FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOLDear Friends,During Homecoming weekend this past September, severalalumni and I discussed how much Maumee Valley has changedover the years yet managed to retain some essential, definingcharacteristics: the qualities of being both a challengingacademic environment while also being a family-oriented, andchild-friendly learning community. In spite of all our changes,Maumee Valley is still a great place to be a kid and a great placeto teach!Maumee Valley has always been a school that incorporates thebest ideas and methods in independent education, while alsobeing respectful of our own great traditions and rich history.It is precisely because of our deep roots in the past that weare able to continue to grow and stretch the boundaries as weprepare today’s students for the future.The theme of this issue of The Valley is “more than aclassroom.” From the committed donors, faculty and staff,current students and families, to all of our alumni out in theworld, Maumee Valley is so much more than a preschoolthrough 12th grade education. We have included our AnnualReport with this issue of The Valley to underscore the integralrole our supporters play in our success. It is through our sharedpassion for this little school in Toledo, Ohio that we continue tothrive and maintain our relevance.In my Homecoming talk to the class of 1961 and 1971 during theformal reunion dinner at the Belmont Country Club, I startedsinging a cheer that an alumna of 1971 taught me during dinner:“We are the Mohawks, the mighty, mighty Mohawks…” BeforeI could finish the first line, the entire dining room filled withalumni voices singing their old fight song.More than a classroom, indeed.Cheers,Gary BoehmHead of School

ARTWORK BY BRANDON PEEK ‘17

THE WOLFEGALLERYCELEBRATES20 YEARSSince leaving Maumee Valley, Peter Koelsch ‘99 built his life and careeraround art. He loves to make art, specifically metal-cast sculpture, andteach his perspective and process to others. This fall, Peter Koelschexhibited his collection in the Wolfe Gallery on Maumee Valley’s campus.“I remember the Wolfe Gallery being the most beautiful space on campuswhen I was a student,” says Peter. “There is no doubt that Maumee Valley’sFine Arts program played a major role in my later decision to become anartist.”LARRY ANNING, DICK CADIGAN ANDDAVID BURKETT INSTALLING THEWEATHERVANEPeter returned to campus this fall as a visiting artist-in-residence. Heworked with Upper School students on technique and perspective.For many alumni, the Wolfe Gallery and its exhibits were important partsof their overall experience at Maumee Valley. This was precisely the intentthat donors Fritz ‘47 and Mary Wolfe had in mind when they conceived ofbuilding the space in the late 1980’s. The Wolfe Gallery was created toserve as a facility that benefits current students, alumni and the greaterToledo region. Its philosophy is to be a teaching and learning gallery for36WOLFE GALLERY

FEATURESMaumee Valley students and faculty as well as an asset to the greaterToledo community in terms of exposure for the arts.Over a twenty year long history, the gallery has hosted more than 130art exhibits. Nearly fifty shows have honored Maumee Valley’s creativestudents, preschool through twelfth grade, as well as students in theregion by way of invitational exhibits. One particular show that standsout for Lower School art teacher and current Gallery Director, Lou AnnGlover, is Migwa Orimo’s interactive art installation for the school’s 125thAnniversary in 2009.“Orimo’s show was such a great experience for the students. She workedwith them directly and taught them how to install pieces. She and thestudents created a marvelous exhibit that told the rich history of theschool,” says Lou Ann.“IT’S BEEN EXCITINGTO MEET THEPEOPLE WHO MAKETHE ART, AND FORTHE STUDENTS TOMEET THE ARTISTSAS WELL.”-LOU ANN GLOVERWhen asked what has been the greatest impact Wolfe Gallery had on hercareer, Lou Ann answers this way:“It’s been exciting for me to meet thepeople who make the art. Also, I know how meaningful it is for the studentsto meet the artists as well. The Wolfe Gallery is a great teaching tool forthat very reason.”Other exhibits that Lou Ann recalls include one by alumni artist, BittinFoster Duggan ‘86. Bittin returned to Maumee Valley in 1994 to tell thestory of a major brain injury that had left her incapacitated. By expressingherself through art, Bittin was able to heal from the trauma of losing herspeech and ability to walk. Her exhibit, “Healing Arts through the Ages”was profound both for her and for all who witnessed it.MAJOR DONORS FRITZ ‘47 AND MARYWOLFEWOLFE GALLERY37

The Wolfe Gallery frequently exhibits the work of alumni artists. In addition,thirty different shows have featured visiting artists and illustrators orteams of professional artists. One of the very first exhibits in the WolfeGallery featured children’s book author, Aleda Mazza, and his collection ofdrawings. Mazza would later go on to create and publish a book from thepaintings that were exhibited in the Wolfe Gallery.Most importantly, the Wolfe Gallery gives students the rare feeling of beingfeatured artists themselves. In the real world, very few people get theopportunity to have their artwork hung in a professional gallery setting.Yet, the Wolfe Gallery features at least one student show every year.“It is great for students to have this experience. It gives them a real senseof empowerment and pride in their achievements,” says Lou Ann.HISTORYThe Wolfe Gallery is named in honor of major donors Fritz ‘47 and MaryTHE WOLFE GALLERY WAS DESIGNEDBY AMERICAN ARCHITECT HUGHNEWELL JACOBSENWolfe, who also created an endowment fund to support the maintenanceof the facilities. It was designed by the well-known American architect,Hugh Newell Jacobsen of Washington, D.C. The Maumee Valley planningcommittee was headed by David K. Welles, Jr. ‘70, President of the Boardof Trustees at that time, and former Head of School Peter Stevens. DavidBurkett, the former Upper School art instructor, and Larry Anning,Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, both played active roles in thedesign and building process as well.The gallery construction was completed in May 1991. The first few showsfeatured student work, including an exhibition which celebrated theartwork of sculptor, Louise Nevelson. The formal dedication occurredon October 23, 1991, featuring an exhibit entitled “Design Stories” whichcelebrated the creative process in the business community.38WOLFE GALLERY

FEATURESBefore the ground breaking, the space was used as the Upper School artstudio. Previously, it functioned as the school’s dining hall and kitchen.Arguably the most striking feature of the Wolfe Gallery is the blue stoneplaza that leads up to gallery’s main entrance. The blue stone plaza andthe allée of pear trees provide a beautiful outdoor setting for events andgraduation ceremonies. David Burkett had the original vision to use theplaza for High School commencement ceremonies.Larry Anning remembers Burkett’s vision. “David wanted an outdoorspace that showcased the natural beauty of the grounds set against thebackdrop of a portico entrance that would emphasize the importance ofgrand occasions.”GALLERYDIRECTORS:1991-1999: DAVIDBURKETT & LOU ANNGLOVER1999-PRESENT: LOUANN GLOVER & EARLGORDONEvery June, the Maumee Valley community has a stunning reminder ofBurkett’s vision and Jacobsen’s classic design. Graduating senior classes,parents, faculty and friends gather on the blue stone plaza. The graduatesline up on the gallery steps facing out to their adoring, proud parents andteachers. Behind them stands the Wolfe Gallery’s four pillars, strong andsolid, like the diplomas the graduates worked so hard to earn.As alumni return to campus, the Wolfe Gallery, in its artistic splendor,welcomes them home.WOLFE GALLERY39

DEFINING ALEGACY:DOROTHYJABARINTo correctly define former Maumee Valley faculty Dorothy Jabarin’s legacy,one should use words like: extent, scope, range, and expanse. There isso much Mrs. Jabarin did during her thirty years at Maumee Valley thatnarrowing her legacy to one thing is not only impossible, it’s inaccurate.There is however, a singular quality that she embodied. In the words of herfaculty peers, former students and family members, Dorothy Jabarin wasa tender and peaceful woman who genuinely respected and appreciatedthe humanity in every person she encountered.“SHE WAS MOSTPASSIONATE ABOUTHELPING STUDENTSGROW AND DEVELOP ASADULTS. THAT IS WHY WE HADA BOND, WHY SHE CAME TO MYWEDDING, AND WHY SHE ADOREDMY KIDS. I JUST WISH ISPENT MORE TIMEWITH HER, AND THAT MYCHILDREN COULD HAVE HAD HERAS A TEACHER.”-TOMMY PIPATJARASGIT ‘89Dorothy Jabarin taught Upper School chemistry, physics, mathematics,and later on, computer science at Maumee Valley from 1971 until sheretired in 2001. “Teaching was more than a career for Dorothy. It was partof her identity, part of her soul,” says Mrs. Jabarin’s husband, Dr. SalehJabarin.Whether Mrs. Jabarin was working with a student in the computer lab,explaining lab safety in chemistry, or leading a Winterim study to Egypt orthe Chicago Mercantile Exchange, she valued the opportunity to play a partin the development of her students’ minds.Mrs. Jabarin’s enduring characteristic as a compassionate human beingwas most striking to those students who needed something more fromtheir teachers. “Dorothy was always concerned for the kids who struggledin the classroom. Whether it was science, math or computer programming,she was able to make learning real and understandable for them. Thosewere the kids that loved her the most,” remembers Upper School ScienceDepartment Chair, Ken Meinecke.40DEFINING A LEGACY

FEATURESShe was also a teacher who encouraged students to have fun. Mrs.Jabarin’s son, Nabeel ’98, remembers one moment that truly defined heras a teacher. The chemistry students had built a sling-shot that couldlaunch water balloons over the wall of the old Upper School into thecourtyard. The Head of the Upper School at the time, Chuck Sprandel,quickly put a stop to it. “So my mom walked into his office with a waterballoon in each hand and said, ‘You better let my students have their slingshotback, or else,’ and jokingly held up the balloons. He gave in, of course.That was my mom. She could do that kind of thing because her studentsloved her and the faculty loved her too,” says Nabeel.It was from this deep passion for life and learning that Dorothy Jabarinspent the greater part of her time at Maumee Valley championing equality.She advocated for religious tolerance and respect. A Muslim herself, sheencouraged the school to allow time for Muslim students to pray.She also served as the advisor for the school’s African American Society.To this day, the Afro-Am Society continues to have a huge presence inthe student community. Because of Mrs. Jabarin’s influence, MaumeeValley students have a safe place in which to express themselves freelyand equally.Mrs. Jabarin was also a visionary. One of her greatest legacies is the workshe pioneered in technology development. She introduced Maumee Valleyto the first Macintosh computer in the early 1980’s. From the day thatfirst computer arrived, she dedicated the greater portion of her career todeveloping the school’s computer capabilities. When other schools wereonly beginning to introduce computers into their classrooms, MaumeeValley students were taking compulsory typing, programming and internetcourses, as early as third grade.“MRS. JABARIN WASGREATLY LOVED INTHE MUSLIM COMMUNITY.WE FELT SAFE AT MAUMEEVALLEY. OUR FAITH AND VALUESWERE RESPECTED. SHEHELPED MAKE MAUMEEVALLEY THE TOLERANTCOMMUNITY IT ISTODAY”-ALUMNI PARENT DR. SAMINA Z.HASANAlong with former faculty member, Arlene Schwartz, Mrs. Jabarin wroteand published the computer programming textbook Basics and used it as acurriculum aid in her classes. She also taught C++, an advanced computerprogramming course for Upper School students. What is most impressiveabout Mrs. Jabarin’s work in this arena is that she was completely selftaught.Today, due in no small part to her endeavors, the school boasts a1:1 student to computer ratio in the Middle School. Students in every gradelevel have access to the latest technology.DEFINING A LEGACY41

Middle School Science teacher, Frank Daugherty remembers DorothyJabarin warmly. “Back when the PC versus Mac debate got started [thefaculty] loved to argue for their own personal preferences. Dorothy and Iboth preferred Macs. Unlike me, however, Dorothy never made someonefeel bad about liking PCs. She wisely understood that PCs had just asmuch value as Macs. I know this is just anecdotal, but it demonstrateswho she was. She was able to see value in everything and everybody. Thereare very few people in this world who can see the person standing in frontof them as another human being. She was one of the few.”“I AM HONORED THATSOMEONE NOTICEDMY WORK. A LOT OF PEOPLECONSIDER SCIENCE OR MATH JUSTANOTHER CLASS THEY HAVE TOTAKE. BUT FOR ME, IT’S PERSONAL.IT IS A WAY OFSEEING THEWORLD.”-CAROLYN SOWA ‘12Dorothy Jabarin retired from Maumee Valley in 2001 and passed awayfrom breast cancer in 2004. One of Mrs. Jabarin’s former students, JulieDavid ’99, accompanied Mrs. Jabarin during a few chemotherapy sessions.When asked to define her relationship with Mrs. Jabarin, Julie answers,“She was like another mom to me. She taught me how to make baklava,and I shaved her head when she started losing her hair. I don’t know howelse to say it. She was the person who made me feel like Maumee Valleywas my family.”Dorothy Jabarin is the wife of Dr. Saleh Jabarin and mother to threeMaumee Valley alumni lifers: Annissa ‘92, Nadia ‘94 and Nabeel ‘98. Tohonor her legacy, in 2006, the Jabarin family established the DorothyJabarin Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is awarded annually to acurrent student who shows a keen interest in computers and the sciences.Two Maumee Valley students have been awarded the Dorothy JabarinScholarship since the fund was endowed in 2006, Devan Cortland ’09 andCarolyn Sowa ’12.Carolyn wishes to extend her gratitude, “Thank you to Dr. Jabarin, Annissa,Nadia, Nabeel and especially Mrs. Jabarin for giving me this greatopportunity to pursue my passions at Maumee Valley.”Dorothy Jabarin’s three children think back fondly and gratefully on theirMaumee Valley experiences. “We are so grateful for the many things shegave us, but especially for the sacrifices our parents made to send us toMaumee Valley. We may not have fully appreciated it in our younger years,but we realize now that Maumee Valley was more than just a school; it wasan experience. We are proud to say that our mother was a Maumee Valleyteacher.”A legacy, indeed.42DEFINING A LEGACY

ALUMNI

FOR THE BIRDS:ALUMNI ANDTHEIR POULTRYIN RECENT YEARS, many Americans have drastically altered theway they understand food. Whether it now means shopping at the localfarmer’s market, or converting the back shed into a chicken coop, ournation has been swept up by a revolution. Always the leader in the cuttingedge, Maumee Valley has a green house behind the Middle School thatis equipped to grow vegetables year around. It should also come asno surprise that our alumni are leaders in the food revolution, makingremarkable transformations in their own lives. But for those who haven’ttaken the deep plunge into total sustainability, let the following storiesremind us of the meaning behind the movement. To Jacob Selman ’97,Stephen Foster ’84 and Ami Gignac ‘92, the food revolution isn’t onlyabout environmental justice and making better economic choices. Foodis personal.ELLA ‘18 AND LILA ‘21 FOSTER WITH FRIENDCATHERINE BIGENHO ‘21“THE TRUTH IS,HAVING CHICKENS ISA REALLY SMART WAYTO DO ORGANICFARMING.”-AMY GIGNAC ‘92From the quiet of his bedroom, Jacob Selman ’97 hears the sound offamiliar peeping. Unlike most people who find five Red Bourbon turkeysplopped in the middle of their kitchen floor, Jacob is un-flagged. Withinminutes of the discovery, he posts about the mischief on facebook,sparking a lively discussion. These days, Jacob’s facebook wall reads as ifhe is writing a textbook on animal husbandry. Post after post, Jacob waxesphilosophically on a life in which food is something tended and cared for,rather than processed and packaged.Jacob is a graduate of the class of 1997 who now lives on a five acrespread in the midst of Montana’s sprawling wildlife corridor. Standing inhis backyard, the view is as picturesque as a Whitman poem, replete withrolling hills, conifers, a small creek and poultry. Along with his nine monthold son Sawyer, Jacob and his fiancé, Sabrina, are raising twenty birds thatinclude five turkeys and fifteen chickens.44FOR THE BIRDSJacob had a hard run after leaving Maumee Valley. In college, at theUniversity of Montana, he nearly died in a snowboarding accident. Since

that time, he has been in constant physical pain. On and off prescriptionmedication, Jacob has yet to find sustained relief. Although he says thatpain management and physical therapy will always be a part of his life,today, Jacob finds peace from working his land and caring for his birds.When asked if having chickens helps him cope better with his physicalproblems, Jacob responds this way. “I can’t say that having chickens issome magic cure for pain. But sometimes I will be outside watching themin the yard. Before I know it, two hours have passed by.”“I take my son, Sawyer, with me. We sit together watching the chickensand turkeys wander around, scratching and pecking. It just takes me to abetter place being with them, and being with Sawyer. For that little bit oftime, I forget about all the pain.”Jacob plans to take Sawyer on his first hunt next year for his secondbirthday. Until then, the blue-eyed boy helps his mom and dad with themore pleasant tasks of sustainable living. Brave beyond his years, Sawyerreaches into the laying boxes, pulls out a warm egg and plops it in hismouth.A TYPICAL FAMILY SCENE: A father cooking eggs for his family’sbreakfast. Stephen Foster ’84 scrambles them for his two daughters,Ella and Lila who are in sixth and third grade at Maumee Valley and comefrom a long line of alumni. The difference between the Foster’s breakfastkitchen and the majority of American homes is that their eggs were handpicked,fresh from their own backyard.ALUMNI“THIS LAND IS LIKE AGIANT CLASSROOM.MY SON SAWYER WILL LEARNHOW TO OBSERVE NATUREAND I CAN TEACH HIM ABOUTDIFFERENT ECOSYSTEMS. IWANT HIM TO KNOW THATPEOPLE HAVERELATIONSHIPSWITH THEFOOD THEYEAT.”-JACOB SELMAN ‘97Stephen, Ella, and Lila keep eight chickens in a small coop in the backof their home in Bowling Green, Ohio. They also have an apple and pearorchard and organic garden beds in summer. The Fosters have only beenraising poultry for two years, but the three of them talk as if the chickensare already extensions of their own family.“We don’t actually eat them, which is kind of a waste. We bury them likepets when they die. The girls help take care of the chickens and get alongwith them all,” says Stephen thinking of his daughters’ fondness for theirfavorite hens, Kayla and Mr. Duck. (Sadly, Mr. Duck passed away in earlyOctober before this article could be published.) “We actually don’t like theroosters,” informs Ella. “Yeah, they chase us,” finishes Lila. “We like thechickens that we can hold in our laps the best,” both girls agree.JACOB SELMAN ‘97 AND SON SAWYERTwo years ago, Stephen and Middle School science teacher, FrankDaugherty, along with Frank’s wife, Sherry Howard, and their daughterFOR THE BIRDS45

USEFUL TIPS FORTENDING YOUR FLOCKEmma, another Maumee Valley sixth grader, decided to add chickens totheir backyard organic plots, primarily for the benefit of having fresh eggs.Since then, Stephen, Ella, Lila, Frank, Sherry, and Emma have increasedthe sizes of their flocks and together have learned a number of useful tipsworth sharing:#1Tip #1: If your hens stop laying eggs, don’t panic. They are molting.Chickens start molting around twelve to eighteen months of age. It occursannually and lasts for a month, during which time a chicken sheds itsfeathers and stops laying eggs.#2Tip #2: Chicken waste is great fertilizer for garden beds and is considerablycheaper than other organic fertilizers. It breaks down quickly and doesn’tsmell that bad. Frank Daugherty recommends wearing shoes at all timeswhen walking around in the backyard.#3Tip #3: Getting Broody is when a hen starts feeling maternal and sits onher eggs. Over a long period of time, maternal instincts were bred out ofchickens to produce more eggs for human consumption. Every once ina while a hen will revert to her natural state. She stops laying eggs andsits on them instead. Ella and Lila Foster suggest putting golf balls in anesting box. The hens will sit on these until the maternal impulse passes.Stephen Foster doesn’t claim to be an expert in all things related tosustainable living. But one thing he knows: eggs. Stephen, Ella and Lilahave eaten every combination of egg dish you can think of: scrambled,fried, poached, boiled, eggs benedict, deviled eggs, coddled, baked,shirred, frittatas, quiches, etc. Stephen prefers shirred eggs, a dish inwhich the eggs are baked in a ramekin with butter, which allows thewhites to become firm while the yolk remains runny. Ella likes scrambled,and Lila likes fried eggs over medium. Despite their differences, all threeFosters agree that after two years, they are tired of eating eggs every day.AMI GIGNAC ‘92 AND TIM FOX ONBREAKNECK ACRES IN RAVENNA, OHIOCHANGE is no longer an unfamiliar or an unwelcome word in AmiGignac’s ‘92 vocabulary. At one point, Ami could have set a watch by theregulated, type-A structure of her driven life. After receiving the educationthat Maumee Valley prepared her for, Ami built a rewarding career in thecorporate world, working for an international construction aggregatecompany. Before leaving “Corporate USA” to pursue her own life’s mission,Ami was a general manager in San Francisco.“I was overweight and unhealthy. I thought about making a change for along time, but never seemed to have the right excuse. Then, one day my46FOR THE BIRDSSCAN THE QR CODE TO WATCH GIGNAC’S DOCUMENTARY ON

company in San Francisco offered me the chance to relocate. I thoughtabout it, and decided to move back to Ohio and start my own organic farm,instead.”ALUMNISince 2010, Ami and her life partner, Tim Fox, have successfully operatedtheir own small business called “Breakneck Acres.” It is an Ohio EcologicalFood and Farm Association certified organic farm that grows and sellsfresh heirloom varieties of produce, dry beans, and specialty grains thatare milled on the farm with a hand crafted stone mill. Ami describesher land as “the perfect topographical setting for organic farming. It isisolated from the larger, conventional farms that surround us so thereisn’t chemical spray from pesticides and fertilizers.”There is no doubt that Ami’s experience in corporate management was ahuge asset to establishing her own small business. Her approach to productresearch, advanced planning, and organization ensures the continuedsuccess of the farm’s operations. There are some things, however, evenAmi can’t control with enough planning and research. Enter Tim, a schoolbus and one hundred chickens. Nowhere in Ami’s business plan did sheallow for a giant flock of chickens, let alone the mobile chicken coop thatTim converted from an old school bus.THE BUS ARRIVED AND 100 BABYCHICKS FOLLOWED A WEEK LATER“Last spring Tim and I were driving in the country. He spotted a nice lookingchicken coop on the side of the road so we stopped to check it out. Heinstantly fell in love with the idea of owning chickens. I got a little scared.Tim didn’t buy a chicken coop that day because it cost $2000. I thought thematter was settled,” recollects Ami.An engineless school bus arrived the next week which Tim converted intoa chicken coop. One hundred baby chicks followed a week later. That wassix months ago. Whatever hesitation Ami initially felt about the chickenshas dissipated over time. “The truth is, having chickens is a really smartway to do organic farming. Their waste is great fertilizer, they take care ofbugs and pests, and their eggs and meat provide extra income,” Ami says.To share your own experiences with raisingpoultry and organic farming, or to start aconversation with other Maumee Valley alumnion this topic, visit:www.facebook.com/MaumeeValleyAlumniCONNECTBreakneck Acres and its school bus chicken coop have already become afamous attraction in Ravenna, Ohio.

HOMECOMINGMaumee Valley pulled out the red carpet for returning alumni during the2011 Homecoming Weekend. Beginning with the meeting of the AlumniCouncil on Friday afternoon, September 23, the weekend was filled to thebrim with social events and reunion opportunities. The Friday night alumnireception was well attended in the Millhon auditorium, along with PeterKoelsch’s ’99 art opening in Wolfe Gallery. There was an abundance of foodand drinks for all who came out. In addition to the music, food and drink,alumni toured the new facilities and remarked on the outstanding changesthe school has undergone since their graduation.ROLAND MACNICHOL ‘71, SALLYBALL STRICKLAND ‘71, AND BILLMITCHELLREUNION DINNER ATBELMONT COUNTRYCLUBFollowing the Friday night reception, alumni met up for after-parties atSandy Blackstone Carman’s ’64 house in Perrysburg and at the Attic onAdams Bar in Downtown Toledo.Saturday night was equally enjoyable for those who attended the reunionat the Belmont Country Club.

ALUMNIThe retired owner of a specialty steel fabricator in Toledo and later the coproprietor,with his wife, of a popular Maumee wine store and restaurant,Charles Sumner Ashley II died on October 2, 2011 in his home in Leland,Mich. He was 85.From the early 1950s until its closing in 1982, Mr. Ashley was involved inmanaging Formed Steel Products, the family business founded as ToledoWire & Iron by his father, Meredith Ashley. He headed the company, whichat its peak employed about 130 people at its factory on Tracy Street inEast Toledo, for roughly the latter half of that time. Formed Steel primarilymade enclosures, such as cabinets and saw and scale housings; one of itsmain customers was the Toledo Scale Co., son-in-law Bill Ross said.With competitors in the southern United States making inroads intoFormed Steel’s markets, and with his wife, the former Geraldine Teipel,retiring from a 25-year teaching career at Maumee Valley Country DaySchool, Mr. Ashley closed the business in 1982 and he and his wife boughta Maumee carryout that they renamed Maumee Wines. They soon movedthe store to Parkway Plaza, on the Anthony Wayne Trail, and Mrs. Ashleybegan serving food at a small “wine bar” they added to the business. WhenPortside Festival Marketplace opened in downtown Toledo in 1984, theAshleys opened a second Maumee Wines store there.The Ashleys’ interest in wine traced back to the years right after theirNovember, 1945, marriage, when the couple lived for about three yearsin France. They studied at the University of Grenoble and partook of thelocal vintages, Mr. Ross said. But Portside shut down in 1990, and within afew years the Ashleys decided to sell Maumee Wines and retire for good inLeland, where Mrs. Ashley’s parents had built a cottage in 1939.CHARLES SUMNER ASHLEY II ‘43(1925-2011)The Ashleys were high school sweethearts at Maumee Valley, where Mr.Ashley was one of the first boys to graduate from what had previously beenthe Smead School for Girls.IN MEMORIAM57

If you’re anything like the sixteen of us on the Alumni Council, you’reprobably feeling like you’ve seen a lot of change at Maumee Valley overthe years. There’s an extraordinary new Upper School building this year;there’s a performing arts center that’s the envy of anyone who graduatedbefore 1998, and much more. Depending on your graduation year, youmay be shocked to know that you now enter the school on Glendaleand not on Reynolds Road. Southwyck Mall? Torn down in 2009. Yetat the same time, the things we loved about Maumee Valley when wewere students are evergreen. The faculty is outstanding, the studentsare engaged, and Maumee Valley remains nurturing, stimulating, andchallenging. And the student body is as wonderfully diverse as ever.ALUMNIBut we all agreed that we, as alumni ourselves, need to work to bothstrengthen the ties of all alumni back to the school and to help connectalumni with each other.Here are some things to look for this year:_Bringing Maumee Valley’s traditional cupola and weathervane logo backto alumni communication pieces;_Increasing alumni involvement in the Smead Awards nominationprocess;_More transparency about the work of the Alumni Council throughout theyear;_Nurture school pride (and nostalgia!) Offer Maumee Valley sweatshirts,T-shirts, and baseball caps with the cupola and weathervane logo;_Strengthening ties with alumni – both those we’ve been in touch withand those with whom we’ve lost contact.Other agenda items include the re-design of Maumee Valley’s alumnicommunications materials. Alumni Council Member Joss Kiely ’01, whois currently pursuing a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and is thefounding principal of the Ann Arbor-based design firm Studio Jot, haspartnered with Maumee Valley to redesign much the school’s print andelectronic communications.As fellow Maumee Valley alumni who span the graduation years 1946 to2001, we on the Alumni Council are committed to engaging more alumniin upcoming social and networking events, as well as class reunions.If you know fellow alumni who are always saying, “I never get invited toanything,” that probably means the school needs their updated contactinformation. Tell them to email us, go on Facebook, call us, or stop byand give us their coordinates.Finally, I am beyond delighted to welcome our new Alumni RelationsDirector, Leah Whitaker ’00, to Maumee Valley. She’s an alumna of theschool and she brings a wonderful energy to the school.If you have general questions,comments or concerns, or need toupdate your information, now is thetime to reach out to Leah:lwhitaker@mvcds.org419.381.1313 ext. 112.CONNECTLisa West Alpert ’80FROM THE ALUMNI COUNCIL PRESIDENT59
