John Fentress Gardner
American author and educator
John Fentress Gardner (1912–1998) was an American author and educator.
He wrote about education, spiritualism, and anthroposophy. He was the longtime headmaster of what is now called The Waldorf School of Garden City.
During his tenure as headmaster, the school was called "The Demonstration School of Adelphi College" and then the "Waldorf School of Garden City". The school is based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, a European proponent of alternative education, clairvoyance and mysticism.
He was married to Carol Hemingway Gardner, who was Ernest Hemingway's youngest sister.[1]
