10 Radnor High School Grads Inducted Into Hall Of Fame

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA – Ten Radnor High School graduates who made waves in and out of school were recently inducted into the school's hall of fame.

Radnor High School held its Hall of Fame Induction Weekend Nov. 9 and Nov. 10.

The weekend featured outstanding graduates coming back to the halls of their alma mater to teach "Master Classes" and be introduced to current RHS students during an all-school assembly on Nov. 9.

The seventh Hall of Fame class was then formally inducted during a banquet luncheon at St. David's Golf Club on Nov. 10.

News reporter David (Breimhurst) Henry, scientist Dr. Sherret Chase, film producer Alex Garcia, athlete Pixie Hamilton, federal judge Robert Kelly, Rear Admiral Christopher Mossey and athlete Katie Samson returned to RHS to teach "Master Classes" to select students, where they shared memories of their time as Raiders, experiences in their chosen field, and lessons they've learned since leaving RHS.

"The goal is for [the students] to walk away with a golden nugget," Hamilton, a retired engineer and former U.S. lacrosse star, Class of 1975 said of the master classes. "Something that will change them as a person."

After the 30-minute sessions, RHS teacher and alumnus Paul Wright ('87) hosted an all-school assembly in the school's gymnasium. Before introducing each of this year's inductees, Wright shared an important message with the current Radnor student body.

"All of [these inductees] sat where you are today," Wright said. "Which means all of you could be sitting where they are."

One-by-one, the current students heard of the impressive accomplishments of this year's 10 inductees, including 30 years with 6ABC's Action News, paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Executive Producer credit on the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters; and more.

The full list of inductees is:

• news reporter David H. Breimhurst, Class of 1970;
• artist Charles Cajori, Class of 1939;
• scientist Sherret S. Chase, Ph.D., Class of 1935;
• filmmaker and producer Alejandro J. "Alex" Garcia, Class of 1995;
• educator and community activist Charles C. Gray, Jr., Class of 1961;
