Liz,
I happened to hear about your loss and felt compelled to write a brief note to express my sympathy. it has been many years since we have talked, but I continue to think about your boys and the Bement community frequently. After stepping away from heading Bement, Nancy and I began a consulting operation that Nancy has continued to run in a scaled down capacity. I decided to take a run at an interim headmaster position at The Fessenden School in Newton, MA, and that soon became a six year commitment. I officially retired in June,2011, and Nancy and I are sharing time between Spring Island, SC and Hancock, NH. All is good at this end, with all three kids thriving, Sarah and Becky married and parenting four healthy grandchildren. I hope that Jamie, Brooks, Zeb and Matthew are doing well. Please pass along to them our best wishes and let them know that I would love to hear what they are up to. Nancy's and my email is [email protected].
Nancy joins me in sending a warm hello and in assuring you know that you and your family are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
Best,
Peter Drake
