My Dear friend,

This is to wish you A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. My family still speaks of the unforgettable graduation dinner you hosted for my daughter Njambi Wagacha at Clark University. Many happy returns.

While caring for my 97 year old dad in California, I am enjoying retirement. STEM activities at the local history museum are keeping me connected with the young at heart. Still working on over due manuscripts keeps my brain active. With collaborators at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center we are focusing on well-being of social ungulates.

I was deeply honored to receive France’s highest award, the Legion of Honor, this past spring in recognition of my career in French Education, 30 years teaching at the Lycée Français de New York, and now more than 10 years now with the French Heritage Language Program, serving Francophone immigrants in the United States. Other French-American work includes service over the past 6 years as a Trustee of the American University of Paris, where I have worked with fellow Swarthmore alumni Trustees, Gretchen Handwerger (‘56) and Gil Kemp (‘72.) We will soon be joined by Marcia Grant (‘62) who will serve as AUP’s interim Provost for the coming academic year.
