Millie Tompkins Gervais ‘00
I love spending time outdoors with my family. We enjoy summer time on the boat or at our cottage. I am an avid runner and love watching our kids play sports and grow daily. Both our boys attend Liggett and we couldn’t be happier to be roaming the halls again.

I live in GP with my wife (who I met at Liggett) and two children. I met some of my best friends through Liggett, and have been able to stay close to the community in various ways. I volunteered on the ULS Alumni Board for a few years, play soccer with a handful of Liggett teachers regularly, and work at the Liggett Day Camp in the summer.
