Among the many hats they wear at The Pennington School, being Pennington grandparents of two wonderful students is perhaps the one of which Marian and Ken Disken GP’26 ’27 are most proud of. They are generous leadership donors to the Pennington Fund (members of the 1838 Society) and dedicated volunteers, serving as the Grandparent Chairs for the Pennington Fund Committee.
