Anderson, Jr. received the Head of School’s Award during Alumni Weekend as he celebrated his 80th anni- versary with the school. Though he could not make the trip from Mystic, Ct., to Miami, he was present via video. To honor his long-time relationship with RE and the incredible milestone, Harry announced an $80,000 gift to the school. In true Harry Anderson style, always looking for the most meaningful way to support his alma mater, he encouraged all reunion classes to match his gift. This bold challenge gave a great boost to the school’s Fund for RE goal of $3 million – which was met. Harry continues to lead the philanthropic charge at RE and serves as inspiration to many!
