Unsoelds

Here are a couple of pictures Jolene Unsoeld sent me a couple of years ago. There's one of her with Regon and Krag, and one of her with Terres (I think she said it was in Switzerland).

Treasure Lake Reunion - At the Restaurant

Here is a not-so-great shot of Cathy and Nancy surrendering to a prolonged fit of hysterics during our dinner at Luigi's. It was a wonderful climax to our great weekend!

Treasure Lake Reunion - The Cake

Randa had this cake made for us, with the 1962 Lincoln School class photo "magically" transformed into icing! Everybody present who was in the photo wanted the slice with "them" in it! (Thanks to Nancy Jaffee for these pictures.)

The California Mini-Reunions

 March 2011 at Indian restaurant in Richmond, CA

July 2012 at "Burma Superstar" restaurant in Oakland, CA

Jann Darsie, Sean Darsie (Richard's son), Leslie Jones (Richard's wife)

If you're ever in the SF Bay area you must try and go to one of the Burma Superstar restaurants (there's one in Oakland, one in SF, and one in Alameda). The food there is truly to DIE for!

1963 Everest Expedition

Since our reunion was billed as a "50th Anniversary Lincoln School Reunion," I thought you might enjoy this article on the 50th anniversary reunion of some of the American climbers.

Here are some pics from the expedition.

Peace Corps Volunteer photos

I found an interesting archive of photos taken by a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal in the 1960s-70s. It's a Flickr site, here. Lots of familiar sights, and some unfamiliar.

Treasure Lake Reunion Part 1

Well, it was an unbelievable weekend - the kind that only comes around very seldom.  Instant, deep feeling of connection even with those of us who didn't know each other there. The shared experience of living in Kathmandu as children obviously left a profound impression on all of us.

Here's the first group of pictures from the weekend.

Randa & Roger's house at Treasure Lake

Janie Crippen and Cathy Marshall

A lot of this went on this weekend.
