Cynthia and Murray are an integral part of KUA lore. We can't think of a more appropriate commemoration of them and all that they have done for KUA, its faculty/staff, students, and constituents.

Gardens full of purple flowers, a purple garden hose, and multi-colored holiday porch lights would all be in order. We're on it!
Brian & Amy Bava and Family
We can not think of a better way to honor two icons of Kimball Union Academy. We learned so much from both Cynthia and Murray during our time at KUA, and we continued to learn from them even after we left in 2005. We miss Cynthia dearly and we are humbled to be able to assist in honoring her, Murray, and the extended Howe-Dewdney family by contributing to this lasting legacy honoring their commitment to the Kimball Union Academy community for so many years.

Cynthia and Murray's incredible contribution was huge, to the well-being of my two daughters, Hannah and Faith Larsen, and to the school full of students who benefited in so many ways through dorm life, sports, learning supports, college counseling, and so much more. They were the best there is! JH

Karen, Nathaniel, Nick, and I came to KUA in 1994 because Cynthia and Murray were here. We stayed, in large part, because they did.

I can't think of anyone else more worthy of this honor than Murray and Cynthia. They exemplify all the goodness that is Kimball Union. Their dedication to their students was one of a kind, and I know that I am merely one of the many who were blessed to have benefited from their time on The Hilltop and beyond. Words can't express my gratitude for their love, wisdom, and support over the years!

This is a perfect honor for two amazing educators. Cynthia and Murray represent the heart and soul of KUA: dedicated, generous, brilliant and kind. Everyone they touch is special and I feel blessed to have worked with them for 26 years.

No two people on this entire earth are more deserving of this honor than Ms. Howe and Mr. Dewdney. There are countless bits of wisdom and advice that I carry with me every single day from them. I truly would not be the person I am today without having both of them help shape me in some of my most formative years.

The recently named Howe-Dewdney hall was our first KUA home as a married couple. To see the names that are now attached to it 58 years later means more than words can say. Please join us in recognizing them. Joan and Bish

I miss Cynthia and Murray every day. Cynthia was one of the first people I met over ten years ago when I interviewed, and we shared many academic background experiences. I worked with both Cynthia and Murray on the Academic Council and throughout the years. Even though I'm about to retire, I value and so appreciate everything they taught me about teaching, learning, and compassion.
