Bulletin Staff Editor Julie Reiff Director of Development Jerry Romano Alumni Notes Karen Dost Design Good Design www.goodgraphics.com Proofreaders Nina Maynard Robin Osborn The End of the Odden Era Twenty-nine years ago a young Lance Odden took on the task of leading The Taft School and transformed it into one of the nation’s top boarding schools. Today, Lance and Patsy’s children are grown (Jake has a child of his own), and the school is in better shape than it has ever been. Their work here may be done, but how can we say “thank you ”or “good-bye?” Mail letters to: Julie Reiff, Editor Taft Bulletin The Taft School Watertown, CT 06795-2100 ReiffJ@TaftSchool.org Send alumni news to: Karen Dost Alumni Office The Taft School Watertown, CT 06795-2100 TaftBulletin@TaftSchool.org Deadlines for Alumni Notes: Summer–May 30, 2001 Fall–August 30, 2001 Winter–November 15, 2001 Spring–February 15, 2002 Send address corrections to: Sally Membrino Alumni Records The Taft School Watertown, CT 06795-2100 TaftRhino@TaftSchool.org 1-860-945-7777 www.TaftAlumni.com This magazine is printed on recycled paper.
