John Hover ’61 P’91

John Hover ’61 P’91, a former private banker, and his wife Jacqueline are knowledgeable world travelers. Through the years, they have witnessed firsthand the ongoing timelines of civilization and of nature. Recently, following a trek to the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska, John observed that the glacier, like The Lawrenceville School, is always carving new paths. This sense of time and progress has led John and Jaqui to create charitable remainder trusts at both John’s college alma mater and at Lawrenceville. These gifts have provided the Hovers with current tax benefits and an income stream for their lives. When they are both gone, the remainders of the trusts will pass to the institutions the Hover family holds dear, enabling them, like the glacier, to continue carving new paths.

“I came to Lawrenceville in 1957 as a young boy and graduated in 1961 as an aspiring young man. Lawrenceville and its amazing masters made that happen. My wife’s and my goal, with every gift we make to Lawrenceville, is to help sustain its legendary faculty for current and future generations of students.” —John Hover
