Reuben Haller ’74

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 […]

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.

Nationwide distribution and lots of buzz have kept me busy on the work front while […]

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 […]

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 […]
