A 2009 motorcycle accident left Will paralyzed from the waist down, but he had made tremendous strides learning to live as a paraplegic. He learned to kayak and competed at Lake Placid in the Paralympic trials. He also learned to play sled hockey and recently travelled to Philadelphia to play in a national tournament. He was a two-time participant at the “Life Rolls On” surfing event at Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina, and he monoskied in North Carolina and New Hampshire. His sister Emily Johnson shared the following: “Will was an inspiration to us all. He will always be a hero to me. While he encountered many challenges in life, the most recent being his spinal cord injury, he persevered and went on to get involved in kayaking, sled hockey, and monoskiing. He didn’t let anything hold him back. He had an infectious smile and a kind heart.” Holly O’Donnell ’05 and Daniel Szklarz were married last summer. Pictured with the couple are Kelly O’Donnell ’07, Peggy O’Donnell, Katherine Szklarz, Brian O’Donnell (holding Holly and Daniels’s son Keagan) and Jared O’Donnell ’14.

In Appreciation Remembering Alex Rogers ‘89 By Matt Hoopes Alex Rogers ‘89 relaxing at the 2010 Reunion with Jennifer Riley ‘90, MIchael Snyder ‘89, and Jon Gibbs ‘90. now I’m minus a very special one. His classmates shared the following remembrances of Alex: Alex Rogers ’89 passed away on December 8 after a second battle with cancer. I last saw Alex at Reunion 2010, but I had known him for 26 years and have wonderful memories of dog sledding and sailing with him during his Brewster weekends. In 2010 we had a lot of fun working on a Hoopla column (spring 2010) we wrote together about his antique business. Even after the return of his cancer, his final e-mails were upbeat, cheerful, strong, and positive. I know as a teacher I’m not supposed to have favorite students, but I did, many actually, and “He would much rather you open and share a nice bottle of wine than to shed tears over him. …I want Alex’s classmates to think about Alex’s loss. He had so much left to do. I think of the wonderful women he leaves behind, Adel and his kind mother. I cry for them!” –Michael Snyder ’89 “Alex had a heart of gold. He brought happiness, positive energy, and comfort to every situation at Brewster. … He loved to share himself and was always there when a friend needed help. Alex’s incredible energy, smile, and warmth made him truly amazing to be around.” –Brad Appel ’89, former roommate “I went to Alex’s memorial service at his mother’s home in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Megan Boyle ’89 also attended. It was a wonderful, informal gathering, his close friends and family all together, remembering and sharing stories about Alex. We talked about the boy and the man. His partner, Adel, recounted her first meeting with Alex. She was walking her active Terrier when it began to rain, and she took shelter under the awning of Alex’s antique store in Portsmouth. Alex opened the door and invited her in out of the rain. Shaking her head, Adel refused, pointing out that her dog was too hyper for an antique shop. Alex responded, ‘It’s only stuff. Come on in.’ A man without pretension, but with a true heart and soul. I will miss my good friend Alex, a person I could always rely on to be there.” –Temple Peterson ’89 In Appreciation Charles “Hank” Spaulding By Martha Trepanier ‘83 David M. Smith, Tom Spaulding ’85 and wife Mary, and Hank and Anne Spaulding at the Brewster Medal evening in January 2009. On Thanksgiving Day 2011, the Brewster family lost a dear friend, Charles “Hank” Spaulding (P ’85). Spaulding, from Kennebunk Beach, Maine, was 84. The Spaulding family enrolled son Tom as a freshman member of the Class of 1985 and, as many families do, quickly became engaged with the community and Brewster’s vision for the future, helping the school evolve with annual and capital support. The Spaulding name is well known to Brewster and represents, in the words of former Headmaster David M. Smith, “an example of extraordinary partnership, in every sense of the word.” In Memoriam Class of 1937 Jane (Smith) Piltz July 2, 2011 Cedar City, Nevada Class of 1945 Donald W.

Alexander Rogers December 7, 2011 Portsmouth, New Hampshire Class of 2000 William Archibald January 27, 2012 Morrisville, North Carolina Friends Dr. Jeanne H. Kenison January 13, 2012 Hampton, New Hampshire Charles “Hank” Spaulding (P’85) November 24, 2011 Kennebunk Beach, Maine Hank Spaulding and wife Anne have been quiet but loyal supporters. When championship jackets were needed when the budget had no funds, they were there. When additional scholarship aid was needed for a student, they were there; when a student center was needed within the Estabrook complex, again, the Spaulding family was there. Their generous support continued long after Tom had graduated – funding the Smith Center’s retractable turf – and the family’s support continues today. A civil engineer, Hank began his professional career designing and building bridges at Parsons Brinckerhoff. He then moved on to Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CC&F) where he developed a 7,000-acre ranch in Laguna Niguel, California, into a residential town with a population of 30,000. At CC&F, he also helped develop some of Boston’s iconic downtown office towers and suburban industrial parks. In 1967, Hank co-founded Spaulding & Slye Corporation and went on to develop office properties in Boston, Washington, DC, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Hank was passionate about his work and had a lifelong devotion to contributing his time and energy to the communities and institutions close to him, including Brewster Academy. Since its early days, families have partnered with the Academy to provide students with a variety of learning opportunities to develop into and succeed as adults. At this special 125th year marker, we pause and reflect and gratefully say thank you to the Spauldings for being such extraordinary partners. www.brewsteracademy.org 45
