Last March I traveled to San Francisco to visit my brother Jon-Erik ’97. While there I spent time with Liz Roberts Dalgard and husband Cliff, who recently bought and renovated a house by Golden Gate Park.

I also saw Jocelyn Ditzel, who recently made the move to the West Coast. In June I accompanied students at the Madeira School (where I teach) on a trip to India and Bhutan. As the official photographer of the trip, I had an easy job. I was stunned by the beautiful landscape and
greenery of Bhutan and the interesting subject matter in Delhi. It was an unforgettable experience.
