CFS, The School At Church Farm
Funding the Promise
Annual Report
2010 - 2011
From the
Head of School
Dear Friends,
The purpose of Church Farm School continues to unfold in the daily life and work offered
on this special campus. The means by which
that is being supported and to what ends find
important reflection in this annual report. Together, all of us at CFS say “Thank You” to the
many persons listed in these pages and others who help sustain the mission and make
this opportunity for today’s students possible. The fact is we would not be here without
you. Your kindness, prayers and charity not
only sustain us, but also provide a wealth of
confidence as we press on to help these able
Head of School Ned Sherrill with and talented boys fulfill their dreams.
his wife Lizette and their dog,
Cetti
We have chosen “Funding the Promise” as
our theme for this year’s report for two particular reasons. First, it acknowledges the founding vision, financial model
and the unique means by which we seek to be successful. Second, it is an
imperative, a calling to the many who understand either the Gospel mandate to care for those less fortunate than ourselves or those who simply
understand that they have a role to play in supporting a deserving young
boy who simply does not have the financial means to be a part of a school
community like ours. And as much as this report reflects on the year now
completed, we also reach for your help once again in the coming year to
make sure the mission is funded and continues.
A Strategic Plan 2011 is now in place and guiding our way forward. A Campus Master Planning project is underway looking to help us fulfill some of
the strategic goals on our campus and within our physical spaces. Your willingness to continue this journey with us and even increase the level of charity already provided will give us better footing in today’s economic climate.
Additionally, any effort you might make to help CFS expand the number
of friends who would join our cause is essential to our future. We will be
reaching out to you in the coming months for such assistance and introductions. As you have, I think newcomers will find their association with
Church Farm School most rewarding.
Again, thank you for everything you do on behalf of our boys!
With kind regards,
The Reverend Edmund K. Sherrill ll
Head of School
CFS Mission
CFS, The School at Church Farm is an independent boarding and day school for boys in grades 7 through 12. Our mission
is to provide a rigorous, well-rounded, college-preparatory education in a caring, Christian environment to help prepare
our students for productive and fulfilling lives. We seek young men of ability and promise for whom the CFS educational
experience represents an extraordinary opportunity.

I am deeply honored to address you for the first time
as Chairman of the Board of
the Church Farm School. Our
School turned 93 in 2011, and
this put me in mind of a comment made to me by a family member (who is also 93)
when I told her of my assum- Board Chairman Mark Carroll with his wife,
ing the chairmanship. “You’d Joanne, and their sons (from left) Thomas
better do a good job—there Carroll ’01 and Stephen Carroll ’00.
are a lot of people counting
on you!”
Well, she needn’t worry—and not because of me. We have confidence
that CFS will continue to serve its mission—to educate all the young
men who count on us—because we have you!
Church Farm School’s unique mission is to provide an education to
young men of ability and promise who otherwise would not have such
a wonderful opportunity. To achieve our mission, we rely on many different resources: a dedicated and hard-working faculty and staff, an
endowment nurtured over many decades by careful stewards, and the
sacrifices of our students’ families. Yet all these resources—as important as they are—would not allow us to carry on if we lacked the key
element that you provide: your generous donations, year after year, of
your time, talent, and treasure to the School.
This year CFS has embarked on exciting new endeavors so that we can
continue to educate our students for the world they will face when
they leave what Head of School Ned Sherrill calls “our little corner of
Creation.” We have a Strategic Plan that calls for an expanded educational curriculum to meet new challenges, greater involvement by
faculty in the after-school nurturing of our boarders, and the repurposing of existing space to make it more educationally useful. We are
also determining how and where we might begin new construction to
achieve our goals. I look forward to telling you more about these wonderful initiatives in the months ahead.
As ever, your support remains vital for us to move forward. On behalf of everyone at Church Farm School, I thank you for your generous
past—and ongoing—support.
Sincerely yours,
Mark T. Carroll

The Year in Review
Remembering Tyler Griffin
“He gave selflessly to
everything good about
CFS.”
Longtime Trustee (1948-2002)
and former Chairman of the
CFS Board of Directors (19852002), J. Tyler Griffin died on
August 10, 2011. According to
Head of School, Rev. Ned Sherrill, “Tyler was a life-long friend
of the School, giving selflessly
of his time, talent and treasure
to everything good about CFS.”
Student ideas build School’s “culture of integrity,
responsibility and respect.”
A
Trustee Morris Kellett, Ned Sherrill
and Tyler Griffin celebrate Ned’s
installation as Head of School in
2009. Mr. Kellett is now a member
of the Advisory Board.
According to former Trustee, Morris Kellett, “Not long after he
graduated from Princeton in 1944, Ty was asked to join the board
of directors by Colonel Shreiner, undoubtedly at the urging of Charlie Shreiner, Ty’s Episcopal Academy classmate and close friend. Ty’s
energy, good judgment and devotion to CFS were evident throughout the many years that he served as a board member and made
him the odds-on favorite to assume the role of Chairman in 1981.
From then on Ty’s leadership ability became increasingly apparent
as he led the board and individual members to assume an increased
role of responsibility in the governance of the School. He served as
Chairman of the Board with distinction until he retired from the
board in 2002.
“Ty was fond of recalling a conversation with Colonel Shreiner that
focused on the School’s accumulation of farmland that eventually
totaled over 1800 acres. In their talk Colonel urged Ty to look to
the School’s future and the need to plan to achieve his vision. The
sweep of land then used to grow crops would, said Colonel, become
the financial base to support the School’s growth. Much later, in the
1970s, Ty led the planning and successful accomplishment of the
series of land sales that enabled the School to offer an outstanding
education and growth experience to boys whose families could not
afford such an opportunity.”
In a letter to the CFS community, Head of School Ned Sherrill commented, “I like to think that Tyler Griffin and others around him became instruments of what Colonel described as God’s will and saw
themselves as such. With
care and commitment, he
helped build and advance
the wonderful School we
know today. He left us an
incredible legacy and one
to which we rightly look
forward to adding our part.
May God bless Tyler Griffin,

CFS Ethical
Leadership Program
generous grant from former Trustee Peter Hamilton brought the Institute for Global Ethics’ Ethical
Leadership Program to CFS. History teacher Doug Magee chairs the CFS Ethical Leadership Team composed
of staff and students and charged with identifying and
articulating values common to CFS’s very diverse community.
“When visitors enter CFS, they are blown away by the
students’ and teachers’ amazing energy and by all that
takes place in the School,” explains Mr. Magee, adding
that, “Students should also feel pride and take ownership of this community and concurrently of the life and
energy of the School.” He explains, “They should identify the reasons for this pride, and pass it down to the
students who come after them; one way to accomplish
this is agreement on common values and traditions.”
The three year Ethical Leadership Program is now in its
second year. Beginning in September 2010, the Ethical Leadership Team, composed of 12 students and staff
members, met weekly to define values and create a
body of morality common to the entire community regardless of differing backgrounds and experiences. The
Team focused on:
• Building School Culture: Team members strove to
identify and develop school values, establish traditions, and enhance students’ sense of belonging and
school pride.
• Ethical Dilemmas: Participants worked to establish
a “right vs. right” framework for ethical decision
making, create honest and open dialogue, embrace
CFS Boy Scout Troop
A
fter a year in preparation, Troop 1918 is off and running. With a headquarters on Church Farm Lane and
the involvement of CFS alumni, staff and parents, the Boy
Scout troop, long envisioned by Scout Master Don Burt
’77, will activate this fall with more than 20 students.
Involved in scouting for many years with his own sons,
Don had seen the positive effects of Boy Scout programs
on many young men and has worked to recruit others to
help bring scouting to CFS. Cottage faculty member Ed
Heierbacher will chair the Troop Committee. He will be
joined by Assistant Scout Master, Steve Choc ’02, Assistant
Scout Master Mason Burt, and Committee Members Nadine Sidoriak P’13, Marie Gehringer P’13, and Director of
Students, John Kistler.

differences and create space and acceptance for ambiguity.
The Leadership Team’s deliberations and conclusions
were disseminated in cottage meetings, classrooms,
and chapel services. This year and next, the work will
continue with the goal of institutionalizing the culture
that is created and eliminating all need for the formal
program.
Mr. Magee is personally passionate about this Program
and says, “It is especially fulfilling to see students come
alive in positions of leadership.” Paula Mirk, Director
of Education for the Institute for Global Ethics, adds,
“What I like best about our Ethical Literacy process at
CFS is the way students have had authentic roles in the
initiative. The students on the CFS Ethical Literacy team
have led classmates in compelling discussions about
ethical decision making, and helped everyone get clear
about their ethical operating principles.”
Ms. Mirk concludes, “I expect this to continue and look
forward to the students’ great ideas to build and sustain
CFS’s culture of integrity.”
Gains Momentum
With CFS alumni employing their special talents and interests as Merit Badge Counselors, students will earn badges
in law, environmental science, plumbing, hiking and back
packing as well as others. Students will move through the
six ranks of scouting, culminating in the Eagle Scout Rank,
which requires a major community service project.
A number of donors have already contributed to the establishment of Troop 1918. They are:

Mr. Henry N. Wein ’59
When J. Mahlon “Jim” Buck, Jr.
died last spring, CFS lost a longtime
friend and wise advisor, a man who
helped steer the School for almost
40 years. According to Jim Buck III,
“The School at Church Farm was
uniquely my father’s involvement.
He and Charlie Shreiner, who followed his father as Headmaster of
CFS, were lifelong friends, spending summers together in Cape May
and attending college together.”
Jim Buck
Charlie’s wife, Shirley Shreiner, confirms that the CFS-Buck family
closeness extends all the way back to a strong friendship between
Colonel Shreiner, CFS’s founder and the first J. Mahlon Buck. For
years and generations, the two families were close, and this alliance translated into Jim Buck’s abiding interest in CFS. A member
of the Board between 1959 and 1997, Jim chaired the Finance
Committee for many years, helping to determine the direction
of the School and overseeing the building of an endowment that
would benefit students far into the future.
Jim’s wise counsel was no doubt built upon a lifetime rich in experience and success. A Haverford School alumnus, he graduated
from Princeton after taking time out to serve in the army during
the World War II. In his later career, he helped to lead several
successful drug distribution companies, and, most recently, he
founded a venture capital holding company, TDH Capital, with his
brothers. He was also an involved part-owner of the Philadelphia
Phillies baseball team with his brothers.
The desire to ensure the longevity of CFS motivated Mr. Buck to
create an endowment, the J. Mahlon, Jr. and Elia Buck Endowed
Fund. “We will work with Rev. Sherrill and others to apply this
endowment in areas that would have meant a great deal to my
father—all in accordance with the School’s objectives,” said Jim
Buck lll.
According to Head of School, Ned Sherrill, “Jim Buck and others
like him served CFS when the School was vulnerable and building for the future. Their hard work, sound advice and steadfast
belief in the mission of Church Farm School rendered it a strong
and resilient institution. We are blessed to have known Jim and
be known by him, and we extend our grateful prayers and good
wishes to Elia, his brother Bill, and to his children and grandchildren.”
“It sure seems that the Phillies have the blessings of a good new
‘angel in the outfield’ this year,” concludes Rev. Sherrill.

The Year in Review
Ken Rodgers, Sr., Director of Academics
Implementing new approaches to educating students for the future.
I
n recent years,
we have endeavored
to
implement new
approaches to educating students
for the future
and, simultaneously, to maintain
those classic foundational, educational practices
that have, and will
continue to be the basis for a sound academic, social, and personal wholistic education.
With all of this in mind, CFS has, since 2009, continued strategic planning involving our entire community of students, parents,
faculty, administration, staff and the Board of Directors. This
planning resulted in the institution of our 21st Century Learning
Community initiative. This initiative’s goal is simply to transform
our CFS community into an effective, productive, and globally appropriate learning community for everyone involved.
This includes a revised and reinvigorated academic program that
offers a more complete and practical learning experience for all
involved. Specific areas of concentration include a new, more
flexible school schedule; a more STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) focused science and math program; a more
globally complimentary humanities program; expanded music
and art programs; a more personalized and student focused advisor program; an improved faculty professional development
program; and the continued integration of technology across our
curriculum.
These efforts culminated with the following success in the 2010
school year:
• 21st Century Learning Community initiative yielding visible
improvements in the overall academic program. Across
the board, students worked as active collaborators in the
learning process, showing improved critical thinking/problem solving abilities.
• Improved Standardized Test Scores (Educational Records
Bureau Test).
• Increased rate of usage of educational technology in the
classroom.
• Greatly increased teacher/departmental collaboration.
• Greatly increased student collaboration on classroom
assignments and projects.
• Improved Advanced Placement (AP) scores in all subjects.
• Increased community service hours.
• Reduction in students appearing on academic probation.
• Increased number of students on the honor roll, even with
raised GPA requirements.
• Increased faculty professional development options and
participation.
• Increased school average GPA, which signifies a higher level
of student achievement and readiness.
John Kistler, Director of Students
CFS is moving towards a one faculty model.
T
his fall, CFS gradually begins its move towards a one faculty
system with the installation of two young married couples in
two cottages. Shana and Marvin Garcia will move into an apartment in Catherwood, and Matt and Tara Hohn will live in Pew.
Shana, Marvin, and Matt all have
teaching and administrative jobs
at CFS, and Tara works off campus.
Other faculty members will have cottage duty on prescribed evenings.
This arrangement, as it evolves, will
provide a more home-like situation
for students and give faculty members an opportunity to truly be part
of the residential community.
Chuck Watterson, who has been
named Director of Residential Life,
and I are building on our experiences
in planning vibrant activities and en6
richment programs for students, especially during the weekends.
Last year weekend activities included a stepped up Community
Service Program, as well as more opportunities to engage in
sports, dances, and movies. There were four “School Weekends,”
during which all residents stayed on
campus and engaged in common
recreational and enrichment activities. Day students were warmly encouraged to participate in many of
these special events.
As academic and residential life
grow closer together this year, and
as we add additional activities to
our weekend schedule, we look forward to providing a genuinely more
enriching and nurturing environment for all of our students.
The Year in Review
Bart Bronk, Director of Admissions
The 2010 - 2011 year in admissions goes down as the School’s best ever.
B
y the numbers, the 2010-2011
admissions year was simply
the School’s best ever. Thanks to
augmented marketing efforts, an
increased travel schedule to feeder schools and recruitment fairs,
and a gorgeous new view piece
that highlights the School’s intimacy, diversity, and strong ethic
of care, interest from potential
families grew to record levels. Applications surged 10% more than
the previous cycle (itself a banner
year), creating, at 247 initiated
applications, the School’s largest
pool ever. Thanks to this strong admissions effort, and to returning student attrition rates that have fallen three straight years, CFS
will open in September 2011 with a record 190 students, 175 of
whom will board (up from 139 boarders just four years ago).
From this record applicant pool, 62 carefully selected students
were ultimately enrolled. Another 24 qualified applicants were
placed on a waiting list but, for lack of space, could not be accommodated. It is fair to say that for each new student enrolled, there
were two others who had hoped to fill that spot.
Our incoming students come from ten states (including newly represented Oregon, Washington, and Connecticut) and four coun-
tries. They bring to the diverse CFS
communities dozens of unique cultural heritages, including the School’s
first Pakistani and Sikh students. Their
interests and talents are equally myriad: the incoming classes include a
nationally ranked sprinter, a jazz aficionado, song-writer, and beat poet,
a passionate chorister, and an aspiring
geneticist.
While their talents and backgrounds
set them apart, it is what they share
that brings them together. Each of
these young men is just brimming
with potential, but has not yet, for reasons of circumstance, had
the opportunity to fully access this promise. The mission of CFS
directs us to serve just such students. Thanks to the blessings of
the School’s endowment and its wonderful family of donors, we
are able to continue to fulfill this mission in 2011; our 62 new
students are the recipients of financial subsidies that, on average,
cover 87% of the $60,000 cost of housing, feeding, teaching, and
nurturing a student at CFS.
Together, we look forward to discovering what fantastic dreams
may come for these boys at CFS, which for more than 90 years
has been the crossroads of tremendous promise and uncommon
opportunity.
Greg Thompson, Director of Athletics
Basketball and wrestling teams excel. Coach Horsey departs after 16 years.
C
FS’s athletic program achieved some of its greatest successes
in recent history. Coach Marc Turner’s varsity basketball team
brought home the program’s first District Championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the state tournament before losing
to the eventual state champions. CFS finished with a 24-2 record,
and sophomore guard Howard Sellars was named to the All-State
Third Team.
The wrestling program also distinguished itself, with six wrestlers
placing at districts and advancing to regionals. District champ Baffour Atakora-Bediako, a junior, became our first wrestler to reach
the State Championships. Coach Art Smith led the Griffins to a
2nd place team finish in District One.
Track and field coach Eric Horsey left CFS after 16 years to become
head coach at Downingtown East High School. His tenure included over 100 team wins, the 2009 District Championship, and a
Penn Relays gold medal. New head coach Tony Wrice has made a
strong beginning.
Other teams, including soccer, cross country, golf, tennis and
baseball, all had their fair share of success. Participation levels
on interscholastic teams were
high as well. It’s
safe to say that
our young men
are taking full
advantage of the
athletic opportunities available at
CFS!
Finally, in the
fall of 2010, we
initiated a very
effective strength and conditioning program to give our studentathletes an opportunity for serious fitness training each day. Students not only use it to prepare for competition, but to train their
body for peak performance and develop healthy habits for the future. Finally, in the fall of 2011, we are inaugurating a “Captains’
Program,” to give our captains the tools and knowledge they need
for effective leadership.

The Class of 2011
O
n Saturday, June 4, 2011 members of the CFS’ eighty-ninth
graduating class were awarded their high school diplomas
and school Bibles from Head of School, The Rev. Edmund K.
Sherrill II, and Chairman of the Board Mark T. Carroll. All 34
members of the Class of 2011 have found successful placement
in postsecondary schools. Rich Lunardi, college counselor, describes the counseling process and outcomes as follows:
“In the process of advising CFS seniors about postsecondary options, we strive to help students make informed choices that
will most appropriately match their unique interests and abilities. Those choices might include a small, liberal arts college or
a large state university; a military academy or a specialized program in music or the fine arts; a cost effective two-year school
or a study abroad opportunity. I am happy to report that the
34 members of the CFS Class of 2011 have all found successful
placement for the 2011-2012 academic year, and are well on
their way to what will hopefully be a very successful future. Let
me highlight of a few of these talented young men.
“Alex Severt participated in a summer engineering program at
MIT prior to his senior year at CFS. This led him to apply to the
school, where he was eventually accepted. Bonzie Mumphery
has talked about running his own restaurant for as long as we’ve
known him, and will take that interest with him to Widener University’s School of Hospitality Management.
“It’s been no secret that Josh Evans has a deep and abiding interest in the ordained ministry, and will explore that possibility
at Eastern University this fall. Melvin Huber, who spent a year
in Germany while a CFS student, will return there in September
to study at Jacobs University in Bremen, while Alden Dirks will
realize his dream of studying abroad through a Youth for Understanding program in Uruguay. Closer to home, Marty Evans will
attend Lincoln University, where he has signed an NCAA Letter
of Intent to play baseball. Two seniors, Sebastian De La Cruz
and Hee Je Eun, have chosen to pursue their varied interests at
Cornell University in the fall, while three other classmates, Derek Bennett, Cordell Long, and Gabe Lowe, will be seeing each
other on campus at Kutztown University.
“Looking ahead, the upcoming 2011-2012 school year boasts a
senior class of 39, the largest in CFS history. These students will
have all of the traditional counseling resources, plus the use of
Naviance, a web based career and college search program. The
Naviance database is populated with an enormous amount of
information that students can access with the simple click of a
mouse. We are very pleased to make this technology available
to the Class of 2012, and those who will follow in their footsteps.
“With ever more sophisticated technology to assist us, all of us
at CFS will continue working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for our students.”

staff members:
1. CFS’s own poet laureate Ray Greenblatt showed students
the beauty and power of the English language for 46
years.
2. Lou Spagnola, a brilliant musician and a dedicated
teacher, brought his own incomparable brand of great
jazz to CFS and its students for 22 years.
3. Bill Wentzel, Assistant Head of School, made a wrong
turn onto the campus more than three decades ago and,
has done so much so right in the intervening 32 years.
4. Webber Lewis ’80, CFS’s beloved “last farmer,” who
never met a person he couldn’t help and undertook every
job, large and small, has served CFS for 28 years.
5. Colletta Roberts’ compassion and ethic of care was the
first impression of CFS for hundreds of future students she
encountered over the past eight years.
6. The Rev. Linda Kerr, Interim Chaplain, spoke passionately
to the role of the Sacred in the lives of our CFS community and touched many hearts during her time at CFS.
7. English Department Chair, Christine Hutchinson, blessed
CFS with her presence for 16 years and was considered
“a mother to all of us” by countless students.
8. Jerry Dotson, who has a warm smile for everyone, has
been devoted to his work and takes his enthusiasm for the
Phillies with him after six years of service to CFS.
9. Lisa Ochwat, an amazing counselor for 14 years, tirelessly
organized students’ volunteer activities, making Community Service one of CFS’s proudest efforts.
10. Karyn Treibley, an incomparable science teacher and
fabulous tennis coach,
1
tirelessly shared her
skills and enthusiasm
with students for 17
years.
11. Beth Crook, the right hand of the athletic department and the library for 14 years, takes her lovely soft
demeanor and unfailing kindness back to England, her homeland.

Funding the Promise
From the Chairman of the Development Committee
Dear Friends,
CFS’s strong tradition is to be “all about the boys.”
Many alumni and friends have supported the School
for generations. As time passes, the need for scholarships continues to grow. Tuition at colleges and preparatory schools has increased at double digit rates,
but ours remain low and affordable for “boys of ability and promise.”
Jacques Vauclain
As ever, the CFS endowment is well stewarded by the
Board of Directors, and the earnings from the endowment have enabled many boys to benefit from Colonel Shreiner’s vision created almost 100 years ago.
However, CFS needs continued support, in addition
to the endowment, for that vision to be a reality for
many years to come.
• Foundations: Many
foundations support
institutions like CFS. If you are familiar with a
foundation or know someone involved with a
foundation that may benefit CFS, please contact John Wilwol in the Development Office
(610.363.5363 or [email protected]).
Financial support has generally come from the sources below. With gratitude, we ask for your continued
help to sustain CFS’s mission of service:
• Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax
Credit Program (EITC): Corporations receive up
to a 90% tax credit against state taxes for contributions to an approved Scholarship Organization such as CFS through the EITC program.
Please contact John Wilwol for more information (610.363.5363 or [email protected]) about
this very cost effective program for giving.
• Alumni: Strong alumni giving participation
rates are key to unlocking other financial support. Many alumni have realized how important it is to give back to CFS, so future generations may benefit from the education they
received as students. One example is the 2011
Talmadge O’Neill Alumni Challenge, which will
increase participation significantly.
• Friends of CFS: Many individuals have given to
CFS sometimes for several generations, because
they believe so strongly in what the School can
do for deserving young men. Two of these, Jim
Buck and J. Tyler Griffin, passed away recently.
Both were cornerstones of the Board of Directors and generous donors as well. Whether it is

Critically, it allows the School to provide generous scholarships to students of limited means. Thanks to the generosity of
many, 2010-2011 annual giving increased once again to $1,783,417; overall giving increased by 2%.

he operating budget provides for almost 190 CFS students, an outstanding faculty
and staff, the technology-based college preparatory curriculum, and a 150 acre
campus. Campus facilities include ten student cottages, a chapel, an infirmary, living
quarters for staff members, indoor and outdoor athletic facilities and a main administrative and academic building.
In fulfillment of its mission, CFS offers an excellent, affordable education, particularly
to students whose means would otherwise preclude it. The average tuition paid is
$5,600, and remains one of the lowest of any private boarding school in the country.
Each and every CFS family receives a substantial cost subsidy to attend the School.
Families are asked to pay only a tuition they can afford, to a maximum rate that is well
below 50% of the real cost. The average gross income of a CFS family this past fiscal
year was $65,000 for a family of four.
In 2010-2011, tuition fees provided 14.0% of CFS’ operating expenses. The balance of
expenses was funded through endowment (75.4%) and fundraising (10.6%).

Talmadge O’Neill ’86: CFS Life Lessons
T
here is an intensity to the CFS experience that many graduates will carry
with them throughout their lives. This
experience can make them more willing
to work hard, take risks and continually
seek and master new challenges in order
to succeed.
Talmadge, who celebrated his 25th reunion this year, along with his classmates
on the CFS campus, describes the experiTalmadge O’Neill ’86
ence of entering boarding school as inisays his experiences at

CFS prepared him to

pig farm. “Shoveling manure on your
birthday is not something you forget, but
is one of those things that makes you more resilient. Knowing at
an early age that you can succeed in difficult situations, positions
you well to meet tougher challenges later in life,” he says.
A wrestler at CFS who was voted
MVP in his senior year, Talmadge
remembers that wrestling coach
Art Smith’s exhortations to work
harder than the competition led
to defeating teams from larger
schools. He also extols his other teachers’ dedication, recalling that Mr. Greenblatt insisted
that students be able to read
every page of the daily newspaper including the stock market
tables. For Talmadge, this was
an early introduction to personal finance.
Following graduation, Talmadge
attended Claremont McKenna
College, where he studied Government and Foreign Affairs.
From college, he moved to the
Czech Republic and later returned to the US to attend the
University of Virginia’s Darden
School of Business. After graduation, he worked for the Boston
Consulting Group in London for
several years before joining a
small start-up called GoTo.com
in Southern California that commercialized the concept of paid
search results, and was later
sold to Yahoo! After GoTo.com,
Talmadge co-founded MeziMedia which was sold to ValueClick (NASDAQ: VCLK) in 2007.

Since then he has cofounded both Vivo
Holdings, which is
the fastest growing
nationwide pool servicing company, and
Juvo Capital which
invests primarily in
internet and late
stage
greentech
companies.

the 2011-12 Alumni Annual Fund.
Talmadge has issued
a landmark challenge to increase
CFS Alumni Giving
to 30% this year. He
explains, “The idea
behind the challenge is that with just under 1000 living alumni,
we cannot provide 100% of
the financial assistance that
CFS needs to carry out its
mission. But what we can
do is show our support for
the School by increasing
the percentage of alumni
that give annually to CFS.

Increased gift to the Alumni Annual Fund: If current
donors increase their support, The Talmadge O’Neill
Alumni Challenge will match the increase 1:1. For example, if a donor increases his annual gift from $50 to
$100, the $50 increase will be matched, making the total gift $150.

New and Increased gifts will be matched up to a combined total of $50,000.
4.
30% Alumni Participation Bonus: If Alumni participation reaches 30% this fiscal year, The Talmadge O’Neill
Alumni Challenge will contribute an additional $10,000
to the Annual Fund.
Talmadge contributes to his
college and graduate school,
but believes that his contribution to CFS is more important. “The mission of taking
disadvantaged, adolescent
kids and giving them the
tools to better their lives is
an honorable one. The earlier you act in a child’s life,
the greater difference you
make. I hope other alumni
will join me in helping and
supporting the CFS mission,”
he concludes.

There is no other place like
Church Farm School. I am
who I am today because
of the experiences I had as
a CFS student.
Today, Stu Brackney is a
joyful man having had
a long and happy marriage and several fulfilling
careers. The late fifties
found him, a child somewhat on his own, living on Stu Brackney ’62 (right) and his wife, Mary Menacker, surrounded by family members, renewed
the CFS campus most of
their vows in the Chapel of the Atonement in July
the year. However, he re- 2011. Head of School, Rev. Edmund K. Sherrill II,
calls his student days with officiated.
delight—he loved driving
tractors and, an early riser to this day, milking the cows.
Alone in the Chapel of the Atonement doing chores, he would stand behind the pulpit and pretend to preach a sermon. His melodious voice
served him well in later life, when he lobbied state and national congressional committees to provide services to the deaf, when he hosted a cable TV show on Kaleidoscope, and when he became a sports announcer
covering high school sports, major league baseball games, and semi-pro
football games.
Unable to return to CFS for his senior year (he later received an honorary
degree), he finished high school in Florida and graduated from Florida
Southern College in 1966. Designated a Distinguished Military Graduate
in his Army ROTC program, he served in Germany and Vietnam. After
discharge, it was back to Europe for travel and work.
Later in Philadelphia, he began a distinguished career in rehabilitation
and advocacy for the deaf. In 1974, he earned a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling for the Deaf from the University of Arizona and began a
portion of his life’s work, which culminated in being named Executive Director of the Arizona Commission for the Deaf, an agency he had helped
to create. Subsequently recruited to direct other state agencies, he went
on to serve as a city manager in several Arizona cities.
Stu’s work on behalf of the deaf, which included testimony before Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater’s committee about the availability of closed
captioning in television sets, helped to change a paradigm—whereas
once people with deafness were largely denied social intercourse, today
they are an integral part of society.
Renewing his vows in the Chapel of the Atonement surrounded by this
wife and children in July 2011 was a high point in Stu’s life. The young boy,
who once yearned to take a Sunday drive in someone’s car, now travels
all over the world, yet returns to CFS. “As the Colonel used to tell us, CFS
is like the parable of the mustard seed—you look at the CFS campus today and see what the smallest seed has brought about,” he muses.

The Eighth Wonder of the World
Favorite Book: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Future Plans: Earn a bachelors
degree in architecture and build the eighth wonder of the world. (Greystock, 1993)
When David Hatchard ’93 composed this for
his senior yearbook page, he may not have
dreamed that today he would be building Apple
Stores across the United Kingdom. And these
stores could just be the eighth wonder of the
world!
The School’s great diversity and its conscientious, caring teachers were CFS’s most important qualities for David. “These teachers taught
in the classroom, coached my teams, and led by
example after school and on weekends,” he explains. Art teacher Jenny Sanderson was a key
influence. With her guidance, David planned
sculptures and containers, built them in clay
and fired them in the kiln - the inspiration for David Hatchard ’93 and his bride,
a distinguished career in architecture. Coach June, celebrate their wedding in
Art Smith taught him discipline in chemistry Napa.
class and on the wrestling mat, which became
the foundation for a strong work ethic and stamina during long hours of design
studios at University and later in the professional world.
On CFS Career Day, David met an architect, an encounter which established the
direction of his professional life. Though he always enjoyed building things with
his hands, he began to think about the impact of architecture and how to shelter people in different ways. After CFS, he attended the New Jersey Institute of
Technology, where he studied architecture. Armed with a BS in architecture and
internship experience with a Newark architecture firm, he started his career in
New York City designing and building residential and community space projects
for Nobel prize winners at Rockefeller University, one of the leading biomedical
research institutions in the world.
Later, working with a general contractor, he built homes for Fortune 500 and celebrity clients in Manhattan. He next served as Senior Project Manager for the
Lincoln Center Development Project. “This was a natural evolution of my career
and a huge step forward for me, as I had an opportunity to engage with board
members, the president of Lincoln Center, and world class architects and engineers,” says David. Involved in numerous fit-out projects, some incorporating
digital art/media signage, he also managed the pre-construction phase of a four
star restaurant at Lincoln Center.
David currently oversees the development of all Apple Stores in the United Kingdom. His role as European Union Development Manager starts at real estate
development and takes him through design, construction and grand openings.
On June 25th, 2011, he opened his first store in England (The Oracle at Reading)
and recently opened Festival Place in Basingstoke, England.
Inspired by his own CFS Career Day, David enhanced the experience by hosting a
group of CFS students in New York City while he was at Lincoln Center. He took
them on his then-current construction sites, took them to see a New York Philharmonic rehearsal, viewed the British Posters exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, and strolled through Central Park, whetting their appetites for the visual
and musical arts. David’s goal was to inspire and encourage the next generation
of CFS graduates to achieve anything they put their minds to.
David and his wife, June, are moving from New York City in October to live in
London with their cat, Nomo.

Funding the Promise
The Angel Fund
The Janet C. Hartzell “Angel Fund” was created in memory of long-time employee and devoted servant,
Janet Hartzell. Both the School and Janet’s children (CFS Director of Alumni Relations Lori McDermott, Ginny
McCann and Diane Hartzell) established this fund in her honor with an initial investment of what Janet
would have received in added incentive had she been able to take advantage of a retirement package being
offered by the School. It is intended to help certain families bridge an existing financial gap in tuition fees
should their financial circumstances change unexpectedly.
