Hey Phoebe, this was an awesome read. I grew up as a facbrat myself at Dana Hall while my mom worked as a 9th grade dorm head. It was surely a funny experience as a young boy but it made me fall in love with boarding school and eventually lead me to your home, Groton, which has come to feel like my home now too. Wishing your dad and the rest of the family all the best in the next chapter!

Best,

Caleb
