GatherinGs - The Putney School

Gatherings
In March, alumni events took place in San Francisco,
Los Angeles and Boston where Putney alumni, parents and
friends around the country met our ninth director, Emily
Jones. From the rolling Pacific Ocean in San Francisco to
the Putney Sing on a bright afternoon in Boston, the events
celebrated the Putney spirit. We thank Kate Ganz ’62
and Dan Belin, and Diana ’73 and Kevin McDonald for
hosting these events.
