You won't find her name listed on the staff directory. You are hard pressed to find her name at all on the website. It's not spelled out what she does. And her office is tucked away in a corner up on the second floor. She must be just another harmless cog in the dusty machinery of yet another little school. But if you look hard enough, you can see her fingerprints everywhere. From the ubiquitous mention in every missive from school, be it be for a reunion or a fundraiser. From the low level adulation directed her way in every speech and announcement of school news. She's at the Old Boys reunion in California. That's her to the left of the podium at the Old Boys dinner. There she is at the door, every name of every guest laid out before her. When you go to visit, she's the first to pop up out of nowhere to say hello. And then she disappears because "she has so much work". A quick tour of the school later, and Stuart Johnson just happens to say hello, fondly recalling humorous anecdotes about you from 20 years ago. Things your own mother had long forgotten. She's everywhere, and yet she's nowhere to be found, a shadow always hiding in the background. Millions flow through the annual fund raising drives, the capital improvement projects, the annual reunions; millions that are quietly controlled behind the scenes. Quietly. All Hail the All Powerful Virginia Tracy, Head of School Development!
