Generations of Memories

For Barbara Larsen Lincoln, supporting Andover is a family affair. The daughter of George “Swede” Larsen ’24, Barbara remembers being aware of Phillips Academy from a very early age. “Dad’s study on the second floor of our house in Newton was practically a shrine to Andover! Being a curious kid, I’d look over some of the artifacts that he treasured and, with time, couldn’t help but develop a strong affection for PA as well.”

Samuel Phillips & Sarah Abbot Society Members Return to Campus

On Saturday, May 2, more than 100 alumni, spouses, and parents attended a luncheon in the recently opened Paresky Commons. The event included trustees, members of the Samuel Phillips & Sarah Abbot Society, and Alumni Council members.

A Tax-Smart Option for the Current
Economic Climate

Today, the potential benefits of charitable lead annuity trusts (“CLATs”) are greater than ever before. The current combination of low interest rates and depressed asset valuations may allow donors to make significant annual gifts to Andover and still pass significant assets—potentially free of transfer tax—to their heirs.

The Samuel Phillips & Sarah Abbot Society recognizes and honors those alumni, faculty, parents, grandparents, and friends who have remembered Phillips Academy in their estate plans through a bequest intention, a life income arrangement, or a charitable lead trust.
