In honor of Jane Piatelli’s retirement
I lived in Eames for two years with Larry, Jane and their young kids. The primary reason I feel a connection is Jane always went out of her way to make my partner (now husband) Michael feel welcome, have the correct name tag etc. when the 3 dads and mom seemed confusing to others at Gov’s during parents weekends, alumni day etc. will always appreciate her effort and impact.

In honor of The Amazing Dining Hall Staff & Kris the recycling guru - Lisa from Sci-Tech
The Dining Hall Staff was so wonderful and took such great care of us as we held URJ Sci-Tech Academy on your campus. Working in the Sci-Tech office, I looked forward to my mornings Kris would come for the recycling; we always had a good laugh to start the day!

In honor of Larry and Jane Piatelli ... split equally between the "Larry Piatelli Scholarship Fund & The Govs Annual Fund"
Without Larry Piatelli I would not have transformed from a rough edged kid to an NCAA athlete and Captain or had the fight to survive stage 4 cancer. Without Jane Piatelli I would not be a great Dad of three successful kids and a husband of 27 years. Without them both I would not be where I am in the corporate world or owning several successful side sports businesses along with real estate. When I say Larry and Jane changed (i.e. saved) my life I can both qualify it and quantify it as the reality for my current family is SO much different from the one I grew up in and with. I fought and built and earned everything because of their influence on me - Alex Moody '89 (proud member/goaltender of the 1988 ('and only' Boys New England Prep Championship hockey team). Hello to my very good hockey buddies Martin and Eric Lacroix, Nick Vachon, Chris D'Orio, Derek Sullivan, Kevin Lydon, Andy Noel (RIP buddy we miss all you so much)
