During the six years prior to his appointment at Suffield, he taught and coached at the Kingswood School. Mr. Seaverns is a trustee of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, the Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall and the Children's Museum of Hartford and belongs to the Rotary Club, the Hartford Club, and the Anglers Club of New York.
