Tom L’Esperance ’55 passed on the following from Peter Esty ’55: “After trying a few times, I finally retired from heading schools on July 1. At the same time I rolled off a couple of time-consuming boards. The freedom and the new pace has been predictably glorious. In celebration, I went to REI, purchased a new, light-weight, two-person tent and Happy and I headed into the woods: first in the Northern California redwoods, and later near Tahoe in the Sierras. The wind in the pines and their fragrance triggered the bliss and restoration we sought. So much so that we are heading back to camp at Fallen Leaf Lake (Sierras) for a few days next summer with our three kids (Boston, Seattle, and SF Bay Area) and 5 grandkids to celebrate my 75th birthday and our 50th anniversary. Our lives here in Sausalito are sweet too. Best to you all.”
