Director's Corner
Few were so connected to St. Albans as Maurice K. “Maury” Heartfield Jr. ’46, who died on July 30, 2016. As a St. Albans alumnus, father and grandfather of alumni, Governing Board chair, and business administrator (1983-92), Maury knew St. Albans from most every angle and supported the school in myriad ways throughout his entire life.
He was a stalwart St. Albans volunteer, having served three terms on the Governing Board, the second, from 1980-82 as chair—a title his father held, making the only father-son team ever to helm that board. He served as president of the Alumni Association from 1966 to 1968—a title his son, Chip ’73, would later hold, making that sole father-son connection. (He also chaired the NCS board and the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation’s Finance Committee.) His presence at scores of Phonathons enlivened the phone banks. He was the fifth recipient of the Gilchrist-Holleman Alumni Service Award. His establishment of The Maurice K. Heartfield, Jr., ’46 Faculty Mortgage Assistance Fund has helped many current and former members of the faculty gain a toehold in the crazy world that is Washington real estate. His sunny demeanor and humorous approach could only improve any situation upon which he came.
The Alumni Office extends sympathies to his family, to include son Chip ’73, daughters Sarah NCS ’75 and Betsy NCS ’77, and grandchildren Robbie ’11 and Meredith NCS ’13; to his beloved classmates from ’46; to his many friends and acquaintances; and to ourselves, for our loss is also huge and heartfelt. We look forward to what will be a raucous celebration of his remarkable life in the Little Sanctuary at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 8.

From the STA Archives
August 2016 Alumni Puzzler
Question: Looking at the three generations of the Heartfield family who attended St. Albans, we began to wonder about the other three-generation alumni families out there, and found 18 in total (hey, it’s August – I’m sure things slow down a bit for you too). Anyone else care to try? Some hints: one well-known name appears twice (two brothers from the forties, one of whose two sons of the seventies sent their own lads here); other names can be gleaned from buildings…and clock towers; and one family has four generations under their belt (but it might not be the one you think). Of course, this list includes five families that currently have third-gen students here. First prize wins a copy of St. Albans School -- The First Hundred Years (…second prize gets two copies!).
Answer to the July 2016 Alumni Puzzler
Question: During the kitchen renovation in Lane-Johnston, many interesting artifacts have been brought to light. Any idea for what this service item was used?
Answer: Many wrote in to correctly identify the egg cup as a St. Albans service set item (and some lamented the passing of usage of plates with the crest, which continued into the early 80s). Just three wrote in to more correctly identify a double egg cup and its use -- James Dickey ’59, Harry Jones ’62, and Dan Daniels ’45, who explained the different sizes on the vessel as such: “one eats his soft-boiled egg in the small end of the cup, right from the shell, scooping out the egg with a tiny spoon…(or) use the big end, large enough for two soft-boiled eggs, opened and dumped in with bacon bits or a handful of croutons stirred into the tasty, gooey muck.”
Thanks to all who responded!
