Dear Avon Old Farms Community,
It is with great sadness that we share news of the passing of Avon Old Farms legend, Frank "Butch" Grant Leavitt, on August 27th, 2019. A graduate of Avon in 1952, Frank matriculated to Dartmouth College, class of 1956, and pursued further studies at the Mackay School of Mines in Nevada. Frank returned to Avon Old Farms and first served as a math tutor and geology teacher in the 1960s and went on to serve as Director of Admissions for 23 years. In his admissions role, Frank welcomed and guided generations of Avonians.
A memorial service is scheduled to honor Frank's life and legacy during Alumni Reunion Weekend at Avon Old Farms School. A reception will take place afterward for all friends and family. More information will follow regarding the date and time of the memorial service for Mr. Leavitt.
Sincerely,
AVON OLD FARMS |
