After attending Darrow for the 1948–49
school year, Bertram Bandman went on
to Hebron Academy, ME, graduating in
1950. After marrying Elsie in 1951, he spent
almost a decade studying at Columbia
University, where he graduated from the
School of General Studies, receiving his
M.A. in 1955 and his Ph.D. in 1962. After
decades of teaching philosophy at Long
Island University, he retired in 2000
and moved with Elsie to the Applewood
Retirement Community in Amherst, MA.
In the fall, Darrow Trustee Emeritus Jim
Baker (below) received a commemorative
Shaker peg board in honor of his service
to the School. He received the gift from
Mao Flude ’05 (not pictured) at a reception
in England, where Jim lives. On receiving
the award, Jim wrote, “Mao is delightful
and charming; I am sure she was/is a
happy addition to Darrow. Thank you, Mao,
and Darrow, for the peg board. It is much
appreciated and will find an appropriate
place on one of our walls, probably in
Devon!”
