Ted Mooney’s Estate Gift Will Help Sustain the Values That Sustained Him

“Loomis Chaffee is a vibrant, caring community that challenges and launches smart, compassionate young people into the world to make it better, one person at a time. Loomis Chaffee helped me to become the explorer and risk-taker I became, and who I am still.

“As difficult, challenging, and, yes, humiliating as my experience was at Loomis, it was also caring, inspiring, and uniquely nourishing of my young self. This is why, as a member of the John Metcalf Taylor Society, I am leaving part of my estate to Loomis Chaffee to help sustain and extend those values and experiences that sustained me. It is also why I encourage others, as they are able, to do likewise.”

—Ted Mooney, member of the Loomis class of 1969, on the occasion of his class celebrating its 50th reunion.
