Dear Alumni, Friends, and Supporters,

On the behalf of the executive board, I would like to wish you and your family all the best for a prosperous New Year. We thank you for your support of our biennial reunion in July 2018 and we encourage you to continue your support for CAAAI. Our success is credited to your generosity and your willingness to support us in our endeavors.

At the 2010 Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International (CAAAI) reunion celebration in Brooklyn NY, Dr. Frank Douglas was a recipient of the prestigious Robert A. Pinkerton’s award for Humanitarian Services. We all listened attentively to his acceptance speech as he told his story of how he mastered the German language. I was intrigued not by ‘how’, but more so by the tenacity of ‘why’. Dr. Douglas explained further that the feeling of imperiousness and arrogance that oftentimes accompany so called superior languages, required the dismissal of the barrier that supported that form of disparity - he decided to learn and master the entire German language, and he did.

Barbara Ann DeFlorimonte, departed this life on Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at Laurel Regional Hospital, Maryland. She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Franklin DeFlorimonte; son, Jerrod Shaw; grandsons Jerrod Jr., Jonathan and Jeremiah; brothers, Charles Kelley, Jr. and Jerry Kelley; sister Bertha Kelley; seven nieces, five nephews, six great-nieces, 3 great-nephews and a host of family and friends.

We the Executive Board and Members of the Cambridge Academy Alumni Association International (CAAAI) are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Ovid London, beloved father of our association’s Chief Executive Office, Dr. Trevin London. We pray with the assurance that Ovid London has gone on to receive the glory promised by our Almighty God to all His children; and that Jehovah will provide peace, love, and strength to the London family at this time.
