Stephen Sanger ’60, alumnus and brother of fellow RCS alums Michael ’57, Alexander ’61, Morgan ’65, and Anne ’67 was killed in action during the Vietnam War at age 19. To honor his brother’s memory, Alexander Sanger ’61, together with the Sanger family, worked with Rippowam Cisqua School to establish The Stephen Sanger Memorial Lecture Program at RCS. This fund was established through the generosity of the Sanger family and close friends and classmates of Alex and Stephen. It will provide material support for Rippowam Cisqua’s existing Foundations of Education Lecture Series--and, each year, one of the School's Foundations of Education lectures will bear Stephen Sanger's name. The purpose of the lecture program is two-fold: To invite outside experts to speak with members of the School community and the larger Bedford community about parenting, child development, and lifelong learning; and to identify alumni who have followed career paths of note, and invite them to speak with the School community.
Rippowam Cisqua School honors the memory of Stephen Sanger and extends its sincerest thanks to Alexander Sanger, the Sanger family, and all those who helped to endow this lecture program.
