It was great to “see” everyone during our class “Zoom union.” The last few months have been spent re tooling myself for teaching French online. I’m truly hoping we can find a way to function with kids in school without seeing Covid-19 surges. Very grateful to be able to head outdoors and spend time in […]

I had a great time visiting David Griffith at his beautiful house. I got to work with Jen de Forest in a professional capacity, after running into her at a conference last year. I really enjoyed our class’ virtual reunion and all the spin-off connections with classmates that have grown out of it. My son […]

Greetings fellow Toads. In these uncertain times, I hope everyone is doing as well as possible and staying healthy. We are doing fine and while my wife works in healthcare, we’ve avoided any direct impacts so far. I’m still living in Sacramento after 17 years. I continue to work for The Nature Conservancy, now leading […]

This school year, I got to experience dropping my son off to start his freshman year at Thacher as well as not sending him back after spring break due to the shelter-in-place restrictions. It is a shame that he’ll miss part of the experience because he loves it there. During parents weekend and winter alumni […]

I’m vicariously enjoying Thacher via my son, Javier, who just began his freshman year. His advisor, Liz Mahoney (CdeP 1988), reports that he seems to be thriving. With my daughter being a junior at RLS and starting to look at colleges, home is feeling very quiet this fall. We now have plenty of room for […]

I’m excited to become a Thacher parent as my son, Javier, will be a freshman this fall. He’s looking forward to everything he’s seen and heard, but mostly he wants to play lacrosse for the toads. My daughter is currently a sophomore at RLS. She plays on the varsity girls lacrosse team on the same […]

Super excited to have my daughter, Lia, become a freshman toad this year at Thacher. Such an exciting time with Blossom Beatty Pidduck ’92 as the new Head. Also enjoyed a great dinner in NYC with Sophie Brown Twichell ’85 this summer. Christina Chiu Alfandary CdeP 1985

Greetings from Bozeman, MT! It’s been a busy year for me as I start to ramp up a new business building and repairing guitars, mandolins and ukes. A shameless plug for Mountain Whimsy Guitars (www.mwcustomguitars.com). I’m still making maps and doing GIS analysis, mostly associated with rivers and streams. During a fabulous early fall camping […]
