One to go

By now you’ve probably all heard about our visit from the winds of hurricane Ike.  They blew through Ohio on Sunday the 14th of September with gusts over 78 miles per hour uprooting tree’s, making missiles out of black walnuts, peeling back the roof of my 150 year old garage, and knocking out power to almost 2million Ohio residents.  Since that time we have ambled back in to the office from our dark homes to the office where power was restored on Wednesday 9/17.  Gradually, one by one, reporting a return to modern living.  Risa and Cheri were first, then Pam, then me, yesterday was Duffy’s day, and then there is Fred.  Day 10 and still no power for Fred. You wouldn’t know it to see him, Fred, ever patient, making coffee on his grill before coming in for a day of work with us.  Seven down one to go.

Vermont Chapter “DIV dance” – August 23, 2008

Vermont and upstate New York alums enjoyed a tiki-torchlit “DIV dance” on the shores of Lake Champlain August 23.

Jill Wolcott, ‘74, hosted. “It was an enchanted evening,” said Wolcott – with balmy breezes, the sound of the lake lapping the shore and northern lights above. “I was either right back on the stoop in Yellow Springs or I was in heaven.”

Kenny Peck, ‘75, spun sounds from the ’60s and ’70s. Amanda Calder, ‘07, caught everyone up on the latest doings in Yellow Springs. And the 25 or so alums in attendance, spanning five decades of graduating classes, from the Sixties through the Oughties, bonded over a viewing of The Antioch Adventure.

“Every time we alums get together, we seem to recreate some of the Antioch magic,” said Wolcott.

The impending launch of the Nonstop Liberal Arts Institute was the impetus for the get-together – and cause for renewed excitement among the group about prospects for rekindling the spirit of Antioch College.

“We felt some need to celebrate the victory of the-college-formerly-known-as-Antioch in receiving its independence from the University,” said Peck. “Back in the early 70’s, someone scribbled ‘If dogs run free . . .’ all over the Yellow Springs campus, a sign of those times, but in hindsight it seems more now to be a metaphor of what Antioch was once and perhaps what the Non-Stop venture can still be.”
