lunch at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu in December 2012. We coincided when Jinnet returned from the Peace Corps in Tonga (two years); Tonia was in residence, and I was vacationing. Great to catch up. Back in Anchorage, I noticed the name Raissa D’Antonio in the paper, called to ask if she is related to former faculty member Bill D’Antonio (and wife Lorraine). Yes! Bill and Lorraine are retired from Notre Dame and live in Storrs, Conn. Raissa did not live at Loomis, as she was born in Illinois.” Eugene Saenger writes: “Huge Lake Michigan storm last September — both boats damaged. The ’46 Chris Craft sank! Good news: Both will be in tip-top shape this summer — just like me!”

his 10-day visit on horseback in 1883 to the then-still new Yellowstone National Park, describing for the first time for a European audience the wonders of the geysers, waterfalls, lake, and canyons of the world’s first national park. Leclercq’s account has been called a “literary Ansel Adams” by Peter Schulman, translator, author, and professor at Old Dominion University. Although a sensation in Europe, Leclercq’s book was never published in English until now. Suzanne writes: “I give grateful thanks for my ability in French to my Chaffee teachers, especially Anne Sbarge.”
From Don Hooper: “I had supper in Boston with Bogs (Ronald Bogdasarian) recently. He was attending a medical conference and looks as fit, smart, and thoughtful as ever. I continue to work for The National Wildlife Federation, trying to save the planet from ourselves; I guess I’ll always have a job! Our Vermont Creamery Goat Cheese, after 30 years, is pretty edible. Ask for it at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s … See you at our 50th in 2014. Come visit us in Vermont.” Susan G. Rogers writes: “Enjoyed a ‘reunion’ with Jinnet Fowles ’65 and Tonia Fasi over
Haynes Johnson keeps busy building trails, canoe and kayak access points, and other projects on public lands in the North Georgia mountains. Alex Zautra and his wife, Eva, recently returned from a two-week trip to Uganda as part of their philanthropic work to develop, test, and distribute online programs in social intelligence.
