the lovely luncheon and found out his father and Penny’s father were best friends. If anyone does come to Albuquerque, they should stay at Los Poblanos Inn and Farms. It is absolutely beautiful and they grow a lot of the food they serve. Byrd Fuertes Teague ’62 came to Santa Fe and I had lunch with her. We had a great time together. Byrd is one of Chicha’s oldest friends. We had a very busy and delightful summer, and saw a lot of friends including Pam Harris Busbee ’69. Linda Aland writes, “I am happy to advise that in May 2013, I received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in Christian Education. My dissertation was ‘An Evaluation of Participation in a Short-Term Mission Trip and Involvement in Church Ministry.’ I continue to practice civil trial and family law in Dallas, and go on many short-term mission trips both locally and abroad. I traveled in August to Tanzania for a fourth time to teach at a Women’s Conference in Dar es Salaam. Also in May, my daughter, Amanda Aland ’00, received a Ph.D. from SMU in Anthropology (Archaeology). She is teaching as an adjunct professor at SMU, writing articles, and applying for postdoctoral fellowships. Amanda graduated from USC as a Spanish major and focuses her work on the Chimú and Inka civilizations on the north coast of Perú. She spent two
years living there doing excavation and analysis, and received both Fulbright and NSF grants. My eldest son, Alex, is the manager of food and beverage operations at Hotel ZaZa in Dallas. He trained in Maui with my sister, Beverly Shanbaum Gannon ’67, then helped open Fearing’s in Dallas and spent some years there before moving to Hotel ZaZa in Houston. Alex has a degree in hotel and restaurant management from the University of Alabama. My youngest son, Zachery, has a similar degree from the University of Arkansas, and continues to try and find his place in the world. I have reconnected in Dallas with Dale Silver Rabinowitz, who has a flourishing cosmetic dental practice and manages to make time for lunch or dinner with me often. She is lovely, talented, and involved in political and charitable causes. It was great to run into her and has been interesting spending time with her so many years after Hockaday. My sister and I are traveling in October for three weeks to Burma – our first sisters’ trip in about 20 years.”

Hello, dear Class of 1966! It was so good to hear from many of you. It seems our class continues to live very active and full lives. It is very hard for me to believe that we are old enough to retire, have grandchildren graduating from high school or college, or even getting married! I do not know where all the time has gone. I had numerous emails returned to me because of incorrect addresses, so please let me know if you know of anyone in our class not receiving emails from me. I really need to update our class list! On to the news! Steffi O’Brien Yearwood writes, “John and I are retired from our professorships at Lamar U., have moved to Austin, and are enjoying retirement. Our new address is 4453 Stony Meadow Lane, Austin, Texas 78731, and our emails remain unchanged. We kept our place in Woodville and get to East Texas often.” Lynn McEntire Vogt writes, “In May, I was in Boston for my granddaughter Samantha’s high school graduation. She’s been recruited for the women’s soccer team at West Point, thus I hope to make frequent trips to cheer her on!” Toni Mosesman Monnin writes, “Here is the update for the Monnin family. I have pretty much retired from the gallery after 35 years! My daughters, Gael and Pascale, who have been in the gallery for over 10 years, have taken over. Gael works from New York and D.C., and Pascale is here in Haiti. Pascale will have her second daughter in a couple of weeks. My son, Michel, who just graduated from college in December, has his first job and it’s a great one. He is the deputy program manager for a big reforestation and planting project for our local beer company that was just bought out by Heineken. My husband, Michel, is still very active in our reforestation foundation, Fondam, in the south of Haiti, and of course I still help out with the civic education program for 12 different schools in the
