Kevin Gilmartin ’94 will be the new football coach at Nipmuc High School in Massachusetts.
When Nipmuc Regional athletic director Jim Grant was interviewing Kevin Gilmartin for the school’s head football coaching position, things didn’t start smoothly.
Strike one, according to Grant, was when Gilmartin noticed a picture of Grant’s sons Michael and Kevin.
“They had their Amherst baseball uniforms on, and that’s when he told me he went to Williams,” joked Grant.
But things worked out in the end. Note also that:
In the college ranks, Gilmartin was often on the road recruiting, which made it challenging to spend time with his wife Kelly and the couple’s 10-month-old daughter, Lainey.
Kelly (Faucher) Gilmartin is also class of 1994. Kudos to Kevin for recognizing that time spent with wife and daughter is much more important than time spent on business travel. Thanks to Diana Davis’s ’07 handy math trick, we know that Lainey (born in the spring of 2004) will be class of 2025, unless she skips a grade so that she can be on her parent’s reunion cycle.

Hmmm, I think I got that math trick wrong. I think in general you should add 22, and if the child was born at the end of the year or if the parents want them to enter kindergarten a year late or what have you, then add 23. While people are usually 21 going into their senior year of college, they usually turn 22 in the year they graduate, I think. Is this the one you use, Dave?

Professor Garrity will not be pleased when I complain that the math majors at Williams can’t add anymore . . .
Perhaps we really do need anchor housing!

Actually, the purpose of my trick is not to determine the graduation year of a given child, although being born in 1966 I agree with your new math above. My trick is more aimed more at the, uh, start of the process.
So, should the Gilmartin’s be interested in a reunion-linked baby they should do the Eph-baby-making-thing during calendar year 2006 or 2011. In other words, the rule is: Make your baby in a year that is 2 or 7 years away from your own graduation year. But beware that December conceptions, depending on school year starts, gestational periods and other arcana, may lead to trouble.

This is really starting to frighten me, Kane.
