WINTER
2011
I remember quite well the first time I met IC’s Chairman of the Board, William
H. Turner. He was interviewing me for the job of president for IC. I am still
very impressed that this fellow American has been volunteering for the school
for the past 35 years.
What a great institution this school must be for people like Bill Turner to serve
it so loyally. It is indeed great! You will read more about Bill in the next few
pages but for me it was a wonderful introduction to a school and a country that
welcomed me so readily.
As a special thank you, we held a small dinner in November to thank Bill for his
dedication to International College.This issue is dedicated to him.
In this issue, we also interviewed a very special man, Dr. Howard Reed, the
grandson of our school’s founder and the last link and witness to IC’s past
in Turkey and its move to Beirut. Dr. Reed is a wealth of information and
provided with us with the missing parts in IC’s rich history which I am sure you
will find interesting.
Another highlight in this issue is the ActivBoards now available throughout IC.
These amazing boards have drastically changed the world of teaching. It’s an
amazing tool which makes you wish that you were a student again.
As always, I want to thank all of you who made contributions which enabled
the building of our new elementary school.The basements are now completed
and the work continues at a fast clip. Over 200 workers are actively on sight
aiming to deliver all three elementary school buildings by December 1st 2012.
It’s a very exciting time and I feel privileged to witness this part of IC’s history.
Thank you all for your generous donations.
With my best wishes,
John Johnson
