GP Athletic Hall Of Fame Induction Dinner
	From generation to generation parents pass down tradition to help their children learn family values. These traditions are important to building strong familial relationships that provide a sense of continuity and routine that families come to cherish. Traditions act as glue, that help families stay connected and strong.  Let us come together on Friday, October 26, 2007 to celebrate the athletic accomplishments of this first class of inductees. These men were more than great coaches, athletes, and teammates. Their record of accomplishment on the playing fields, in the classroom, and as members of the Prep alumni community caught the attention of the selection committee. That committee, an ad hoc group of alumni, former athletes, administrators, coaches and the Athletic Director, spent several months reviewing individual and team records and often consulted with former coaches and players of those who will be inducted into this inaugural class. The process was balanced, thorough and difficult given the large number of standout athletes who have graduated from or coached at Georgetown Prep. In short, they are outstanding representatives of Georgetown Prep's athletic history and traditions. We hope that if your schedule permits you might join the Prep campus community at the weekly Assembly of the Student Body at 12:30 p.m. on Friday (day of the Hall of Fame Induction) October 26th. As many of the inductees who can make it to campus early that day will be introduced to and welcomed by the students and faculty. This is bound to be a special day for everyone.   Schedule of Events/ Ticket Information Guest List Questions?

	Thanking Michael Horsey, '63, for his 36 years of service
	Dear Friends of Prep, Please join me in thanking Michael Horsey, '63, for his 36 years of service to Georgetown Prep. Mike has been an important part of the Georgetown Prep community since he first enrolled as a boarding student in 1961, and he continued to make contributions to our beloved institution since 1971 as a teacher, coach, and most recently as Dean of Admissions until his departure in September. Mike's impact is most noticeable in Prep's Admissions Office, which he directed since 1982. He was instrumental in diversifying Prep's student body so that it is not only representative of the United States, but also of the world. His use of technology in the admissions process made Prep a leader among its peers with a paperless application and electronic review process. His coaching work with the track and cross country teams made him a valuable asset to our athletic program, and he was always accessible to students long after they were admitted to Prep. Mike's impact as an educator, admissions director and coach will be missed. I consider him a friend and wish him well as he pursues new endeavors. If you would like to contact Mike you can reach him at: michael@michaelhorsey.com Peace, Rev. William L. George, S.J.

	Author Chris Mercogliano,'72, Speaks in DC on Saturday, October 27
	Thanks for checking back. I'm in the class of 72 and it turns out that I'm going to be giving a talk and signing my latest book at Politics and Prose in DC on Saturday, Oct 27 at 1 p.m. As co-director of the Albany Free School, Chris Mercogliano has had remarkable success in helping a diverse array of youngsters find their way in the world. His thirty-five years of experience have led him to the realization that contemporary childhood is in trouble. Most kids today, he says, are over-supervised, over-managed, over-scheduled, and over-saturated with electronic media. Indeed, claims Mercogliano, so much of their experience is controlled from without, and so little relies on their own inner resources anymore, that childhood itself has become "domesticated."
