A LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER In addition to other articles about the Athletic Hall of Fame and alumni who have returned to coach their former teams, we have several athletic achievements and milestones to share with you in this issue.

I encourage you to learn more about John, through the eyes of his parents, and about how this field is playing a role in the continuing expansion of Pingry’s athletic program. On the same day that we dedicated the turf field, Miller Bugliari ’52, who has been head coach of the varsity soccer team for 49 years, earned his 700th career victory.
