Bridging the Past with the Future: A Pictoral Narrative of The Episcopal Academy Plans for a hardcover book — a pictorial history of The Episcopal Academy from 1920 to the present — are well underway. Loyd Pakradooni ’65, VP of the Alumni Board of Managers, spent time with Anne Marie Heil discussing the thinking behind and the people involved with this nostalgic effort. Copies will be available for sale in the fall of 2009. AMH: I’ve heard that you are spearheading an effort to produce a coffee table book on EA. How will your book differ from The History of Episcopal Academy written by Charles Latham LP: The book the Alumni Society envisions is a nostalgic piece, a pictorial book with a strong emotional pull. We want to convey in pictures and selected text passages, the essence of the school, which goes beyond buildings and grounds and is rooted in the psychological thread that has defined Episcopal and remained constant since 1785. We hope this book will serve as a bridge from Merion and Devon to Newtown Square and will strengthen bonds between the school and our 4,400 Alumni. The essence of EA will survive hale and hearty, just as it has in the past. AMH: How did you get involved in this endeavor LP: About three or four years ago, a few of us, including John Rettew ’50, Bill Keffer ’84, and then Alumni Director Clayton Platt ’73 kicked this idea around. We had all been thinking of producing a testimony to the spirit of the school and our ideas started to gel. I serve on the Alumni Board as publications chair, having been in the printing industry since 1973. I was nominated to head the effort because at the tender age of 27, I co-wrote and published a pictorial history of the Main Line—a hardbound book that sold out two editions. Like the Main Line book, the EA book is intended to help preserve the past and also to show how the present isn’t all that different from the past. AMH: Who else is taking a lead role LP: Jim Garrison ’75, associate principal with RMJM Hillier, has been recruited as editor. Having published several books of his own, and contributed to many others, Jim has the discipline and the skills to pull the copy together and weave the photos into the story. Phil Unetic, a talented graphics designer who handled Princeton’s 250th anniversary book, is in charge of the actual book design. Ross Watson ’57 is a creative photographer whom we have cajoled into helping as well. His task is to capture some of the iconic elements of the community and to help us best showcase the people. Bob Lee ’52 is pulling together a group of former faculty from the ’50s through the ’80s to document some of their memorable experiences in a round-table discussion. Clayton Platt, returning to his role as a volunteer, will be videotaping the sessions and also will interview some of our “elder statesmen” like Bart Linvill ’33 and Hughes Kauffman’34. Lore and legend will be key to the book’s success. Lively vignettes of daily life at EA—things like riding the Paoli local or favorite hiding places during chapel—should bring back fond old memories. About 30 to 40 alums have offered to help write and Cannie Shafer, Hon., Holly Sando ’91, and Lori Kelly (past president of the EAPA and now board member) have added great ideas and content relative to the addition of girls and the role of the Mother’s Association, now the EAPA, in school life. AMH: It sounds as though you have assembled an outstanding team. When will the book be available LP: We have a 12-page sampler available which can whet the appetite of interested alums until the fall of 2009 when the book will be officially in print. We are still gathering material and encourage all alums, parents, and friends of EA to submit candid photos and intriguing stories. Contact Loyd Pakradooni at LoydPak@verizon.net, or call him at 610-995-9359, to arrange to submit photos and/or stories. spring/summer 2008 33
