Alumni Weekend 2018
Alumni came to campus the weekend of June 9th to relive Millbrook traditions and create new memories.
The classes of 1968 and 1993, celebrating their 25th and 50th reunions respectively, enjoyed golf, dinner, music and dancing, and terrific company during their three days on campus. The class of 1968 also participated in a variety of special 50th reunion class activities including a tour of the solar field with Dr. Tousignant, an architectural tour of campus with alumnus Phil Ross '68, and a tour of Wethersfield.
On the morning of June 10th, all other alumni joined us on campus for festivities, which included master classes with History Chair Mark Clizbe and Arts Chair Sarah MacWright, tours of the Trevor Zoo, and the annual RIck McWilliams soccer game.
The community also gathered in the afternoon to honor Director of Constituent Relations Cindy McWilliams, who is retiring after serving Millbrook for 41 years. Alumni, friends, and family spoke about Cindy's tremendous impact on the school during her extensive tenure. Those who shared sentiments included former Millbrook faculty member Kevin Soja, Assistant to the Headmaster for External Affairs Bob Anthony '65, alumna Zoe Chapin '03, former faculty and board member Anne Putnum '95, and both of Cindy's children, Carly '05 and Trevor '01.
Following these festivities, the traditional alumni parade led the entire community into the Flagler Memorial Chapel, where Bob Anthony '65 presented awards to very deserving recipients:
