Cardigan Mountain School | Cardigan's 2024 Commencement - Address by Edilberto Ramos H’06, P’91,’97 @CardiganMtnSchl | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 minutes ago.
Cardigan's 2024 Commencement speaker, Mr. Edilberto “Eddie” Ramos H’06, P’91,’97, was a young math teacher when he and his wife Fe moved into Brewster II during the summer of 1974. In his 50 years at Cardigan, Mr. Ramos chaired the Math Department, helped to introduce the use of computers into the math curriculum, advised the Math Club, coached basketball, Nordic skiing, and tennis, founded and advised the Bowling Club with Wim Hart H’08 (for more than 20 years!), officiated soccer, taught at Summer Session, and was the first dorm parent for future Head of School Dave McCusker ’80, P’09,’10.
Mr. Ramos framed his remarks through the lens of an old Arabian proverb: “Four things never return: the spoken word, the spent arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.” Sharing his own journey to Cardigan as a backdrop, Mr. Ramos urged the Class of 2024 to realize that it is time for them to set or elevate their aspirations.
