Eleanor & Robert B. Abbe ’34

A five year student at Kent, Bob enjoyed being football manager, an editor of the Kent News, a member of the Glee Club, and Kent’s chief bell ringer. He studied at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and became an engineer. Bob’s brother Walter was a member of the Class of 1935. His cousin Edward is a member of the Class of 1934. His niece Margaret is a member of the Class of 1977.

“Being a little bit selfish when it comes to making gifts, I like to ‘have my cake and eat it too.’ After considerable study, I realized I could do just that in making a gift to my Alma Mater. Where else can you give money away and get all the benefits Kent School’s Pooled High Income Fund and Charitable Gift Annuity Programs offer?

• Secure lifetime variable (Pooled Income Fund) or fixed (Gift Annuity) income to donor and spouse;
• by-pass or minimize capital gains taxes on IRS 1040 by using highly appreciated, long-term securities for gifting purposes;
• get more annual income when stock dividends are unable to keep up with growth in stock value;
• receive a substantial charitable income tax deduction on your 140 return;
  
• and MOST IMPORTANTLY provide Kent School with endowment money to enable future students to enjoy the quality education I received when I was one.
