On June 15, 2001, about 500 Norwich Free Academy Wildcats strolled across the graduation stage. And now, on the silver anniversary of that day, a podcast about their experiences ends.
In this episode, recorded earlier this month after a year away from their mics, Ian, Jim, and Zack reminisce one last time. They reflect on their experiences doing the podcast. They describe the special qualities of NFA. They also put together a sort of “clip show,” splicing together excerpts of each of our guests talking about NFA’s beautiful campus, special community, and more. Additionally, they share the latest on the class reunion process and identify opportunities later this year for the Class of 2001 to come together on campus. Oh, and of course there’s some trivia.
Special thanks to the NFA Foundation for supporting this podcast from the beginning. To find out how you can be the difference at NFA, please reach out to the Foundation for details. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!
Their names are Ian Cheney, Zack Lamothe, and Jim Wheeler, and they were honored to interview members of the NFA Class of 2001.
