I am half way through a two-year training program at Town School for Boys, in San Francisco, California. I am learning a lot; second grade boys are […]

I joined CdeP 1981 classmates Dianna Marguleas Dar, Marci Dabbs, Leila Hemaidan, Carolyn Chandler, and Criss Leydecker Troast in Santa Barbara for a fun weekend celebrating shared memories of our years at Thacher. What a joy it was to spend time with life-long friends. Also, I retired in April. Today’s Veterinary Business article Carol McConnell […]

I just re-connected with Diana Lewis Callahan CdeP 1984. I have such fond memories of Diana when she was a freshman and I was a senior prefect in Casa dorm (circa 1980-81). O-so-many years ago, but the memories are like it all happened yesterday. Congrats to Diana and her husband Liam (also CdeP grad) on […]

I got to hang out with fellow CdeP 1981 members Mariana Schwartz Smith, Marci Dabbs, Dianna Marguleas, Owen Bly and Alex Calhoun while listening to our classmate Glen Gold read from his new book in the same room that has seen the likes of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krassner, Timothy Leary and Jack Kerouac. Pretty cool. Peter Dunne CdeP 1981

Keeping Alumni informed about this kind of information is […]

Knopf published my memoir I WILL BE COMPLETE. There’s a Thacher component. Thacher has saved a lot of kids; it saved me. Here’s the hype I should be ashamed of, but secretly embrace: www.glendavidgold.com Buy it from your newly-revitalized local independent bookstore. www.indiebound.org/book/9781101946398 Glen Gold CdeP 1981

I live in Santa Barbara because I fell in love with this area when at Thacher. Because I live here I have been lucky to crosshatch with both Mary Everett Bourke and Mariana Schwartz who both have kids here. It’s better than school because we’re adults now… I send best wishes to all who survived […]

Had a blast with my family (including Katie Ballou ’83) at Golden Trout. Cam Spaulding ’92 and company did a great job supporting our adventures! Photo One has Katie, Cam, Walker and Natalie Calhoun charging Langley. Photo Two is what it is all about. Alex Calhoun CdeP 1981

After 6 long years, I graduated from seminary and was ordained an Episcopal priest in 2015. Who’d have thunk? My time is now spent with Braid Mission in SF, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Belvedere, and the board of the Marin Interfaith Council. I couldn’t have done it without the support of Butch and the […]
