Episode 026: The Kids of Kent

• In this double-length episode we hear about ringing at Kent School spanning seven decades, from the ringers themselves. They are:
  • Alex “Sandy” Taft, Jr., class of 1962;
  • Andy Deganahl, class of 1969;
  • Sidney Kirkpatrick, class of 1974;
  • Ellen Jennings, class of 1991;
  • Adrea Marshall, class of 1993;
  • Alex T. Taft, III, class of 1999;
  • Alice Benjamin, class of 2018;
  • Stella Klingebiel, class of 2019; and
  • Matthew Austin, faculty since 2008.
• This conversation touches on coming to Kent, learning about ringing while at Kent, activities of the ringers’ both at Kent and afield, and the future of ringing at Kent.
• Special thanks are due to the previous ringing masters of Kent School: Isaac Atwater (1931-1938), William E. Howard (ca. 1950-1975), David Bailey (1975-1979), and Thomas W. Holcombe (1979-2016). 

And thank you, friends.
