PETER FINGER Annual Fund This has been a great year for the Annual Fund. In total the Taft family has collectively raised $2.6 million for the School, only $40,000 less than last year. I am deeply grateful to all the alumni/ae, current parents, former parents, grandparents and friends for their generosity and loyalty to Taft. Of this total, 38 percent of alumni raised $1.35 million. Thank you so much to all the Class Agents who worked so hard this year to raise these funds. I know this has been a difficult year for fundraising, and your efforts are truly appreciated. Special kudos goes to Class Agents Geo Stephenson and John Watling and the 50th Reunion Class of ’53 for winning both the Snyder Award and the Chairman of the Board Award by raising $307,217 with 86 percent participation. I would also like to recognize Class Agents Woolly Bermingham and Ross Legler for leading the Class of ’43 to 100 percent participation for the fifth year in a row! Well done! It has been my privilege to chair the Annual Fund for the last four years. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know so many dedicated and loyal alumni and parents. It is my pleasure to announce my fellow alumnus and classmate Dave Kirkpatrick ’89 as the new Annual Fund chair. I hope you all welcome him as he leads the Annual Fund to new heights! Sincerely, *Awards determined by funds raised as of June 30, 2003 Dyllan McGee ’89 David Kirkpatrick ’89 Taft Bulletin Summer 2003 17
