Kirk Kirkham ’50

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 […]

John Wright ’70

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 […]

Mia (CdeP 2014) started architecture at University of Michigan and is going through withdrawals from Southern California weather […]

Julie Huntington de Polo ’86

Dan and I returned to some broken glass, but nothing significant except […]

Adam Geyer ’89

The run took us through breathtaking terrain, ranging from tropical beaches to red rock canyons, vast rice patty fields to rural African villages. It was physically challenging but I felt good through most of the race and I definitely drew […]
