ne of my greatest accomplishments was being awarded the Laureate Award
by my peers for excellence in patient care in the top gastroenterology
department in the country. Today. Iam involved in the care of heads of
state. famous athletes and everyday people—Country Dav helped prepare me
for my job.
As a kid I never read a book that wasn't related to a sport. but my English
teacher, Beverly Hannett-Price changed that. Reading became infectious and
opened doors for me that would otherwise never have been opened. I
ended up taking Shakespeare in college because Of Mrs. Hannett's
influence and later passed my love of reading onto my daughter.
I cultivated some lifelong friendships during my time at
Country Day and I still remain close to the friends I made
there. To this day, out of the 55 students in my graduating
class. I keep in touch with about 20. In fact, for the
past decade, a group of us Country Day alumni take
an annual trip together!
Today when I come in contact with patients from
Michigan and I tell them I utended Country Day,
they don't ask me •bow the school's well-known
.:Ilumni..Ahey ask, "Did you have Mrs. Hannett as
a teacher? - and I'm proud to tell them that yes,
I did have that distinct privilege.
I think that speaks volumes about the
influence Country Day has on its students.
