The fires are awful and continue. I am looking out the window and can’t see the Bay for the smoke. One daughter lost her cabin in Big Sur and her daughter escaped in the middle of the night and is now quarantined at Oxford for a PhD in refugees. I am pretending to do architecture […]

My book was published June 30, 2020, from Princeton Architectural Press: The New Farm: Contemporary Rural Architecture, with an introduction by Abby Rockefeller. It’s about how recent generations of farmers around the globe have reinvented the family farm and its traditions, embracing organic practices and sustainability and, along with them, a bold new use of […]

Therese and I are in Croatia for the week. Our daughter Mia spent several days along the Dalmatian coast 5 years ago and raved about it: (lots of history, beautiful architecture, the Adriatic Sea, outstanding sea food and affordable – but that was before Game of Thrones. She said “a must see.” So we’re doing […]
Sam Wright ’48 and CdeP 1948
A nice note from Charlton Lewis saying he was happy to read our class notes in the latest Thacher magazine about our 70th reunion, saying it was a little too far for him. Charlton and Roxane are living in a community in Redding Connecticut, outside of Stamford, conveniently located, he says, about an hour from […]

The two photos are of […]

One doctor, one film maker, one Fulbright scholar in Turkey, and one making very good Keenan wine, while in Brooklyn I have two high school boys and their mom […]
Roger Ignon ’62
Roger and Jackie Ignon have just completed a new house in Redondo Beach, CA. With a stunning view of the Pacific, it is a spectacular example of au courant modern design – reflecting Landscape Architect Jackie’s practiced and superb command of the vernacular. Roger is trying, with limited success, to retire from Edge Systems, the […]

Is it me, or are others finding the Thacher network is becoming more prominent? The older I get, the tighter the orbits become – you know, the degrees of separation seem closer. I think Thacher has reached a kind of critical mass now. For instance, I moved to Grand Rapids 2 years ago, and was […]
