L.L. Bean and Boarding School
A little trivia as boarding school and preppy icon L.L. Bean celebrates its centennial.
Name the two boarding schools that Leon Leonwood Bean attended?
Bean spent a semester each at Hebron Academy and Kents Hill School- both in his native Maine.
Bean did not graduate from either, but he did take a business course at Kents Hill which looks to have had a certain effect.
