Middle House, the Hoffman House, the 

capstone of Moses Brown’s Campus Master Plan. 

Joanne gravitates toward schools that grow and change 

with their students and help shape the whole child. She 

comments, “I care deeply about how children grow as 

well as about the way we consistently reshape and revise 

our learning environments to make them more vigorous 

for our children in this ever-changing world.” Joanne 

also sought ways to remain in the classroom at each 

school in the teaching role that is so close to her heart. 

Even as Head of Moses Brown, Joanne read poetry to 

Lower Schoolers, co-taught values class in Middle School, 

and occasionally taught in the Upper School English 

classroom. Joanne explains, “I believe that connection 

with students is so important that I hope to find a way to 

be in the classroom here at Friends’ Central, too.” 

When she retired, Joanne wanted to contribute in new 

ways to a profession that had been so good to her. So, she 

began volunteering and serving on the board at Beacon 

Academy in Boston, Mass., and serving on the board of 

Axis of Hope, an international 

conflict-resolution organization, 

also in Boston. Beacon Academy 

provides eighth graders who 

are smart and motivated, yet 

academically under-served, with a 

jump year to prepare for admission 

to independent schools and the 

rigorous curriculum that will 

follow. Axis of Hope teaches 

conflict analysis, management, and 

prevention to youth and educators 

worldwide. Joanne says, “The 

desire to work at Beacon and Axis 

of Hope stemmed from the values 

internalized in me from working at 

Moses Brown. Quaker education 

has shaped who I am and what I 

do.” 

Joanne is excited about leading 

Friends’ Central during this time 

of transition. She shares that

although people often feel that times of transition are 

risky, she believes that times of transition are exciting 

because there is a dynamic and 

hopeful quality of movement 

involved. Joanne explains that 

“the word ‘transition’ suggests 

going from one place to another 

while holding onto sustaining 

values that have made a school 

what it is. While remaining true 

to its Quaker roots, Friends’ 

Central School will also look 

toward a bright future through 

new eyes.” 

Joanne began her tenure as Friends’ Central’s Interim 

Head of School on July 5. She immediately went to work, 

immersing herself in the culture of FCS by getting to 

know the administration and staff. While embodying the 

practice of respecting the past and looking toward the 

future, she invited “special guest” David Felsen to her first 

staff meeting. At the impromptu gathering, Joanne and 

David shared their mutual admiration for one another, and 

everyone present could see that Friends’ Central would be 

in good hands. 


TRANSITION 

Joanne Hoffman invited David Felsen to her first, informal staff meeting this summer. 

“QUAKER EDUCATION HAS 

SHAPED WHO I AM AND 

WHAT I DO.” 

In another order of business, Joanne had her first official 

photo shoot as leader of Friends’ Central. While jokingly 

describing the glare of her white 

hair in the sun, a glimpse of her 

true personality shined through. 

Next to the detail-oriented, focused, 

measured Head of School was a 

charming, charismatic, familiar 

side that draws others in. However, 

nothing brought more delight to 

her face than when she stopped to 

have her photo taken with some 

young summer campers. That was 

when the real Joanne came to life. 

She was completely engaged in 

conversation with these third and fourth graders, and one 

could immediately see why Joanne was drawn to Friends’ 

Central and why Friends’ Central chose Joanne. Intelligent, 

compassionate, involved—she is an educator steeped in 

those values that make up a successful and vibrant Quaker 

school, a fitting leader to guide Friends’ Central through 

this hopeful time of transition. QW 

Lisa D’Orazio is the Director of Communications at Friends’ Central.

COMMENCEMENT 2011 

Exceptional Individuals, A Robust Community 

BY SCOTT SHEPPARD 

“One of the major benefits of the environment at Friends’ Central is that it 

has enabled each of us to develop strong, distinct senses of self. The passion, 

self-expression, and drive many of you have displayed throughout your high 

school career are manifestations of individual exceptionalism. And they will 

enable many of you to undoubtedly go on to do great things.” 

-Kyle Seid ’11

14 

Even though we were driven indoors by the 

impending rain, student speaker Kyle Seid ’11 

set the tone for what, as Head of School 

David Felsen reminded us, was a beautiful 

celebration of the graduating seniors. The 

ceremony began with Felsen honoring Ann 

Satterthwaite for her seven years of service 

as the Clerk of the Board of Trustees. 

Alexis Lewis ’11 was the first student speaker, and she 

shared a wistful message about the importance of the 

journey. Her speech was filled with stories from Lower 

School and an overwhelming excitement for the future. “In 

order to continue on our next journey we must take our 

past with us as we move on in life,” she said. “Wherever 

we may find ourselves, we must always hold true to what 

shaped our past, acknowledge and appreciate what we are 

today, and dare to be all that we can be tomorrow!” 

Seid then reminded us that what makes the FCS 

community such a dynamic force is that we celebrate 

our differences. “Much of what we focus on at Friends’ 

Central is the strength and identity of our community,” 

he said. “Embracing, championing, and fostering 

individualism is conducive to a better community, or at 

the very least one I would prefer. By celebrating your 

individualism and encouraging each other to do great 

things, you will continue to make our community here 

and every community you choose to be part of going 

forward stronger for it.” 

Student speakers Kyle Seid ’11 and Alexis Lewis ’11 brought tears 

and laughter to the commencement audience. 

Jim Davis (top) and David Felsen shared inspiring words at 

the ceremony. 

The combination of their speeches left the crowd in 

tears of joy then laughter, then both. 

These students were followed by commencement 

speaker, Jim Davis, who retired after 39 years of 

service as the choral director. Throughout his life, Davis 

explained that one must recognize the difference between 

what is noise and what Guiseppi Verdi calls your himmel, 

your liebe, and your lied (your heaven, your love, and 

your song). 

We congratulate our graduates on their success at 

Friends’ Central, and wish them the best as they head off 

toward future journeys. We know they will carry a little 

FCS in their hearts wherever they go, knowing they are 

always welcome here. QW

ALUMNI/AE NEWS 

REUNION 2011 

WHAT A WEEKEND! 

BY LINDA WAXMAN WASSERMAN ’75 

More than 500 alumni/ae, family members, and friends 

returned to Friends’ Central last May 13-15 for an 

exciting Reunion 2011.

REUNION 2011 

Leonard Haas ’76 (right, with David Felsen) was honored with the Distinguished Alumnus 

Award for his generous support of the School’s many projects and his numerous professional 

acting and stage accomplishments, which include the Barrymore Award for the role of Henry 

in The People’s Light and Theater production of The Fantasticks. 

Party-goers from around the block 

to as far away as Canada, Israel, 

and Sweden took part in dozens of 

activities including campus tours, 

Varsity athletic contests, Meeting for 

Worship, distinguished alumna and 

alumnus presentations, visits to the 

REUNION REFLECTIONS 

archives, and class parties on and off 

campus. This year, we also threw a 

grand retirement party for longtime 

faculty members Jim Davis, Lou 

DelSoldo, and Lylee Van Pelt. In 

addition, alumni/ae gave a combined 

Reunion gift of $131,974. 

Reunion was special, as some of our classmates 

traveled long distances to reconnect. While 

there’s no substitute for real face time, Facebook did 

its job by starting the ball rolling in some instances. 

We laughed together (at an impromptu large party at 

Sang Kee Noodle House) and shed some tears together 

(commemorating and honoring our dear classmate, 

Jean-Pierre Guggenheim). In all, a friendly way to 

celebrate each other and FCS. 

- Eve Ellis ’76 

Lynne Iverson Neefe ’61 received the 

Distinguished Alumna Award, which 

recognized her compassion and excellence 

in the field of infectious disease education, 

research, and clinical practice, as well as 

her unparalleled commitment to Friends’ 

Central through her work as a class agent, 

reunion coordinator, and member of the 

Blackburn Society. 

Thank you to everyone who 

participated in Reunion 2011 and to 

those who shared their wonderful 

reflections with us! QW 

Linda Waxman Wasserman ’75 is the Director 

of Alumni/ae Affairs at Friends’ Central. 

It was a challenge and 

fun to help plan our 50th 

Reunion, and it was 

rewarding and more fun 

to attend and see so many 

classmates after so many 

years. Everyone had a good 

time, and everyone looks 

pretty good, too! 

- Julie Pontz Curson ’61

REUNION REFLECTIONS 

We probably all have the same reaction when 

we hear that another Friends’ Central Reunion is 

coming up “I can’t believe it’s been ___ years!” 

But, a quick look in the mirror confirms the 

decades since graduation. The reunions get 

better as the years go by. They become less 

about “What do you do?” and more about “How 

are you?” I was surprised by how close I felt to 

people that I haven’t seen in several years. What 

a wonderful time to celebrate, reconnect, 

remember those who have passed on, and 

support each other. 

- Dan Weiser ’76 

OMG! Our 30th Reunion was so meaningful 

and so much fun. Kudos to the Development Office 

for using Facebook to arrange everything. People from 

near and far arrived on campus, and the party continued 

into the weekend. It is so nice to be reconnected and 

feel the warmth of dear old friends. 

- Julie Cowitz Gordon ’81 

It was a great joy to get together 

with the wonderful people of 

the class of ’71. Kudos to Joan 

Alexander, for being the motivating 

factor in getting us all together 

again. She brought us to Friends’ 

Central from cities near and far, 

and the Reunion did not disappoint. 

We shared our news, some happy, 

some sad, but were all there in 

support of one another, just as we 

had been 40 years before. As in the 

past, we shared some great jokes 

(concerning someone’s vacation) 

and laughed harder than ever. It 

was so difficult to say goodbye. 

Here’s hoping that we can all get 

together again soon! 

- Liz Fried Richman ’71 

I had a great time at Reunion 

Weekend. The class of ’91 

(including its several honorary 

members) remains the same 

warm, caring, and friendly 

group I remember from two 

decades ago. I CAN’T WAIT 

FOR THE 25TH. 

– Max Kaufman ’91

Sarah Wallis Stevens writes, “My usual 

plans to divide the year between Old 

Saybrook, Conn., and Jensen Beach, 

Fla., were frustrated last winter because 

in early November I fell and broke 

the femur of my right leg. Rehab and 

a month in assisted living delayed my 

move south until March, where I stayed 

until May.” Her family is planning a 

party in September to celebrate her 95th 

birthday! “Six children, nine grandkids, 

and five ‘greats’ should make it a 

memorable affair,” she adds.

Dorothy Coleman Dangerfield is 

busy running her household, which 

includes her husband, Ben, and her 

granddaughter, who has two sons, ages 

3 and 4. “It is a most interesting life 

for us!” she writes. “We still do a bit 

of traveling, and went to Costa Rica in 

June. Ben and I allowed our son and his 

wife to take the zip line without us.” 

Charlie Russ is a docent at the Dallas 

Arboretum and Botanical Garden in 

Dallas, Texas, and has also given tours 

of the antiques in the DeGolyer House 

for the past 22 years. He is the treasurer 

of the American Museum of Miniature 

Arts, a non-profit museum, where he gives 

illustrated talks on irises, colonial furniture, 

and opera. Russ has lived in Dallas for 37 

years and retired 1989 after working for 

DuPont for 40 years. He has two children 

and eight grandchildren. In his spare time, 

he enjoys working in his garden. 

1947 

Brigitte Solmitz Alexander meets 

Martha Schmidheiser DuBarry ’44 

almost daily at the pool at Kendal- 

Crosslands in Kennett Square. She 

also sees Mollie Jones Kline ’51 and 

Bill Ravdin ’46, who live there. “The 

upbeat atmosphere and the mutual 

respect remind me of Friends’ Central,” 

she writes. “If you want to experience 

once more the good sides of your high 

school experience, come live in a Quaker 

retirement community.” 

1948 

Jack Banks threw out the ceremonial 

first pitch at a Florida Marlins game in 

May, a result of his being the highest 

bidder at an auction for the benefit of 

the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

in Hollywood, Fla. He writes, “The last 

time I threw a baseball was in 1946, 

when I was centerfielder and third-string 

pitcher for the FCS Varsity Baseball 

team (who was Inter-Ac League cochampions) 

… Unfortunately, my pitch 

was low and inside. But glorious! Does 

life begin at 81? This day it did.” Banks 

currently resides in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 

1950 

Marlee Turner enjoyed a busy summer 

season at her Northern Pines Bed and 

Breakfast in Raymond, Maine. Her son 

David works for Apple in Los Angeles;

in Dallas; and son John is an electrical 

engineer in San Diego. She enjoys 

swimming in Crescent Lake, Rotary 

Club activities, playing bridge, attending 

Portland Friends Meeting, and living each 

day. “Come visit me!” she writes. 

1951 

Shirley Smith Earle often gets together 

with some of her FCS classmates, who, 

she writes, “always take time to sing the 

praises of the Friends’ Central we know 

and the significant part Quaker values 

have played in our lives and still do, even 

at 78. There’s a lot of laughter at these 

gatherings, too, as we share memories 

and stories of many years ago. As an 

example, wasn’t our senior show a hoot? 

In case people don’t remember it was our 

adaptation of South Pacific. Jane and I 

still remember the duet we sang to Miss 

Bryant, our French teacher. As neither 

of us was in the chorus, we’re sure the 

audience was relieved to find it was a 

blessedly short number.” 

1953 

Frank James and his wife, Dell, 

celebrated their 50th wedding 

anniversary in November 2010. 

They moved to a condo in downtown 

Winston-Salem, N.C., after 40 years 

of living in two leafy residential 

neighborhoods. They are enjoying 

walking to restaurants, a movie theater 

that specializes in independent films, 

the theater, the arts district, and the 

symphony. “At age 75, having a CVS 

pharmacy right across the street and the 

post office a block away are plusses as 

well,” he writes. Their oldest daughter 

lives in Center City, Philadelphia, and 

their granddaughter, Keira, started her 

freshman year at Swarthmore College in 

the fall. She is the 14th member of the 

James family to go to Swarthmore. “My 

father, Paul M. James, M.D. ’25, was 

the first and graduated in 1929. We are 

proud of Keira and predict that she will 

love the school, the only college to which 

she applied,” he notes. 

1954 

Bob Jansen lives in Saline, Mich. He is 

a retired pastor and still helps at his local 

church. 

1955 

Toby Walters is currently serving as 

Chairman of the Board of Directors 

of Avow Hospice, the hospice that 

serves Collier County, Fla. He has been 

involved on the Board of the not-for- 


22 



profit health care organization since 

1994, serving on committees as an officer 

and chairman of a fundraising campaign. 

The mission of Avow is to provide 

quality end of life care to patients 

whereby they are pain free, spiritually 

nourished, and die with a sense of dignity 

and purpose to their lives. The health 

care provider also offers grief counseling 

and bereavement services to the families 

of the patients. 

1959 

Dick and Bonnie Forster Richards 

celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary 

on August 5. They met at FCS in second 

grade, started dating in ninth grade and 

have made a wonderful life together. 

Their three sons, Whit, David, and Drew, 

planned a surprise party for them at a 

nearby resort. All the guests, including 

their seven grandchildren, kept the secret, 

and Bonnie and Dick were overwhelmed 

by the love-filled occasion. 

1960 

Rich Ulmer is president and CEO of 

InVitro International in Irvine, Calif. 

His company, which develops and 

commercializes non-animal test kits and 

laboratory services, participated in the 

Eighth Annual World Congress of Non- 

Animal Testing Methods in Montreal 

last August. Ulmer also writes that his 

first granddaughter is just about to start 

her sophomore year at UC Santa Cruz. 

“Needless to say,” he writes, “we don’t 

feel old enough to have her that far along 

in school yet. Fondest greetings to all the 

Class of ’60, and let’s start thinking about 

a follow up to our great 50th Reunion … 

how about a 55th?” 

1961 

Joan Fleischhauer Smith was so sorry 

to miss her 50th Reunion. She retired 

in June after 18 years as Upper School 

Head at Roland Park Country School 

and 46 years as an educator. “I’m loving 

retirement!” she writes. “I will continue 

to do some work for the school, starting 

with a trip to Korea in September.” 

1964 

Martin Crabtree writes, “I have felt 

indebted to the values and education I 

received at FCS. As a result, my parents 

and I became attenders of Radnor Friends 

Meeting. In 1975 I returned to Switzerland 

and became a high school teacher of 

English, and I also taught German to 

exchange students. My wife and I are 

friends of the Friends, and although we 

are members of the Swiss Protestant 

Church, we attend Meeting for Worship 

every three weeks in our area. In a delicate 

and inoffensive way I have endeavored to 

impart the importance of as much peace as 

is humanly possible into the minds of my 

students, as well as the merits of a simple 

way of life. I wish all of my contemporaries 

everything they need for the future, and I 

wish FCS, its students, and faculty and staff, 

all the blessings they need!”

Tad Jacks ’75 received the H. Korb Eynon Award for Enduring 

Commitment and Service to Wooster School in Danbury, Conn., this 

April. As Director of Admissions, Jacks oversaw enrollment increases 

the past three years, helped create a new program for 3-year-olds, and 

chaired the search committee for the founding director of the Prospect 

School, which serves students with learning disabilities at Wooster. 

Jacks also devoted countless evenings to the review of the school’s 

mission statement and to the Educational Roadmap Committee this 

year. Jacks led the creation of new school viewbooks and assisted 

with the refurbished Wooster website and an online re-enrollment 

process. In presenting this award, Headmaster Timothy Golding, a 

former FCS faculty member, remarked, “The tradition of the Eynon 

Award as stated in the citation is long term investment in Wooster. This 

year, I am breaking with the pattern of longevity in years to focus on his 

‘investment’, and to recognize someone who in three short years has 

become indispensible to handling the enormous weight of the myriad 

of new initiatives currently under way at Wooster.”

Mary Crauderueff was profiled last 

spring by the Smithsonian’s ZooGoer 

Magazine for her work as an archivist for 

the Smithsonian’s collection of frozen 

biological samples. She is sorting and 

recording sensitive material such as the 

National Zoo’s reproductive cells from the 

world’s most endangered species. Her job, 

she says in the article, is similar to cleaning 

out your freezer so you know what you 

can make for dinner. “Like saying ‘I know 

the peas are labeled and they’re good, so 

I’m going to keep them.’ Organization is 

really key in terms of coming back to it 

and saying ‘OK, we know what’s in each 

vial and each container, so we can use 

it.’” Crauderueff has a master’s degree in 

library science with a specialty in archives 

and records management.

The Annual Report of Gifts acknowledges all those who 

have made gifts to Friends’ Central School during the 

fiscal year July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011. 

The Development Office has worked carefully to ensure 

the accuracy of the information contained within these 

pages. If you come across an error or omission, please 

accept our apologies and advise us of the error by calling 

610.645.5655 or emailing giving@friendscentral.org. Visit 

us at www.friendscentral.org/support.

Dear Friends, 

Thank you for the many ways you helped Friends’ Central achieve its 2010-2011 goals. We came 

together as a community to support the school we love and in coming together, we made our 

community stronger. 

Annual Giving 

This year, with the help of over 175 volunteers, 1,943 generous donors gave more than $1 million 

to Friends’ Central. A record-setting 79% of parents and 34% of alumni/ae translated their support 

for Friends’ Central into Annual Giving participation. Our students and teachers thank you! 

Perfecting the Art of Fun 

Our first all-school auction in decades, Perfecting the Art of Fun, gathered our community in 

support of financial aid at Friends’ Central School. Ninety-two volunteers and 271 guests raised 

more than $123,000, making a Friends’ Central education possible for talented students with 

limited financial means. 

A New Digital Media Lab 

A brand new state-of-the-art digital media lab was constructed at FCS this summer. Funds for 

this project were given by parents, Board members, and alumni/ae. Keep your eye out for exciting 

projects emerging from this creative space in Shallcross Hall! 

Alumni/ae Return 

Alumni/ae showed their love for Friends’ Central all year long. More than 600 alumni/ae returned 

to School for events throughout the year, culminating in our Reunion celebration in May. 

Many thanks to all of our volunteers whose great enthusiasm and generosity made many things 

possible! We are all looking forward to a new and exciting year at Friends’ Central. As always, we 

welcome your thoughts and your involvement. 

Best wishes,

Jordan Rubin ’98 

Even now, some of my best friends are 

the ones that I made at Friends’ Central 

in Middle and Upper School. At FCS, I 

had opportunities to be a member of the 

community in the classroom as well as in 

sports, music, and other extracurricular 

activities. Looking back, I can see how I 

benefited from the ability to be involved in such a wide range 

of pursuits. 

By participating in Annual Giving at the Leadership level, I 

am happy to support the curriculum and activities at FCS, 

both in and out of the classroom. I want to help ensure that 

the sense of community and high-quality faculty and staff 

that existed when I was a student continues today. More than 

anything, this is why I give back.

Alumni/ae Giving 

Sarah Brown ’07 

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at 

Friends’ Central, and I want others to 

have a great experience as well. That is 

why I give back. The spirit of giving was 

instilled in me during my years at FCS, 

so I knew giving back was important— 

no matter the amount. As a college 

student, I don’t have a lot to contribute, 

but I know that participation is just as important! 

Everyone can give something, and it makes me feel good 

to know that I can do my small part to help make Friends’ 

Central the wonderful place that it is. Giving back each year 

is a way for me to continually support all of Friends’ Central’s 

efforts to provide an exceptional learning experience, and is a 

small way for me to stay connected to the school that I love.

Planned Giving – The Blackburn Society 

Frank James ’53 

When you get older you start to think about 

what you want to do with your estate. If 

you have the opportunity, if life has been 

good to you, then you can think about 

doing something for those organizations 

that need your support. Each of us has 

to decide what is appropriate. At Friends’ 

Central, the faculty care about the 

students. They put students first. Also, the School has continued 

to live the Quaker principles that I grew up with in the Society of

Friends. My planned gift is my way of showing my appreciation 

for what the School has done and is an investment in the 

School’s future. 

The hardest thing is just to bite the bullet and create a will. 

Once you make that decision and talk to an attorney, it is very 

easy to do. We update our will every five years, as tax laws 

change and our needs may change. 

I encourage everyone to consider a planned gift. Anything you can 

do is helpful and is a way to do some good when you are gone.

BLACKBURN SOCIETY 

The Board of Trustees established the Blackburn Society to honor 

individuals who have made provisions in their wills or estate plans to 

benefit Friends’ Central School. These donors, who have informed 

the School of their intentions, have helped provide for the School’s 

future through a variety of gift planning vehicles including bequest 

intentions, testamentary trusts, life income vehicles such as pooled 

income investments, charitable gift annuities, gifts of real estate, 

and other deferred gifts. Their vision and wisdom extend beyond 

the immediate needs of the School, and their generosity provides a 

source of income which the School can depend upon and use to plan 

for generations ahead. 

We welcome with thanks the

Blackburn Society this year:

The Blackburn Society was named 

in honor of Eliza E. Blackburn ’22 

and her family. Their estate gift 

helped make possible the purchase 

of the Lower School campus 

and establish the Blackburn 

Enhancement, a salary supplement 

given to teachers each December. 

If you would like to inform us of your intention to include Friends’ 

Central School in your estate plans, or would like information about 

ways in which you can make planned gifts to Friends’ Central, please 

call Lydia Martin, Director of Development, at 610.645.5043 or

Parent Giving and 

Volunteering 

Donna Davin (’18, ’21, ’23) 

My kids love to see me at FCS—they 

are even proud of me! I think it is 

important for them to see me as part 

of a team. We, like most parents, are 

super busy, but my husband and I 

volunteer when we can, and school 

events are a great way to meet other 

parents. I work the Pumpkin Fair. 

I was a room mother and a member of the welcoming 

committee. I am also a phonathon caller. 

I understand how tough it is financially. I get asked these 

questions all the time in my calls, “Why should I give one 

more dime? Why should I give to financial aid?” Well, for 

one, the School needs the funds, and two, when other gifting 

organizations like corporations and foundations see a high 

giving rate among parents, they read that as a strong school 

community and are willing to give more. 

Financial aid is critical because economic diversity makes 

Friends’ Central great. Many of us send our children here, in 

part, because we like the culture at the School. That culture 

would not be the same without diversity, and giving makes 

that happen. I look at it this way: we already pay a lot for 

tuition; if we don’t give what we can, and are not as involved 

as we can be, then we are not getting our money’s worth!

On March 12, the Friends’ Central community gathered to
