Dear Alumni:

Our Spring 2008 issue of Trinity-Pawling Magazine this year will take the form of a final report on the success of our Centennial Campaign and its impacts on the boys, faculty, and families of Trinity-Pawling School. Look for it in your mail in June.

We didn't want to omit our seasonal edition of Class Notes, however, so we prepared this edition for online publication.

Keep in touch with your T-P friends year-round. Go to www.trinitypawling.org and click on 'Alumni.'
