This week, Headmaster Fr. Michael Tidd, OSB hosted two receptions in California where he connected with many alumni on the West Coast. Accompanying him on the trip were Assistant Headmaster for Advancement & Alumni Craig Paris '82 and Director of Senior Guidance Mike Rosenhaus '80.
To begin their West Coast trip, Fr. Michael, Paris, and Rosenhaus visited Jim Corroon '57 and his wife Mary before attending our annual San Francisco Alumni Reception. Here, Jim holds his gift, an original roof slate, circa 1883, that was removed from Old Main in June during the ongoing roof replacement and restoration project. Fr. Michael reports tthat, "Jim was a boarder in Old Main in the pioneer days of Delbarton!"
Their first event was on October 9 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco hosted by Peter Carolan ‘04 where guests enjoyed a cocktail reception and reconnected with fellow alumni in the SF area.
Next, on October 10, Delbarton hosted the LA Reception at the W Hotel in West Beverly Hills alumni in the Los Angeles area.
At each reception, Fr. Michael updated West Coast alumni on Delbarton current news and future plans. The Delbarton Alumni Association hosts annual California receptions and we are already looking forward to seeing our friends on the West Coast again next year. Thank you to all who took the time to join us in California this week -- enjoy more photos from our two West Coast receptions...
