Koether Family '78, '17, and '14

Throughout all of the uncertainty the Spring of 2020 brought to our community, there is one thing we can count on- YOU! We are so proud of our Alumni for all you encompass and for being role models for all of our current Falcons. Seeing an article of one of our own doing so much good for the community is more than noteworthy. Tim Koether '78, Founder and CEO of Claremont Distillery in Fairfield, NJ, his wife, Janet, and family switched the production of spirits to sanitizer to offset the supply shortages during the coronavirus pandemic. His children, Anna '14 and James '17 were an intricate part of the everyday operations and helping however they could. All of the sanitizers were donated to the communities in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Koether family even caught the eye of celebrity Mike Rowe and was given $10,000 from Rowe on his "Return the Favor" television show. Way to go!
