Re: Tom Huebner - -- Alma Ippolito Walshak, 20:27:16 01/28/09 Wed
Mr Huebner, I don't know if you remember me but I, Alma Ippolito Walshak, was in both your English and Comparative Religion classes in junior high. I remember the great discussions we had in class and also your emphasizing "always ask WHY, WHY WHY!". Unfortunately I left Scarborough after my freshman year but I do have very fond memories of my years there. I hope you and your family are doing well. How did you end up in Vermont???

>Hi Tom,
Nice to read your letter to the Scarborough Alumni. I remember you well and always appreciated you. Those were so grand old days weren't they? I have a website, Maininsurance.net if you'd like to take a peak at what
is happening on the West Coast.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
Sincerely, Jeff Main

Re: Scarborough School -- J.P. Smith '66 (and teacher and board member, 1973-1977), 16:24:45 09/17/08 Wed
Another famous author associated with the school (and who, like John Cheever, lived for a time on the Vanderlip's property) was Richard Yates, famous for his novels The Easter Parade and the aptly-named Revolutionary Road, soon to be a feature film.
When I was in 8th and possibly 9th grades, John Cheever's son Ben was in my class.
