We moved back to Boston from CT in March 2020 when my youngest daughters’ school, Loomis Chaffee, went online. We are enjoying living full-time for the first time in the house we purchased in 2014 when we were still based in Avignon. It’s around the corner from my sister’s place, and just a short walk […]

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, […]

Tim Bowman ’77
Bill Arnold CdeP ’77 is coming up for a visit. Sadly it’s because a dear friend of ours passed. But hoping I might get him out on a bike. Last time we almost had team heart attacks! Still the only Thacher Boys to complete a transcontinental tour whilst in school! Tim Bowman CdeP 1977
Scott MacGregor ’67
My highlight this summer was to fly from Idaho to the Bay Area to play music with my classmates Richard Lyons and Reid Dennis at Andy Kille’s Life celebration. Andy was an amazing man! Scott MacGregor CdeP 1967

John Aaron ’71
Early this summer, I was commissioned to create this tribute to the Emanuel Nine of the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. It is a memorial to the people who lost their lives when a self professed white supremacist gunned them down during their Bible Study at the Church on the evening of June 17, […]
John Carver ’53
“John Carver is going down to Ojai for Marvin Shagam’s memorial service. He also does a much better job of keeping in touch with younger/sharper/prettier alums, like Katie Ballou Calhoun ’83 and Lupe Nickell ’92, than he does his own ‘mates.” -Lee Follett ’53 John Carver CdeP 1953
