<p>Crester, I think Founder’s basement has been remodeled a dozen times over since the 1950s so you may be visiting what is now a bathroom or utility closet but please don’t let that put a damper on your pilgrimage :)</p>
<p>As a final note, thinking about the web of people going through HC, I just want to remember one more alumnus who I had the fortune to meet on several occasions in the 1990s while on campus. When I think about the people I consider role models, I include Walter Sondheim ’25 who passed away a few years ago. </p>

<p>Interesting that Stephen Sachs noted that he is from Baltimore. In 1954, Walter Sondheim was head of the Baltimore school district and led it to be the 1st city south of the Mason Dixon Line to desegregate.</p>
