Now It Is My Turn
Bruce Stone '76
It is hard to describe how Episcopal has impacted my life. My first experience with EA occurred in September of 1962 when I arrived at Merion for my first day there. Throughout my 14 years as a student, EA continually shaped my life and helped to mold me into who I am today (for better or worse). During those chaotic teenage years of the early 1970's, it was EA that offered me a positive way to be me. To say I made life-long friends there is an understatement, but my attraction goes way beyond that.
EA became a fixture of my life well after my time as a student. In fact, EA defined me as I continued teaching there for 27 years. My family has been associated with EA for three generations. My children graduated from EA, and two other members of my family still attend EA. One of the aspects of our family that I am most proud of is that there has been a member of our family on EA's campus continually since 1949.
The question really isn't why I support EA. Rather it should be; why not? A lot of the success in my life is a direct result of the school. Why should I not support it to the best of my ability so that it may become even better? Through my gifts, I am acknowledging that I had help along the way, and now it is my turn to reciprocate. I couldn't be more proud, and I am pleased to have joined the Bishop William White Society so that I can support EA long into the future as well as today.
