Our sincere condolences to Peter Venter, whose brother, Josiah (Josh) Venter ’59, died Oct. 2, 2011. Eliza Twichell writes, “Moved to Santa Fe this fall — time for a change! Wonderful music, art, culture, food! Feels like a foreign land. Worth a visit if you’ve never been. The last 10 years I’ve been closely associated with Hospice (back East) and hope to continue here.” Grace Hammond Boss reports, “I am still working on completing Sanctuary, a building on my farm in Hill (NH). Soon I travel to Cuba with a group focusing on the art and architecture of Cuba. Photography is my favorite hobby. Many interests — especially my two children — one a freshman in college, the other a sophomore in high school. God is faithful; it has been a year of many challenges.
