Andover alumnus Laura Vinroot Poole talks with graduates from the Class of 1990, in advance of their 35th reunion.
Our first 4th generation Andover student, Chris Swihart grew
up a 3rd culture expat kid of foreign service parents who decided upon boarding school when his 8th grade class was going to consist of only 1 student, being Chris, in Zagreb.
Upon his birth, his father received a note in the diplomatic
pouch welcoming him to the Class of 1991.
Chris skipped the 8th grade going to a boarding school in Salzburg for a year.
Like many of us, Chris knows that he finally found his people when he set foot on campus. His closest pals to this day are his PA people. His story of ex-pat culture shock, his being a year younger than most of our class, and his feeling a little bit behind at all times didn’t seem to hold him back.
