It’s summertime on Martha’s Vineyard and one never knows, for certain, who may be on-island. But, on Sunday, August 4, a wide-ranging group (26 all counted) of Trinity-Pawling’s alumni, parents, and friends gathered for Ned Reade’s art show at The Old Sculpin Gallery in Edgartown. Located in the harbor where the Chappy ferry comes and goes, Old Sculpin had been a boat builders home and construction site. It’s the perfect setting for Ned’s luminous watercolors.
“It was fun to introduce one of my current advisees, Thomas Solecki ’20, to one of my very first advisees, Kip Chapman ’77,” recalls Ned. Among the attendees, Ned said, “I was happy to see Tim Burns ’89 and it’s always nice to catch up with Curtis Flynn ’84 (he’s a distant cousin!).” Maria Reade joined Ned in greeting guests. Early arrivals included Gay and Arch Smith, who brought their children and two of their grandchildren. “I also had the pleasure of meeting Angela and Ed Spalding ’67.” Ned continues, “Susan and Trustee Peter McCabe ’68 made the trip and Peter caught up with David Lott ’68, a classmate he hadn’t seen in years.”
Thank you to all who attended! With fall on the not-too-distant horizon, we’re already thinking about next summer and hoping to meet up at Old Sculpin Gallery again next year. Please let Janet Hubbard, in the Office of Advancement, know if you’d like to receive information about a possible gathering on Martha’s Vineyard next year.
