The Richard F. Gregory Visiting Writing Series is a program launched by Shady Side Academy Senior School in Pennsylvania last year that features authors who spend a year on campus speaking and working with students as part of the English curriculum. The small school started in 1883 in a one room building and has since grown to produce alumni including two-time Pulitzer Prize winning historian David McCullough, screenwriter Peter Ackerman, Navy Admiral Richard G. Colbert and a host of others who since made their name in environmental, financial, creative, sports, literary, music and political fields.
But the man the Series is named for was a fascinating gentleman in his own right, an English teacher at the Academy for 36 years, and a New York native who as a 12 year-old posed for Norman Rockwell’s famed illustration of Tom Sawyer.

MONMOUTH COUNTY - Domestic violence does not just stop because of a crisis like the one we are currently facing. In fact, when stressors increase, violence and abuse can quickly escalate. For many victims, staying at home means being isolated with someone who is harming them. It is in these very trying times that a victim needs 180 even more, and we are determined to be there for anyone who needs our services. We have made a few temporary shifts to some of our services, but 180 is operational and here to help.
Domestic violence is never the victim’s fault and 180 Turning Lives Around stands with all victims. For forty-four years, 180, a private non-profit organization in Monmouth County, continues to provide confidential support and advocacy to victims of domestic violence in the aftermath of a highly emotional and traumatic experience with the assistance of its dedicated response team volunteers at police headquarters throughout Monmouth County.
