Ken talks the talk, but more importantly walks the walk. The differentiator for Avon, which is embodied in Ken, is the emphasis on not only academic excellence but also values. Ken is ethical, warm, funny, understated, kind, intelligent, sympathetic, flexible, genuine, dignified, loyal, and consistent. He sets the bar high for a headmaster and thereby reflects the values that are distinctive to Avon. It was a privilege to serve as a trustee on his watch, particularly because I didn’t qualify as a student—he didn’t arrive in time for the Class of 1958!” Stephen Lash ’58, Board of Directors (Hon.)
