He reflects back on his time at TA fondly and remembers really enjoying his business classes, teachers and friends. Erwin worked alongside his father in the family grocery store while he was a student. Even though this did not leave much time for extracurriculars, he did find time to join the track and basketball teams and was proud to wear maroon and gold. H Karen Lovell Irving and Charlotte Backman Fred * and Connie * Clark 24 John W. * and Marlene May Grant Lombard Erwin had a very successful career in bookkeeping and credits his mother for inspiring him to pursue a future in accounting. He says that the business classes he was able to take at Thornton Academy counted towards two years of courses in college and he is grateful to TA for helping him get ahead as he pursued his post-secondary degree. Fond memories, gratitude for a smart start, and friends who have also pledged their commitment to Thornton Academy motivated Erwin to join the 1811 Society as a Charter Member. “I think it’s a good thing for people to remember Thornton Academy in their wills. It’s good for the future of the students and our school.” INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE 1811 SOCIETY? Please Contact: Director of Development, Haley Thompson [email protected] 207.602.4460
