Navy Seaman Recruit Adrian A. Grey, son of Iocent B. Grey of Princeton, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Mr. Grey completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp was “battle stations.” The Navy describes the goal of this exercise as to “galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly ‘Navy’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.”
Princeton Day School recently welcomed Tracey Gates as Director of Alumni Relations and Reunion Giving, responsible for fostering the school’s relationship with alumni from PDS, and its predecessors, Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School. Ms. Gates co-chaired the 310 Anniversary Gala for the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, served as president of the Stony Brook Garden Club, and was a board member of both Trinity Counseling Service (including chair of the annual Bastille Day Ball), and SAVE.
