I love reading your thoughtful and inspiring stories Claire! And yes, ugh, that terrible series based on the video game - I am with you on that.

I don't know if this is the place to say it, again, but I am just so in awe of the positive impact that you have on the world. With your inspiring and thoughtful insights as you live with cancer, all the people you have helped through your work, all the people you have mentored to help more people through their work, and just generally being so generous with your time and energy. You are amazing.

What a wonderful summary of Claire's grand weekend at Brentwood! While "choose to be" and "grit & joy" were conjured well after Claire's graduation, the do seem to perfectly fit this truly amazing human. Your School will always be with you and your family. From a very grateful - Head of School

Thanks, Bud. We are sad to see you moving on into a wellpdeserved retirement and are SURE it has nothing to do with the timing of Grady's arrival...

I'm sure there will be much celebration about seeing the back side of the current Head of School. Regarding the connection between timing of my departure and Grady's arrival...no comment. ;-)
