I missed a couple of days, but my excuse is legit: I was attending the 50th reunion of the Eaglebrook School Class of 1974.
Eaglebrook is a boarding school (with a significant number of day students) for boys from grades 6-9, the vast majority of whom then go on to prep school. Its current rate for tuition and room and board (upwards of $60,000) would make it unattainable were my parents interested in sending my today but, if memory serves, it cost less than $4,000 in 1971.
I attended Eaglebrook with King Abdullah of Jordan (Class of 1977) and actor Oliver Platt (Class of 1976); other luminaries who have attended include Michael Douglas, Scooter Libby, journalist Christ Hedges and historian Michael Beschloss.
It was good to go and see some of my old chum. I’ll be back at the blog tomorrow.
