• Joe: "Anna and I believe Marlborough did a lot to help our daughters become the strong leaders they are today. It is important to us to partner with them to make a difference. That is why we have made several gifts over the years."
• Anna: "But we wanted to do more than just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful and have been able to save enough for retirement. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with Marlborough."
• Joe: "After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in each of our wills. Our attorney took the simple language available from the school and included a nice bequest in my will as well as Anna's. We know the difference that our bequest can make in the lives of Marlborough students. There were many others who came before us that did the same when our children were at the school. It was our way to show our appreciation for everything Marlborough has done for our family. We are delighted that we will be helping other students through these gifts."
