Current parents, whose children have been keeping them  up-to-date on school happenings, and alumni and past parents eager to  catch up on the many exciting things afoot found much in common to talk  about.<\/p>\n<p>As head of school attending my first such event, I was  thrilled by the energy in the room, both for the place fondly remembered  and the school as it stands now. More than that, I was struck by the  powerful and positive memories that were shared of teachers and their  transformative influence, and of friendships that have stood the test of  time. I was more than happy to answer questions posed about future  plans and current initiatives, and I am confident that those in  attendance are a barometer of the good feelings and ongoing support for  Williston that exist at large. Thanks again to the Babcocks for being  such gracious hosts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/info.williston.com\/Portals\/16020\/images\/head_14.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"head 14\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Trustee Warner Babcock &lsquo;70 and his wife Trisha hosted a Williston Northampton gathering at the Greenwich Country Club on October 20, area parents and alumni representing Northampton School for Girls, Williston Academy, and The Williston Northampton School converged for a delightful reception.
