COCKTAIL
PARTY ON
MISS SAIGON
OPENING
NIGHT
More than 50 VIP guests attended the OSCA cocktail party in
the Keith Humble Auditorium at the James Forbes Academy on
Friday 18 October, prior to the opening night of the Old Scotch Music
and Drama Club’s 2019 production, Miss Saigon.
Former Presidents of the Foundation, Peter Joyce (’56) and Barb,
and Michael Stillwell (‘68) were delighted to mingle with the guests
which also included former and current Directors of Development,
Peter Crook and Janet, Alan Watkinson, and Tim Shearer (’85) and
Christine. Covering a period of 30 years, three Executive Directors of
OSCA were also present: Leigh McGregor (’56) and Ros, Tim Shearer
(again!) and Christine, and Scott Montgomery (’85).
Visiting Scotch for the first time in many years were Tyler Tingley
and his wife, Marcia. Tyler is the former Principal of Exeter Academy,
New Hampshire. Tyler was enormously generous in his support and
advice to the Development Office in its early formative years, and was
a wonderful host to visiting Principals and Directors of Development
on several occasions.
There was genuine warmth and friendship among all our guests,
who were welcomed by Scott Montgomery, and then addressed by
the incoming President of OSMaD, Katherine McDonald, and OSMaD
Patron, Cherine Peck.
This gathering was the perfect opportunity to prepare for the brilliant
opening night performance of Miss Saigon, and it again enabled OSCA
to show its gratitude to and respect for many people who have given so
much to Scotch in many different ways over
some 40 years.
ALAN WATKINSON – ACTING DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
