In 2013, during Williston Northampton’s inaugural Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Robert Couch ’50 took the stage to help induct legendary football coach and Athletic Director Rick Francis, and quipped during his remarks that “my chance of being here in the future for any other reason is more than remote.” But here we are. For more than 60 years, Bob Couch impacted Williston in many ways—in the classroom, in the photography lab, and with our athletic programs. Over the years, “Couchie” coached football, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, golf, and tennis. He also did the filming of the football game—back when actual film was being used to capture them. When you walk through the hallway Sabina Cain Family Athletic Center, you see walls covered by team pictures from the beginning of the School’s athletic program in 1870 to the present day—Couchie is responsible for printing and framing all of those photos. He didn’t actually take the ones in the 1800’s, but when those photos were removed from the old gym, now the Reed Campus Center, he reproduced each one of them and made them a standard size to be hung in the Athletic Center. He did take all the team pictures from his early days at Williston and into his retirement years. For over 60 years, we’ve felt his impact here at Williston Northampton, both behind the lens and in front of it, and for that, he has earned induction as a special selection for our Hall of Fame.
