Joel G. Kelly

My wife Mary Jeanne and I were close friends of Joel G. Kelly, our classmate who died on June 23, 2008.

After Harvard, Joel taught Latin and Greek and chaired the classics department at Kent School in Connecticut. He loved to spend summers at his camp in Maine, near Mt. Borestone, where we visited him on our honeymoon and many times in later years with our children. At his older brother Scott's invitation, we revisited his camp and climbed Mt. Borestone, where, wearing our twenty-fifth-reunion T-shirts, we scattered a portion of Joelıs ashes on July 20, 2009.

Joel was much beloved by his students and fellow teachers at Kent. He loved coaching and working with the Kent crew program, and was honored a few years ago by having a new shell named for him.
