Gayl's Story

I was thrilled in 2012 to return to BBA to watch their drama club production of M*A*S*H, the original book having been written by my father and Dr. H. Richard Hornberger (the original Hawkeye), under the pen name "Richard Hooker," back when I was attending school at BBA. Funny how things come full circle!
I miss Vermont, but love going back for reunions and seeing old friends. Hope to see you there!
