New Head for St. Paul's

Tuesday January 24, 2006
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
- William Cowper (1731-1800)

Poor St. Paul's in Concord, New Hampshire, went through a rough patch last year. Financial and other scandals caused consternation and shame at that grand old Episcopal school. So it is with great joy that I can report that a new headmaster has been appointed. Much luck, Bill Matthews.

Why I am so interested in St. Paul's? Because my old friend Barclay Lex Millar (1943-1984) graduated from St. Paul's. Barclay was a prince of a man. Nancy and I adored him.

When Disaster Strikes Learn from St. Paul's experience. Never stonewall. Confront bad news head on. Be prepared for the unexpected.
