My whole profession (variety entertainment) basically disappeared on March 14 of this year. For me personally this was somewhat of a blessing as it enabled me to stay home, rather than run from gig to gig. This enabled me to concentrate on making art and to create a website for this work (reubenhaller.com). I do […]

Tom Hale ’86
Preparing for another awesome Thacher Rocket Launch at parent’s weekend is keeping the whole Hale family busy this month. We’re so excited to head to the Gymkhana field early sunday AM to launch some 5′ rockets into the morning sky. Between building, painting, and organizing Karen, Ivy, Anna, and Tom (1986) are keeping very busy […]
Jim Griffith ’53
A busy year. “Saints, Statues, and Stories: A Folklorist Looks at The Religious Art of Sonora” was published by the University of Arizona Press, and October 11-13 will see the 45th year of Tucson Meet Yourself, the regional folklife festival that Loma and I founded. It’s free—Y’all come! Jim Griffith CdeP 1953
Brad Macneil ’68
Fabulous being at Casa Piedra for our 50th reunion in June and seeing my “old” class mates! Still busy at the Pasadena Museum of History. Welcome any visits by Toads who happen to be in the area. Brad Macneil CdeP 1968
Tony Thatcher ’85
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 […]
Jennifer Utman Sommer ’90
So much going on with life here in Pacific Palisades. Having spent nearly a couple of decades with Food & Wine magazine, I recently transitioned into my second career as a granola baker with my line of Sommer House granola. Nationwide distribution and lots of buzz have kept me busy on the work front while […]
Rebekah McFarland ’05
Lots of changes this year! I am busy but happy working as an archivist for the Sisters of the Living Word in Arlington Heights, IL; volunteering regularly as a book conservation assistant at Chicago’s Newberry Library; running my own bookbinding business, McFarland Book Repair; and making journals for my relatively new Etsy shop, LyranJournals. On […]
Sam Lino ’07
I joined the International Cinematographers Guild early this year and jumped right into production on my first TV show as the loader. Now we’re into production on the season one finale of “Chance,” a new Hulu show starring Hugh Laurie. I’ll finally have time to hang out again in mid October when we wrap! Sam […]
Camillia Joy ’93
Still in the Boston area, happy, healthy and busy! Just started coaching my daughter’s 2nd grade soccer team – decided to pass on Coach “Rags” and went with Coach “Joy”. Always nice to see fellow Toads in the area, hope to catch up with some soon! Camillia Joy CdeP 1993
Kris Zierhut ’90
It’s been a busy year for my connections to Thacher. I met up with the class of ’91 at their 25th reunion this past summer, and saw some faces I hadn’t seen since I graduated. My daughter Elanor’s academic advisor this year is another Thacher graduate, Nick Tranmer (’92). And a steady stream of more […]
