OPENING UP POSSIBILITIES—THE CLASSES OF 1970, 1971 AND 1972
 |
Three classes celebrated 50th reunions in 2022, and all three are working toward establishing individual endowed scholarships in honor of this special milestone.
These scholarships that the classes of 1970, 1971, and 1972 are creating for financial assistance will help ensure that students most able to benefit from and contribute to Peddie have access to a Peddie education.
Humbled by those whose gifts made their Peddie education possible, grateful for the friendships they established, and in appreciation for all they learned during their time at Peddie, members of these reunion classes wanted to ensure that future generations of students are able to attend Peddie and have the opportunity to form cherished friendships—like the ones they share.

Lance Wolfson ’70 and Roy Grossman ’70, Richard Sachs ’71, the late Sandor Balogh ’72—whose IRA beneficiary designation was the lead gift to his class’s scholarship—and Ray Fitzgibbon ’72 are leading the charge to show how easy it is to make a meaningful
impact on Peddie’s future students.
“Education has always been a primary value for my family,” said Wolfson ’70. “It’s my wish that Peddie will continue to provide young adults with the broadest opportunities and richest context by maintaining the highest standards.”

Sachs ’71, who made an outright gift to the Class of 1971 scholarship, quoted potter Kaneshige Michiaki in explaining what inspired him. “Tradition consists of creating something new with what one has inherited,” he said. “I gave my scholarship donation so others could share it with me and then make it their own.”
When asked what he hopes his class’s scholarship will offer future students, Fitzgibbon ’72 said, “The same thing mine did for me. Peddie was pivotal in opening up possibilities that otherwise would not have been available to me.”
