The current owner of the property called me this evening. We have a meeting scheduled for the morning and will hopefully be shooting the Virtual Tour. I'll keep everyone posted.

I was brought in as they called in in 7th grade. I am a cousin of the late Kelly Morgan and Maryland lax player Tony Morgan.I I watched great players like Marty Cloud UMBC, Donny Sadler Maryland, Ken Kipkey ?, Eric Mendlemen and Rick Peret and Tom Wagner play lacrosee like no others. I watch Mike Burnett play as an 8th or 9th grader with the varsity with a broom handle sanded down for a lax pole. I went to class in the down stairs of the upper school and the old mansion.There was a full nights armour standing in the corner watching over the front door. It was a magical place with rumors of tunnels running under ground dating back to slavery. We never found them but looked for years I spent there. Dick Webster our headmaster was a firm but fair man. Its seems we spent too much time in his office. I left after my the start of my third year on campus. They told us 3 days before school started and we had been a football practice for 3 weeks that the school would be closing in Dec. The old man who ran the palce had died and his son thought the school account was his personal check book. It was a great place to be a kid and still is a part of me I will never forget. I drove up there 3-4 weeks ago after 10 years of not seeing it. Our football/lacrosse field on the water is someones back yard. The mansion has been fence off and divivded into 3-4 home sites. Still could hear the late coach Duden yelling at us from sidelines to play better against the Gilman if we ever wanted to make varsity.

I think Vicki is wrong, in that I am her only sibling who attended. I was there for 7th and 8th grade in the late '70's. I went on to Martin Spalding H.S. (now Archbishop Spalding), and during 10th or 11th grade a bunch of Wroxeter friends entered Spalding when Wroxeter closed. I remember coach Moorhead and how lax and football were big there. I took one high school-level math class during 8th grade, which allowed me access to the mansion, a very impressive space. I was relegated to a horse stable-like building for most of the rest of my classes. Music class was in another building across campus, right on a cliff edge overlooking the Severn. Not far from the "stables" was a cove with a pier, where some kids would arrive to school by boat, and from where they would skip out early to ski and drink. It was a good education there, and they were strict. I remember that a guy we knew had stolen a roll of tickets to a school dance. He gave a bunch to me and my best friend, and we got caught giving them away to other kids (most kids had to pay for them). Once a week, for months, we had to go to the tennis courts, where we were instructed on how to formally march like soldiers, as we were berated as "non-gentlemen". Good times.

I would have stayed there had the new headmaster not embezzled money and bankrupted the school. I, like almost all my classmates, transfered to Severn School in 1980 and spent my 6th-12th grade years there. Four of the teachers and administrators from Wroxeter pulled their resources and began a new school in Arnold in 1981 called Chesapeake Academy, where my son attends today. It was a great school, I have always been sorry I was not able to finish there. There were GREAT lacrosse players and coaches (Dick Webster, Jim moorehead, Rob White) that were there. In the 70's lax heyday around here there used to annually be the St. mary's Tourney, which always had Severn, Wroxeter, St. Mary's and usually BL. If there is anything else I can tell you, I can always dig out my yearbooks. Ricky John,
