Alums Reconnect at Triple Reunion

There is nothing quite like getting to reconnect with familiar faces excited to be back at the place many called home throughout their teenage years. This feeling was in abundance as Millbrook hosted the first in-person Alumni Weekend in three years. All reunion classes got the chance to mingle, connect, explore campus, and honor fellow classmates back on their old stomping grounds.
 
The weekend began with gatherings for classes celebrating their 50th reunion; the classes of ’70, ’71, and ’72. Classmates came together to laugh and to reminisce. They met for dinner on Thursday night and enjoyed panel discussions before recording their own oral histories on Friday. These 50th reunion alums also took extra tours of campus and the Trevor Zoo and were able to take master classes at Holbrook and the farm.
 
On Saturday campus filled with members from all other classes. They gathered on Pulling Circle to make the walk across Flagler Quad and into the chapel for the traditional Alumni Assembly. After giving an update on the state of the school, Headmaster Jonathan Downs ’98, with the help of Senior Master Bob Anthony ’65, presented special recognitions to two alums. Norman B. Bird ’69 was presented with the Edward Pulling Community Service Award, and Frank Borges ’70 received a Millbrook Medal. Mr. Downs and all alumni who had gathered also took the opportunity to thank and honor Drew and Linda Casertano for their dedication to the school and its community.
 
Following the assembly, all alums spent time reconnecting over food and cocktails in Casertano Hall and dancing on the Class of 2022 Terrace.

    Terrific ceremony in the chapel, especially that last prayer remembered as the favorite of Mr. Pulling: "O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen"
