Thacher Magazine: The Best We Can Do
This summer we say goodbye to two legendary, long-term Thacher faculty members who made a remarkable, indelible impact on the school and its students.
In her 2019 TOAD Talk, Gallia Vickery reflected on the lessons she took away from E.B. White’s 1945 children’s novel Stuart Little. Primary among them was that it is ok to change your life plan, as long as you are moving towards something rather than running away. “But you don’t have to be in a hurry,” Gallia shared, “because I think you can be moving toward something important for a long time.”
After more than 20 years at Thacher, Bill McMahon retires this summer from his role as Director of Enrollment and Planning. He joined the School in 2003 from Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, where he served as the Director of Marketing and Planning following work in advertising in New York City. Bill earned his BA at Colgate, where his four sons—also Thacher graduates— attended college, and his MBA at Columbia.
