The ONE class member who still lives on campus! So many surprises to this conversation as Nick was enigmatic to many of us (me). Did he know people viewed him as the smartest kid at Exeter? Yes. But that doesn't mean he liked it ... or did he?

What a life! From Vermont to Exeter to Connecticut to Vermont to New York to L.A. to Morocco, Samuel Dowe-Sandes is living an amazing and dynamic life. I did not know him well, but I new him enough to sense his positive energy and self confidence -- still the case. Such a great conversation.

Andre came from Sao Paulo to PEA for two years. And he was my roommate! An exceedingly thoughtful intellectual, Andre reflects on PEA and life in Brazil (with his 4 sons!).

Brilliant, brave and totally transparent (I couldn't find a third good "B" word to keep the alliteration going.) Could have talked to her for days.

What can you say about John Palfrey? He runs a multi-billion dollar foundation, was a Harvard dean, as well as school head for the enemy (Andover) and just so happens to be a wonderful guy. It should be annoying -- but it's not! Another amazing conversation, and message to the Exeter board: Give him a call ;-)
