richard r. rearick Dick Rearick had just retired from a second tenure at Cardigan when he completed his Cardigan history (1960–95). A graduate of Loomis Academy and Dartmouth College, Rearick was a World War II veteran who had served with the 125th Engineering Battalion, and worked as the business manager of the Emma Willard School, Montclair Kimberley Academy, and the Lincoln School. Rearick passed away in 1997.
robert c. hopkins Charter trustee Bob Hopkins worked directly with the School’s founders to write Cardigan’s first history (1945–60). He was a graduate of Worcester Academy and Dartmouth College (of which his brother would later be president), and a longtime advertising executive with The New Yorker magazine. From drafting Cardigan’s first brochure in 1946 to penning the Cardigan hymn just before his death in 1962, Hopkins was a lifelong believer in the promise of Cardigan.
