I want to congratulate Erika Rogers and her team in the Alumni Office for the vision and Weffort that went into creating this fresh look to the magazine. In this issue, you will find that we are highlighting the power of sports in adolescent development. Many of you experienced the transformative power of sport during your time at Dublin School and we wanted to share with you the wonderful things taking place on our teams at Dublin today. 2 THE DUBLINER The photo on the cover captures so much of what is right about sports at Dublin. It Dublin School features mountain biking, one of our newest and most popular sports, and one that Board of Trustees takes full advantage of our beautiful 400 acre campus. When I think of the excite- 2013-2014 ment that accompanied the growing sport of skiing in the United States in the 1940’s President Peter Imhoff P ’13 and 1950’s I see parallels to the growth of mountain biking as a sport today. It fulfills Dublin, NH Paul Lehmann’s goal of getting kids outside, exercising vigorously, and working as a Co-Vice Presidents team to learn new skills. The expression on junior Myles Spencer’s face, with “Truth Michael J. Mullins ’93 Boston, MA and Courage” on his shoulders, captures the grit and determination that we work to L. Phillips Runyon III P ’88, ’92 develop in our young men and women. I would describe Myles as the classic Dublin Peterborough, NH Treasurer student; a strong student, a kind and thoughtful person, and confident as both an George B. Foote, Jr. individual and as a member of a team. Myles is a strong oarsman, a leader on our Dublin, NH robotics team and is currently conducting an independent study into autonomous Secretary Sharron Smith P ’92 robotic navigation with Dr. Kennedy. And, I almost forgot, he built the bike he is rac- Hinsdale, NH ing in the photo! Trustees We hope you enjoy the stories you will find between these covers and we also hope William A. Barker P ’85 that you continue to tell us about your journeys after leaving Dublin School. And bet- Dublin, NH Bradford D. Bates, P ’17 (ex-officio) ter yet, come back and visit.
