Hopkins Grammar School
The Class of 1965
| In 2005, after looking back over the opportunities that HGS
had opened up to a kid from Fair Haven, Dr. John Mordes and his parents
thought it would be a good thing to try to help others have a similar
chance.
To that end, he has established a scholarship fund in the name of his parents. Click here to see the School's announcement of the John P. Mordes, Sr. and Elizabeth Conway Mordes Scholarship Fund to benefit scholarship and financial aid at Hopkins. On December 1, 2005, the school hosted a luncheon in their honor. Both were 88 at the time. It was a moving event for the family. Here are a few pictures. |

John, Sr. and John, Jr. Dad likes to tell the story that he heard about HGS but didn't know how to go about having his son apply. So he drove me there one day, parked, and asked the first person he saw how to do it. That person was F. Allen Sherk.... |
