In my recently published book “Jottings of a Geriatric Judge” I acknowledged Jack Huyler:“The late John S. (Jack) Huyler, M.A., teacher, writer, diarist, horse whisperer and friend, at the Thacher School, Ojai, California, for recommending me to jot.”He did just that. And my treasured copy of his “The Stamp of the School” was exactly that […]

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 […]

My passion for languages, first sparked when I move to Switzerland in 2005, continues to grow, and since retiring I have more time to study, though the days go by amazingly quickly. Lately I’ve been referring again to the Latin dictionary that I used while at Thacher. That it has survived 50 years and is […]

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

I started graduate school at the University of Southern California’s Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work and am loving the program, even if I am twice as old as most of my classmates.

They have chronicled our careers, weddings, births, […]

I finally closed my business this year, realizing no one wants to hire a 76 year old dud. Now we will start doing the things for which we moved to Idaho 20 years ago—the great outdoors. Chas Bonner CdeP 1960

Sandy and I are ecstatic with the arrival of our first grandchild, Phoebe Sternberg (daughter of Claire Faggioli CdeP 2002 and Daniel Sternberg). We were recently fortunate to spend time in Hawaii with our son and daughter-in-law, Nathaniel CdeP 2000 and Stacie. Clay Pell CdeP 2000 also joined us for a few days. I am […]

Kate (EW ’76) and I still loving living in New England, and this summer will mark 16 years since we’ve lived here (longest I’ve ever lived in one place). Our younger daughter has been in Central America for the past four years and married her Guatemalan love last November. The ceremony was held in some […]

Tom and family are settling back into the Bay Area after moving back from Texas in August. Karen Hale, mother of Julia CdeP ’21, spent the last six months creating two nests – one in Hillsborough and one in Ojai! Going through old photos, she found this photo of Julia at her first Thacher alumni […]
