ALUMNI NEWS

The Palm Beach County Chapter of the ACLU of Florida recently recognized Richard T. Nolan '54, along with Robert C. Pingpank, for exceptional leadership and devoted community service at its Annual Freedom Award Luncheon. Both have served as powerful witnesses to the dignity of GLBT persons for over 50 years. They actively and publicly support the ACLU's GLBT project, fighting discrimination and shaping popular opinion through the courts, legislatures and education. As an Episcopal priest, Canon Nolan led many within the Episcopal Church USA to support the ordination of gay and lesbian clergy and the blessing of same-sex unions. Locally, he is a founding board member of the Pride Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches and an advisor to The Hemlock Society of Florida. In 2004, the couple completed "Soulmates: More Than Partners."

The Rev. Canon Richard T. Nolan '54

4/21/2009

Acting on our FL attorney's advice, my partner of 53 years (Bob Pingpank - a German surname) and I will marry legally during our June 2009 50th Class Reunion at Trinity College, Hartford. We began our life together as classmates in the fall of 1955 at Trinity. The clergy-led, 20-minute, traditional, ecumenical Service will be held on June 4 at 4 p.m. in the Trinity College Chapel; all are welcome; no formal invitations, no gifts, comfortable attire. The next Monday (15th) will find us at the Golden Alumni Luncheon at BLS. My "elder-health" is iffy, so this might well be our last trip north. This will certainly be a "sentimental journey" in so many ways! We're at www.nolan-pingpank.com.
