Celebrating the Arts - Dwight-Englewood School

Chicago Sun-Times. On the web,
Zimmermann has written a monthly
column, “All Aboard!,” for trains.com
and feature articles and news for
expedia.com. He is an accomplished
photographer; many hundreds of his
photographs are in print—in both his
own books and others, and in the
aforementioned magazines and
newspapers. After concluding a 25-year
career as teacher and administrator in
independent schools, including director
of development at ESB and D-E from
1965 to 1978, Zimmermann began in
1990 an ongoing relationship with
Browning Associates, a consulting firm
that specializes in counseling schools
on development and related matters.
Zimmermann has served as lecturer,
study leader, and tour host aboard the
GrandLuxe Express and for Smithsonian
Associates and the Society of
International Railway Travelers.
The School will also recognize the 2011
inductees into the D-E Athletic Hall of
Fame. Baseball, basketball, and football
player Robert Brisk ’76, is a former
faculty member and served as Upper
School principal at D-E from 1980 to
1999. Susan Brisk Sharp D ’71 earned
multiple varsity letters and was the
1971 MVP in field hockey, basketball,
and lacrosse.

Last year’s dinner cruise around Manhattan was a big hit at Reunion. This year all members of
the Leggett-Umpleby Society are invited. See story below.
Leggett-Umpleby Society Formed
The Alumni Relations Council is very pleased and proud to announce
the founding of the Leggett-Umpleby Society, a group for alumni and
alumnae of the Dwight School, the Englewood School for Boys and
eventually the Dwight-Englewood School who have reached their 50th
Reunion. If you graduated 50 years ago or more, you are automatically a
member and invited to attend the Society’s events.
According to Co-chairs Nancy Robin Jaicks D ’55 and Armand Pohan
ESB ’60, the purpose of this society is to provide occasions for alumni and
alumnae to gather and connect with each other. Whether these gatherings
are centered on art, music, or education, you can be sure they will provide
an opportunity to learn as well as spend time with old and new friends.
The first event for the Leggett-Umpleby Society was a reception on April 8
in Hulst House prior to this year’s final Head of School Series concert by
315 East, our resident professional chamber ensemble. Approximately 25
members of the Society were in attendance and enjoyed the reception with
Dr. De Jarnett before the concert.
As part of Reunion Weekend, Society members are invited to enjoy a
dinner cruise around Manhattan, which is being sponsored by Co-Chair
Armand Pohan. Register online for this event on the Reunion 2011
reunion registration page at www.d-e.org/alumni or by contacting Maria
Sanchez-Gardner by phone at 201-569-9500, ext. 3413, or by email at
sanchm@d-e.org.
More events will be scheduled for the fall. Says, Co-chair Nancy Robin Jaicks,
“If you belong to the Dwight or ESB Class of 1961, or an earlier class, you’re
in luck! We hope to see you at gatherings of the Leggett-Umpleby Society.”
