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,
I am involved in the care of heads of state, famous athletes and
everyday people—Country Day helped prepare me for my lob.

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 attended Country Day,
they don't ask me about the school's well-known
alumni...thev ask, - Did you have Mrs. Hannett as
a teacher?" and I'm proud to tell them that yes,
I did have that distinct privilege.
1 think that speaks volumes about the influence
Country Day has on its students.
