When I trekked to California from my post at Hoosac School on the east coast, I made it a point to include a visit to Lance. Yes, connecting with alumni was my work, but getting to know Lance these past ten years was no work at all - he was a delight. His well-read intelligence, witty sense of humor and truly kind nature made it easy to make a call and just talk. Will miss him. - Sherri
