PRINCETON D Flourishing on the Great A Report on the State of the School “It is my turn to say thank you for a bond that has lasted 48 years.” Carl D. Reimers Faculty member 1961 to 1999, P’80, Trustee 1999 to Present “My relationship with the school began in 1961 when I joined the faculty of Miss Fines School. Since then, I have thoroughly enjoyed a long relationship with the school as a teacher, parent, and most recently, as a trustee. In my view, our faculty is second to none, and I included PDS in my estate plans because I knew the funds I gave would be used to support outstanding teaching. That I also saved on taxes and increased my income during my lifetime by funding a charitable trust for the school with low-yielding securities was a great bonus.” For information about including Princeton Day School in your estate plans, contact Andrew C.
