EC Choir Tour__NYC

Hi everyone,

Anyone in the NY area probably already got an email from me begging for housing for the upcoming EC Choir Tour, but just in case...The choir comes to NY on Monday January 7th and we're still in need of some beds/aerobeds/couches--pullout or otherwise. If you're up for it, just let me know, either here or via email (jane.codding@mindspring.com). Thanks all.

Creative names needed

Hi Folks!

I'm working on a fun- Earlhamesque type project - I'm building an office in my back yard. (I live with 3 men and 4 dogs and work from home when I'm in the US. My retired father lives with us. My office is now his bedroom, my bedroom my office, and so I am building this thing with my bare hands.) I am trying to be as green as possible with my building, which is a really serious challenge and one I'm finding both fascinating and overwhelming at times.

When I started the project (on the office space in the yard) I started a blog to keep track of it. (contrary to popular belief I'm not a total blog-o-phile I just find it's been very helpful and I've gotten some great input.)

So now, I'm sitting out here trying to think of the appropriate name for my office space. If you have any ideas or want to read up on what this project has been like - please take a gander. The blog link is http://greened-house.blogspot.com/

Your input is welcome!!

And in the meantime, I am looking forward to other folks post here!! What are you up to? Anyone in contruction who can give me some extra guidance?

Anne, thank you!! I may give you a call when I've got more travel coming up!!

Thanks again folks!!

A word from our leader

A word from our (fearless) leader...

(In full disclosure, I took the liberty of taking this letter below from Rohin summarizing the reunion-ishness from the Yahoo groups page. It's sort of a challenge to access, and harder to see photos there. etc. I'd love to see recent photos of people, their families, including pets, etc. if folks want to post them here.)

I would like to say how honored I am to be a member of your class. I am so proud of everyone's accomplishments and the difference that you are having on people's lives. I have been in the business world for the last 20 years and I see how rare the Earlham ethic of tolerance, acceptance and consensus is, and how much it is needed. My Earlham experience has helped me make hard choices and exercise tolerance and understanding in situations that paid council has told me I was "soft" and "nuts", but it has always worked out better for everyone. I believe that most higher education is missing that special extra....Earlhamness. I sometimes still have a nagging feeling that I am not doing enough to save the world, and when I get a copy of Earlhamite , a little part of me sees it as "What you have not done with your life". But, that's ok because Earlham sets a very high standard and that is what makes it great! Again I want everyone to know that no matter where or what you are doing, you are making a difference in people's lives, and the World is better because you are in it. As far as a class gift, I will follow everyone's lead and go with a scholarship fund from the class of 87. Thank you again for all of your effort and travels,and thanks to Gail,George,Anne,Joe and everyone else who helped.

Sincerely Rohin

(And who doesn't feel better after reading that? really.)

Thanks for the iniative

Fellow classmates,

Have to say I was so torn not being able to speak to more people throughout the course of the weekend. Having my kids in tow was fun, but they had to be accommodated in ways which puts a damper on my individual social life. Glad to see everyone thriving and yes, people are doing some very interesting stuff. If anyone is coming through Ann Arbor, please look us up. Our house will be torn up a bit in 2008, but we always have a bit of spirit to warm you and plenty of conversation.

Thanks to all the people who made it all possible. Also, where does one go for updated classmate information?

Photographs

Excellent photographs.  Is there a way to get prints? 

Welcome Class of 1987

Hi Everyone!!

Since Rohin has so graciously agreed to be our class chair for the next 20 years, I figure we all need to do everything we can to help him out. I think everyone who made it to the reunion last week had a great time reconnecting, and the conversations went on and on and on. Check out the Reunion photo Stacy took for us!!

After discussing it with several folks, it seems like this blog may be a good way to keep one another posted. The Earlhamite can only give us so much page space a few times a year, and this may be a way for us all to share what's going on in our lives with one another. I've invited everyone who has an e-mail address registered with Earlham to post here. Please feel free to post whatever you feel is appropriate - questions about where we all are, links to your own blogs, family photos, essays, CVs, whatever makes sense to you!!



Post as rarely or as often as you like and check in to keep up!!

and again, many thanks to Rohin!!

Very best,
Mary (Matthews)
