Alumni 3rd Annual Alumni Awards Dinner The third annual Alumni Awards Dinner was held on Saturday evening November 10th, and by all accounts, was a smashing success. A great crowd of alumni of all ages was on hand, mixing with friends and family members of the various honorees. The event was hosted at the Merion Golf Club and featured the presentation of awards to George Bell ’75 as the Distinguished Alumnus, Lori Kelly P ’04, ’06, ’10 for Distinguished Service, Rob Williams ’72 for Community Service, Doug MacBean ’95 for Alumni Spirit, and Leonard Wood ’96 for Young Alumni. George wowed the audience with an impromptu 15 minute acceptance speech that was simultaneously funny, touching, and inspiring. Additionally, a very impressive slate of alumni was inducted into the Episcopal Athletic Hall of Fame: Maurice Heckscher ’60, Kim Jennings ’91, Bill McKeever ’35 (deceased), Bill Miller ’87, and Shawn Pender ’79. Charlie Ogelsby ’63 and Gina Buggy, Hon. did their usual great job as Co-Masters of Ceremony, while Win Lippincott ’99 put together a wonderful slide show chronicling the lives of our honorees. Karl Mayro ’84 served as this year’s event chair. Congratulations go to all of this year’s award winners, and thanks go to Karl and everyone else who worked so hard to make the evening a triumph. The selection process for next year’s Alumni Awards and Athletic Hall of Fame process has already begun. You are encouraged to nominate qualified people at any time during the year for either the Hall of Fame or the individual Alumni Awards. If you are interested in the criteria for any of the above, or have any other questions about the process, please contact Clayton Platt ’73 in the alumni office at platt@episcopalacademy.org.

Alumni Gather on Campus for Thanksgiving Weekend Activities Every year, on Thanksgiving morning, alumni brave the bitter cold and work up an appetite on the soccer field. The number of players is consistently strong, but this year brought record-setting participation with ample subs for both teams. More than 50 alumni took part in the last Thanksgiving soccer game to be held at Merion. Three years ago, the Alumni Department also started to organize an Alumnae Field Hockey game on Friday morning of Thanksgiving weekend. The buzz continues to spread and each year EA welcomes back a new batch of field hockey fans and players. We hope more alumnae will join us next year when the competition moves to the turf in Newtown Square!
