A Brooklyn native, Jake Barton arrived at Andover with a New York attitude and sardonic sense of humor.

As most of us know, Jake was instrumental in the design of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in Lower Manhattan, thinking daily of our own Todd Isaac. We are part of his psyche to this day, Jake said, “It’s so beyond belief”.
