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 MC 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 (laughter.
•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 attended Country Day,
they don't ask me about the school's well-known
alumni...they ask, "Did you have Mrs. Ilannett 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.
