Stuart Flanagan

There is an adage about lightning never striking the same place twice, but what about luck? A change of plans brought Stuart Flanagan to St. Christopher's and another kept him at school for ten years.  The result was a lifetime of friendships gained, memories made, and a scholarship to give boys a St. Christopher's education.
Turner Bredrup

Turner Bredrup '84

"Dad loved playing and listening to music. He excelled at the piano and delighted in supporting orchestras and their players. The friendships and mentors he developed through playing and supporting music were integral to the full life he led. Dad also loved exposing others to great music and would have been thrilled to bring performers to St. Christopher’s for everyone to enjoy."
