Vera (McGovern) and David Flight ‘51

David Flight came to Willimantic after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and from a graduate program at Yale University. He arrived in the spring 1951 semester and trained with Sarah Drayton in the model school. At a Friday seminar of early childhood majors he met Vera McGovern, who was reporting her experiences while training off campus. She chased him until he caught her and in August 2014 they celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary with their three children and three grandchildren at EastView, a retirement community in Middlebury, VT.
