Growing up just outside of the far boundaries for day students, Dan Gilbert came to Andover from Nashua, New Hampshire.
Dan’s father spent a PG year at Andover but rarely talked about it.
A swimmer from a young age, Dan attended swim meets a school in Exeter, but he knew that Andover was the right place to be.
Coming in as a new Lower, Dan swam all three years at PA. Voted in as swim team Captain our Senior year, Dan discussed the rigors of athletics and academics at PA.
Maybe the founder to the Tom Regan fan club, Dan took five classes from the man who often said teenagers were the lowest of life forms.
A tale that sounds familiar with many of us, Dan took time away from college in order to re-group after PA, which is a common theme among our classmates.
The ability to write and the ability to work hard became engrained in Dan, like it did in so many of us. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and Dan is glad he took the one that led to Main Street in Andover.
