Dear Courtney, and everyone else...
I know we are all looking forward to hearing how the student fared on
his adventure at the Art Institute. What a great first way for the
Fund to be used.
While reading the recent issue of the K-O Magazine, I noticed that two
teachers were pictured while on a trip to the Galapagos. And lo and
behold it was the trip I had gone on exactly a year before...and with
Lindblad.Turns out the Chief Financial Officer of Lindblad Expeditions
is a Kingswood alum.
The trip was one I had dreamed of taking for a long time...did lots of
research, and decided to go on a Lindblad ship (since even the idea of
a small yacht makes me seasick). I went with a friend who is a middle
school science teacher, who was so impressed by the naturalists on
board that she hasn't stopped talking about it yet. It was spring
break, and I just loved watching the kids who were lucky enough to be
on the trip watch the wildlife...which of course paid no attention to
them, or to the rest of us. The whole thing is truly amazing. We
snorkeled with the sealions and penguins and hiked all over. Watching
the blue-footed boobies' mating dance is not to be missed. March is
the right time.
We then spent a week in Peru, seeing Machu Pichu at sunset. It has to
be about the most magical place on earth. Lindblad does a wonderful
job...we got to stay at the tiny hotel on the top of the mountain,
instead of down below.
Lindblad is found at www.expeditions.com. Have also done the Costa
Rica and Panama trip with them...and Mom! She turned 82 last week and
is doing great. Still playing tennis and golf.
Have a great rest of the summer. Bonnie

THE FUNDS TO BE DESIGNATED TO THE ART DEPARTMENT FOR USE BY A STUDENT
OR TEACHER TO FURTHER HIS/HER STUDY IN A CHOSEN FIELD. I HAVE COUNTED
ON THE FACULTY TO SUGGEST A STUDENT WHO COULD BENEFIT BY NEW
EXPERIENCES THROUGH TRAVEL OR A STUDY COURSE.

ONE OF HER STUDENTS NAMED PATRICK CRONIN, WHO WILL BE A SENIOR NEXT
YEAR, TO COME TO CHICAGO FOR A 2-WEEK COURSE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ART
INSTITUTE. PATRICK IS ON THE HONOR ROLL, IS A PREFECT, PLAYS VARSITY
FOOTBALL AND LACROSSE AND LAST YEAR TOOK AP ENGLISH AND HONORS
PAINTING. PAT AND HER HUSBAND ARE ESCORTING HIM OUT TO CHICAGO ON
JULY 17TH WHEN I WILL MEET THEM FOR LUNCH. I DON'T BELIEVE HE HAS EVER
FLOWN ON AN AIRPLANE BEFORE.
> THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO CONSISTS OF A MUSEUM AND A
SCHOOL. LATELY THE REPUTATION OF THE SCHOOL HAS SOARED, AND IT NOW
OWNS THREE BUILDINGS IN CHICAGO'S DOWNTOWN (THE LOOP) WHERE CLASSES
ARE HELD. THIS IS NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE DORMITORY IT HAS BUILT ON
STATE STREET OR ITS OTHER RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. PAT AND HER HUSBAND
WILL HELP PATRICK GET SETTLED WHEREVER HE IS LIVING FOR THE 2 WEEKS.
I DO NOT REALLY KNOW ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE SUMMER COURSES, BUT WILL
TRY TO FIND OUT MORE. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, AND I WILL KEEP
YOU POSTED.
