Let's Make Episcopal Another Nephew
Sandra and George Boyd,V '54
Sandra and I are delighted that we participated in the Ever Episcopal Campaign. Our "naming opportunity" at the new campus honors those devoted and patient masters who put up with us boys and egged us along through the years. My father, I , three nephews and a great nephew were all given the "Episcopal Experience," something I deeply value.
Seeing the glorious new campus after it was completed led us to consider another gift—one that will keep alive the institution and the "Episcopal Experience" for students still to come. Like many people, our concern was whether our assets would provide a comfortable retirement. Because Sandra and I were hesitant to commit to another outright gift, the development staff carefully laid out various options for deferred giving. The approach that made sense to us was simply this:
Not having children of our own, but with seven nephews and a niece, we said, "Well, let's make Episcopal another nephew." I was a child of Episcopal and so in turn Episcopal is now one of ours. Changing our wills was a cinch and I put it on record with the school.
I find it especially satisfying to pay back my debt to the school—a debt, in conscience, that we all have.
