elcome to the Summer/Fall 2013 edition of The Dubliner,
the Magazine of Dublin School. I want to congratulate Erika
Rogers and her team in the Alumni Office for the vision and
effort that went into creating this fresh look to the magazine. In this issue, you
will find that we are highlighting the power of sports in adolescent development.
Many of you experienced the transformative power of sport during your time
at Dublin School and we wanted to share with you the wonderful things taking
place on our teams at Dublin today.

The photo on the cover captures so much of what is right about sports at Dublin. It
features mountain biking, one of our newest and most popular sports, and one that
takes full advantage of our beautiful 400 acre campus. When I think of the excitement that accompanied the growing sport of skiing in the United States in the 1940’s
and 1950’s I see parallels to the growth of mountain biking as a sport today. It fulfills
Paul Lehmann’s goal of getting kids outside, exercising vigorously, and working as a
team to learn new skills. The expression on junior Myles Spencer’s face, with “Truth
and Courage” on his shoulders, captures the grit and determination that we work to
develop in our young men and women. I would describe Myles as the classic Dublin
student; a strong student, a kind and thoughtful person, and confident as both an
individual and as a member of a team. Myles is a strong oarsman, a leader on our
robotics team and is currently conducting an independent study into autonomous
robotic navigation with Dr. Kennedy. And, I almost forgot, he built the bike he is racing in the photo!
We hope you enjoy the stories you will find between these covers and we also hope
that you continue to tell us about your journeys after leaving Dublin School. And better yet, come back and visit. Bring your bike. ■

In May, the junior class ventured to northern
Maine for their annual whitewater rafting
trip to New England Outdoor Center (NEOC)
owned by Matt Polstein ’79. A few students
decided to “warm up” with a plunge into
Millinocket Lake, in the shadow of the famed
Mt. Katahdin.

Dublin School Commencement 2013
Seniors, some of you have asked me what I
think of your class. You know what I think of your class?
I will tell you. Your class has transformed Dublin School. People
talk about these great younger students coming up in the school
behind you, and you know what, we would not have been able to
attract these kids if it had not been for the work you have done
over the last four years. Some of us on the faculty talk about a
tipping point that occurred around two years ago, a point where
you and some of your other peers took responsibility for the culture of the school. You did not work against us, you worked with
us, you challenged yourselves and you challenged us to make the
school a richer, more understanding, more humble, more inclusive, more academic, more athletic, more creative community.
You demanded more intellectualism in the classroom, more intensity on the playing fields, and to be taken seriously as artists.
You made it okay to stay young and enjoy youthful innocence.
You did not do this by writing petitions or making speeches.
You accomplished this through your actions and through your
behavior. You are a class of individuals and you have created a
culture where younger students can seek their own selves. I am
indebted to you.
—Brad Bates, Head of School
The motto of Dublin School is Truth and
Courage. If I had the power to rewrite this motto, I would
add a third word which I believe is the logical and spiritual
descendent of Truth and Courage. That word is Decency — an
immensely powerful idea comprising much of what the Romans
referred to as private virtue. At its highest level, decency is the
willingness and integrity to do what is fundamentally right,
even when those around us may disagree. Decency occasionally
requires that we suspend the rules that otherwise govern us,
but only in the quest to do what is right and necessary. Truth.
Courage. Decency. Strong and immensely powerful ideas. If
you can find a way to live your lives by these words, then I have
great confidence that you’re going to be all right.
—Peter Imhoff, President, Board of Trustees
So unlike the graduation speech I heard 30
years ago, I am not telling you to simply love the law but to
do the right thing. To know what is right requires more work
than it used to. Do the work. I think you are uniquely capable of
this because your school motto is Truth and Courage. As Benjamin Disraeli said, “Circumstances are beyond human control,
but our conduct is in our own power.” Take responsibility for the
6
power you possess. When in doubt, always find the most objective truth of a given situation and act with courage to do what
you believe is right. Thank you for inviting me to speak to you
today and my best to the Class of 2013.
—Brooke Comer, Graduation Address
Seniors, our world is ending. And I don’t mean that in
some teenager-melodramatic kind of way. I mean that anything
that we have done up to this point, has passed and is unimportant. High school is its own world where you find yourself and
at Dublin we have, but now we are moving on. What is going to
stick with us are the lessons that we learned from these faculty
members, both inside and outside the classroom. The teamwork
that won us the championships, and the moments that brought
us our own Moxie. We learned life lessons from each other and
we should never forget them. A part of this whole thinking about
endings is the moments leading up to the end. I think it is really
cool when the last thing someone said can be documented. What
will you leave this earth with before its demise? Hopefully you
leave it with something better than thoughts on an ice-cream
soda. Dublin Class of 2013, “Go and seek your great perhaps!”
—Alexis Andrus, Senior Student Address
The idea of a graduation speech is a hard one
to grapple with, but I was certain that I wanted to write
something memorable, even if it lasts for a fleeting second. This
moment is probably the most important accomplishment of our
lives. But graduating high school should not and will not be our
greatest life accomplishment. It deserves a toast and polite applause, because more challenging experiences to overcome are
on the horizon. All of this caused me to come to the conclusion
that the best strategy would be to inspire hope. The one thing
that seems to do the trick is a memorable, hopeful, political
slogan. After sifting through the decades of political slogans,
the correlation between these catchy phrases and graduation speeches became apparent. I took presidential campaign
slogans, a famous Roosevelt quote, a line from The Dark Knight
and The Help to create the most patriotic, inspiring, hopeful,
sloganfied, memorable ending in graduation history. Here goes
my most memorable ending. “We Can Believe” in ourselves, and
our Dublin education, taking us “All the way to our destined
futures.” Always remember that “Yes we can!” And that: “You is
kind. You is smart. You is important.”

“HAIR”
L
ast year’s musical production
was the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical
“HAIR.” The show made its Broadway debut in
1968 after a trial run Off-Broadway the year before.
James Rado and Gerome Ragni had spent months
attempting to convey the angst of youth trying to
come to grips with not only the conscription into
the Vietnam War, but also the many social and
cultural issues of that chaotic time. The result was
“HAIR,” an immediate success. It broke new ground
in theater—defining the genre of “rock musical,”
using the first racially integrated cast and inviting
the audience onstage for a “Be-In” finale. Our
production afforded the directors the opportunity
to address the themes of race, pacifism, religion,
protest, and literary symbolism, not only with
our large cast, but the rest of the Dublin School
community as well. As these photos suggest, it
was a joyous, contemplative and love-filled
February weekend!

Everyone Works in Admissions
Opening Day 2013
I
am happy to report that we have had another great year
in the Dublin Admissions office. Our task last year was
ambitious and with the help of so many teachers, parents,
alumni, and friends in the extended Dublin community, we
increased boarding admissions and replaced the largest graduating class Dublin has seen. I was a little worried going into the
year knowing we had such a monumental task at hand. I knew
that we would need to be running on all cylinders and would
have to utilize as many connections as possible to get this job
done.
My notes, therefore, in this issue of The Dubliner are here
to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helps us enroll
the school each year. I’ve said it before and it bears repeating.
Visitors to campus truly witness a warm, welcoming, and very
authentic reception when they are on tour. Teachers open their
classrooms sometimes inviting perspective students into the
discussion. Students smile, offer a hand, hold a door, ask a
question, and start a conversation. Present parents make phone
calls, sometimes lasting one to two hours answering tough
questions and offering their ‘unbiased’ view. But, let’s face it.
No one is really neutral on the subject of Dublin. Our teachers
love working here. Our students love meeting new families and
sharing their own story about how they picked this place. And
our parents are every bit a part of the fabric as their children
are. They don’t just send their children to school at Dublin. They
engage with teachers and advisors; they offer suggestions; they
12
know their voice will be heard and they, too, want to be part
of the conversation. No one knows this place better than the
faculty, parents, alumni and of course our current students. In
the end, it is their voices that matter most.
As I head into my fifteenth year working in the field of
admissions, I have often been heard saying, “everyone works
in admissions!” My mantra used to get the occasional nod of
agreement, (probably a few eye rolls) and yes, there were always
a few folks who jumped in to offer to help. But once again, I
have witnessed that Dublin School is truly different. Not only
is everyone willing to help, but the faculty, the student ambassadors, parents and alum’s understand that they can help shape
this amazing student body.
The field of admissions is changing rapidly. As a new generation begins to send their children to boarding school, families
really need convincing that this is a sound investment. They
want to see the evidence and witness the product. They are
not going to take the admission office’s word alone. Brochures
do a small part of the job and the website does an increasingly
larger part. But it is the story that our teachers tell, the way
our students act, and the conversations parents have with each
other, that matter most. So thank you Dublin for continuing to
surprise and deliver. I am very thankful to be at a school that
knows itself so well, and where everyone is willing to put in the
heart and time.

The Drive
Teach
to
T
By Brad Hoffman
o be a teacher means to be driven by an insatiable
desire to help others live an intellectual life. Whether it is the
exquisite intricacies of Donne’s poetic conceits, or the more
complex inductions of integer-valued polynomials, a teacher’s
fulfillment comes with a student’s clearer understanding of the subject at hand.
I came to this realization shortly after I started my teaching career.
Like so many who preceded my brief tenure at Dublin, I
learned how to be a better teacher by doing. As a recent graduate at that time, I came to the classroom believing that only a
mastery of the subject was needed to be an effective teacher.
I thought that students would accept what I taught, think it
through for themselves and learn. Needless to say, I was wrong.
I quickly learned that teaching required practice, empathy,
patience and skill. While I thought I possessed each of these
qualities, it was my mentor, Pam Snitko, who taught me that
great teachers reveal their love of teaching and passion for the
intellectual life.
“Let the kids see what you love. Kids don’t learn from adults
who don’t care about what they teach. They are inspired by
what you love.”
This year, Dublin School welcomes eight new faculty members, each of whom knows what it means to love what they do.
While some are new to the profession, each is dedicated to the
real action of meaningful and intentional learning. Each of us
has entered this profession through unique circumstances, but
we all share in the drive to be a part of a genuine educational

community. We want to aid in the emergence of knowledge through dedicated and
determined work in the classroom, on the sports fields and in dorm life.
Michael and Nina Silitch, and their two sons, Birken and Anders, have decided
to return to the States after 12 years in Chamonix, France. Nina is the first American
ever to win the World Cup in Ski Mountaineering Racing. She won the gold for the
Sprint event in Tromoso, Norway in mid April 2012 and again won the gold in April
2013. Also in 2013, she received the silver at the World championships. While only
skiing on the World Cup circuit for the past four years, Nina is ranked among the top
10 racers for the past three years. She has decided to return to the states and teaching because, as she states, her heart lives in the classroom and coaching. When asked
about applying her skiing career to her home life and as a teacher, Nina said,
“Skiing has taught me and my family to follow your dreams through hard work,
commitment and dedication as well as sacrifice. To be able to achieve what I have done
later in life is hopefully an inspiration to others that they too can work towards something they might never think they could do. My message to others is to reach and aim
high! Go for it! Live your dreams.”
Nina will be teaching French and Art, coaching the girls’ varsity soccer team, and,
of course, serving as head coach for the Nordic ski team. She will also be working as a
dorm parent in the newly constructed Monadnock Dormitory.
Michael Silitch’s career as a Mountain Guide has afforded him the opportunity to
travel the world, from New Hampshire to Washington State, Switzerland and France.
Michael is a marketing director, career ski guide, consultant, writer, instructor and,
most recently, owner of the High-Alpine Mountain Guides, which offers rock climbing, mountaineering, ski and cross-country ski trips, as well as cycling tours along the
French Alps and Norway. This year he will be teaching mathematics and serving as the
head coach for the burgeoning Cross-Country Ski team, which he hopes will become
the strongest program in New England. As a passionate athlete and teacher, Michael
has taught at Colorado Rocky Mountain School and the Aiglon College in Switzerland.
He also taught at Colorado Outward Bound School for 15 years, as well as being an
instructor for the American Mountain Guides Association for the past 13 years. When
asked what he has learned over the course of his long career as a guide and teacher,
Michael states:
“The outdoors, especially mountain climbing, is a great metaphor for life in general,
where you have challenges and goals to plan and prepare for, difficulties along the way,
sometimes failures and sometimes successes. And in the end you see the beauty in the
world and in those around you and realize what the most important part of life is!”
Jason Boyle and Joanna Smith, and their son, Quinten, will also be joining the
community this year. Both hold Ph.Ds in Chemistry and are avid mountain bikers.
Joanna earned her doctorate in 2010, and has been teaching Chemistry at The Grace
Christian Academy in Maryland this past year. Joanna’s research has been in the
synthesizing of “silica nanoparticles and modifying the surface with organic molecules
carrying acid functionalities for the potential use in fuel cells,” research she will certainly bring with her into her AP Chemistry course. She will be coaching cross country
and working with her husband, Jason, in Hoyt-Horner dormitory. Jason will also
be teaching Chemistry, as well as AP Physics, and coaching Mountain Biking. Jason
earned his doctorate in 2011, focusing on Ion-Neutral Chemistry. This past year he
has been conducting research with the American Association for Engineering Education to study the early time reaction dynamics of novel metal-based molecular fuels
for the US Navy. Both Jason and Joanna are looking forward to sharing their love and
passion for teaching, and to “strive to be great teachers and inspire an interest and
love for chemistry, and to set examples of true selflessness, compassion, integrity and
strength.”
Joseph Putko recently graduated from Middlebury College, where he studied
physics, math, and astrophysics. The fire in Joe’s belly can be summed up in one
word: astronomy. Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman plugged him into the cosmos and
allowed Joe to recognize the true essence of science, and he is on a mission to help
others discover the cosmic perspective and the “bold yet humble way of thinking that
the dubliner
is science. While at Middlebury, Joe served as a Physics and Astronomy teaching assistant, completed four research projects on topics including interstellar turbulence,
galaxy evolution, and supernova remnants, and founded an astronomy club, “Middnight Sky.” Joe will teach Physics and play a crucial role in developing our astronomy
program through the use of the Perkin Observatory. Connecting with the cosmos in
other ways, Joe’s second love is music, particularly blues harmonica. Joe will be in
Lehmann Dormitory, and he will coach JV Boys’ Soccer and Pond Hockey. Paul Siegel is a web-developer and systems consultant for Bozarts Inc. in New
York and Websight Design in California since 1996. He has helped develop online
music streaming for music legends, Carlos Santana and Mickey Hart, as well as developing an interactive web design for a major retail clothing store. While he has over 20
years of experience in Information Technology, music and songwriting comes first in
his life. For the past couple of years he has offered workshops on songwriting through
the Northeast Center for Poetry and the College of Poetry in Warwick, New York.
Paul’s principle work will be to help modernize the library and its daily operations,
as well as administrate Dublin’s new learning management system, “Schoology.” He
says that he is looking forward to helping the community’s use of technology, as well
Paul Siegel, Director of

work at Dublin, Alexandra’s work in the development office will be an advantage for
the entire school community, and beyond.
My own story as a teacher began with Pam Snitko. She taught me many things
during those too few years she had at Dublin, but it was showing my love for
what I was teaching that made me into a better teacher, and why I have decided
to return to Dublin after nine years. My wife, Gretchen, our two daughters, Tess
and Nell, and I decided to return to Dublin School to do what we love in a place
we love deeply. I left Dublin in 2004, and for 8 years I taught English and Philosophy, served as a dorm parent, coach, community service coordinator and diversity
liaison at Brooks School, in North Andover, MA. While at Brooks, I earned my
second Masters degree in African-American studies and literature, as well as began
to develop my hand as a poet and writer. Last year we decided to move to my wife’s
hometown of Atlanta, GA, where I taught American Studies and coached soccer at
The Lovett School. As a naturally restless person, I enjoy travel, woodworking, collecting books and finding the best cafes in America, but my true love is perfecting
the art of teaching. I have spent the past 13 years honing my skills as a teacher, and
I return to Dublin as a more confident and talented teacher, hoping to make Pam
proud of what I have become. ■

Keeping sports in balance
while increasing our intensity.
By Brad Bates
ne afternoon last fall I was sitting in my office,
a beautiful space that looks out over the quad, when I heard the school bell ring. I
looked out to see the girls’ soccer team ringing the bell after an afternoon triumph.
Then it rang again, this time the cross country team; and then once more when the
boys’ soccer team climbed up the hill from Alumni Field to announce their latest
triumph. “What is going on here?” I thought to myself. I had been telling people
for the last five years that Dublin was no jock school—there were plenty of those
spread out across New England. Schools that, unfortunately, place recruiting
athletes ahead of fulfilling their mission.
In a world placing increasing emphasis on specialization, Dublin is still a school
where a young man or woman can play six different sports during their four years
on campus, act in the play, and dance in our contemporary dance program after
spending long days fully absorbed in their academic classes. We have an Athletic
Director in Brooks Johnson who believes strongly that athletics should be part of the
overall educational mission of the school. To encourage young people to live lives of truth
18
the dubliner
and courage, we work as adults to build within our athletes
a mindset that reflects determination, grit, risk taking, and
perseverance. We focus less on results and more on process. We
want kids to overcome fear, experience failure and learn from it
on their journeys toward personal and team success. We do not
believe that 14-year-olds have discovered their passions in life.
High school is a perfect time to expand their horizons, leave the
familiar, and embrace the challenge of the new.
Our alumni tell stories of lively soccer scrimmages with Señor Moncada, undefeated tennis seasons under the leadership
of Coach Horgan, epic adventures on Mount Monadnock with
Coach Norm Wight, hosting the Prep School Championships in
cycling in the 1980’s, camping out the night before the opening of fishing season, the excitement of lacrosse under Coach
Ulrich, sailing championships in the 1960’s, the advent of girls’
sports at Dublin, and the importance of skiing during the first
decades of the school’s history. I have heard so many stories
matter
of the North and South Slopes that I cannot walk across those
overgrown slopes today without thinking of the broken legs,
the memorable victories, tales of Mr. G and the rope-tow, the
building of the Dubliner, and the legend that every student had
to go off the ski jump in order to graduate. In the early years,
the competitive athletic year started with soccer before students went to work cutting the ski trails by hand until the snow
fell, transitioned to skiing, and ended with baseball and track.
This past summer I traveled to South America to meet with
some of our alumni from the 1960’s and 1970’s. One alumnus
related that he developed a passion for sailing after learning
to sail on Dublin Lake and has since turned that passion into
a highly successful racing career. Sitting in his office sharing
Dublin stories late one night I looked up to discover his walls
were covered with Dublin sailing and skiing photos alongside
his varsity letters. When you talk to an alumnus of Dublin
School you quickly learn how formative their athletic seasons
were to them during a critical period in their lives. I witness
the deep and meaningful relationships forged through athletics
each year when some of our lacrosse alumni gather to challenge
the Dublin lacrosse team. And I am most struck by how many
alumni have maintained their love of sport long after their days
spent on Beech Hill, on Memorial Field, and in the Whitney
Gymnasium. Every year we receive great letters and emails from
all of you sharing your tales of fly-fishing gold medal rivers,
skiing in the Canadian Rockies, completing your first triathlon,
biking across your state or country, running in a marathon, or
simply passing on your love of sport to your children. My own
love of skiing comes from my father who developed his passion
19
for the sport on the very trails where my wife Lisa and I are now
teaching our own two children how to ski. The lessons learned
through sports at Dublin can help us throughout life by bringing
families together, helping us unplug, get off the couch, and connect with one another. A few years ago I was riding on a chairlift
at a ski area with my son next to an older man who seemed to be
looking at us wistfully. When we skied off the lift at the summit
he came over to me and whispered, “appreciate every lift ride,
every conversation and every period of silence with your son on
those rides; they are precious moments.” I have never thought
of a lift ride, a walk in the woods, or a boat trip with my kids the
same way since.
We seem to get the most responses to our Newsletter when
there is a story of one of our teams competing successfully
against one of the bigger schools in New England. A story of
our girls’ crew team beating Brewster brings back proud memories of the ski team racing against the Harvard Freshmen and
the kids from St. Paul’s School in Concord, of the boys’ soccer
team beating Groton School, and of the girls’ lacrosse team
shutting out Putney School. The common theme in these stories often centers around the coaches who taught their charges
to play, ski or row at a level that those young athletes did not
think was possible. Today we are hiring and training coaches
who understand the place of sport in the overall development
of Dublin students. They keep sports in perspective at the same

time that they inspire their students to wake up early to run
and row before class and hit the weight room after dinner. They
teach their athletes that a great player is the one who brings out
the strengths in their teammates. Every year our faculty seems
to become more focused on their health and their appreciation of the out-of-doors. In one of the many great benefits of a
boarding school education our students see us going for runs
and hikes, sharing our summer stories of mountains climbed
and rivers fished, and skiing the beautiful trails and slopes on
campus. We even have a new tradition where relay teams of
twelve teachers, administrators and students run 200 miles
from Cannon Mountain to Hampton Beach without stopping.
Over the last five years we have thought strategically about
the best sports to focus on for our students; sports that can
teach the values of courage, determination, teamwork, and
delayed gratification that we hold so dear, sports that in most
cases can be pursued throughout life and passed on through
families, sports that help develop an appreciation for and
concern about the out-of-doors, and sports that allow students
to learn new things about their own powers and capabilities.
Sports are often the thing that helps adolescents grow and develop a confidence in themselves that spills over into all aspects
20
the dubliner
of their lives. A great coach can be transformative for a young
person and can truly help them blossom in the classroom.
Because of the power of sport, we have invested in our
coaches and in our facilities. We are fortunate that the sports
we offer do not require multi-million dollar rinks or stadiums.
We are blessed with beautiful lakes, a high elevation for snow
sports, hundreds of acres of land for biking, running and skiing,
a terrific gymnasium, and stunning views on our playing fields.
Through the generous help of our alumni, parents and friends,
we have brought lift-served skiing back to Dublin School on the
Norm Wight Ski Slope in the middle of campus. This fall we will
open a brand new Dublin School Nordic Center with 7.5km of
internationally sanctioned ski trails which will be host to the
New England Prep School Championships in February 2014. We
are replacing our plastic gym floor with a real wood floor. We
have converted the old art studio into an outing club. Trustee
Coaches... teach their athletes that a great player is the
one who brings out the strengths in their teammates.
Ned Whitney left his stunning Dublin Lake boathouse to the
school in his estate and it is now the home of the sailing team.
Generous donors have allowed us to purchase two brand new
crew shells for the rowing team and a fleet of 420’s for our sailing program. Our rowing team takes advantage of the protected
waters of Thorndike Lake down the road. Mountain biking
has emerged as a popular competitive sport. And Mr. Johnson
helped to create the River Valley Athletic League (RVAL) of likeminded and similarly sized schools. Four RVAL championship
banners already hang in our gym!
What is next for Dublin athletics? We have much more to
do to keep the school bell ringing on autumn afternoons and
to help students develop a full appreciation for the joys and
lessons of sport. We must start by continuing to support our
coaches and find them the professional development they need
to bring out the very best in their young athletes. We must continue to provide great facilities for the sports we feel can help
us carry out our mission. Specifically, we are looking to improve
our tennis courts so that they are easier to maintain and play
on during the spring; we hope to bring irrigation to our playing
fields to better maintain them during dry spells; we would like
to purchase new grooming equipment to meet the needs of our
quickly expanding ski terrain, and add space for the increasing
demand for fitness training in the gym. Our facilities are beginning to put us on the map for young students looking for a
school with a distinct mission. Lastly, we are launching a health
initiative in our dining room to help teach students the value of
nutrition and its relationship to their strength, fitness, intellectual growth and life-long health.
We hope our alumni will return to campus to watch this
current generation in action, to ski and hike our trails, climb
Monadnock, sample our food and share your stories of the
transformative power of sport. ■

campus that are heated by wood pellets? Since the spring of 2012, wood pellets have been heating
Gillespie Hall, Lehmann House, and the Health Center, all from the same pellet boiler system. The
system was installed by Froling Energy of Peterborough, NH, who has been a pioneer in combining
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services with renewable energy expertise since
2002. President and founder, Mark Froling has been a valuable partner to the School as we move towards becoming a more environmentally and economically sustainable campus. As Mark’s company understands, wood pellet fuel is eco-friendly, but eco-friendly fuels must also make economic sense and from our
experience it is making a lot of sense.
For example, an analysis of our energy usage for the same 73-day period over the last two winters showed
the School spent $15,000 on oil for Lehmann House last year and only $13,300 on pellets for the same
period. The bonus of course is that this pellet cost now covers heating for Lehmann House, Gillespie Hall
and the Health Center! At current prices, we are now heating three buildings for less than we spent on heating one. It was for this reason that when the School started designing the new Monadnock Dormitory, it
was decided to once again include a wood pellet system which will also heat the Whitney Gymnasium. With
both systems on line, Mark estimates that the School will be off-setting approximately 15,000 gallons of oil
a year. Frugal use of our financial resources while respecting the environment could not be more in line with
the “Dublin Way.” ■

A Love Story
One woman, two men, one school.
By Jan Haman
lum Pete Hoyt’s ’41 story is a love story — a 75 year
dd
Judy & Jim Go
24
ard
love story. Love for a school and its founders, love for flight and life, love for his wife, Judy,
and their children. A love sustained through death and over many years shared by Judy and,
subsequently, her mate Jim.
It’s all documented in the 75 years of correspondence between Pete and Judy, Pete’s
parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Lehmann. Careful reading of those letters, notes and postcards
reveals the details of that love story. Long letters between Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sears
Hoyt and PWL in early June 1939 as they created the plan of study for this new student, and, of course, persevered during his several years at Dublin.
Then, in the very first months after Pete’s graduation in June 1941,
lengthy epistles floated back and forth from Pete to ‘Pop’ as he was
often addressed. As he transitioned from Dublin to Hamilton College,
Pete wrote almost weekly and Mr. Lehmann counseled him on the efficacy of responsibility and hard work. And when Pete joined the Army
and trained to become a bomber pilot in WWII, he kept Mr. and Mrs.
Lehmann appraised of each step, while always asking for school news,
and delighted when he received the Beech Hill Breeze or Scavenger.
“To say I miss Dublin would be foolish, it’s taken for granted that I
do. . . At last the Army has decided to give me my big chance. I’ve just
received the news that I’ve been classified as a pilot and am awaiting
orders to report to pre-flight in Alabama. Army life is surely swell!
I’ve never had such a grand time. . .” Pete went on to carry out 32
successful bombing missions in the Campaign of Western Europe
and was awarded the Air Medal, three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross and a Presidential Citation.
In May of 1944, when Pete and his crew buzzed the campus and
Dublin village in his B24, Mr. Lehmann wrote to him: “Dear Buzzer,
that was a real treat that you and your gang gave us . . . Let me
assure you that I placed all my money against all odds that it was
you! And no one else. It was a great thrill for all of us and I hope
you caught all the waving good wishes that we all sent to you.” Of
course, that “buzzing” became a treasured piece of Dublin lore.
The love story continued, as Pete wrote about meeting his
bride-to-be, Judy Upton. Engagement announcements, wedding
invitations, visits from the newlyweds and both sets of parents
followed, as did long thank you letters for years thereafter.
Eventually, Pete had his Cessna 172 and he and Judy would fly
up to Dublin to see “the folks.” Judy and his connection to the
Lehmanns never wavered. They sought counsel on schools for
their three children, Diana, Phil and Dick. He kept the Lehmanns up to date on his business ventures, their many travels,
the dubliner
the children’s weddings, their grandchildren, his trusteeship with the U.S.
Ski Team. Judy often wrote, too; her voice that of a loving daughter-inlaw. “It was just marvelous to see both of you and the school again, and so
wonderful to be able to talk to you about what plan we should take with
Phil. I was glad to find you both well and wonderful to have time with you
both - tell Mrs. Lehmann how much we enjoyed talking to her. She certainly
is remarkable!”
Later, they raised funds, Pete joined the Board of Trustees and became its
president. In 1989 he received the Paul W. Lehmann Distinguished Graduate
Award in which he was cited: “Pete, with the companionship and enthusiastic support of his wife, Judy, has clearly exemplified the commitment,
vision, and persistence that characterized the life of Paul Lehmann . . .”
In 2000, Pete died. But Judy’s love and care for the school endured:
visiting, writing, and supporting its development; she was named a lifetime
trustee. In 2011, Head of School, Brad Bates, presented
Judy with the status of honorary alumna, citing: “She
is tough, loving and funny, and I am sure Jim will tell
you, incredibly determined. Judy, Dublin School stands
where it is today because of your generosity, vision and
leadership.”
The Jim that Brad mentioned is Judy’s present
husband, Jim Goddard, who, upon visiting, also fell in
love with Dublin School. He wrote: “I saw the newest
dorm, the little red schoolhouse, the dining facility,
and the carpenter shop, a small quad, some children
and athletic fields. A place to send your children,
where they not only achieve in their studies, but become young adults with confidence and values that
can lift them over their contemporaries to be leaders
with courage and truth. . . I wanted to belong to this place. It was a most
gratifying pleasure to find that I did belong. I hope to be worthy to contribute to the Lehmann’s dream.”
One woman, two men, one school. A love story - the circle unbroken. ■

A Nerd’s Eye View
In 2010, Financial Planning labeled Michael Kitces ’96
the industry’s ‘Deep Thinker.’
Interview with Jan Haman
ast time we saw each other you
were at Bates College. Did Dublin prepare you for Bates?
Yes, I think my experience at Dublin did a lot to prepare me for Bates.
Certainly the academic content and critical thinking skills encouraged
at Dublin were a plus, and frankly in retrospect I made the adjustment
to living on a college campus far more easily than most because I
had already learned how to live in a dormitory environment and be
productive from my time at Dublin. At Bates I was a psychology major
and a theater minor. I think the psychology major was just an intellectual
draw for me - a subject matter I found fascinating to study. Theater, on the other hand, was
a direct extension of my time in theater at Dublin. In point of fact, that connection to the
theater remains with me in some of my volunteer work today!
After college, what did you do?
I entered the financial services industry directly out of Bates. And I mean directly. I graduated
from Bates on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in 2000, packed up everything I owned
on Sunday, drove home on Memorial Day Monday, and reported to work for a life insurance
firm first thing Tuesday morning.
It took me about a year to realize that the first firm I went to work for was not the right
fit, and transitioned from a large corporate environment to a small local firm. The firm
happened to be supportive of me advancing my education further. Over the next 18
months or so I completed all my coursework for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
designation, the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) certification, the Chartered Financial
Consultant (ChFC) certification, and did about half of a Master’s degree in Financial
Services, all part-time in the evenings and weekends while working full time. At that
point, I made a change to another firm - Pinnacle Advisory Group - where I remain today.
For me, I knew that I loved being a student; I would have stayed in college indefinitely if it
was an option. My career path remained one of a perpetual student and learner, as best I
could manage on top of a full-time job!
How did your blog get started, develop, and reach the status it has today?
I initially launched the blog, A Nerd’s Eye View, in 2008 when I started the newsletter, with
the idea that the newsletter would cover deep dive technical topics, and the blog would cover
26
the dubliner
“I don’t envy the challenge that today’s media
faces, asked to distill a complex topic into something that is not only understandable, but able
to be delivered in a concise newspaper or magazine
column with very limited space.”
27
industry and professional issues, or topics that just weren’t
deep enough for the full newsletter treatment. However, the
blog really didn’t get much of any traction at its start, and I
actually abandoned it fairly quickly to pursue other parts of
the business.
I circled back to the blog in 2010, as a direct consequence
of witnessing the explosion of social media, realizing that
platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter would be
the way to get the blog out to a wider audience to really
have impact. So I dove into both - the blogging and
the social media - simultaneously in the second half of
2010, and it’s just been a steady growth and building
process since then!
Kitces’ website,
www.kitces.com,
caught the attention of editors and
publishers in the
financial world.
You’ve published a lot; I’d love to know how all
that started.
I started a little, it worked, so I did a little more, that worked, so I kept
doing more. It really was a very organic process for me. I just started to write about things
that I thought were important, useful, or needed to be said in our profession, it got the attention of some
of our industry’s editors and publishers, and grew from there. I suppose looking back, part of the reason I
launched the newsletter and blog was simply so that I could have more flexibility and control over what I
wrote to ensure that the messages could get out.
How did the public speaking happen? How much of your time and income come from
speaking?
The public speaking was a similar path to the writing. At this point, my time (and income) are roughly
split into one-third speaking, writing (including the blog and the newsletter), and Pinnacle. By sheer
volume, though, one-third of my time speaking is a lot. It means I really am out to 50+ conferences a
year and spend about 75-100 business days
on the road.

most honored in 2010 to receive one of the
Financial Planning Association’s “Heart
—Financial Planning Magazine of Financial Planning” awards for my
contributions to the profession. They only
select about half a dozen people every year
from across the country, both within the profession and outside of it, and most are recognized for
literally a lifetime of achievement. I think I was about 20 years below the average age of the group!
How did you meet your wife? I hope there’s a story there!
My wife Eleanor (Ellie) and I graduated together from Bates College, but we were really never more than
acquaintances with a lot of overlapping friends in school. We were both from the DC area though, and
moved back to the DC suburbs after college. It was only after we started spending time together and we
started dating... and still took almost 10 years before we got around to getting married in August of 2010!
Our beautiful daughter Samantha was born in October of 2011.
I see you still have theater ties. Tell me about that.
In the first year or so after graduating from Bates, I had decided that I wasn’t going to go into theater
28
the dubliner
full time, but I still wanted to retain some
engagement to the theater. So I ended out
doing some volunteer work with a lot of the
small theaters in the DC area. Along the way,
I happened to get an invitation from my
roommate to go to a fun improv show with
Washington Improv Theater. I returned the
second time a few weeks later, I found I
enjoyed the show as much as the first one
(it’s improv, every show is unique and new
and fun!), and asked them if they wanted
any help. At that point, I became their
first regular volunteer (and groupie?).
That turned into an ongoing role as
their stage manager for all shows, then
towards helping out with lighting, which
ultimately turned into a creative role as a
“lighting improviser” for the shows. As
the organization grew, shows became
more plentiful, and I was volunteering
more and more (eventually dragging Ellie into it as well, and
that became a major activity we did together for years while we were dating). Eventually
I took on a role as a volunteer Managing Director, helping to arrange and negotiate performance venues
and spaces for us to rehearse and conduct classes. Eventually growth allowed Washington Improv Theater
(or “WIT” for short) to hire its own staff, and I transitioned into a role as a board member, which I’ve been
doing for about 5-6 years now (with a few stints as Treasurer).
We have students today interested in going into finance. What advice would you give kids
going off to college today?
First of all, I would prepare them to realize that as finance (and really, most industries) continues to get
more and more specialized, that getting an undergraduate degree is increasingly just a minimum to have
a shot at getting started, it’s not an end point. You will need more education, whether that’s a graduate
degree, or some advanced certifications.
Picture taken in 2012; Joseph
Barry ’96 with son Zach, Michael
Kitces ’96 with daughter Samantha and Allastair Meffen ’98 with
sons Will and Zach.
At the same time, I’d caution that the finance industry is very broad (even more so if we include
everything financial services related), and it’s often hard to tell exactly what you’ll enjoy doing or not.
So I VERY strongly encourage students to get internships, ideally every summer throughout college, in
different parts of the industry, to try to find what sort of work you enjoy. I’ve seen a lot of students who
go directly into business school for an MBA after college, then enter the industry, then ultimately find out
that what they enjoy most has nothing to do with an MBA, and either felt they had “wasted” that time
and cost, or had to go back to school again for another degree or certification that really fit their path.
View your career in finance like piloting a ship across the ocean. Yes, it’s important to plan
extensively up front for your journey, but the reality is that a lot of unexpected obstacles will arise, and the
winds and tides will keep pushing you in one direction or another, so you’ll be making a lot of mid-course
adjustments along the way (in terms of education, skills, etc.) to get to the end.
Hopefully, you have some memories of Dublin.
Indeed, so many wonderful memories! My time in the theater, hiking Mount Monadnock, life in Wing &
Hollow, learning to play squash (I ended up playing varsity squash at Bates my junior and senior years!),
and of course the camping trip at the start of each school year that led to my friendship with Allastair
Meffen ’98 that continues to this day! ■

Alumni
Dear Fellow Alumni,
I hope this issue of The Dubliner finds you enjoying these beautiful days of
autumn. I recently returned to campus, this time as the anxious parent of my oldest
son Evan, who joined 32 others to make up the class of 2017, the largest Dublin
freshman class ever! The campus looks amazing; especially the new Monadnock
Dormitory nestled in the hillside just below Memorial Field. Its cottage style
architecture fits so neatly into its setting, that it feels as if it’s been there forever.
I look forward to seeing many of you at upcoming Dublin School gatherings this
year. The Alumni Office will soon be announcing the many regional “Whistle Stop”
events for 2013-14. Attending one of these receptions held in different areas of the
U.S., is the perfect way to learn about the Dublin School of today and meet follow
Dubliners in your area. I hope you can join us.
Finally, thank you to everyone who contributed to the 2012-13 Annual Fund. I
can assure you that each and every dollar we contribute is used wisely so that Dublin
School is better able to carry out its mission of developing young adults who know
how to seek truth and act with courage. I hope you will join me again this year in
giving back to a school that has given so much to all of us.
Best wishes to you all,

A Message from the President of the
Parents’ Association
I am very excited to be working with the Parents Committee at Dublin School
during the 2013-14 school year! As a boarding school parent, I understand the
importance of ongoing communication about life at Dublin from small antidotes
about student activities to strategic plans for the school’s future. This year, our
goals will include adding more opportunities for parents to receive information
and provide feedback; looking for more ways to communicate parent-to-parent;
and providing parent assistance to Dublin administration to further the
mission of the school. Please feel free to contact me with your suggestions at
[email protected].
Looking forward to a great year,

T
his past January, Ian Probst ’09 had the privilege of travelling to New Zealand for a study
abroad program. Ian explains that, “The purpose of the program, travels from Queenstown
in the southern part of the south isle to Auckland in the northern part of the north isle, was to
create a sustainability index for the country as a whole. We had the privilege of travelling to many
beautiful locations from Franz Josef glacier to the restricted Kapiti Island. Through our travels, we were able to determine that the nation was very sustainable due to their low population
increase rate, high percentage of renewable energy, and sustainable agricultural practices. Now
back in the States, I see how we could learn many things from New Zealand and I would like to
thank many of the teachers at Dublin who first got me into the field of environmental studies.”

n July, Dublin School’s head crew coach, Rich Connell, (back row, second in on right) traveled to
England to participate in the Henley Royal Regatta as part of the Merrimac River Rowing Association Team. They raced in the Britannia Challenge Cup, and after the seeding, they won the first
race with a good margin and moved on to the quarterfinals. After a close battle there, they were
eliminated by Taurus Boat Club by a margin of 2/3 boat length. Connell reports, “It was an incredible experience, and the racing was amazing. Hopefully I’ll be able to compete there again someday.”

his past summer, Chris Riley ’10 went to South Africa on a study abroad trip for Goucher
College. Riley says, “From the moment I got off the plane I knew I was a stranger in a strange
land. Going in, I had some preconceived expectations and notions regarding how much the trip
would affect me, my classmates traveling with me, and most importantly how much it would
affect the children we were there to teach. Saying my expectations were blown sky high would be
the understatement of the century. I never imagined how much three short weeks would be able
to affect and change the way I live my life, and the way I view the world. Every day we taught, the
students would come into class ready with the biggest smiles on their faces even with the level
of poverty they are still living in. By the end of the trip we all formed bonds and friendships that
will transcend any distance anyone of us travels.”

Hard to Say Goodbye
Former Assistant to the Headmaster,
Jan Smith, passed away on December
30, 2012 at the age of 77 following a brief
illness. She was an active member of the
Monadnock Chorus; she loved singing in
the concerts and enjoyed the friendship
and community of fellow choral
members. She was an accomplished skier
and former ski instructor who raised
a family of competitive ski racers. She
loved the beautiful White Mountains
and spent many days enjoying skiing,
hiking and snowshoeing. She worked in administration at the Crotched Mountain
Rehabilitation Center and later as administrative assistant to Chris Horgan. She was
a devoted staff member, loved by faculty, staff, and students alike.
“Jan Smith, my beloved mentor and friend, passed away on December
30, 2012. Jan was a strong maternal force in my life. She was also my college
counselor, my mentor, and my friend for nearly two decades. She was a constant in
my life of few constants. Here’s to you, Jan! I love you.”– Joy Hopkins ’96

Peter Shonk, friend and supporter of the
School, died at the age of 94 at his home in
Dublin, NH on April 17. He was the father of
seven, including former Dublin teacher and
administrator, Lucy Shonk, and the uncle of
Bronson Shonk ’59. He also was the brotherin-law of Louise Shonk Kelly for whom our
Recital Hall is named. Mr. Shonk was a WWII
Navy pilot, who during his lifetime, not only
met Charles Lindbergh, but also performed in a
play with Amelia Earhart one summer at Loon
Point on Dublin Lake. Always generous with
his time, Mr. Shonk spoke here at the School
several times about his Naval experiences as
part of our Memorial Day services. Most
recently he hosted a Mindfest group at his
home where he shared WWII memories
and memorabilia.
Former Director of Learning Skills

English as a Second Language teacher, Carol Heath, died on July 1 at her

also coached girls’ soccer and assisted the ski program. Prior to arriving
at Dublin, Carol taught English and ESL at Kent’s Hill School for eighteen
years. There she coached field hockey and softball. Friends and faculty from
both schools celebrated Carol’s life with words and music. Dublin’s music
director Mario Flores said: “We will miss you and you will remain in our
hearts for as long as there is life on this planet. I will miss our camping chats,
our jokes, our friendship, thank you, Carol, for making me a better teacher, a
better man, a better human being.”
A gathering to celebrate the life of Michael
“Mickey” James ’42 was held on August 4,
2013, in the Fountain Arts Building. Mickey
died at age 89 on April 4, 2013, at Monadnock
Community Hospital. He was born in 1923, at
the home of his grandfather, the philosopher
William James in Cambridge, MA. “Mickey”
was among the first students to attend Dublin
School, along with his older brothers Sandy
(1918-1995), and Danny (1922-1955). He also
attended Pomfret School in Connecticut but
often described himself as a poor student, once complaining of a stomach
ache to avoid school, resulting in the unnecessary removal of his appendix.
What Mickey may have lacked in early academic skills he more than made
up for with his artistic talent, quick wit, good humor and generous spirit.
After serving in the Navy in the Pacific during WWII, he attended art school
in Colorado and settled in Boston, MA. His lifetime of artwork includes
illustrating, writing, sculpting and painting. He was deeply loved by his
many nieces, nephews, godchildren, and devoted Dublin friends.

Joaquin Eduardo Bacardi Jr. ’57 died suddenly in his sleep on July 13,
2013 at the age of 76. He was a retired master blender for Bacardi which
was founded by his great-grandfather. A resident of Puerto Rico, Mr.
Bacardi was born in Santiago, Cuba and was naturalized in Puerto Rico
in 1959 after his family was exiled from Cuba. As an adolescent he came
to the United States and was educated at the Fessenden School, Dublin
School, Babson College and the University of Puerto Rico. Because of his
long and successful career, Mr. Bacardi was also awarded an honorary
degree from the New England School of Law. He spent his entire career
at Bacardi. He had a passion for his family legacy of rum making and
flourished as a master blender until his retirement in 1984. He also served
on the Bacardi Limited Board of Directors. An avid and accomplished deep
sea fisherman and boat enthusiast, he was a generous supporter of many
organizations in his community especially Dublin School. He was a great
admirer of Norm “Pro” Wight and supporter of the Norm “Pro” Wight Ski
Slope here on campus.
Joaquin’s classmate, Fred Pease wrote a letter of memories about Joaquin. Here
is one anecdote: “Joe loved to go marlin fishing and had a competitive friend in
the rum business and they competed against each other for the largest marlin.
I believe Joe holds the record for a 660 pounder on a two pound test line. Joe
wrote a book about his fishing experiences and sent me a copy. It is called the
Captains. I always wanted to go fishing with Joe, but I never did.”
Christine Alvarado Camacho ’90, 41, passed away April 1, 2013. She
was a longtime registrar at Pleasant Hill Elementary. Survivors include her
husband David and three children, Carissa, David and Christian.
Jason Smith ’92 classmate of Christine shares his memory. “Christine was an
incredibly open person and full of an incredible zest for life. When I started
at Dublin all of those years ago Christine was one of the first people to open
up to me at Dublin. I remember thinking that if this Latina girl from New
York could be friends with me, a small town NH boy, without noticing our
differences then she was a special person. In my years since, when describing
what the people at Dublin are like and how it is a place respectful of diversity,
it is Christine’s friendship that I would start with. She and I bonded first over
music and while music and dance were passions of Christine’s she was also a
caring and thoughtful friend. I will always remember her flicking her hair to
the side, that amazing smile and a glint in her eye saying “you don’t think I am
just going to let you sit there and not get out there and dance.” She was not an
observer in life, not hesitant, not shy; she was a force to be reckoned with, she
was action. While our paths never crossed after Dublin, I will still hear a song
from time to time that will make me think of her and she will always be in my
memories and thoughts.”

University of Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts and was the President of
Steffian Bradley Associates, Inc. Peter combined his architectural career
with substantial contributions to the advancement of the profession
within the public sector. He was a past Regional Director of the National
Council of Architectural Registration Boards, was the director, secretary
and treasurer of the Boston Society of Architects. He was the founder
and past secretary of the Boston Foundation for Architecture, and

Life Lessons
Why I Joined the
Lehmann Legacy Circle
By Pete S c henc k , C lass of 1950
“When I first attended Dublin, there were only 57
students in grades 7 through 12, so we got a lot of
individualized attention, and I certainly needed it! Not only did Dublin transform me from a horribly
poor student to an excellent one, but PWL’s after
dinner discussions about such topics as: Making
hay while the sun shines; If a job is worth doing
it’s worth doing right; Be punctual at all times; Try
everything once; Complete whatever you start; Buy
only what you have the money to pay for; and the
lesson from Norm Wight about doing whatever
you have failed at again until you succeed; Charlie
Latham’s admonishment that you can do better, so
do it and learning so much about handyman things
from Mr. G, have stood me well for my entire life. Work gangs and daily work assignments are, in my
judgment, just as important a part of learning as
academic classroom work is. I am thankful for all
of them.
“I believe the philosophy of Dublin has been consistent over the years and has benefitted its students
well. It is for that reason that I have become a member of the Lehmann Legacy Circle so that students
now and in the future can enjoy the many lessons of
life that I learned at Dublin.” ■
The Lehmann Legacy Circle was founded in 1989 to honor
friends of Dublin School who have included Dublin School in
their will or estate plans. You do not have to be wealthy or
elderly to consider becoming a member, you simply have to
want to make a planned gift to the School. For additional
information please contact Erika Rogers, Director of Development at (603) 563-1230 or [email protected].

A Culture of Engagement
Erika Rogers, Director of Development
C
“
reating a Culture of Philanthropy” has historically
been the mantra for development professionals, as they
work to create an environment in which fundraising ef-
forts are supported and donors regularly give to their capacity. However, it has been our experience that a school should instead focus
on creating a “Culture of Engagement.”
Every year we strive to find new
ways of helping our alumni, parents
and friends become more engaged with
Dublin School. With engagement comes
understanding and with understanding
comes excitement! Our supporters are
actively engaged with the School, participating, contributing and generally making Dublin School a part of their lives.
They believe in our mission, they support the School needs that overlap with
their expertise and interests, and they
are making personal connections with a
variety of people on campus. This kind
of engagement is not only funding our
annual operating needs and major capital
projects, but also significantly enhancing
specific athletic and academic programs,
making everyone a partner in creating an
exceptional school.
The names on these pages represent
the 481 trustees, alumni, parents, faculty
and friends who together have shared
$931,987.36 with Dublin School this
year. Most of these gifts ($360,765) were
given as Annual Fund gifts and therefore
supported daily operations including
salaries, campus upkeep and financial
aid. Capital gifts have allowed us to
build a new 7.5 kilometer Nordic ski and
mountain biking course, install a new
wood floor for the Whitney Gymnasium,
buy 20 acres of land to the east of Memorial Field, and provide support towards
the construction of our new Monadnock
Dormitory. Gifts continue to be made
to the Norm Wight Endowment Fund,
Lehmann Endowment Fund, Ford-Steffian Fund and Latham Faculty Fund supporting our ever-growing endowment.
This year we also had many special
gifts come in because people were engaged and excited by specific programs
happening at the School. These are “temporarily restricted” gifts to help pay for
specific projects that may extend beyond
the current fiscal year. Most of these gifts
are inspired by the work our teachers
and coaches are doing with our students
every day. This year these included funds
for science equipment, the crew program,
the robotics program, the new boat
house, and the library.
Every year, we are both grateful and
humbled by the generosity displayed
by our community. Having worked at
Dublin now for 15 years, I can assure you
that our School is healthier, happier and
better able to fulfill its mission than ever
before because of our loyal supporters.
Dublin is now the first choice school for
incoming freshmen, and our graduating
seniors are going off to their first choice
college or university. Our campus is
stunning, our courses are innovative, our
athletics competitive and our students
are happy. We are a magnificent school
thanks to you. ■

Last Word
“I remember the beauties around us:
the early mornings when the valley was
filled with clouds and the hills thrust up
through them like the half-seen mountains on a Chinese scroll; the flaming
reds and yellows of autumn, brilliant
against the dark green hemlocks and the
blue October skies; the clear, cold nights
of late fall or early winter when the
heavens blazed with stars or flared suddenly into the mysterious and awesome
Northern lights.”
– William Gwyer North
