Stephen Schecter - Class of 1983
Stephen Schechter ’83 has been supporting Gould for over 26 years as a member of Gould’s 1836 Society. In 2015, he established the John L. Wight Scholarship to honor John Wight, a beloved faculty member and coach at Gould. This scholarship is awarded annually to a Gould student from the local area who demonstrates a passion for learning, a respect for the Maine outdoors, and an affinity for Nordic skiing.
Gould has and will always be a special place, the friends we made, the memories we cherish, the faculty and classmates we lost, they all taught us something. When you walk on campus and you look over Farnsworth Field House to that sky, you know you are in a special place, and people like Gary Hill, and Dick Dohrmann are watching over things, and we can’t forget Charlie Newell, Semper Fidelis sir, you keep your watch on your six, and John Wight will keep it on his 12…
There are those teachers who are no longer at Gould, and each and every one has had some impact on some student, that is what makes Gould a special place.
When on campus last summer with his son, Stephen shared that after an hour on campus, his son said, “Dad, I want to go here. It does not take a lot of convincing.”
Stephen has included Gould in his estate plan to ensure continued support for its mission and values in the future.
