For those near the San Diego area, or just passing through, I’d love for you to come visit either of my restaurants! I’m humbled to say that my first restaurant, Common Stock, has remained open for business every day this year, serving free meals to those experiencing economic uncertainty, while finding tremendous support from those […]

It was great to “see” everyone during our class “Zoom union.” The last few months have been spent re tooling myself for teaching French online. I’m truly hoping we can find a way to function with kids in school without seeing Covid-19 surges. Very grateful to be able to head outdoors and spend time in […]

How we spent our time in lockdown. We accepted a request from the Ojai Retreat, next to the Krotona Institute, to caretake the vacated cottages. We picked a room as compensation and we weeded, mowed, blew and cleaned for weeks. We enjoyed one of the most beautiful views of the Valley including looking up to […]

We bought property there and have spent the past three years planning and building a home and barn. It’s been a long, exciting process, and we encourage alumni to get in touch […]

With both kids now away at school – Julien CdeP ’19 at Pomona College and Lucien CdeP ’23 at Thacher – I sold my house in NY and moved into my dad’s mostly vacant house in Jackson, WY. The idea is to spend a couple of years here enjoying the outdoors, skiing, and generally working […]

First, in January, accompanied by a local guide and one porter, I trekked into a remote region of Nepal where villagers were still living in makeshift huts after the recent, devastating earthquake and hand delivered dozens of warm jackets. Later, […]

I currently work with managers and executives, from startups to large corporations, to improve individual and team performance. My husband and I still live in San Francisco and […]

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

Small family adventures this summer with my boys: bike camping, CA travel, river time, and mountain hikes… loving sharing the outdoors with people who are just getting started. Big summer bonus-seeing Juliette & her little dude Crawford! Now back to school and fully immersed in the drama and life of 7th graders as we learn […]

We hope our classmates will join us for our 50th reunion June 8-10, 2018. Some of us are planning on getting together on Wednesday June 6th, and we would appreciate input about the idea of having an outdoor barbecue on June 7th at the school. On June 8th, there is an afternoon luncheon in the […]
