Mr. Stratton, you made an enormous impact on my life and my writing skills. Through the years, my writing has allowed me to excel in academic, personal, and professional capacities. Your support and encouragement helped me to become a confident person. I wouldn't be where I am without you. I miss you constantly, but I take comfort knowing that your legacy lives on here at Nichols through your many friends, colleagues, and former students, including me. I try to channel you when I am correcting student tests and papers in the hopes that it will help at least some of them like you helped me.

Thank you.

In memory of William F. "Kim" Kimberly

Mr Kimberly was my English teacher in the early 1970s, and introduced us to The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. His cheerful wit and love for literature was infectious and inspiring, and set me on course for a lifetime of reading, writing, and engagement in the great liberal arts tradition of western culture, especially of the English language. Mr Kimberly was also our neighbor in East Aurora, and is lovingly and eternally remembered.

In memory of William F. (Kim) Kimberly, Jr.

Grateful to Nichols for grants that helped me, my sister Delia, and my brother Charles to attend Nichols.

So happy to support our Nichols faculty - the heart of our school!

Congratulations to the Advancement team on a successful campaign!

In honor of My students over the years

With deep gratitude and affection for all of my students over the years. To all of the "wayward boys" advisories, to the "extended advisories," to all who have engaged in service work in our shared WNY community, and to all students of all identities, genders, backgrounds, talents, skills, interests, hopes, and dreams whose paths have crossed with mine: thank you. I have learned so much from my work as a member of our Nichols community. Being your teacher has allowed me to learn so much and to grow as a person in my own life. May we all always remember that the diversity of our community is its core strength. May we be mindful that, in life, we are all called to learn from and grow alongside one another. And, grounded in these values, may we work to have our actions in the world we all share be guided by our compassionate and merciful hearts. With gratitude & respect ~ kp

In honor of Mr. Ptak. Best teacher I ever had. Onward and upward!
