A Brooklyn native, Jake Barton arrived at Andover with a New York attitude and sardonic sense of humor. Coming from Brooklyn’s largest public high school to PA, Andover opened up a world where people knew his name and wanted to see him succeed. Calling Mr. Cobb a necromancer in our discussion has a much deeper meaning thirty five years later. Having recently sold his design firm, Jake is at a crossroads. As most of us know, Jake was instrumental in the design of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in Lower Manhattan, thinking daily of our own Todd Isaac. We are part of his psyche to this day, Jake said, “It’s so beyond belief”.
