After 17 years at The Chestnut Hill School, beloved woodshop teacher Charlie Folco plans to retire in June and move to California. Years of sanding, joining, and varnishing will transition to years of golfing, relaxing, and watching baseball.

Join the CHS community as we honor Charlie and his years of service. You can be part of the celebration by:

• Making a gift in Charlie’s honor to the 2011/2012 Annual Fund recognizing Charlie Folco’s impact on CHS students and alumni. Gifts of every size are welcome and appreciated. Charlie will be provided a list of donors (excluding gift amount) who make gifts in his honor.

• Submitting a written memory to be included in a recognition book. Do you remember a funny or poignant story about your time in woodshop? Would you like to write a message of farewell? Fill in this online form with your message or photo. Messages and photos will be presented to Charlie in book form.

• Attending the Alumni and Family BBQ on Tuesday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m.

• Bringing a napkin holder, paper towel stand, lamp, or other treasure you’ve made in woodshop for a group photo on May 29. Have you kept a treasure made in woodshop? Bring a small size woodshop item. Alumni and their items will pose for a photo with Charlie. Electronic copies of the photo will be distributed to attendees.

Additional events are being prepared and more information will follow for how you can be a part of this celebration and farewell of our beloved friend, Charlie Folco.

Contact Jeri Goetz or Tramaine Weekes in the Development Office for more information about the celebration.

April 1, 2011

Hello CHS Alumni,

As the newest member of The Chestnut Hill School alumni and development office, I would like to introduce myself as the new assistant director of development.  With primary responsibility for alumni relations and communications, I am excited to join the community and to be able to work with you and all your fellow alumni.

I am a graduate of the Woodward School for Girls and Colby College, where I am an active alumna of both communities, and am currently finishing my master’s degree in non-profit leadership at Northeastern University.  In my “spare time,” I enjoy traveling, pretty much any form of creative expression (music, cooking, design, performance art, you name it), and I am working my way through the AFI’s 100 Best American Movies list.

My professional experience includes teaching science and math at Woodward, where I had my first experiences in the field of development. My passion quickly became reconnecting alumni with their alma mater and I had the opportunity to do so as the associate director of alumni relations at Wentworth Institute of Technology.  While at Wentworth, my colleagues and I created young alumni programming, enhanced affinity programming, and developed the e-communications for the alumni office.

As a graduate of and a former teacher at an independent school, I recognize the unique connections that independent school alumni have with their alma mater and my goal is to help enhance the quality of your relationship with CHS. My initial goals are to provide more effective communication, to strengthen bonds between alumni and the school, and to identify opportunities for alumni to impact and support the current students at CHS.

I look forward to meeting you at an upcoming alumni event. The annual barbeque for young alumni in the classes of 2001-2011 is on June 16. If you would like to be involved in the planning of this or any of our other upcoming events, please feel free to contact me. Events are always more successful if you encourage your friends to join you and we can help you make that happen.

If you have thoughts or ideas about alumni activities, events, or ways to reconnect, I encourage you to share them with me at tweekes@tchs.org or through Facebook (Chestnut Hill Alums), Twitter (tchsdotorg), or by sharing a class note for the Hill Happenings magazine.   I look forward to working with you to advance alumni relations at CHS.

All my best,

Tramaine Weekes

Assistant Director of Development

Will Van Dyke ’96 was raised in Georgia, but his father’s job moved him to Rochester, New York and, eventually, West Roxbury, Massachusetts. He attended The Chestnut Hill School for the 6th grade and remembers after-school drama with Candy Gold as one of his best experiences.

While drama became a primary focus, piano was a genuine passion that started when he was five years old. Serious about his music, Will received private instruction at the Rivers School of Music. After CHS and Beaver Country Day School, Will attended The Tisch School of Performing Arts at New York University where he concentrated in musical theater performance. While at Tisch, Van Dkye met his mentor, Andrew Lippa, the Grammy nominated musician, lyricist and musical director. Lippa helped change the direction of Will’s career from acting to music and he hasn’t looked back.

Will recently released his album, Chasing the Day and is pianist for the The Addams Family on Broadway.  Will and I chatted over the phone to discuss music, Broadway, and life in New York City.

JLO: What life lessons has your career in music taught you?

WVD: Always treat people as you would like to be treated. I feel so fortunate for all that I have experienced so far in my career. I have met some really wonderful people who have been incredible in helping me get where I am today. I have also met some pretty horrible people in the business and it just reminds you that you have a choice. When someone reaches out to me for insight or advice, I make sure I get back to them and try to be as helpful as I can.

JLO: Is your ultimate goal to continue the Broadway part of your career or to concentrate more on albums and performances?

WVD: Writing a musical that is someday opened and produced is my ultimate goal. It wouldn’t matter to me if it is off-Broadway, just to have that happen would be a dream.  If my album went triple platinum, that would be great too!!

JLO: How long have you been working on your album? What was the inspiration for the music and how did you come to the title, Chasing The Day?

WVD: Dominick Amendum, the co-producer, and I came up with the idea of recording this album a year and a half ago, so I guess since then. Chasing The Day refers to a lyric on the second track of the album entitled, "Come Home." I'm a huge Alanis Morissette fan, and all her albums refer to a lyric, and with the images that we captured, and the stories that we are trying to tell that really captured the essence. In the liner notes of the collaborator, Josh Halloway describes the album as "songs that were written on the road. Aboard planes. Across time zones. Between sets. In hotel lobbies. At 24 hour coffee shops. Miles apart. When the thought of home is your only companion. Chasing the Day is about the places life takes us and the people who bring us back."
 

JLO: What has been your proudest moment?

WVD: That would definitely be playing keyboards for the first preview of The Addams Family, when my entire family came to the show. I remember as the overture began with the theme music of  The Addams Family, the crowd went absolutely nuts. The sound of everyone’s excitement was just unreal. I will never forget that feeling.
 

JLO: Greatest disappointment? Lesson learned with it?

WVD: When I had just graduated from NYU, I auditioned to be the Musical Director of Rent. I absolutely nailed the audition and had a really good feeling about it. Two days later, I received the call that I did not get the job. I was so upset and the reason I was given had nothing to do with my ability.  I was told simply, I was too young.   Andrew Lippa, my mentor, said, “Will, this is fine. You will come with me to Los Angeles. That turned out to be an incredible opportunity. I played the piano for one of my greatest musical inspirations, Alanis Morrisette. Soon after, I was touring nationally for Wicked playing keyboard in the orchestra.

JLO: What musicians inspire you?

WVD: Anyone who plays piano rock: Alanis Morissette, Billy Joel, and Elton John to name a few.

JLO: What do you love most about playing on Broadway?

WVD: It’s just a lot of fun. It is wonderful to be a part of something where everybody genuinely loves what they are doing. It is wonderful to play a role in making a particular piece of art.

JLO: Greatest class ever taken at Tisch and why?

WVD: Vocal performance with Alix Korey, Broadway actress and recording artist. She was so brutally honest about how you tell a story. I remember a particular moment when someone performed and when they finished she asked how they felt. The person responded that they didn’t feel very good about their performance. She said, “Well, it’s not about you. It’s about how you make the audience feel.” That has really stuck with me.
 

JLO: If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

WVD: Leonard Bernstein. I can’t say exactly why, just that I think he is so perfect.

JLO: What about your surroundings inspires your music?

WVD: The energy of NYC is what inspires everyone who comes here. For me though, what inspires me most are the moments when the city stops. They are rare, but there are moments when something beautiful will happen and collectively the city will sigh, and for a moment the hustle and bustle is gone and there is silence.

JLO: If you weren't a musician, what would you choose to do?

WVD: I don't want to be anything else but a musician. I think that's a really important thing to know about yourself when you choose to go into this career. It's the number one question in every book about choosing a life in the arts, 'would you be happy doing something else?' If you answer yes to that question, do something else.

Will’s Resume of Work includes:

• Wicked (1st National/Broadway)
• Kathleen Marshall's revival of Grease (associate music director), and Present Laughter
• pianist/conductor for productions of Reefer Madness, The Goddess Wheel, Songs For A New World, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Smile, Snoopy, The Full Monty, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show
• weekly role of co-host at Broadway Sessions with Ben D
• lent his musical abilities to Andrew Lippa's Little Princess (associate music director), ,The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Avenue Q, 9 to 5, Book Of Mormon, The Kid, The Big Time, and Behind The Limelight.

The Christina Clarke Genco (Brooke) Revolution Lacrosse Scholarship Fund - http://www.revolutionlacrosse.com/
The Christina Clarke Genco Safe Biking Fund - http://bikeandbuild.org/cms/

If you would like to send notes to the family, the addresses are as follows:

Caroline Genco
54 Lakewood Road
Newton, MA  02461

Robert Genco
33 Vermont Street
West Roxbury, MA  02132

"Genco was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding in Alabama. Christina was an active member of the Bike & Build community, having previously participated in the Boston to Santa Barbara route in 2009, as well as several of the CWM (Chris Webber Memorial) alumni rides from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale. Christina's zest for life and passion for the cause made her a beloved member of the Bike & Build family and her passing has left a permanent hole in our lives." - Bike & Build

We are all stunned by this unfortunate news, and this will be a difficult time for everyone in our community.

CHS is awaiting news from the Genco family about plans for memorial services. We will be sure to pass along any news to the community as soon as details are finalized, including contact information for members of the community to send notes or flowers.

Please feel free to contact the development office (alumni@tchs.org) if you have any questions in the meantime.
