Greetings!

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since I enrolled at Hyde over a half-century ago. Since my four years as a student, I have spent forty more as Hyde teacher, coach, head of school, parent, and president. I am currently working on developing the Hyde Discovery Process, an on-line school culture improvement program designed to bring a little bit of Hyde to a whole lotta schools.

Daily life at Hyde promises no shortage of material for stories to tell. After telling them during my head of school days in a newsletter called Malcolm’s Monthly, I transitioned to this blog in 2009. The delivery is random in both subject matter and frequency. Over 500 posts are archived in the categories listed below.

TFC* & Onward, Malcolm Gauld ‘72

* The Fun Continues!
