Once they discover that she is Dr. Kate, the supplicants line up to approach at dinner parties and ballet recitals. Surely, they suggest to Dr. Katherine J. Atkinson, a family physician here, she might find a way to move them up her lengthy waiting list for new patients.

Ben Allison '82 & Man Size Safe to be featured at Come early and enjoy a jam session with Ben at 5:30 on the Elm Street Stage. The International Festival of Arts & Ideas was established in 1996 by Anne Calabres , Foote Class of 1948; Roslyn Meyer, parent of three Foote alums; and Jean Handley. They envisioned an annual celebration in New Haven that would be distinguished from established arts festivals by its fusion of ideas events. Their aim was to gather world-class artists and pre-eminent thinkers from around the globe, showcasing the city and the state as a major arts destination.The Festival offers hundreds of events each June, over 85 percent of them free.Click here for the entire line-up of the 2008 Festival events. update 4/3/08 The School Profile that our Head Search Consultant, Brigham Hill, is using as they begin to find candidates for Foote is now posted on their site. Click here to view. Linc Eldrege and Jessica Cockrell, who visited Foote in January, were greatly impressed with the school and were committed to imbuing the profile with the positive atmosphere that they felt on campus. Again, we ask that if you are aware of any potential candidates, you e-mail Linc directly to with their names. And don’t hesitate to contact either of us if you have any concerns or questions. Lisa Gray and Gordon Armour update 4/3/08 New Alumnae/i Directory In Progress We are working once again with Harris Direct. Harris does the research at no charge to Foote. They make their money by selling the directories. Foote does NOT get any of the proceeds. What Foote does get is updated, verified information on our alums – including many who have been "lost." (Many larger schools and nearly all colleges have staff members that do this full-time) That means we can keep in touch with you and you'll be able to keep in touch with each other. Foote's Alumnae/i Office office is happy to provide, at no cost, the addresses of your classmates when you want to reach them. And since our ability to do that is supported by the Harris data collection, we came to the conclusion that it's worth the effort. If there are Foote people you would like to reach, please don't feel pressed to buy a directory, just get in touch with us! You should know: Harris does not sell, rent, or otherwise share e-mails, addresses, phone numbers or any other information it gathers for schools and college.

Nick's mother, Eleanor DeVane, graduated in 1978, his aunt Kate DeVane in 1982, and his uncle Will DeVane in 1984. His grandfather, Milton DeVane, is a member of the Class of 1942. Nick has graduated and is now at Exeter. MAROON AND GREY – the family tradition continues.
