The then-abandoned building – graffiti-covered and slated for demolition – was the locale in 2014 for Tennessee Brewery Untapped, an initiative by a group that included two other Owls, communications professional Doug Carpenter ’82 and entrepreneur Michael Tauer ’95, who saw the potential in the building and hoped to spark interest in its revival. They did. Orgel bought the Brewery and turned it into modern urban residences. The expansive river views, spacious floor plans, and a wide- open, renovated courtyard are now delighting a new generation of Downtown dwellers. 1 MUS TODAY THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE OF MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL l SUMMER 2019 FEATURED THIS ISSUE 12 5 23 5 Billy Orgel enhances community with historic redevelopments 11 Considering 125 Years: Robert Gordon reflects on changes at MUS 12 Rounding the Bases: Coach John Jarnagin’s journey 17 Lower School offers steady ground during adolescence 23 96 in the 125th: Class of 2019 celebrates commencement (Pictured – Lukas Jakstas, Warren Turner, and Ev Nichol) 2 l MUS TODAY SUMMER 2019 musowls.org/media IN EVERY ISSUE ON THE COVER HEADMASTER Peter D.
