Dedication of Mein Hall

                  This Reunion weekend, alumni joined faculty and friends of the School in celebrating the dedication of M Dorm to Nan and Simon Mein. Headmaster Roach, Director of Admission Louisa Zendt ’78 and Chair of the Board of Trustees Katherine duP. Gahagan voiced their gratitude for and admiration of the Mein’s years of service, participation and leadership in School life. Louisa Zendt ’78 shared fond memories of the freshly baked bread the Nan and Simon would offer to advisees and students who were always made to feel welcome in their home.

Nan and Simon Mein were pioneers who helped shape the spirit of St. Andrew’s. As the first dorm parent for female students, Nan oversaw the School’s transition into coeducation, while Simon brought unique wisdom and heart to his chaplaincy. Their work as teachers, advisors, friends, dorm parents and essential fixtures in the community for almost 30 years is now commemorated in the christening of a Mein Dorm.
