It really happened! The Andes Property becomes AP Farm and is donated to the school

I attended the ceremony last night. There were thirty or so in attendance. I met Adam Rose for the first time and had a chance to thank him personally for his and Peter McQuillen's gift.

Wow! What a great feeling. I think it was almost eight years ago to the day that I sat in my first BOE  executive session and first discussed making an offer on the property. Previous boards had worked on it too.  Time flies.

Here is a 2002 Ledger Editorial for old times. The discussion sounds very familiar to the last couple of iterations.
