Thanks for participating in The Tabor Boy Project!
On a late summer day in 1973 I first stepped aboard Tabor Boy as a wide-eyed, green freshman. Like thousands of other boys and girls who have crossed the rail of this amazing vessel, my life was forever changed that day. Four years later, I left Tabor Academy as a young adult confident that I could accomplish nearly anything I set my mind to doing.
In 2001, I became the executive director of the American Sail Training Association where I had the opportunity to work with hundreds of other sail training vessels and tall ships from across the world. From this unique perspective, my appreciation for my Tabor Boy experiences only grew stronger.
Several years ago, Patrick Collins, a Tabor student and Tabor Boy executive officer, wrote a book about the history of the schooner for his senior project. This website picks up on Pat Collins' great work.
Over the past year there has been a major transformation in how we use technology and the internet to communicate and work. Collaborative software and websites like this one allow people to co-create like not even imagined when Pat wrote his history. The Tabor Boy Project is an effort to capture the stories, photos and videos that continue to add to Tabor Boy's rich history and define and demonstrate her mission.
Please register, read, contribute and converse. The Tabor Boy Project is a living history work in progress that needs your contributions. Thanks for sharing!

Personally I would only be able to schedule something on a weekend or evening in either Hoyt or Lyndon South auditorium. I do this for my leadership forum speakers, but the attendance of students is entirely optional---which sometimes draws a dissapointing crowd as student's interests are usually elsewhere. The good part about this option is that it has a wide scheduling ability.
What I would suggest as the best option however, would be at a Friday All-School presentation or at a chapel meeting (monday and thursday). At both of these weekly events, the entire school is avaiable and required to attend.If this sounds more appropriate for your presentation, we would need to reserve a space in the next week or so.
Please let me know if any of these are acceptable and, if any, which one you and SEA would prefer.
Sounds good. Can't wait!
At Tabor; Let me know if you would still like to do that SEA visit/presentation in the near future.
How's the little dude, little dudess, and admiral doing? I'm headed out tomorrow for a two week trial out to Andros Island, Bahamas. Should be interesting. I hope all is well on the home front. My best to the little people and admiral.
Best,
Jamie
Will definitely ping you next time I am up there and look forward to hearing about all you have going on. All best for a great Fall. jlc
