Each fall, the Trinity-Pawling community eagerly awaits the return of alumni and friends to campus for Reunion & Homecoming Weekend. In this issue of The Quad we want to recognize some of the alumni and friends who made the trip back to Pawling, NY to help make the weekend even more special.

Thank you for coming back to campus and helping us celebrate the weekend!
We would also like to give a special shoutout to the Reunion Chairs for the 55th, 60th, and 65th Reunions who went above and beyond for Trinity-Pawling and their classes this year:
Class of 1951: Pete Foster
Class of 1956: David Coughlin

Former Faculty
One of the highlights of Reunion & Homecoming Weekend for alumni is getting the chance to reconnect with current and former faculty. We are so grateful for all of the faculty who attended the weekend, but in this issue of The Quad we want to give a special #tpshoutout to Peyton Pinkerton ‘49 and Carol Kneeland.
Peyton Pinkerton ‘49
Peyton not only attended Trinity-Pawling School, but he also worked for the School for 14 years. He joined Trinity-Pawling in 1982 as the Director of the Capital Campaign – the first ever campaign at Trinity-Pawling. During that role Peyton helped raise over $6million for campus improvements. From 1986 to 1996 Peyton served as the Director of Development & Alumni Affairs, increasing alumni involvement with the School and implementing successful fundraising strategies. Thank you, Peyton, for the many ways you have served Trinity-Pawling. It was an honor to have you at Reunion & Homecoming Weekend 2016!
Carol Kneeland
Carol, and her husband Ted, developed the curriculum for the Language Retraining Program, laying the foundation for the LEAD Program at Trinity-Pawling today. Their understanding of learning differences and their personalized approach to helping students succeed in the classroom had a profound impact on many students’ who attended Trinity-Pawling from 1972-2001. Thank you, Carol and Ted Kneeland, for transforming the lives of so many in the Trinity-Pawling community and for helping our students rise to new levels. It was a pleasure to have you, your son Doug, and grandson Teddy join us for the weekend!
