It was wonderful to see fellow classmates Carolyn Reed Kirkpatrick, Tom Hale and Mike Kim at Winter Alumni Day. Mike was teaching for the trimester at Thacher as an Anacapa Scholar and it was great to meet his wife Yujin from South Korea. Carolyn is doing an amazing job along with her team as the […]

Tom Hale ’86
Like everyone one else, I’ve found myself at home with my kids and spending more time on Zoom. While Zoom is no substitute for in person connections, I’ve really enjoyed reconnecting with lots of people from years past, in particular, the memorable filmmakers of Tri-Snake Productions – Mike Kim, John Redfern, and Dave Richardson, all […]

Trav Newton ’68
Dan McGilvray and Trav Newton rode the Huntington Trail last January on Alum Day through rain squalls, snow on the ridge, and a rainbow over the valley. In memory of nurse Betty Saunders, they ask classmates who took photos of ’68 who visited her at her home last June to please send images to us, […]

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 […]

Then, you have to decide on Proton Beam Therapy at Loma Linda University Hospital. Then, you have to get half naked in a dressing room before your […]
Winfield Han ’91
On March 11, 2016, my wife Vivian and I welcomed our daughter, Madelyn Sue-Kyo Han, into the world. She’s pretty cute despite being cursed with my looks instead of my wife’s. We recently brushed aside any concern for safety to get a pretty kick-ass Instagram photo of Maddie on a horse, wearing a Thacher T-shirt, […]
Wynne Huang ’91
During Reunion, in June, Wynne got engaged! On a horse! It was Buck’s first time riding a horse (and visiting the School). Knowing Thacher was a special place to Wynne, Buck revealed the ring while mounted on their steeds at the barns and asked Wynne to marry him. She said, “Yes!” Wynne Huang CdeP 1991
Sarah O’Brien ’86
Life is wonderful in Santa Barbara for my family. We attended Winter Alumni Day and my sons Pierce (7) and Ronan (6) enjoyed an adventurous ride in the rain up horn canyon, led by Colly Smith (2016). My husband Aaron participated in the trap shoot with several alumni from the 80s. We recently had lunch […]

Greetings classmates! I am so excited that Mia (age 7) and I got to visit Thacher this March, while we were in CA for Spring Break. We saw Mully and Joy, Jake Jacobsen, Ms. & Mr. Vickery, & Kurt Meyer. We ate a scrumptious lunch in the dining hall, complete with soft serve and POG. […]
