Wife, Katherine, and I have been sheltering in place in San Francisco (and Bolinas) since March and complying meticulously with Covid-19 protocols. But come 4th of July we couldn’t resist our traditional adventure to camp and hike in a particularly wild, rugged and isolated part of the Big Sur area to which we have special […]

Charlton Lewis ’48
I was deeply saddened by the recent death of our classmate Bud Lester. Bud and I roomed together on the third floor of the Upper School. We were both on the gymkhana team. We camped together on extra day trips in the Sespe. And much else. Bud may have been the most popular guy in […]
Katie Kirkmire Vining ’94
I had the wonderful experience of sharing a weekend in New York City and attending fellow classmate and dear friend Kenyon Phillips’s variety show at Joe’s Pub. Dubbed Unisex Salon with Kenyon Phillips, the show featured talented singers, dancers, actors and comedians, and a guest performance by my five year old son, Mitch “Bird” Vining. […]

Jordan Gudebski ’90
Just in time for our 25th Reunion, the Gudebski family expanded from Jasmin and Jordan and 8-yr-old Elias to include baby girl Aliya. Unbelievable miracle, and with her twinkly eyes and impish giggles she seems to know it. We live in the SF East Bay and can’t wait to catch up with old friends at […]

We would have loved to have been at the reunion but Orene and I are not traveling any more as we are both considerably slowed down. On January 2nd of this year we moved into a retirement community here in Cincinnati. All of this happened at just the right time as Orene came down with […]
Tracey Stevenson Garrett ’80
Daughters, Toads and Strawberries! Sounds like a unique combination or rather a saucy title to a novel, right?!! But no, it was just our 3rd annual summer camp out in the Strawberry mtns of Oregon! Four Toads, their daughters and their dogs made up the camp, but don’t forget good food and libation to boot! […]
